3rd Gen FireRed or LeafGreen?

LeafGreen because I prefer the Pokemon that are exclusive to the game which is the only in-game difference between the two. Other than that, I prefer the cover and the colours displayed on the cover. LG was one of my first Pokemon games and I've used a lot in challenges, so I think I have good reason to pick LG over FR.
 
Fire Red:
  • Box-art was way more appealing, Charizard just ruled.
  • I really liked the exclusives much more, and I disliked Bulbasaur.
  • They should've remade Blue (Aqua Blue or something) because in Europe/NA in Gen I Blue/Red were released and Green wasn't.
 
Leaf Green, because I like Venusaur more. ;D

Though seriously, I have (or at least ended up with) both versions, but Leaf Green is the one I prefer since it was "mine" in the first place, it was the version I actually bought for myself. The Fire Red I have was actually my sister's copy at one point, but it ended up in my care whoops. I think I chose Leaf Green in the first place since my first pokemon game ever was Blue, and in place of Blue not being one of the two colors available here ...Leaf Green was the next best choice.
 
Firered, just because i could catch Growlithe haha
 
LeafGreen. I bought it simply because green is my favorite color and I preferred Venusaur though lmfao. FireRed did have some of my favorites, such as Growlithe, but LeafGreen had Slowpoke so.
 
LeafGreen, simply because of nostalgia. However most of the exclusives that I liked were on FireRed. (Scizor, Skarmory and Arcanine)
 
LeafGreen! It was one of my first Pokemon games ever, then I lost it for few years and when finally found it I cried because I was so happy. ;-; It was in my old bag that was inside the wardrobe, I'm so stupid.
 
Leafgreen cause it was one of my first pokemon games and i never played firered and i like supporting the underdog pokemon and everyone already loves charizard. :)
 
Leaf Green was the version I bought, since it has the better version exclusives, my brother got the other version, and since I was gonna play through the game as Leaf...

The featured Pokemon on the front was a moot point because I went with Squirtle as my starter :P
 
I like Fire Red because of Arcanine, Scyther and I also like Leaf Green because of Starmie, Slowbro though I usually play Fire Red due to Arcanine being my must have pokemon in Kanto. My usual Kanto team is

1.Arcanine
2.Nidoking
3.Jolteon
4.Lapras
5.Aerodactyl, Dragonite or Scyther(albeit rarely)
6.HM slave
 
Definitely, Leaf Green, I always liked Victreebel and Slowbro.
 
FireRed had better exclusives. That's the only real thing that matters.
 
I got FireRed first when that came out, which I loved sooo much honestly. But, I picked up LeafGreen a couple of years ago and that quickly replaced FireRed as my favorite between those two remakes, mostly because I got to use Ninetales, but also because I picked Bulbasaur as my starter and it quickly became my favorite Kanto starter after that, too.
