I much prefer the originals. Not that I have anything against remakes, but the originals kinda feel like a breath of fresh air, like you're completely in the dark about what to expect, where to go, the Pokemon you're going to catch, things like that! To me, it's a thrill playing a game that I have not played before because I want the game to constantly surprise me! Unfortunately with remakes, I kind of already know what to expect, which isn't a bad thing per se, but it's not really as exciting to play through anymore. It's nice for nostalgia, though!
So far the only remakes that I appreciate are the FireRed and LeafGreen versions as well as HeartGold and SoulSilver because of their updated mechanics.
If there isn't going to be a plot reboot, there has to be, at the very least, something to make the post-game a lot more exciting and engaging because I feel like most of it dies after beating the Elite Four. ...But that's another topic, anyway. u_u

Unlike most people here who wear nostalgia goggles, I actually prefer the remakes over the original versions because it keeps the iconic features of the game but brings it to a modern audience with updated mechanics so that it can be more relevant to the current state of the games.
Having started with Red/Blue I must say that I prefer playing FireRed/LeafGreen due to how faithful they are. The same thing can't be said about HeartGold/SoulSilver.
