2nd Gen The originals or the remakes?

For First Generation, I would say the originals. But if it has to be the version of my own, then remakes because I didn't like the way Pokemon Red and Green was localized, making Blue the missing link despite its engine being used. Who thought it's a good idea to localize the first two versions using the engine of the third version?

For Second Generation, whether it's the original region or the region of my own, I have to go for Remakes because everything was done right (For example, you can explore Kanto to its full potential,) you're allowed to have Pokemon that aren't in Johto and Kanto without having to get a National Pokedex (unlike in Fire Red and Leaf Green where you can only have First Gen Pokemon until you get National Pokedex,) The feature is nice to keep you in touch.
 
For first gen definitely originals. Even I have too much nostalgia, and I hate nostalgia. Plus I couldn't stand the "previously on your journey..." stuff every single time I started the game up.

It's a toss-up between the remakes and the originals in second gen though. In the end, I'd have to say the originals, because I loved Crystal but I couldn't even finish my HG.
 
I prefer the remakes for one reason. I can keep my pokemon. Being able to migrate them up the generations makes it feel more real to me. Whereas having to keep R/B/Y and G/S/C in just those two gens make me uncomfortable with the whole internal battery dieing thing.
 
In terms of RBYG, I think FR/LG is better(but not "much better").

When it comes to GSC, I like HGSS but Crystal is still awesome!

But overall. I prefer the remakes over the originals mainly because I haven't had a chance to play and finish them. The remakes also presented new features, revamped tiles, new scripts and such.
 
Remakes, I loved the old games but its really nice to see how they've been modernized (I wish I could repeat last year over and over, I loved how everything was gen II orientated in the Pokemon world again) and in HG/SS they put in so much more brilliant stuff to improve on the classics (the redesigns of the gyms was a personal favourite)
 
This isn't really a topic for me to answer since I never played the remakes, but I prefer the originals for their nostalgic value and simplicity.
 
Even though I grew up playing the originals, and loved them so very much, I prefer the remakes. They're more fresh, refined, and just better overall.
 
I will always say the originals. Their was just something special about them. And to be honest, if you take the graphics out of the whole arguement, are the remakes truley better? Graphics are the only thing thats truley better about the remakes.
 
The originals are better in my opinion because I think the graphics and the 8-bit sounds are what makes the Pokemon games. It just seems to me that that's how the games were meant to be and that's how they should be. I feels more right to play them.
 
i prefer the remakes of 2nd gen. (just miss not having the interactive sprites)

but the originals of 1st gen are always gonna be the best for me. especially my beloved blue version.
 
Remakes are the best IMO, the game play, graphics, speed, mechanics, pokemon... Everything is just better. Although the old ones will always carry a certain charm about them to say the least...
 
I honestly prefer the remakes since they're more graphically appealing and have more interesting features.
 
I would have to say the originals because that's what I grew up playing, I did however enjoy the remakes too because it was almost like going back to when I was 5, playing the originals.
 
Obviously the remakes are better for me because well they improved in a lot of things such as taking Glitches out of the games, there are more Pokemon in these games, more side quest and last but no least the graphics are way better. I am not one of those people that are stuck in the past when it comes to Pokemon.

Definitely the originals. They're so much easier to play (but its probably because I can run them at 5000% with the speed button on my emulator). I still don't think I've beaten HG/SS yet, and only beaten FRLG two or three times. Plus, I grew up with them, and I just know them better. There are slight differences that I just know the original way better.
 
R/B - because it seems better, more orginal and simple. But I'll play FR/LG just for any new parts
G/S - Same reason as above.
 
I definitely prefer G/S/C hands down.
HG/SS is really awesome, especially with the PokeWalker, but I just can't pass up G/S/C, especially Crystal. They have been my favorite Pokemon games since I began playing them, and that will never change.
 
Though the originals are great, I prefer the remakes like FR/LG, and HG/SS(though I do really like crystal a lot). I like how they expanded on the regions and made it more colorful and the towns almost like your actually walking in them. When I play them, I reminds me of the old games, but with a splash of color and better graphics for more fun!!
