This may be due to me being more partial to Pokemon FireRed Version (my first journey in Kanto, which involved me staring at the new artwork for Red and Leaf for quite a while XD), but I think the Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen Versions artwork is more fitting for Red compared to the Pokemon Red/Blue/Green/Yellow Versions artwork. The FR/LG version looks more confident, slightly-but-not-too-much mature, collected (he just lets his backpack hang by both straps rather than grabbing one of them, while one of his hands just idles in one of his pockets, and he seems prepared with that nifty little gadget by his side (the VS Seeker)), with a no-nonsense-yet-possibly-uncertain-about-some-things look about him (as if to say "Just try to send out a Pokemon...it's futile") plus baggy pants (jeans?) FTW!
Red's older RBGY design is decent (I essentially envision the older RBGY design as "10-year-old" Red, and the newer FR/LG design as "13-year-old/teenage Red", canon be darned), although I really get irritated about how most of the fanmade artwork I've seen for RBGY Red makes him look like a 16/18-year-old pretty boy. Like seriously, he'sten eleven. >_> Even while Pokemon Black/White Versions 2 make Red plausibly attain the age of 16, fanart still makes him look implausibly handsome, in my opinion... FR/LG Red, on the other hand, looks like a rugged-yet-experienced look that I can support. The one mark I would give against FR/LG Red is that his Generation 3 jeans look way too skinny in the sprite form, although I guess that properly helps him seem even more inexperienced, somewhat. I have to agree that the RBGY sprites for Red feel iconic, in a way.
