Pokemon - Red

Having only owned Red and not Blue, I can't fairly compare them. However, the only difference is the Pokémon you can obtain, and in that both seem equal. Comparing Red/Blue is different. Yellow tries so hard to match up with the anime, yet comes up sickeningly short. It adds a poor plot where there should be no plot, at the expense of gameplay. Red/Blue are superior.

The puzzles and dungeons of the chromatics (Red/Blue/Yellow) are difficult, far more so than those of the metallics (Gold/Silver/Crystal) and the gems (Ruby/Sapphire). However, the final bosses are lacking compared to the Gems'. The Gems also have some decent plot. I would say that the gems and chromatics are equal, and the metallics are lacking. However, only buy the chromatics (which are incompatible with the gems) if you've exhausted the gems. Still, it's a better choice than the metallics.
