>>18918451>tfw I prefer blue over red as a color, but I ended up getting red Version.I gues that when you're a teenager who started playing D&D (I was 13 when Pokémon Red and Blue came out in France in october 1999), a dragon with fire on its tail is more awesome that a giant turtle with cannons coming out of its shell.
Back on topic, Red was considered the best version, and from what I remember, the debate was intense about Silver and Gold. silver had a dragon so it was better than a fucking phoenix, but Gold was also better because of Olympic medals.
