Like I said, it's probably because it was the version I first got as a kid. I honestly can't weigh one over the other. Although, it was probably the first video game I ever actually got on a computer to research stuff for. I had pages and pages of printouts of pokemon stuff when I was a kid, and I do remember looking into the different pokemon in each version, so I must have liked the pokemon exclusive to Red more, but I don't know.
