Which Version Has Better Exclusives?

LeafGreen has the Versatile Starmie

Starmie

Pokemon LeafGreen has an advantage over FireRed with its access to Starmie. Starmie is an easy to acquire Pokemon with a good offensive stat spread and a large move pool, with access to attacks from various types like Surf, Psychic, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt.

From a play-through perspective, having versatile Pokemon is a big advantage due to type weaknesses allowing for easier battles overall.
