Which one do you like better?
Personally, I dislike the both of them, but FireRed is the best by far- don't believe me? Which version do you get Growlithe on?
My point exactly.

I have played neither of them, but probably LeafGreen, as we get Ninetales there.
Ninetales. <3

Arcaine is actually better than Ninetales: better HP, Attack, Defense and Special Attack. Special Defense doesn't matter when they face off, as fire moves are taken care of by their ability Flash Fire, so Ninetale's only upside is it's speed is five points higher than Arcaine's.

Speed can be very useful. We are not seeing who wins if they both battle - we are seeing who is more useful overall. Ninetales gets Drought, so of course, it is more useful. It is in Overused, while Arcanine is in Underused...... though Smogon admits that its tiers are NOT accurate. Do you know that the only reason Arcanine is not Overused is its Speed - it has to be higher.

I'm talking about Fr/Lg here- not Gen 5. This is a Gen 3 discussion thread, so I'm discussing how it was at the time.

Yeah... I think they both have a chance of winning, the winner depends on the strategy used. Arcaine can use overwhelming physical attacks (extremespeed, which always goes first) because of its attack stat. So, theoretically, there is no real winner- they're evenly matched in the 3rd Generation. And that's probably why they're version exclusives

Sooooo beautiful! But design is just a point of opinion.

Actually, I agree with you on that point. A Shiny Ninetales would be amazing, a Shiny Arcaine is just goldish...
