Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are Generation 3 Pokémon games that are remakes of the original Pokémon Red and Green(Red and Blue for international release). These games are similar to their source material in many aspects. But one major point of divergence between the two pairs is the list of version-exclusive Pokémon. We saw a tweak in version exclusives between the generations. Here’s a list of all version-exclusive Pokémon in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen:

There are no other substantial differences between these versions. I hope this list makes it easier for you to choose the version you play.
