For all intents and purposes, it is the original. It is the first to be released in English, but the actual order is more complicated:
1. Red and Green (Japanese, originals)
2. Blue (Japanese, superior revised edition of Red and Green)
3. Red and Blue (English, translation of Japanese Blue split to two games)
4. Yellow (Special Pikachu Edition released in both Japan and the west)
I think that's right anyway.

Link has reached 50% health. He had to wait a little longer, but he too gains a new power! Link is a peerless master of the sword and can make the most focused, efficient strikes.
Bonus ability for Link: can deal two points of damage to the target (still only restores one health).
Greninja used hydro vortex.

I did a run through myself (Jesus Christ people you post fast), and I got the same as Commando except Greninja only had 5HP. I don't know if either of us were right but I'm just going to go with 5HP, it's easy to make mistakes doing this.
rabidgoodra tried to have Greninja attack both enemies in an earlier post. I didn't count it but I doubt it would have made a difference anyway since by this post Link and Shepard were both on full health. But no worries, you might like what happens now.
Greninja, on falling below 50% health, is angry. His Torrent ability improves his power.
Bonus ability for Greninja: can attack both enemies (still only restores one health).
Greninja, now empowered, lets two water shurikens loose.

You make it sound so easy to judge things as good or bad when the whole point is that this is subjective.
I'm genuinely surprised you're using the term "objectively bad suggestions" and are standing by it. I think I need somebody to sit down and explain it to me.
You can't choose what kind of culture the thread fosters. "Eh you can read it if you want but if you don't nobody will mind" is pretty nice in theory. But it will never happen. You'll get exactly what you got with 2.0 and FTC, which was "Oh my God did you even read that thread here I'll quote it now go read it", as if it's a holy book.
It's great and all that it wouldn't be the point, but whether or not it's the point is completely irrelevant to what will actually happen in the real world.
I don't like it. The point should be to have guides which teach people how to think and then apply all that thinking power to make suggestions. The point should not be to tell people what specifically they probably shouldn't be writing in their threads. And that is the inevitable outcome of such a thread whether you intend it or not.
If/when such a thread exists, expect a lot of complaining from my end over specific details nobody else really cares about. Just like the good old days.

Shepard, on reaching 50% health, isn't very happy with Greninja and Link. Overcome by determination, he gains new power.
Bonus ability for Shepard: restores an additional point of health on doing damage.

The rule is still in place, I'm discounting any extra posts within the same hour. No worries though, I don't really blame anyone considering this is the first time the rule was ever needed.

Switching the health to numbers because MCForum removes the colours from the bars whenever I copy-paste them. As you might imagine, that makes things hard. Greninja uses night slash on Link.

"3 remain!"
The announcement bellowed through the forum arena - the first of its kind. Each combatant stopped, suddenly sizing the others up. Holographic bars appeared over their heads.

Greninja: [||||||||||]

Each player must select two characters - one to attack and one to be attacked. The attacker drains one point health from the victim, regaining one lost point themselves. Last man standing wins.
You think that's all there is to it, though? Just you wait.
Round 15 begins now.
