HG/SS
I really don't know if I would want a sonic or daughter. Opinions?
You mean your wife's son.
Seconding HG/SS. Modern enough to keep his interest, very user friendly without being hand-holdy, and introduces him to 2 of the 6 (soon to be 7) regions in one game. Plus I think kids are the type to be enamored with Pokemon following you.
red or blue of course
Honestly? XY
The save times in gen4 and 5 are horrific and were the biggest turn off for my cousin getting started.

Sun and Moon
I think he should be fine with ORAS, as giving him older gens would just alienate the experience as a first game.
Also:
give him sun/moon on christmas
