I was 4 i got red version from a slackers the guy gave it to me for free don't know why but those were the days i could sit there and imagine running through the forest with blastoise of course i didn't know a thing about a balanced team at the time so i had a level 70 blastoise and a level 38 pidgeot i think i had a nidorino too but don't know the level never beat it though i was stuck at the fifth badge but when i was 6 i got gold and beat it on my own i was pretty proud.
