Same as you. I got both Gold And Silver when it came out. I wanted red version or yellow but my uncle couldn't find it so he got me gold and silver.
I was mad at first, but Johto ended up being my favorite region.
I was like 8 (you do the math) when I got my charmander and failed brock's gym. good times...
Think from Gen III they added metal claw as a skill for charmander. The kids these days don't know the true challenge that was charmander
Silver. Chickorita was my starter, and I grinded all of my pokemon to level 22
before I understood how to use a pc box, and get the egg from that guy in the pokemon senter. XD
level 22 before the 2nd gym? Yeah! XD
