You know you grew up with Generation 1 when you can recall those horrid Geocities sites full of people lying out of their teeth about Mewthree, Nidogod, Nidogoddess, and possibly some other 'winners' that escape me ATM.

You know you grew up in gen 1 if you know some of the original game OST by heart. (I remember the original gym battle theme all too well for me to pass up.)
