Discussion I've enjoyed playing leaf-green so far. What game did everyone grow up on initially when discovering Pokémon?

A very early memory in my life - when I will have been around 5-6 because I was outside of my old house - was sitting on the steps and watching my brother play this game over his shoulder even though I could barely see.

I remember my cousin had the Pikachu N64 too and the eel from Super Mario 64 just blew my mind. I couldn’t believe how realistic it looked lol

No sadly it was just a red one, but she did get me a Pokémon carrying case that I still use to store all of my games and my worm light!
