My friends and I got very into Ingress [0] back when they only had 8 levels. Now that was literally a predecessor of Pokemon Go; I hear they used the portal data from the former to choose pokemon locations in the latter. Ingress seemed a lot more fun because you could be truly competitive, destroy other players' constructions and gain territory in your home area. There was even a running global count of how much territory each of the two factions had. That said my Pokemon career began and ended with Yellow on the game boy.
