I actually tried to run away from the battle when I started losing because I was so under leveled for Mt. Silver that I had been running away from the wild pokemon my starter couldn't defeat and it had become a habit. My only decently leveled pokemon at the time were my Typhlosion, who was stupidly high level, and my Kingler, who was maybe in the high 60's. The rest of my team was even more shit and were all in their late 40's to early 50's. I beat his Pikachu and Espeon with Typhlosion (barely) and defeated his Blastoise with Kingler after Typhlosion weakened it. Then Snorlax appeared and swept my entire team.
I spent weeks (I didn't get to play the game too often due to my parents only allowing a certain amount of video game time each day) training and rebuilding my team to handle this fight. I got so completely and utterly schooled by Red that I became obsessed until just a few years ago with type autism. I had to have as many different types in my party as possible in every game until like 2011.
Some of my favorite pokemon to this day are the bros I made training for that fight: crobat, ampharos, graveler, and snorlax.
