Does MET tab exist in gen 1 save files?

Hi, I'm trying to create a pokemon for red (gen 1), but as displayed in the picture, the origin and mystery gift things are missing. From what I'm aware, at least origin can be set in the Met tab. But this just doesn't show up. Opening save files from gen 6 for example, shows the Met tab. Is this just a gen 1 thing?

Met data didn't exist until Crystal.

You've not given any details/file for anyone to assist troubleshooting. You should be using the encounter database to start from a legal template, then update the details (including the current level) to ensure it can legally exist as a Charmeleon. If it is under-leveled (below its natural evolution level from Charmander, 16), then what encounter did it originate from?
