>>33630747I never once said to not buy Platinum, Crystal, or some other third version. I advised that if you choose to do so, know that some Pokemon will be missing because that's the way these games were programmed.
You are meant to fill the gap by buying the other two games. Crystal and other third versions were programmed so that you can't just wait until a third version to complete a PokeDex. (You must buy the other two versions in addition to Crystal.)
