For gens 1 and 2, I settled for completing the national dex. Gen 1, I did so in all four games. Gen 2, I did it in Gold, didn't bother trading over for Silver, didn't even play Crystal. Gen 3? Not only did I complete the dex in all five games, I played both Gamecube games and ended up making a living dex. These games were fucking masterful and I'm regretful that I wasn't really into the games back then.

Let's have a gen 3 thread, anons. Why can't the later gens have storage software as good as the Stadium games or Box?
