The reason for different mosters in different version is pretty simple- you're
supposed to buy one and trade (via the Link Cable) with other players.
Pokemon was Nintendo's answer to the Tamagotchi trend. The advantage that
Pokemon had was that it was far more interactive (with other people, I mean).
That caused it to last a LOT longer.

Then you might want not me to tell you this, but Pokemon Stadium (for the
N64) goes one better than a mere rehashing of the Game Boy game. PS comes with
an adapter though which you can *download* your GB Pokemon into the PS
cartridge, and fight with all your old Pokemon in glorious color and 3D on the
N64.
For the record: I do have an N64, but I do NOT own a Game Boy or any Pokemon
games. I have played Pokemon Snap, which is actually pretty fun (except that a
monkey with a head wound could judge photos better than the engine they gave
Professor Oak in the game)- I just think the adaptability and interactiveness
of the games is really cool.
