Stadium, Too

I beat Pokémon Stadium 2 and drew the Pokémon I used (excluding Challenge Cup rentals)

It feels kind of important. Stadium 2 was the absolute terminus of a lot, being the last game of Generation 2. Stat Experience got replaced by EVs after that, so gen 2 plays REALLY differently from any and all following it. You can max out every stat without sacrificing any points in one for another, which makes the type-bound physical/special split more bearable. Many things can run mixed movesets. I’m not saying it’s better, I’m just saying it feels like an entirely different game, and one that has ended. The one we have now began with Ruby and Sapphire and has not ended. Beating Stadium 2 feels like closure to gen 1 and 2 for me.

Gym Leader Castle/Prime Cup: Politoed, Quagsire, Snorlax, Gengar, Typhlosion, Heracross, Marowak, Mew, Mewtwo
Poké Cup: Politoed, Quagsire, Snorlax, Gengar, Skarmory, shiny Jumpluff (felt like I had to use it)
Little Cup: Chansey, Mankey, Grimer, Gastly, Scyther, shiny Chinchou (bred from the Gyarados)

Deku & Minish

A Deku Scrub with a Minish on his face. They don’t have names.

I admire how Hylians almost never share models with each other in Zelda games. Majora’s Mask went into that with its other NPC races too and Skyward Sword gave the Kikwi little differences and none of the Mogmas were identical either. It’d be super sweet if in one of them, no two NPCs looked alike no matter what they were…and if the Minish came back at all
