Stuff I missed beforehand:

dmxratedPokemon Stadium 1 and 2: An intended continuation of everything I had done in Red. Bought Stadium 1 and two transfer paks, and still couldn't transfer any of my mons onto the game. In hindsight, I suppose I could have bought a second copy of the game, even if it was later on, but after having paid for that many things already, I decided not to make any bigger a deal out of it.
The Battle Tower in Crystal: Tried out during my '03 playthrough (prior to my startover in Red), and found it way too hard. (Also tried out the one in Sapphire after completing its main game, but it initially didn't interest me that much either, and it wasn't until I got serious about the Battle Frontier in Emerald that I would come back to it.)
And, in lieu of Bill's time machine, if migrating had been introduced during gen II instead of IV, I might have made use of it then (not so much before '06, though). But then again, maybe not, considering how I sought other people at school to help me fix up Sapphire before sending that game to get repaired instead of buying a second Game Boy Advance (which Mom did, and then returned). Didn't know at the time, either, that the Game Boy Advance was compatible with GBC games. (Not that that would've helped with the berry glitch even if that copy of Sapphire was legitimate.)
And finally, if I decide not to play any further games since Diamond, this whole mess might be all the more reason to come back to Parasitic Trio. Someone in Emerald even mentions the Battle Frontier as a place where people come from around the world, and the one in PT (combining those from both Emerald and Platinum/HGSS, with the Battle Subway to boot) would be a better place than any to showcase such a vast variety of mons from gen V and beyond. (May, beforehand, will probably visit the Battle Resort, complete with the Battle Maison, before heading to Sinnoh.)
