Has completing the Pokedex aged well in gen 1?

I got close, but no, I never finished it. I think I had about 114 Pokemon cataloged.

It was way too hard to achieve this feat in the early games even with help from friends because nobody that I knew was willing to trade their version exclusive Pokemon unless they got something rare in return. :[

I finished it in Red version about 10 years ago when I replayed the game, but I didn't feel that it was worth it. Perhaps because I wasn't that interested in the Kanto games when I achieved that accomplishment: if I had done it during the Gen I era, I probably would've felt happier.

I don't recall having Pokedex completion as a major goal for myself even this early on. Like, it wasn't a thing for Ash and I preferred him having a smaller team that he really bonded with. And even if I had, the only reward being the Diploma would have probably been really disappointing lol.
