Yeah, Gen 1 had a lot of counterparts and when Gen 2 came out, they seemed to have ditched it.
Jigglypuff/Clefairy, Vulpix/Growlithe, Oddish/Bellsprout, Scyther/Pinsir, Electabuzz/Magmar, Mr. Mime/Jynx, Caterpie/Weedle, Voltorb/Magnemite, the Nidorans, Kabuto/Omanyte, etc. etc. etc.
Then they added inter-gen counterparts, like Tauros/Miltank, Magikarp/Feebas, Pidgey/Starly, Ratatta/Sentret/Zigzagoon/Bidoof, /Ralts/Abra, Skitty/Meowth, the Legendary Trios, Starters, etc. etc. etc.
Single game counterparts do creep in every so often though; Lotad/Seedot, for example.
