Two different copies, actually. EDIT: Oops, forgot the "special" ones (like Crystal, Yellow, etc). Yeah, I guess it is 3.
Also, money. Gullible chumps who are obsessed with Pokemon are willing to pay $70 for two games that are identical outside of a few Pokemon swapped out. Sucking as much money out of people as possible is the Nintendo way.
Technically 2 games were enough to capture everything in Gen II; it was only if you had Crystal alone that you needed both Gold and Silver. Hopefully that wouldn't involve actually buying each game, though, if you at least knew someone who had the other version.
Generation 3 was worst, as you not only needed access to Ruby and Sapphire, but FireRed and LeafGreen as well, if you wanted to capture everything. And Emerald or the Gamecube games in addition to all that.
