You do realize the main point of trading is to trade with other people, right? It's supposed to feel like you're building a real life collection. You're supposed to acquire the pokemon you can't get in your own version by negotiating trades with other people.


And you can still do that. Just not for every Pokemon that's ever existed. 400+ is a perfectly respectable number of different things to collect and trade for. That it's less than the 900 possible things that exist at an IP level doesn't mean it's not going to take hundreds of hours of collecting to catch them all.

Pokemon was literally based on bug collecting...like, just imagine if you told a bug collector that they were forbidden from collecting over half of the bugs species in the world.


Roughly a third of insect species worldwide are endangered, meaning collectors indeed should not be collecting them (off-hand, I don't know what the actual legalities are and I presume they vary from region to region). That's not quite as effective an analogy as you thought it was.
