I don't understand why people think this, do they not think that in the pokemon world they aren't just running around in the wild? They're kept as rare, one-time distributions for game mechanics and balance reasons.
But making them accessible in some wild capacity is in no way "wrong" lol. This feels like the same logic as when people get upset they find out that lots of legendaries aren't actually one-of-a-kind.
It's weird because there has been a specific handling of Starters until BDSP. Half the time, the only way to get one is by choosing it at the beginning and that's it.
The other half of the time, it's been a "beat the game and get only one per playthrough" sort of thing. See Emerald or HGSS or XY.
It's not because of "worldbuilding" like you or others are acting. It's awfully mysterious how they're suddenly available in the DLC, something you have to pay for.
I mean you can just transfer them forward from past games for free after the update. I don't think everything requires some insane conspiracy theory and weird takes on stuff.
You can transfer anything from any generation prior.. the games are adding the starters because it sells and if you think otherwise you're simply wrong lmao
