I am aware the point of getting only one starter per game is to encourage players to trade with other players, but isn't that the reason there is version exclusive pokemon.
Also considering the fact that these pokemon are not legendaries, why is it you can only get one per game?
Wouldn't it make more sense if these pokemon were just rare but still obtainable. After all, they are included in the pokedexes of their respective regions, and we do see other trainers with them. So we know they're not impossible to get.
I think it would make sense if the only places you could get the other starters were the Pokemon preserves in the games. After all, if they were technically endangered, it would make sense they would be rare.
For example, after you pick one starter, the 2nd starter won't appear in the Pokemon preserves until after you beat all the contest ranks. Likewise the last remaining starter won't appear until after you have beaten the elite 4.
What is everyone's thoughts about this? Do you think Starter Pokemon should be available to catch in game? What are your thoughts concerning the starters being used as a reward system for accomplishing certain feats in game?
