No I dont ever remember that.
I never played RBY and that was the only game where you could actually catch them all, minus Mew because fuck non-Japanese players.
In later gens you have to put up with grinding for 1% encounters, breeding every baby Pokemon, gathering multiple evolution items via mind-numbing postgame “battle minigames,” buying a second handheld to trade with yourself or convincing a friend to sit and stare at the fucking 20 minute long trade animation as you swap Graveler back and forth, then, FUCKING THEN, after all that utter BULLSHIT and all the resets for the Starter trios in each previous game + trading all the version exclusives and legendaries and fucking Dunsparces from previous games, after ALL THAT, then Gamefuck spits in your face and won’t let you catch Deoxys or Darkrai because fuck you, you weren’t there at a Gamestop in 2010. Get fucked kiddo.
“Catching them all” is pure autism for braindead completionists. If it was actually doable and somewhat fun like in Ultra Violet or a few other ROMs with a ketchum gimmick, I’d be fine with it.
But that’s not how it works. Fuck catching them all, I’ll never catch them all.
Not because I don’t want to, but because it’s a Herculean task / self-inflicted punishment. Even completing the regional dexs in some games is obscenely tedious.
