I'm a university professor in Jubilife City in Sinnoh, but I grew up in Kanto. I'm not one of those "pokemon professors" either, though, I just teach critical theory. Don't ask me about evolution or eggs or whatever. I don't have the answers.
The Wigglytuff has been with me a long, long time. Paras was the first I ever caught myself at about thirteen and it evolved right around the time I graduated high school. The Sandshrew I caught during my undergraduate year in Sinnoh while visiting relatives back home. The Duskull I caught in Hoenn while exploring graveyards during grad school as a twenty-something rascal obsessed with spooky things.
Not sure how regular people can have so many pokemon. Unless you're a full-time trainer, it's almost impossible to find anything less than common just moseying about in the wild. And if you're not really going to enjoy their company then there's no real point in collecting so many, besides, Pokeballs cost more money than it's worth to keep around in droves.
