Pokemon hasn't seriously cared about catching them all since Ruby and Sapphire's beta boxart, you can complete the Pokedex but none of the games seriously encourage you to do so except for Legends which makes the entire game revolve around "Seek out all Pokemon", the Pokedex is integral to the gameplay and story of Legends where as I only used it in XY to find the postgame legendary bird.
You're defending the removal of an option everyone liked with a headcanon that can be disproved with an official statement from one of the game directors of modern mainline Pokemon games.
Stop posting.
