>>44007969Pokemon not being catchable isn't the same as them straight up not being programmed into the game. As intended, Red and Green are complete experiences and Blue and Yellow add nothing of substance to that. Trading has always been part of the spirit of the game, it's only a recent phenomenon where GF has gone out of their way to make that more difficult. Before then, they were perfectly willing to make it easier on players.
>GTS introduced in gen IV>Direct trading limited only by Nintendo's shitty friend code system>XY introduced PSS to get around friend codesAnd then lo and behold, after XY they started bundling versions together and the experience got shittier before they just straight up removed the GTS from the base game. But you're just gonna screech about how it was a jew move all along even though most consumers only buy one and the exploitation of double dippers didn't start until ORAS.
