You're essentially forced to buy Gardevoir if you want Erica, so they're putting the human waifu behind a harder barrier than the Pokewaifu, who you could potentially buy and then use the gold for card packs.
In any case, it's an obvious decision to make waifus paywalled. They know what people want to really pay for. They'll deliver with future updates. Trust. Gacha is fueled by coom, they can't reject that even as a family friendly IP. Expect to see popular female trainers/leaders with cute clothing variants and such.
