It capitalizes on the fact that people get hooked as kids and stay hooked forever. It makes sense that they'd want every one of these walking moneybags available in each new gen, because certain people are always going to want those mon and Gamefreak doesn't make any money off used game sales. Maybe you're like me and you've been playing 20 years and have a hundred thousand of these fuckers that you always will want to transfer up, they give you that option. But for every one of us, there's a hundred people that they want to rehook with nostalgia of catching Mewtwo, and a thousand kids who are only seeing Lugia and Dialga for the first time, who can't be expected to go and play two or three old games just to get them into the newest gen. You complain about lore and realism and immersion, but Gamefreak doesn't give a shit about that stuff outside of whatever current game it's on. At some point, you need to realize that Gamefreak is only trying to appeal to people like you on the lowest level because you're hooked already and will buy the games anyway and instead focus on potential new buyers or getting old buyers back.
