whats the lore behind starters? do they breed and train them in mass to give to small children? are they the most common pokémon you would see in the world? why dont most trainers in the region use their starters?

They're just a few rare pokemon the professor has on them
I imagine most kids just get whatever is sitting around
IIRC SM is the only one were they treat it as a mundane thing

They aren't trainers, just people with pokémon, they didn't start a journey like you. Maybe ace trainers or some other serious trainers. Ace trainers and rising stars are the closest to actual trainers there are.

And regarding starters, dont' know. I always thought about that too.

They are said to be rare, maybe they cannot survive in the wild like some animals (example being a canary) so they are mostly bred to give them to trainers.

Not everyone gets a proper starter Pokémon
Most people just get whatever. For example, Nanu gives out Meowths to kids starting out as trainers on his island.

Probably specially bred within the scientific pokemon professor community, usually very rare but have been determined by scientist to be capable of very easy consistent growth and evolutions so they give them out to trainers who they want to do field research for them.

Do they ever refer to them as the starter pokemon in the games themselves?

wait so its not something systematic? its just coincidental that in every region theres a professor with exactly a water, fire and grass pokémon just lying around? or do the professors know that these three types are ideal for a starting trainer to begin with its career?

It's a coincidence because it's a kids game and not meant to be analysed
The real answer is they want you to feel special with your rare pokemon and force

Where the fuck did the second half if that post go
Anyway it's to force you to trade with others to increase sales
Fire water grass is just the thing that pokemon does
