>>55624352This is canon, the first game has no wild pokemon, the second has a few wild pokemon that only appear in certain areas through bait:
Sandshrew, Giglar, Tranpich in a rocky and desert area
Hoppip, Phanpy, Surskit in the oasis
Zubat, Aaron, Wooper inside an underground cave
These would be the only wild Pokémon in Orre, there are also Bonsly and Munchlax but these are cases of feral Pokémon that escaped from their owners.
The official Starter is an Eevee, in the second game the protagonist is about to begin his Pokémon journey and is given an Eevee, the first protagonist is older and has an Umbreon and an Espeon, level 25, the region only has a single Gym and Gym Leader, not that it really needs it, the entire region is full of strong Trainers and bandits, so a legal league is impossible.
Pokemon are used more as weapons than as friends, this is the reason for the creation of Shadow Pokemon, improved weapons focused on combat.
