Catch a Pidgey or Spearow? Replace it with a Dodo/Dodrio later on. Catch a Rattata? Ditch it for a Meowth and then Snorlax. Caught a Beedrill? Grab a Paras and then later a Scyther or Pinsir. They didn't take into account that kids would grow ATTACHED to their virtual pets. In future game they improve the starting routes Pokémon so that many can realistically be carried until the end of the game without being penalized too much. Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee were remakes of the first games that gave you a special partner Pokémon with boosted stats and special coverage moves not available to the regular ones. I'm saying a Beast Master should have a partner like that.</blockquote>
