Hasn't that always been the way with Pokemon though? With the original Pokemon Red and Blue in North American release on Gameboy, you couldn't get all the Pokemon independently. You needed someone the opposite color cartridge to trade with. Same problem except then you needed to be face to face friends with someone and at least one of you needed to own the link cable.
