If someone isn't as lucky as PkMn Trainer Red or Ash Ketchum and they aren't born in the town of Pallet, how do they first obtain their starter pokemon in the land of Kanto? Do they have to travel across the entire region just to get their first pokemon? How will they fight off the wild pokemon that ambush them on their way? Do they need to get a ride from mommy or something? What if they are born in Cinnabar Island? Swim across the sea to Pallet town? Or have mommy get them a ferry ride or something?
Also, it's interesting that in the anime we see many trainers, however they are NOT using one of the starter pokemon. In fact, it is incredibly rare to see a trainer using a starter pokemon of their region. Do they just release their starter as soon as possible? 99% of pokemon trainers didn't get along with their starters or something? Ash rolls with his starter 100% of the time. It's weird that we don't see many others like that. Unless they do, and have obtained unorthodox starter pokemon because of the fact that they weren't born in a starter town. Could this possibly be the answer? I wonder, if that's the case, how did they obtain their pokemon? Did Brock see an enormous onix as soon as he left Pewter City in Rock Tunnel and said "hey screw it! i'll just throw a ball even though I have no Pokemon to weaken it with!" and WALLAH! Caught!? Hmm... What do you think, Serebii?
