I'll hit up this one first since it's a heck of a lot shorter, if that's cool.
Thing is, you're having things be exactly be like the games on one hand... but then pulling the reality card on this one. You really can't have it both ways. In the games, and even in Route as it is now, you could arguably get what a character considers a perfect team. I say "what a character considers" simply because Joe might have one ideal while Mary might have another altogether. In the games though? You could definitely get a perfect team, so if you want to strictly go by the games, which it sounds like you do, on a lot of levels at least, then a perfect team should be more than possible.
Seriously, what's going to stop them? Is someone going to shoot them if they try to catch, buy, or trade for that one Pokemon? That sounds pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
