I agree with this completely and one thing I'd like to contribute is the idea of more jobs for the characters to do. Given that the common thing we are all told, ICly and OOCly is that than pretty much only become Trainers or Breeders. Which is probably why it got blurred so easily! But why not introduce a few things that the later games have? Gen III introduced Coordinators and the spin-off game Pokemon Ranger introduced the Rangers, which turns out to be more than the trainer class.
It'll give the characters more options, really. Not to mention, how about the option to completely settled down in Johto? Open a shop? Pick a city to live and get a day job? I'm not saying these weren't options before but it seems to be like the characters don't know any better since Professor Oak basically tells then GO FORTH INTO THE WORLD AND BECOME MASTERS! Y'know? Not that the characters wouldn't be smart enough to get a 9-5 job and settle down somewhere, but I've hardly seen anyone actually do this either.
Johto is an entirely different world and the anime, the spin-off games, and the normal games show that it's a functional world with people who aren't trainers and breeders. If they all were, it'd be utter chaos!

So, just my two cents here as well <3
