Now that I think about it. This could be somewhat of a good ploy by Nintendo to make people buy a GameCube just to unlock all the Pokemon. I can see it now. About a month or 2 after its release, 'Cube sales will soar for a while because kids will be begging their mothers to buy a Gamecube and the link cable so that they can get all the Pokemon.
