Yeah, but for me, it's not that bad a thing, as I've almost got all the Emerald/Sapphire/FireRed stuff and have already got an old DS... But, that still doesn't answer the availability of the starters and such. Sure, Emerald and Colo/xDXD has the Johto starters, but XD/Colo were released back around 2005 or so, and since not many have it or could get it now, they need an easier way to get them. And not everyone has a way to get all the Hoenn Dex Pokemon in Emerald, like me.(Speaking of which, anyone happen to have a Zangoose? Since I don't have Ruby, I have absolutely no way to get one >_> Same with any other Ru exclusive Pokemon that aren't in Emerald, though... I don't actually think there are any others.) And there's also the fact that you can only get 1 starter from Emerald. Plus, Ho-oh and Lugia, who aren't easy to get in Colo/XD respectively. You need to beat Mount Battle in Colo for Ho-Oh, and purify Shadow Lugia which is pretty hard to pull off if you don't know how to. Plus, there's the same stuff about Colo/XD for the Johto Starters, in the fact that not everyone has it/can get it. Plus, it'd make certain Johto Pokemon easier to get(... Anyone happen to see Miltank around?), and possibly some Kanto Pokemon(Anyone know the chances of finding a Tauros in a Honey Tree or the Kanto Safari Zone?). Plus, Platinum explains where the 3 birds from Kanto went, and has tons of references to Johto, like the Happiny egg guy's reference to Elm, the Red Gyarados reference, Jasmine showing up in the electric gym town, among others. And the anime seems to have an awful amount of Johto references from what I've heard(Including May's return from Johto and referencing that).

Also, not related to that... Is it just me, or in the battle against Crasher Wake, did Brock have Lucas' platinum jacket on? 0_o
