>Starters are extremely rare or almost extinct in the wild!
Seriously, how many of you would trust an endangered animal with an 11 year old?

It's never been stated that starters are endangered.
Humans mature faster and are less malicious in the pokemon universe.
Bad people do exist, but at the very least most evil people are level headed too.
Only real exception to Zinnia, dumb cunt.

Penguins are only found in the Southern hemisphere, whereas Sinnoh is quite clearly in the far north. That means that you can't find Piplup in the wild in Sinnoh, but they're abundant on other landmasses in the south.

11 year olds are the most competent folks in the pokemon world. Why wouldn't you entrust it to them? Shit man, they are the only ones capable of repopulating them.

If the creature thrives off battling then handing it to a kid that doesn't have much else to do is probably alright. Adults have to do other shit than raise a really weak mon from scratch.

What is Doduo
>>30817657
Starters are common in Orre, Fiore, Almia and Oblivia, therefore I think there is a kind of little migration or pokemon Professors are just soulless poachers.

Well, maybe they were. But by now all the breeders together probably repopulated the starters by releasing all the "crap" ones. And considering all those "crap" starters have pretty good genes regardless, they will one day result in super strong wild ones.
Well it's apparently worked out really well because all the main characters in-game are apparently breeding geniuses who breed Pokemon species into becoming an invasive species over night
They're probably like domesticated dogs. It's not like you're going to go romping around innawoods for a while and find one.
