Yeah I hated that too. Not being able to use whatever Pokémon you wanted when you wanted. It was stupid decision making I'd say. That and the one per species as you said. I've said it many of times before, but genders too. For those girls out there wanting to play the main character as a female are out of luck. All Pokémon are set as male. So you get to play as YOU as a male Pikachu. That'd be like telling you the game you play....imagine YOU turn into this. Then suddenly you notice you aren't actually YOU. Suddenly you're someone else entirely. I mean play as Pikachu and get the natural look, but you ladies out there don't.
Sure you could argue that takes away all the gender exclusive sets they used to have, but so? That made it fun to go back and want to try playing the game again one day as that Pokémon! Outside of that the scarfs/bandanas, IQ system, and even eggs made it totally fun! I miss all the old features that made it so great.
