Well it says research level 2.
It's Nintendo, so no.
Casual players absolutely will try to catch everything. That has been the appeal of the franchise from the very start? It's also why GO is so popular.Nintendo/GF gives you 200 Pokeballs as pre-order bonus. The worst of all balls, most people use them only til they get access to the great balls. What was the Idea behind it, 50 Ultra balls would cost 60.000 nucks, 200 Pokeballs will only cost 20.000?
So even if you sell said Pokeballs you'll get 10.000 bucks, as pre-order bonus which can be helpful but it could be considered that the developers or publishers or who ever is in charge when it comes to cost reduction even tried saving money with something that wouldn't even cost them money
By the way, I'm not wanting to say that there aren't people which will really use all of them but I guess these are mostly those people that are going for completing the Pokedex (which would be the minority of the players I guess, since I can imagine that the general casual player won't bother with that).
Then this may be a subjective impression due to personal experience - I barely knew anyone at school or elsewhere who tried to complete the pokedex, I've only heard about people doing that in the internet so I considered it unusual. When it comes to pokeball types I usually use dusk balls, quick balls and rarely timer balls - ultra balls are just an addition since they're available at any shop once unlocked but less cost effective. But yeah, apparently I just grew up with rather lazy players, so - my bad
I suppose it could also be an age thing- I don't know about you, but when I was a kid first playing Pokemon, there was only 150 of them. XD And up through Gen 4, at least, it wasn't too overwhelming to keep trying to catch them all.Then this may be a subjective impression due to personal experience - I barely knew anyone at school or elsewhere who tried to complete the pokedex, I've only heard about people doing that in the internet so I considered it unusual.

Yeah, there were already the hoenn games relevant when I was at school (born 1998) and even though I played pokemon at that time I only played yellow and blue because I got my gbc when I was 7 and at that point no one cared much. Also I never had friends that played the games (I was never the friend guy anyway) so I was unable to complete the pokedex due to lack of friends that played the other edition or alternatively due to me not having all the games/enough hardware.
I only did that when I had the first play through in a region I did not know before, and I stopped that after Gen 4 for some reason
I do like the the thought of having every pokemon catched in a Pokeballs simply because it's one of my favorite designs (the other one is the dusk ball).
The same is true in Japanese, actually.

You get them by pre-ordering e-shop version but I've also seen them listed elsewhere.
