I know some people don't care so much, but lets talk about in the general case.
What do people think of Game Freak's decision to artifically limit which Pokemon are even playable?
Personally, while I have never gotten very far with collecting all the Pokemon in my life. This despite having some titles where I put a good 100+ hours into, it's still something that I really enjoy trying to do.
Despite not liking to cheat, I have even bought an action replay at one point so that I could get the really rare Pokemon that literally required going to an event for.
And I even got the Game Cube disks (the free Jirachi gift, Colosseum, and XD) and played through all of them, mostly to get the cool pokemon.
I think the practical reason most people are upset about the decision is that their favorite pokemon might not make it into the game. And a few of us awesome people are upset that "catch them all" isn't even possible.
Making Legendaries completely unattainable has already been a pet peeve of mine for the Pokemon series. This is obviously worse.
