The problem is that you didn't earn the Pokemon and it feels cheap and empty.

You know what's better than catching the Pokemon you want? Catching the Pokemon you want after a bunch of events and thus earning that right at the end of it.

It's a feeling of reward that the RP is missing, which is why having someone play as the Environment I think is essential.

I agree, I usually make up scenarios to get my desired pokemon and each one will have a different way they joined the party to keep things fun and interesting :)
