Yeah, what an idiotic comparison. The one thing is a game franchise, specifically designed to get you hooked on it and "collect them all" which obviously means you need to know what you are collecting. Plus the name yelling thing.
The other thing is... life. How many average 8-year olds are travelling the world to see all animals? They certainly don't have unrestricted access to the internet (hopefully) to lookup animals. There's no reward for knowing that.
Just a shitty comparialson.
Also, early 00's was, what, generation 2? 251 pokemon. Depending on what would be considered "common" for wildlife, that number could much greater.
