Starter Pokémon in the Wild

Fans, Trainers, and/or whoever knows Pokémon very well and for a long time will recognize that those who start a journey in this world are traditionally given a choice of a starter Pokémon from a triad of species (barring special circumstances and conditions). Those who are accustomed to this might become inclined to think that the Pokémon in question don't really appear in the wild. Yet, it has to be understood that like any other Pokémon, they too have to appear and be able to exist in the wild, at least if not for a few reasons.

While it's possible or likely that the Pokémon that would eventually be given to Trainers come from breeding stock (if not directly caught from the wild), most likely by expert breeders of the caliber that Brock aspires to be, that breeding stock still has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere has to be the wild. It is from there that their stock is replenished and it is to there that the excess in the stock goes, if they don't already go there themselves. Nature gives to the breeders and they give back to nature in return.

Speaking of nature, the starter Pokémon would have to abide by the laws of nature (naturally) that govern their origins - I won't say which, because they're obvious in one form for some and manifest in another form for others. Whichever way that goes, the existence of the starter Pokémon in nature is warranted and necessary, and they are surely not created "from thin air" or in a laboratory like a would-be Mewtwo. Much regardless depends on and demands their existence in the wilderness of nature.

The starter Pokémon evidently do exist as something to be given and received, but they're just a part of nature as much as any other Pokémon. It's how they come to be and where they're ultimately taken from (and then go back to). If nothing else, it's a realization that should come sooner or later for those starting their journeys in the world of Pokémon. Within the confines of procedures, it might be something that's hard to see, at least until fans, Trainers, and others see the great world to which people and Pokémon belong.
