First off, sorry for the long post. I didn't know how to put it briefly.
But on to the topic now...
Something I don't quite understand is whether the more recent games allow players to capture Pokemon from other regions than the one you play in. Or, in other terms, whether all Pokemon appear in them or not - with the obvious exceptions that I have detailed (hopefully) clearly in the Spoilers.
Will I be able to find them in the wild in any game? Or will they be only available through trading them from previous games/Generations?
Another example: the (Ultra) Sun & Moon games, from Gen VII. The regional Pokedex of Alola doesn't have many of the species from previous generations. Honestly I know little about those games but it doesn't seem we are visiting places where those missing species can be found. So I'm assuming those have become "trade-only" exclusives.
Am I correct about that? Is the same valid for other Pokemon games (and which, in that case)?
The reason I'm asking is that, at least from my past experience, older games such as Gold/Silver/Crystal offered a mixed pool of Pokemon to choose from, a thing that was retained to a certain extent in their remakes as well (although I have limited experience with them so I don't know too well).
Honestly, having a limited pool of Pokemon to choose from is bit of a letdown, although I could understand how difficult would it be to implement all 700-800 of them in a single game. It would have to be one hell of a massive game to play, requiring an insane amount of hours just to travel to all those places even just to see them all. But one can still hope that day would come, right?

Let me explain a bit what is the meaning of this question.
By "allowing players to capture Pokemon from other regions than the one you play in" or "whether all Pokemon appear in them or not" I am talking about those Pokemon who can be seen and caught by normal means. More specifically:
1) the Pokemon is not obtained through Action Replay/Gameshark codes.
It kinda defeats the purpose of my question when the answer is just popping a code into my game. I'm not 100% against that, but that is way out of the topic right now.
2) the Pokemon is not obtained via trading or online storing services such as the Pokemon Bank unless it's the only way to do so.
It is pretty obvious, indeed, that starter Pokemon have to be obtained by trading (e.g. I'm picking a Snivy as my starter, so I will need somebody else to drop a Tepig and an Oshawott in my box sometime later). The same goes for Pokemon who are only obtained through special events.
3) I am temporarily ignoring version exclusiveness.
I know some Pokemon are exclusive to a version whereas the other one will not have them. But I am considering both versions of the various Generations as one, at least for the sake of my question.
So that leaves the Pokemon that you can see in the wild and attempt to capture, even just once (which includes many Legendaries).
Example: a simple Geodude. Or a Caterpie. Or a Gligar. And, regarding Pokemon that are only found once, let's say... a Suicune!
