You European players are so funny.............

First off you cannot capture 450 pokemon in the wild. The are 150 plus put the rest you have to transfer from your GBA games and recapture in the Pal Park, and even then you aren't really catching them because they give you special balls that automatically captures the pokemon you run into there.

So what the game only has 8 badges, almost all of the other games as well as the show that the games is modeled after. I think the online and side quests more than makes up for having 8 badges...............and the only reason that the other game that had 16 badges had so many is because there were 2 regions to explore instead of just one. I believe it was both Kanto and Johto, Diamond and Pearl is only Sinnoh.

That's not true, the other pokemon are not all caught through transfers and pal park.  After you beat the game new areas open up where the old pokemon appear.  In fact every pokemon ever to appear in the series except legendaries and starters can be caught in game.
