It was a technical reason when it started. The SRAM chip can only hold so much complicated data at once. But now no. Besides you can deal with this with 3rd party hardware, by backing up your save file. I've done this before on past games. Or just transfer your pokemon between series. Even if you don't buy every version. You usually will buy one remake and or 3rd game. Or now Pokemon box. I've had all my pokemon from R/S/E etc. transfered all the way up to X/Y. If I wanted to restart. I used Emearld, Col, GC Box as storage when I wanted to reset.
