I wonder how can someone think the DLC should not count when it should clearly be part of the $60/70 game, they are not working on extra content for the game after it was released.

The first day DLC content is mostly cosmetic (literally costumes for Pokémon), like most first day DLC. It's not like story content is being held behind a paywall. The story content is not complete and doesn't come out until as late as February, depending on when it is finished. Although I guess they could have easily just charged $5 for the cosmetic content and then $25 for the story DLC when it comes out and it wouldn't look as bad. That's what most companies do. 

Again, we are talking about a franchise where Nintendo used to sell two copies of what were essentially the same game and a third copy that also was very similar for two decades (Red, Green/Blue, Yellow; Gold, Silver, Crystal; Ruby, Sapphire, Emarald; Diamond, Pearl, Platinum; etc.) This is relatively cheaper compared to that, for the completionists. 

Cosmetics are not an unimportant part of the game. People say that it doesn't affect gameplay, but one of the ways I enjoy playing a game is changing how my character looks. So for me it does affect gameplay and needs to be included in the regular price. 

You could easily trade to complete a Poke'Dex—no need to buy both versions.
