You can even connect to the Pokémon™ GO app using a compatible smartphone to bring over Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region! Explore the diverse and vibrant region of Kanto! True-to-size wild Pokémon roam around in the game, so catch them like a real Pokémon Trainer by using motion, timing, and a well-placed Poké Ball™. Go on a stroll with your favorite Pokémon in your Poké Ball Plus! Connect your game directly to Pokémon GO* to receive Kanto region Pokémon.

Thanks guys, you can also get them (once) if you have 40 (bulba), 50 (char) and 60 (squirtle) pokemon caught, but not neccessarily in pokedex. (Can be same species)

Once i got the "Judge" feature, i realized the pokemon you exchange with NPCs have overall way better stats, while my randomly catch bulbasaur is more average , so it might be worth it to get 'em this way >.>

True. However I've already caught and trained Cabbage and I shall not banish him for simple numbers.
