Mandatory base pokemon in 1st hand

After several days of testing, we (New Zealanders and transplants🫡) realized that the game automatically gives us a basic pokémon in our starting hand !

By abusing this “hidden rule”, it's possible to have the pokémon we want right from the start, if we put just one basic pokémon in our deck.

Of course this affects the deckbuilding and the balance of the entire game.
Is this voluntary? Or are you planning to remove this rule to make it like the classic TCG and grant an extra draw to the opponent for each hand without a basic pokémon?
