The calculation you did doesn't factor in the value of the Pokemon. In order to maximize profits, one must catch Pokemon as fast as they can. As the value of the Pokemon that are being caught increases, the time that is spent trying to catch them becomes worth more. Certain rare Pokemon like Eevee, Bulbasaur, Charmander, etc go for 10-20k on the GTL with bad IVs, at the time of this post. Say that they are going for 20k for example. If I can catch them in one throw with an ultraball but two with a pokeball, I'm going to be making more money per hour by using ultra balls. And to put it simply mathematically, assuming catching a Pokemon worth 20k is 1x as fast with a pokeball, and 2x as fast with an ultraball (which I have observed is the case with Bulbasaur). If I use a pokeball I'll get (20,000-400)x1=19,600 units of money per unit of time, while if I use an ultraball I'll get (20,000-1,200)x2=37,600 units of money per unit of time. This example clearly proves that the ultraball, in certain cases, can yield more money per unit of time/hour than the pokeball when catching Pokemon. This is assuming that it takes 2 pokeballs per catch on average and one ultraball per catch on average, respectively. It also assumes that the unit of time=1, and that the value of the Pokemon is 20,000 units of money.

It honestly isn't worth trying to catch them if I can't keep them for long and personally isn't a whole lot of fun. It would be nice to be able to own them. I'm not suggesting that it should change yet, I just wanted to know people's opinion on what the point of it is and why the developers made it this way. The following are arguments I've heard and my counter argument to them: 1. If everyone owned a legendary, they wouldn't be legendary. Me: Being rare and difficult to catch along with their outstanding stats makes them Legendary. 2. They would be overpowered in pvp. Me: They can be banned from pvp if they're too powerful or to the uber tier. 3. They wouldn't be necessary for the storyline and pvp and therefore wouldn't serve a purpose. Me: Shiny Magikarp isn't useful for either, yet worth around 7m. And although not necessary to beat the storyline, they would be powerful and able to aid in such an endeavor. Will list more if they are mentioned in this thread.
