Yeah, in Japan the catch 'em all logo doesn't even exist. That's why people were confused why Ash wasn't capturing every pokemon he saw or completing the Pokedex, because in the anime the writers never intended to do that. Also helps that the anime treats the Pokemon as real creatures with personalities and not game data like the games, so giving a main character a whole bunch of pokemon they'll never use is pointless.
