It does seem to be the case...I fear they are probably often used to breed rare Pokemon for profit as much as anything else.

[He doesn't like to make an accusation against breeding as a profession or anything, but that does seem to be the way of it. Ditto are...useful for breeders, as powerful Pokemon are useful for trainers.

He does not always care for the way things work here.]

Thank you. That is very kind of you to say.
