Here's why:
* Generation I Game Exclusives: Many Pokémon were exclusive to specific games in the first generation (Red, Blue, and Yellow).
* No Trading: LeafGreen lacks the ability to trade Pokémon with other games, making it impossible to get Pinsir from another source.
If you want a Pinsir, you'll need to play Pokémon Red or Blue or use a trading system outside of the game.
