There's an in-universe explanation for the limited number of different Pokémon in the story - how often in the games will you see an area that has more than a dozen or so different types of Pokémon running about? Ryme City having around 60 different types is actually fairly population dense. And since there are few Pokémon trainers in the city, most people will only have one or two Pokémon that they partnered with locally (compared to the dozens or even hundreds from all over the world a traveling trainer may have caught and have access to via the PC system). It actually makes sense for only about 60 of the over 800 Pokémon to feature in the film, even as background characters. In the games, it takes exploring the whole region to get close to a completed Pokedex, and most times when you get as far as the first 2 or 3 towns/locations, you'll only be around 60 or less. Between Leaventown (Tim's hometown), Ryme City, and PCL, it's entirely plausible most of the Pokémon seen are actually common in those areas.
