The game is free, with doing so being the price. If you don't like that price, you can always pay $80 for a traditional Pokemon game.

As such, I don't get the handwringing. There is no such thing as a free lunch and never will be.

Is there an $80 Pokémon game where walking outside is a core mechanic and that facilitates interaction with a huge network of users?

A long time ago they had the games that came with a "Pokéwalker", which was a pedometer that acted as a sort of mini-game, but that's the closest they got to a mainstream game where you have to get off the couch. It almost meets your specification (well, did, I'm sure the internet part is offline so you're not connected anymore), but it's obviously not exactly what you meant.
