...but WHY is this stuff not in the actual game?!

Relegating this kind of deep and interesting lore to Pokemon cards that are not available in the game itself kills immersion.

I certainly wish most of it made it into the game in some form, but some aren't very easily placed in game, for example, Thorn is just too long to be read by dinklebot (http://astrumterra.com/files/Ghost_Fragment_Thorn.mp3). Perhaps they could be accessed via a terminal in the tower & you would get exp/rank/rep for listening/reading them. I think this awesomeness is missed by way too many people.
