Just tried this, but I was denied my balls. Guess I shouldn't have evolved my starter since then it would look like I have already caught another Pokemon.
Wow, me and my friends actually found this, when we were first starting, we thought that that battle with gary actually meant something. I had no idea that nobody else knew.
It's possible that the programming (or maybe translation?) team put it in and missed it, or forgot about it and never fixed it.
Given how it's never really referenced in the game anywhere and the specific conditions that have to be met to get this, it's entirely possible that test players never noticed it (probably because they never tried it.)
