Yeah. But then again, they do kind of have a deep connection to nature to begin with, don't they? At least some of them. Like the Ecruteak Beast legend. I mean that more or less flat out tells us that those three are par of nature itself.

But I'm sure it doesn't help that people like Team Rocket are always trying to get their hands on them either. I would be surprised if they are the only ones, especially if the Pokémon have been around for years like the legends say.
