Talk:Released Pokémon

In the games

Should it be added that if Pokémon have a lot of affection to the trainer, it will refuse to leave.--Midnight Blue 00:01, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Probably. You also can't release a Pokémon if it's the only one on your game that knows an HM move (for example, the only Pokémon in your game that knows Surf) to prevent you from getting stranded in a place like Mossdeep City ZestyCactus 00:10, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

What about Gen I and II games? Does it apply there? ^ht14 02:32, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

I only saw it in Gen II, I have not seen it in Gen IV, or I and II.--Midnight Blue 02:33, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Encountering released Pokémon

I've heard people talk about released Pokémon coming back - are these just rumors or can it really happen ? --WenGobou 13:29, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, forgot to mention: they said they encountered them in random encounters. Sounded a bit silly on its own. >.> --WenGobou 15:53, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Some Pokémon refuse to leave. You can't find released Pokémon in the wild. —darklordtrom 08:30, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

I believe that there is something on one of the cheating devices which allows released Pokémon to appear in the wild. However, this won't be added to the article. And some Pokémon refuse to leave due to HMs that they know. --SnorlaxMonster 08:53, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Legendary

Do legendaries come back if you release them? Frenchhorn 21:33, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

In the games? yes they can go like any other Pokémon. AquaMaster 22:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Once you release a Pokémon, it's gone for good. Legendaries included. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 22:17, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
