Released Pokémon are Pokémon that have been caught by a Pokémon Trainer, but are sent back into the wild.

In the anime

Throughout the Pokémon anime, a Trainer releases a Pokémon for several reasons. The Trainer may see it as weak, as Damian did with Charmander and Paul with Chimchar. The Pokémon may have to do something that requires it to leave (such as Ash and his Butterfree). Another common reason is that the Pokémon does not listen, frustrating the Trainer. To guarantee release, some Trainers destroy the Poké Ball, as seen with Jessie and her Dustox.
