Releasing Pokemon
Recently, I released a few pokemon of mine, and have been feeling guilty about it. Even though they are just programmed pixels! Have any of you released some pokemon before and then regretted it? Why do you release your pokemon?
The reason I release pokemon is when they aren't very cute or cool. That makes me feel even worse. I think I'd feel less guilty if it were because I had no room in my box or if I already had one of the pokemon I am going to release. |
No not really, I just keep them on the computer...
|
When I'm breeding for a particular nature/ability, I don't feel guilty at all about releasing the babies that don't have the nature I'm looking for. XD

The only Pokemon I ever release are the level 1 bred reject ones that I don't need. They're better off running around in the wild anyway rather than sitting in my PC forever. |
I never release my Pokemon.
But sure I've released some and yeah, I felt guilty afterwards. |
I sometimes release, whenever I get a hatched pokemon and it has a bad nature anyway xD
|
I recently restarted my game deleting 50+ Egg Moved Pokémon and 10+ RNGd Pokémon. Fortunately though, almost all my Pokémon are backed up on my computer as PKM files. However, I do regret starting that new game as I have a lot of Egg Move breeding to do to make up for my loss of all those Egg Moved Pokémon xD
|
When I catch a bunch of Pokemon of the same species, I release the ones whose stats aren't appealing to me.
|
I only get attached if the Pokemon is one I REALLY like. Like Gyarados or Happiny. But other than that...nope. xD
|
not that bad,I keep it and thanks for your release
|
I release them when I have no use for them. Like if they're just caught to fill the PokeDex.
I don't feel bad though o_o |
^That's true... I want to fill my pokedex, but I don't really want to keep every pokemon. Especially pokemon like Nosepass (x_x). That makes me not feel as guilty anymore.
|
I don't like releasing Pokemon. On my SoulSilver (which is Japanese, so I couldn't read what was going on) I was learning how the PC worked in the game, and I accidentally released a Zubat. Just a Zubat. So I turned off the game and have avoiding clicking that ever since. lol Luckily, I had just started playing. Had I been playing for hours, I would have gone and caught a new one.
|
I think I released one, or two Pokemon lately who were duplicates and I felt soooo sad about it, so now I leave all my duplicates in my box and um, when I migrate over Pokemon, even my HM slaves, I... migrate them over because I feel bad for them. XD;
|
I have no qualms about releasing Pokemon. I do it all the time with newly bred Pokemon who don't meet my standards of excellence. However, I haven't been releasing them lately solely on account of my laziness. Now, I find it easier to shove them in a random PC box and let them sit there xD
|
Even though they're only a blip of code, I always felt bad for releasing them. :(
|
I kind of used to feel guilty about it, but I've done it to so many little Corphishes (I had a Corphish breeding spell that resulted in swarms of the little guys) that it doesn't bother me any more. It bothers me, however, if it's a rare pokemon that I have to release in a Nuzlocke, because it's fainted :> But pokemon come from the wild, anyway, so whatever.
|
When I was 13 years old, maybe. Nowadays, I have better things to worry about than the emotions of a few pixels.
|
No because they are pixels and it isnt real life.
|
I don't really feel bad, only regret when I realize that I'd need that one later and don't feel like going through the hassle of catching it again.
|
Releasing is for the good of the Pokemon. It's better for them to be released so they can be free, mate, and live their lives rather than rot away in a PC.
On a more serious tone, I release tons of Pokemon when I'm breeding. I also grow very attached to all my Pokemon, but not in an weird way. I feel a bit sorry for my Pokemon rotting away in RSE, FR, Colosseum, and XD. Maybe one day I'll desire a Pokemon of a certain nature that they have, and they'll migrate across multiple generations? Don't get me started on restarting the actual game. |
I'd never release a Pokemon unless it's particularly useless to me. Like, for example, a spare Pikachu I caught to breed a Pichu.
|
I used to feel a little bit guilty, but then I realized it would be much kinder to return a Pokemon to it's natural habitat than to keep it stuck inside a computer for all eternity. ;)

"They Throw out the Weak." I will be honest with you, I am too lazy to even bother to release. I mean, I have 12 boxes. or 13, 14. I forgot. I only have about 2.5 filled... why release them? And I pretend like when theyre in the box its like a giant hotel. And they're all happy. But what I real felt bad was in Nintendogs when I set up a dog for adoption... I hated doing that but I wanted a different breed x.x *heartfelt* |
I don't like to release Pokemon... I fell the same as if it were a pet that I adopted, then decided to give up soon after. It makes me sad ;-;
