Did you return Kenya and Shuckie?
 
In HG/SS you were "loaned" two Pokemon throughout your journey: a Spearow named Kenya holding a letter which a man requested you to deliver to someone else as well as a Shuckle named Shuckie from someone in Cianwood. Did you return these Pokemon to their original trainers or keep them? Used any of them on your team?

I usually returned Kenya, but I always kept the Shuckle for obvious reasons lol... Although I could be nice and just breed it and give it back, I just never bothered to.

Centipede Chan February 5th, 2015 11:11 AM

I usually end up leaving them in the box forever until I go to Shuckie's owner to see who he is and then I return him. I usually never do the Kenya side quest (is that what it is called?) because I forgot about that one too.

Silly reward for the return of the two. Kenya is great for in game. Much better than a traded Farfetch'd.
Even the traded Shuckle is useful, though more for its wall like defenses, Toxic, and Baton Pass griefing.

I returned them. I had no use for them and decided to return the burgled Pokémon. But in the Originals I took their stuff and boxed them.

Pendraflare February 7th, 2015 5:47 AM

I don't remember taking the Shuckle many times I played through the game, to be honest. But I did return it because I didn't have much of a need for it; it's not a very good Pokémon and way too situational.

curiousnathan February 7th, 2015 6:26 AM

Nope! Shuckle is one of my favourite Pokemon so no way was I going to give it back haha.

I'm a bad person.

Sue me.

Google2.0 February 7th, 2015 7:11 AM

I only took Shuckle once and even then i didn't use it, i did use Kenya however, like Xebelleon said, it's pretty good for in game.

Bellsprout February 7th, 2015 1:59 PM

There was once a time in the originals where I took Kenya for myself as I love that bird line. I always returned Shuckie as it's not my style of battling.

magicalgirlj February 7th, 2015 9:49 PM

In HG I returned both. In SS I want to keep Shuckle this time, because fighting them in the wild with bide is pretty risky. When you complete the Kenya quest you get a HP up as thanks.

Hikamaru February 8th, 2015 4:31 AM

I did sorta keep them around for a short time, but I didn't need them so I returned both of them.

Nah February 8th, 2015 10:13 AM

Wait you were supposed to return the Shuckle to that guy eventually?!

Oh.....

The Spearow I always gave back to it's owner though.

Leonhart54 February 8th, 2015 8:41 PM

returned them!!!!! interesting post

Stormerbuzz35 February 8th, 2015 9:27 PM

I steal both and never retuen them ever. Both get dumped in pc never to be used.

giradialkia February 9th, 2015 4:36 AM

I returned Kenya, all right - in the originals you get a TM for Nightmare for giving her(/him?) and I imagine you get something close enough in HGSS, so I returned her.

Shuckle, I kept. But I made it so it's happiness was maxed, and then the guy didn't want to take it from someone it is so happy with. So really I made it mine. :P

curiousnathan February 9th, 2015 7:13 AM

Oh yeah I gave back the Spearow, because well who wants a Spearow lmao

Kip February 9th, 2015 3:00 PM

Oh man! I knew I forgot something! *runs back to SoulSilver*

Generally I box them and then forget. That must make me the worst trainer ever. :/ Though I DO remember returning them in the originals. Maybe I've gotten less idealistic as I've gotten older.

Starry Windy February 9th, 2015 11:10 PM

I returned both Kenya and Shuckie. Even though I used them for some battles a bit, I still think it's not right if I don't return them to their own trainers because I don't really own them, technically.

sonic65101 March 10th, 2015 5:24 AM

I know that if you get Shuckie's friendship to a high enough level, Mania will let you keep it. And a friend told me that if you give the Mail Kenya is holding to a different Pokemon, the guy will accept that Pokemon instead of Kenya. However, I'm not sure whether that works or not. But I usually returned Kenya while increasing Shuckie's friendship so that I could keep it.

nemesish March 10th, 2015 11:02 AM

Taking out KENYA's mail and giving it to other pokemon works.
I always do that since the first time I played Gold.

Sonata March 19th, 2015 7:36 PM

Ha. Ha. No. And that's why you don't let strangers use things that belong to you.

I did return Kenya since I think Fearow is completely useless, but I did use Shuckle because it's obviously the best pokemon in the series.

Scotash! March 20th, 2015 5:52 AM

I always took Shuckle, but only once gave him back. Spearow on the other hand I never took as I didn't know about that until the Heartgold/Soulsilver remakes.

Squirrel March 21st, 2015 11:40 AM

... you could return them?? Well I didn't know that. Looks like I have some apologies to write.

Draskk March 22nd, 2015 3:17 AM

Funny story with kenya used it as an hm slave then after I had Beaten red and done some other things and then returned her Plus I always returned the shuckle

Gligar March 28th, 2015 12:50 AM

I have a funny story. First, with Kenya. I won a giveaway. So I was getting Arceus for free. I liked all my pokemon at that time so I decided to give him Kenya. But then, I felt bad for it so I didn't give here Kenya. I left Kenya by himself in the starting six by accident, and I left to try battle the gym leader, I lost at the first attack, I was so mad I released it.

And for the Shuckie, the second I got it, I decided to release it. That was fun.
