What To Do With Useless Pokemon?

    I usually release the Pokemon that are completely useless to me...and honestly I've never felt bad about it.

    But now that I see people say that they feel bad for releasing Pokemon, I feel bad for never feeling bad. o:

    I usually put them into my PC and never look at them again, haha. If someone wants them, though, then I would have no problem giving it away to them. When I was younger, I used to have a lot of filler Pokémon in my PC boxes. Now, though, it's not really the same anymore. I do end up catching a few random Pokémon every now and then (just for fun), but most of the time, I catch Pokémon only if I absolutely need them. d:

  • I just leave them in the PC. Occasionally, someone will want to give away a Pokemon to me, so I just use these "useless" Pokemon to trade off to them. If I ever end up filling my PC box to the max, I'll probably just release all the extra Pokemon that I've accumulated to make space for more Pokemon.

    What do you guys do with useless Pokemon (such as Dunsparce) that clog up your PC? I know that abandoning them is a possible solution but I always feel really, really bad doing that.

    By abandoning do you mean releasing them? Because I usually release any abundance of pokemon I don't plan on keeping. I let them roam free in the wild just like they were doing before I imprisoned them in a tiny ball. And I find sentiment in that more than I do if they were collecting dust.

  • I wouldn't call the pokemon in my PC useless. I caught them for a reason, right? If I have decent doubles, I trade them to friends or via WT

  • I leave them in the PC. We (usually) have more than enough room to store all the available Pokemon and more so there's really no reason for me to release them. I collect everything no matter how useless!

  • 'Useless' isn't in my vocabulary. I don't think I've ever released a Pokemon. I don't really see the point when I have plenty of PC storage. :(

  • D^: My first XY capture was like a... Dunsparce, lol. I wonder if I deleted it or Wonder Traded it away, haha. I'm a bad person lately! My Y filled up so fast with breeding projects so I may have... released some of my captures. <.<

    I usually keep a box called "Wild" that holds some of the early Pokemon I caught during the story. I only keep them around for sentimental reasons.
