Caught Pokémon: Difference between revisions
FYI to all: capture and catch ARE used synonymously. The only context where we really need to worry about which is used is if there's a reasonable chance of confusion (i.e., if Rangers are in the mix)

The terms "catch" and "capture" are often used interchangably in the games and in the anime. In the context of [[Pokémon Ranger (Ranger series)|Pokémon Ranger]]s, however, [[Capture Styler|capture]] also has a separate meaning, referring to the technique a Pokémon Ranger uses to gain a Pokémon's assistance by befriending it, without controlling it as its Trainer. | |||
