'''Caught Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''つかまえたポケモン''' ''Caught Pokémon'', mostly referred to as '''{{tt|GET|ゲット}}したポケモン''' ''Got Pokémon'' by anime characters, using the English word ''get'') are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have been put in the control of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] by the use of a [[Poké Ball]], or by [[Traded Pokémon|trading]] with another Trainer. The catching process typically involves a {{pkmn|battle}} in which the Pokémon is at first weakened and/or affected with a [[status condition]], at which point the Trainer throws a Poké Ball (or upgraded [[Poké Ball#Types of Poké Ball|version]]) at said Pokémon in order to catch it. Catching Pokémon is central to all canons in the Pokémon franchise; a caught Pokémon can be used in battling and for quests to aid Trainers, whereas Pokémon in the wild cannot, except in some episodes in the anime. Pokémon that are caught, however, do not need to obey their masters; if a Pokémon is traded and the Trainer does not have the [[Badge]] required, it may disobey and refuse to attack during battles. [[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|left|240px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]] According to the anime, even with many Badges or being [[Ash's Pikachu|under original ownership]], [[Ash's Charizard|many Pokémon]] still may refuse to battle until trust is gained between the Trainer and Pokémon.
