 In the {{pkmn|anime}}, if the Trainer does not send out a replacement Pokémon, he or she must forfeit the match. If the Trainer makes a substitution when it is not allowed, the Trainer automatically loses the battle. This was seen in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'', when [[Iris's Emolga]] forced a switch by using {{m|Volt Switch}} during the tournament battle.
-It appears as though a Pokémon can actually refuse, or even dodge a Trainer's recall command. While this usually is a result of {{DL|Level|disobedience}}, it can sometimes be a sign that the Pokémon is concerned for its Trainer, such as in ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', or another person or Pokémon, as seen in ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]''. In some cases, a third party such as another Trainer's Pokémon or a wild Pokémon can interfere with the recall command towards a Trainer's Pokémon. This was demonstrated in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'' where a wild Beedrill that abducted [[Ash's Metapod]] managed to dodge Ash's recall command while holding Metapod; and in ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'' where [[Brock's Onix]] was constricting [[Ash's Pikachu]] and blocked out Ash's recall command. If a human is hit with the recall beam, it will temporarily stun the person, as demonstrated in ''[[AG173|All that Glitters is Not Golden]]''. In some cases, a trainer's Pokémon can even engineer the recall command on their own if they refuse to come out of the Pokéball for any reason, which is demonstrated in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', where the Pokémon belonging to Gary and various other Trainers when attempted to be summoned to deal with the Diglett refused to come out of their Pokéballs, which was later revealed to be because they did not want to contribute to an ecological disaster that would have inevitably occurred had a [[Foreman]] been allowed to finish work on a dam.

 Usually during [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s, there are rules preventing [[Gym Leader]]s from switching their Pokémon, but challengers are allowed to make substitutions if needed. It is not uncommon for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to recall their Pokémon to cure {{status|confusion}}.
