Wild Pokémon: Difference between revisions

Wild Pokémon have been seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]] since the start of the {{pkmn|manga}}, though prior to the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, they mostly served the role of being {{pkmn2|caught}} by one of the [[Pokédex holder]]s or the antagonists, especially with {{adv|Crystal}}, whom {{adv|Professor Oak}} tasked with completing the [[Pokédex]]. In later chapters, wild Pokémon have become more common. In some cases, the possibility of controlling wild Pokémon without catching them has been demonstrated, such as with the {{TP|Brandon|Legendary giants}} being controlled by {{Steven}} and the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]] during the climax of the ''Ruby & Sapphire'' chapter, or [[Colress]] controlling a wild {{TP|Blake|Genesect}} in the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}} due to [[Team Plasma]]'s inability to place it inside a [[Poké Ball]]. Examples of Pokémon that have appeared in the wild outside the rounds they were caught in include {{adv|Mewtwo}}, the Legendary giants, and [[Rayler|Pearl's Luxray]].
