How come I can't release my Typhlosion?

Nov. 20, 2012

See, I had this Typhlosion since day one on my SoulSilver, and my brother dared me to release it. So I’m like “Challenge Accepted” and I save and release it so I can soft reset after. So when I released it, it said something like this:>Typhlosion came back!Was it worried about you?

What on PokeEarth does that even mean? Why did it happen?___As a side note if it’ll help: It’s my starter, I’ve never put it in the PC, it has max happiness, it has all the medals on Pokeathlon, a few contest ribbons, it’s EV trained with zero EVs left to distribute.

When a Pokemon has Max Happiness, it will not leave it’s trainer.

Is it your only Pokemon on the file? If so, it can’t be released.I also hear that if it is the only Pokemon you own with a certain HM learned, it cannot be released.Third, if you don’t want your typhlosion, see if you can trade it for something before releasing it. :D
