Need Help..

[Tochukaso]

On my Emerald version, I can't seem to release a Makuhita
that I caught. FYI I don't use cheating devices. When I
attempt to release it, the screen says, "Goodbye Makuhit....
Makuhita came back, was it worried about you?"

Any Help?

It most likely was the only pokemon you had/ had in your party that knew an HM. i.e. surf, strength, rock smash...

maybe it was the only pokemon you have period that can learn an hm essential to the game's progress.

Ok, that makes sense... It was the only one that knew surf. I recently restarted my game and was playing through, I had to use for it and my box was filling up so I was going to release it. That was shortly before I caught a Sharpedo. Thanks for the help.

Mods, this can be closed.

There have been two other threads like this, one about a Wurmple, one about a Poochyena, neither knew HMs, was the Makuhita traded? Can you release traded pokemon?
