Wild pokemon actually are jealous of Domesticated pokemon it's part of why they attack in the first place.
Also in DPP thee friendship checker mentions wild pokemon et jealous of domesticated pokemon due all the new experience they are able to have with a trainer.
It's actually really traumatic for most pokemon to be ripped away from their trainers who become their foster parent in a way as well as the pokemons friend. Being ripped away from warmth and constant food which pokemon are shown to prefer. Some pokemon who live in the water are able to exist on land thanks to pokeballs and would have a completely new part of their world stolen from them by being put back in water.
Pokemon and people are shown as partners with pokemon being even more domesticated then some dog breeds.
What they were doing was cruel at best for both the people and pokemon involved.
