They also had a hard time making them win in certain situations, it's not like catching wild Pokemon is illegal, from time to time they might catch Pokemon with dubious methods or luck and have them returned as assists or reinforcements, this would make the comeback more memorable of certain Pokemon, like James' Gyarados. (Picrel is just a Rocket's Gyarados)
