So there's a sidequest where this poor little Vulpix has to recieve emergency care because it was tortured by team skull

And you have the option of slowly caring for it till it learns to trust humans. And at the end of it the Vuplix jumps into your arms. And then the guys there are just like

"Ha yeah thats nice. But we're just going to release that Vulpix you cared for into the wild."

YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES. FUCK YOU GAMEFREAK. I WANTED THE VULPIX!
