@LuckyBlackCat@Iatos Also, something else to keep in mind. Kero couldn't use the others' Pokemon for his own purposes even if he wanted to. Because they weren't released by their owners, you couldn't control them without a Snag machine. That's one of the many reasons Team Rocket's plans are pretty terrible from a logical perspective. They'd probably attack him the second he let them out of their Pokeballs.
