You're lost. You've been travelling through this forest or cave for a while now, and you swear that you've passed that exact same rock five times now. You can't make heads or tails of your map, and your Pokémon are tired. Can't you just stop and ask for help already?

It's night out. It's too far to walk to the nearest town, and it seems unwise to keep on walking when it's so dark out. You have no choice but to camp out here for the night, but can you even make out the instructions for the tent? What about setting up a fire? How about food? And will that damn HootHoot ever shut up already?

What are even Pokémon? There's a floating rock with arms, a walking acorn with eyes, an exploding red and white ball, a bird with three heads, and if you manage to solve one of these creatures into a ball, they will suddenly become yours to keep. Just how does that make sense, and why do all the natives in this world seem to act like that's even close to normal?

You regret catching this Pokémon. Maybe it was an accident or you thought that this would be a good addition to the team, but now you're starting to doubt even having it on your team. Perhaps it's a Munchlax and it has eaten your bag yet again, or maybe a Slowpoke that droolled over your last pair of clean clothes, or even a Jigglypuff that gets angry whenever people fall asleep to its singing. Either way, you are highly complementing about releasing it to the wild...

Suddenly, there are... five of you? You've wandered into a Ditto farm unexpectedly and now there are at least five or six copies of you walking around, and ruining your reputation. Sure, each version of you has those unmistakable dot eyes of a Ditto, but no one is going to remember such a minor difference right after you slapped them on their posterior or right after you accidentally pushed them into the water. You better act fast before your entire life here is ruined!

Wild card. Want to try something else? Go for it! Have your own Pokémon battle, enter a contest, post on the network, whatever! Make full use of the environment and mechanics, just remember to keep it within the game's structure.
