If you release a Pokemon can you find it again in the wild?

Question

Because I remember that someone told me that if you release your Pokemon, in the wild you can find it again. So can you?

Thanks ~ FrozenVanillite

Wrong. You can never find that exact Pokemon again. (Well, you can, but the chances of it having the exact same IV's as the one you released are about 1 in over 200,000.)

Thanks! Because I remember someone telling me that. They must have been lying. Thanks again.

Or Wrong. I used to think this as well. I confused it with that Pokeball symbol next to it's HP gauge.

Yeah I guess I shouldn't have said lying.
