as a kid this game introduced me to the idea of saving every 10 seconds and restarting a lot because the shadow pokemon are gone forever if they are defeated in the battle instead of caught. And they would often be hard to catch so I quickly learned to save all the time so I could redo any battle if I messed up on the catch without losing much progress.

[@KeroseneZanchu]

They actually aren't gone forever! They're just gone for the duration of the story - you can rebattle the trainers with them or find other trainers with the ones you missed in the post-game.
