Hey! Wait! Don’t go out! It’s unsafe! Wild Pokemon live in tall grass! You need your own Pokemon for your protection. I know! Here, take this idiot tourist carrying a stuffed Pikachu doll and wearing a Pikachu hat. How’s he going to help you? Oh, he won’t. But take him anyway, we don’t want him anymore. He tried to jump the White House fence but wound up getting arrested by Secret Service agents. In all honesty he’s pretty useless; we’re just trying to make room for this Charmander.

If you’re curious as to how it all went down, Fox News has a timeline:
