Yup. According to Pokemon Legend Arceus, Pokemons don't turn into energy but they shrink themselves so small that they fit inside the ball. It was said by Professor Laventon, who speculated that Pokemon themselves posesses this odd power and people only use it to catch them with pokeballs. FunFact: The era of PLA may dated back to the late half of the 19th century (judged by the Victorian architecture and the "Weezing chimney"), but not more than 300 years from the present (based on what the ghost girl says about the first sealing of Spiritomb).
Lillie: “Oh mighty Arceus what timeline am I on? What have I done? I knew that I shouldn’t have stolen all of those other worldly item and crossing so many dimensions. Did I leave a pokeball behind… What have I open from this pandora shaped pokeball now.”
I like the theory that some regions didn't get Pokéballs until much later, and Unova lagging behind might explain why that guy remembers when they first came to the region AND why the Team Plasma came about at all
10:41 Or maybe drayden didn’t have pokeballs in his time because they hadn’t gotten to unova yet Is that so far out of the realm of possibility yet that different nations advance at different rates I mean Europe and China and Russia etc was already super advanced before the US was even discovered yet so it’s not like it’s unrealistic It’s possible unova was just the last region to catch up just like US was irl How is this something no one has considered It’s not that confusing just logical
The time period or Arceus is more recent than it seems at first glance, falling into the equilant of the later half of the 1800's to the early 1900's (1870ish-1925ish). Add on that Unova is in the equilant of New York to Sinnohs Hokkaido and it makes some sense that Drayden didn't see pokeballs untill he was a boy
So you mentioned that the PokéBall shrinks down Pokémon to allow them to fit inside, but what I think is even weirder is that PokéBalls can then shrink down themselves, including the Pokémon inside a second time, to allow it to be stored on a belt around the trainer’s waste.
The 1st pokéball was show in an episode of the Pokémon anime. In the episode, ash meets a time traveler. The time traveler shows how Pokéballs used to be. You would have had to twist the top and open it. It literally looked like a grenade. They had no colour
Okay so I actually had a theory pertaining to the Voltorb line based around the information of the pokeball. Now go remember that Kantonian Voltorb is a pure electric type. And his Hisuian Voltorb is a Grass/electric. So basically by theory is that after the invention of the pokeball voltorbit turned into this form. But it started out as a pure grass and looked like apricorns.
I assume then the Poké Ball from the Celebi movie was one of the first kinds of Poké Balls that was produced. There are still some weirdnesses, like the giant Jigglypuff and Gengar that were locked in something resembling a Poké Ball. Maybe Poké Balls were a lost invention that was rediscovered? Or maybe Game Freak just throws all the shit at the wall and keeps what sticks.
Okay, but what if Drayden actually come from ancient time, in exchange the past taking Ingo, that's why Ingo on Hisui, or what if Arceus try to take back Drayden, by ordering Dialga to do so, but because Ingo looks similiar, especially with Emmet, Dialga thought that's Drayden and thought Emmet is his Descendant, so instead of taking back Drayden Dialga accidentally taking Ingo instead
You forgot 1960s ball, from pokemon 4ever when you meet past professor oak and he sends out his charmeleon with a ball that has a twist spinner type thing at the top. It just automatically opens.
Does anyone remember the Old Ball from the Celebi movie? The one that has to be twisted open to release Pokémon. And it can't be thrown to release. I thought that was what original ones looked like. Lol!
*Lillie holds a beastball* Beast Ball are able to guarantee capture of any Ultra Beast by perfectly alluring them with an energy and replicating their natural environment. Also Ms. Wicke, who works in the secret labs, and she said a single ball costs millions! But that’s one timeline.
Just a little bit of extra information… In S21-E39 of the anime “Dummy, you shrunk the kids” Faba makes a revolutionary machine that allows you to see a little bit of the tech in a pokéball. The shrinking effect is lightly based on the move “Minimize” which increases evasion by shrinking the user down, the machine then pulls the target into the ball and regrows it after it is thrown with the button pressed. Faba’s machine is much larger and has reusable capsules, but expands the target range from Pokémon to inanimate objects and even humans.
The Accepted version of pokeballs that I have seen is that it abuses the Evolution mechanic. When pokemon evolve they temporarily turn into an energy being, then reform in their new form. The pokeball bombards the pokemon with energy similar to that which makes them evolve, then captures them. They exist in a kind of limbo until released. Time inside the ball still passes, however cause of the state they are in, they cannot really think or perceive time or age. This also fits with the multiple cases in the anime where pokemon have repeatedly been shown as remaining inside the pokeball for hundreds of years without any averse effects. Within games and movies we have seen other variations of this where special crystals or stones are used to create the effect. It's implied that in earlier pokeballs, these materials are placed within the pokeball shell with the shell adding additional effects.
2:33 1 pla isnt set that long ago and I think pokeball tech took a while to spread across the world and different people came up with multiple ways to catch pokemon
I like the way the Apricorn balls look. I need to watch that Pokémon episode to see how the balls are made. I didn't know it involved using a stove and having blacksmith skills. 1:41 I think this game takes place in the Meiji Period, probably around of after 1888 since handheld cameras were a thing (although I think they would be a little bigger than what was shown in the game). 2:21 Are you sure he wasn't talking about modern Poké Balls? That would make sense. If modern Poké Balls were made in 1925 than what kind of Poké Ball was Young Professor Oak using in the movie? It didn't look like an Apricorn Ball. 3:12 Which Professor Westwood? There are five generations of them.
My assumption for the Pokemon shrinking ability is that Pokemon could be holding some form of energy within them and the more energy they have the larger they become and the less energy the smaller they might become. Alpha Pokemon causes Pokemon to grow larger than normal possible because of a surplus in energy given to them. Even in dynamaxing the Pokemon are temporarily infused with so much energy they become giant some might even change form from it. The amount of energy could also dictate their age which is why younger Pokemon are smaller versions of the older ones. PokeBalls could be making use of this fact by manipulating the energy to allow them to shrink into the PokeBall.
Maybe it’s time for you to catch up on every game you missed If you stopped playing the games doesn’t that mean you’re behind on the stories With legends arceus out and scarvi on the way maybe it’s time to catch up Doesn’t make sense to be behind on the pokeknowledge I think you should get caught up imo
theoretically Pokeballs use the fact that everything is energy and energy can't be destroyed. It only can be shifted. So as i mentioned everything is energy as far as i know, cern told us that. The tiniest particles are made out of nothing than energy. THEORETICALLY you could shift the pokemons energy into the ball with some kind of advanced or maybe ancient technology.
We don't know the average lifespan of people in the Pokémon world, who's to say Drayden isn't 1259 years old? I disagree that the master ball is the most famous poké ball. I think the standard red and white one is the most famous.
Technically Pokemon Red isnt the original game... it is the original INTERNACIONAL VERSION RELEASED. Pokemon Red/Blue are based on the japanese enhanced version POCKET MONSTERS BLUE VERSION since the original versions were POCKET MONSTERS RED/GREEN with some less and optimal mechanic decisions... like not able to remove moves and have much more glitches, different sprites and some other things....
The lore in the new games just doesn't make sense if you think about PC storage. If they shrink in size rather than become energy or data, then how the heck are they able to be sent to the PC, even while the trainer may have caught that pokemon in the middle of nowhere, or how can the balls shoot lasers in the anime to recall a pokemon back to their ball. Many things just don't make any sense if Pokemon are not energy or data, for example in the past I thought that the reason why an already caught pokemon, could not be caught by another trainer, was because the pokeball they had been originally caught in, marked them somehow so that other pokeballs, were prevented from being able to recatch them, until Team Snagem found a way around that with the snagballs, I also thought that the balls themselves, had some kind of a behavior modifying function, since caught pokemon become docile, while wild pokemon are mostly aggresive, and the only reason why traded pokemon may disobey their trainers, is because the ball they were originally caught in that marked them, belonged to someone else, which is why the behavior modification which could be almost considered a brainwash, does not affect them as much and you have to prove yourself, with badges or accomplishments to earn their respect. Them being data also made me think that it made perfect sense, on why pokemon could spit fire or water or whatever element they used out of nowhere, since they used up their energy for it which is why moves have PP. I think that the reason why Pokemon in these later years, are focusing on expanding on the pocket monsters origin, is because they don't want to be compared to Digimon which are digital creatures that originally come from PCs.
they become energy and then they shrink in size. Just because they can shrink by themselvse, doesnt mean they're not still energy. Pokemon are still energy, the games constantly mention how infinity energy is the lifeforce of pokemon and this lifeforce was uses to power the ultimate weapon in X &Y, pokemon were killed to power New Mauvile, and it was mentioned in ORAS that infinity energy is used in the pokeballs
I dont like the idea that pokemon can just shrink themselves. If that's something they do, why don't they do that in battle? It doesn't make any sense.
Wait how did you learn about the origins of you just said you haven’t/don’t play the games in awhile anymore I’m confused There is a lot of Pokéball lore you missed out on Since you haven’t played the games you probably don’t know what a beast ball is
Please stop saying Pokemons. It´s one Pokemon aud if there are multiple its´s stil just Pokemon and not Pokemons. It realy hurts in my ears every time someone says that. otherwise a great video and interesting topic. Would love to see a video for the rest of the Pokeballs.
It’s one thing if you said PLA was the first game you played in awhile but you didn’t specify that so I’m assuming you haven’t played it because you said you haven’t played in awhile at all anymore so how do you know about the story stuff without playing the games?
Maybe you did your research and I shouldn’t assume that everyone who stopped playing Pokémon for years is an ignorant genwunner who doesn’t know what any of the new stuff is But with not enough specificity it’s hard not to assume that With you saying you don’t play Pokémon anymore for years you never specify how you know all these things from the newer games you supposedly haven’t played If you had stated that you looked up pokeball lore on google maybe I wouldn’t be as confused

They turn into energy in order to shrink so it’s a combination
@@madnessarcade7447 Maybe. It may also be the same phenomenon as with the normal-type move Minimize.
So then why are there *human balls?*
oh so they just picked the wrong physics for their lore.. The "energy thing" would be quite interesting

I think so
It's all part of his next plan to conquer the world
I loved this video! I hope to see a video on every pokeball! That would be amazing! Keep up the amazing work! 🙌
Well we will have to see, but more content is always coming!
10:41 Or maybe drayden didn’t have pokeballs in his time because they hadn’t gotten to unova yet
Is that so far out of the realm of possibility yet that different nations advance at different rates I mean Europe and China and Russia etc was already super advanced before the US was even discovered yet so it’s not like it’s unrealistic
It’s possible unova was just the last region to catch up just like US was irl
How is this something no one has considered
It’s not that confusing just logical
Why is your time code not part of this video?

🌚
I'm going to find some Pokeballs in Lavender Town. Wish me luck, guys ☠️☠️
I don’t mind if you do more in the future! It’ll help expand everybody’s knowledge and if you want to do theories as well then it’s ok by me!
as someone who does pokemon content and loves watching pokemon videos this was a very well made video and would love more
A follow up video would be awesome I definitely wouldn't mind hearing about my favorite PokeBall (timer ball) along with the rest of them
This vid feels so natural that it's like you've always made pokemon videos
Jp from Amsterdam here, loved this video where you talk about balls ;p

In other regions pokeballs date way further back

I'm surprised you didn't talk about Pokemon Life Force since it's the Poke Balls' energy and the dark implications behind its use.

For the shrinking of the Pokemon, to me it's just the move minimize. I guess it's a move all Pokemon can learn it in theory now.
Okay, but what if Drayden actually come from ancient time, in exchange the past taking Ingo, that's why Ingo on Hisui, or what if Arceus try to take back Drayden, by ordering Dialga to do so, but because Ingo looks similiar, especially with Emmet, Dialga thought that's Drayden and thought Emmet is his Descendant, so instead of taking back Drayden Dialga accidentally taking Ingo instead

Yay non Mario video let’s goooo lol
Remember when Red was trying to catch Mewtwo, he failed to catch it a few times and the result is the pokeballs exploded
Maybe the shrinking ability pokémon supposedly have is used to access small spaces, hide from prey or sneak up on prey etc. 🤔 Just a thought.
I think what Drayden meant is that modern Pokeballs weren't around when he was a kid.
Does anyone remember the Old Ball from the Celebi movie? The one that has to be twisted open to release Pokémon. And it can't be thrown to release. I thought that was what original ones looked like. Lol!

Like something are trow at it a enegy consume the pokemon and turn the pokemon small and make the pokemon can escape beacouse their are so small
