Pokeball mysteries

[The Shogun]

Why is it that balls can catch pokemon and inanimate objects, but not people? When you think about it, the law enforcement potential is fantastic!

What other mysteries are there?

[absol2005]

How are they inside ?

[Sleepy Sheep]

Because they are not designed to catch people.

[theEND]

Well, there are way more mysteries I will list. But I won't for the thread's sake.
- Like why is there a red flash to make the Pokemon smaller then get them inside?

And basically, the Pokeball has nothing really special to it. You just have a ball that can capture Pokemon or return them inside to a metal innards.

The pokeball is kinda like an advanced, compact sort of techonology that has the ability to digitize the molecular structure of pokemon. As proven in the anime, any inanimate object or item other than a pokemon just puts the pokeball to waste.

I'm not sure this is a good theory, so if it isn't, I'll just drag Zenaku over here. Well, when capturing, the pokeball releases a one-time-chance beam that encodes the pokeball to that specific pokemon's DNA coding. After that, the pokeball's main objective is to rearrange the molecules of the pokemon into such a small compact space. The red beam to recall the pokemon is some sort of tunnel that activates the molecular distribution of the pokemon. When summoning a pokemon, you can see how the data of the pokemon jumbles up together and mixes in attempt to shape the pokemon, then glows white as some sort of finish that puts the peices together. There you go! A theory of the pokeball that probably has nothing to do with the mysteries of the pokeball.

OOOOOOOOOO...
Theories....

Fancy, great idea. I guess it makes sense, but i'm sure there is a better explination out there. Magic?

[!CeMAn]

I don't wanna know. Questioning things only leads to paranoia and conspiracy theories like aliens or god or eskimos.

[InvertrevnI]

I solved it! Eskimo Alein Gods! Solves everything!

NB, dont talk like a scientist it doesent suit you.

its like me and grammar

But i agree with what you are saying

[Zenaku]

Drag me over here if it's wrong? You say that like it's my job to come up with strange theories for stuff. =[

I've never really considered Pokemon as data, personally. With Pokemon, it's all about energy. Their attacks are energy-based, so why can't their bodies be?

Like science always says, energy can't be destroyed, only transferred. I've always assumed Pokeballs just assisted with the transfer of energy that forms a Pokemons body.

I guess I think that as it can also be related to the reason behind evolution (Pokemon gain energy, and evolve to contain the new energy; evolution isn't always to adapt to an environment after all, if ever).

Well, until Satoshi Tajiri tells us fans how his original idea of Pokeballs worked (I doubt anyone would make something like a Pokeball without thinking about how to explain how it works, after all), all we have are our own theories. Nice theory btw, NB.

[theEND]

Very Nice, NB. When I first read it, I felt like it was the real deal. But then, no.

I've always thought that too. The problem with NB's theory is that the anceint people didn't have technology in their Pokemon catching devices, and didn't know about DNA. The Ancient Pokeballs, like the one that held the Ancient Gengar, Anceint Alakazam, and Ancient Jigglypuff. It's more about containing the energy and essense of soul the Pokemon gives out. The Pokeball, whether ancient or recent, is designed to capture the Pokemons' energy/soul/spirit, whatever you want to call it, and called upon when needed by the Trainer.
At least that's how I see it.

Oh, I forgot about those ancient Pokeballs. Nice example.

I really would like to see Tajiris concept. =[

[!CeMAn]

Perhaps the ancient pokeballs were fueled by voodoo and other arcane magics, which somehow trapped and contained the pokemon's being in the ether realm. Now, these days technology rules the planet and the humans have figured out way to bind the beasts without having to pay ridiculous priestess comission every time a pokeball is crafted. Enter NB's theory.

If you ask me, Kurt, the apricorn fashioner, looked like he knew how to cast some wicked #$% in his day.
