Well, I am *again* asking the first ever pokemon universe question comanly asked by fans all over the world.

What the hell is inside a pokeball when the pokemons home?!?
 
No one knows. Perhaps it works off of the Pokémon's thoughts... maybe while inside they're in some sort of suspended animation, or in a sort of "hypersleep", and it's pretty much what they're thinking about. Good stuff. Stuff they like.
 
Man, this HAS been brought up and speculated upon so many times. XD One of the Bulbacasts discussed it at one point. Personally, I think whatever they're going through in there, the Pokemon are generally aware of what's going on outside- maybe subconsciously, or they always know, or (what I think is more likely) that they're sometimes awake, so that they know, and sometimes asleep.

But it's not really known for sure, is it?

They've said in the show plenty that they "deserve a good rest" and return them to their pokeballs, so they could be partially revived in them, too- not healing them, but make any pain or discomfort go away.
 
I remember in a 'Robot Chicken' parody Pikachu had his own little 'club', but that's just poking fun. Ash's Pikachu doesn't go inside a poke'ball. I would agree they do go into 'hyper sleep' In the manga Red explains to Yellow when they first meet that when you capture a pokemon in the poke'ball, they are shruken down to fit inside your pocket and the top part of the poke'ball is transparent so you can see the poke'mon inside.

All, so that's how they know who to call out! By golie gee atleast that was answered.

Well, one time they did show what the inside of Psyduck's poke'ball looked like. :/ It didn't look too comfy.

Maybe certain balls are more comfy than others, let's say the luxery ball.


Maybe, certain balls have different effects on the Pokemon. For example the dive ball has water in it.

What does anyone think the master ball would be like?
 
According to the Pokeball Trophy in Super Smash Brothers: Melee, when a Pokemon is put inside a Pokeball, they are put in an environment that suits them. I can't remember much else right now.
 
It's an expensive mansion and they all have butlers and top hats and speak i stereotypical posh english accents.
 
Well, I figure that if they have energy to matter conversion (how teh pokemon gets inside the ball and how they transport the balls through the computer) then they might be able to have little 3D holograms with force fields like the holodecks in startrek.

Maybe it takes what the pokemons natural or favorite environment from the pokemons subconscious and uses that.

I also think that the top of the pokeballs are like 2way mirrors so the pokemon can see out but we cant see in. Thats how they know what they do when they come out. (how else (in the anime) do they always look angry when thrown into a battle but happy and calm when released for a meal or something)!
 
I just thought of something new
the issue of gravity
you know, Pokeballs are not often upright so I was wondering, is the inside of a pokeball affected by gravity changes, or does it have it's own gravity force?

as for the question of the thread, I personally think Pokemon sleep in their balls a lot. They dont usually sleep outside their balls so they gotta do it somehwere.

imagine if a Pokemon was in the mansion relaxing and suddenly was thrown out into battle? That'd be funny.

Sorry then Rosae Ardentes ^^
I think that pokemon become more like data when they get inside their poke balls .. that's why they move easly from our hands to the computers & from abox in the computer to another ..
that's what I figured out ^^
 
@ may so matter - energy conversion technology.

Have you ever seen those little eye balls that you can roll along and the eye stays staring up in the same direction?

Its a ball inside a ball and the inner one is weighted but the outer one has a thin layer of water or oil so it rolls smoothly. (still with me?)

It could be like that, although if the pokemon world can teleport things (sabrinas gym, silph co and many more) they might have small anti gravity plates inside the pokeballs.
 
I think there's a possibility that a Pokémon could just be demolecularised inside the ball and re-formed when summoned. This would meet with a lot of anger from PETA or the EU, though.
 
Anyone here see the episode of Robot Chicken with Pikachu in his pokeball? It all makes sense to me now.
 
I don't think that's a good representation of what it's actually like for the Pokemon inside their balls, though....

While the parody is funny, I didn't like the fact that Pikachu was shown inside its Pokeball (since in the anime, Pikachu has *never* been inside its own Pokeball, other than the first episode).


I agree with the special environment thing. The theory that when a Pokemon is transported inside the Pokeball, it simulates an environment that best suits the type (and species) of Pokemon. That makes a lot of sense to me.
 
According to KidsWB, Pokéballs are empty voids where your socks go when they get lost. Yeah, I assume that a Pokémon inside a Pokéball is asleep, but knows everything going on outside its ball, which is how Pokémon can randomly pop out when they feel like it. Sort of a half-consciousness.
 
In Special and in some 4-koma comics I have, they're just shrunk down and held there. And the things around them affect them--in one comic, all the pokemon on Red's team get Confused because he drove them down a rocky road.
