>>54006278>The anime and manga both are in agreement that the balls turn Pokemon into a beam of light upon captureHeadcanon, the manga unilaterally uses a puff of smoke, usually with an action word like "BOMP", before displaying the pokémon shrunken down in the ball.
Just say next time you watched the show created by a drunken mental, who disregarded the canon lore to write her own shit up.
