>All Pokémon possess the ability to shrink>When weakened, Pokémon faint and shrink so much they are pretty much gone. That's why trainers don't catch fainted Pokémon>An object being held by a Pokémon shrinks with it>In the past said ability was exploited with the first rudimentary bonguri balls to safely store your companions>Pokémon stored in old Pokéballs are just resting there in the darkness>However they seem to be imperfect, since Pokémon are usually released from confinement and stored in a pen>When released by their trainers they recover their normal size>The modern Pokéball also exploits this ability, but at the same time solves the issue of storage by digitalizing the Pokémon>Digital Pokémon enjoy their time inside some kind of alt-reality like the Poképelago
