>>35122913If a trainer throws the Pokeball to release, then it shall be bounced back thanks to simple physics: the force and momentum of the pokemon being released and turned from energy/data is more than enough to counteract the throwing force and so it sends the ball on the very arc it came. Of course, it's recommended to just release them by pointing lest the ball goes flying and you can't find it.
A point to releasing by the hand method: one can actually put pokemon in areas abnormal with good enough aim, since the release beam has a pretty long limit of 500 meters. Useful for situations, like if one were stuck or lost.
Or killing pokemon you don't like for villains and such. A pragmatic method is to steal a trainer's pokeball and then release them over open air, preferably off a tall building, by abusing the beam limit. Sometimes, safety can cause death.Returning is simply point and shoot, as long as there's a line of sight. The beam does have a limit of 1km but it's rare to every use it that far.
Additionally, every ball has a DNA match system as a function of ID, along with an actual ID number, so trainers can't just return pokemon that aren't theirs. If the target pokemon does not match the ID, then it is simply ignored by the beam as if they were an inanimate object. Use it on a human and it'll give them a shock but nothing horrible- this is actually a mechanism by the ball used to capture pokemon and for humans, all it is, is just a shock.
All pokemon have a specific piece of DNA that is used and abused by humans in the use of pokeballs. In using electricity, it is actually marking down the DNA to check if it's a pokemon.A little tidbit is that pokemon can actually cancel the recall, not only by just simply moving, but by kicking up enough dust- it is after all, just a laser and with enough particles, can be blocked. Pokemon with high intellect usually figure this out within weeks and abuse it time to time.
