>>39469244Exactly! You're starting to catch on.
We know the balls don't brainwash the pokemon as some do come out hostile I think outright ran away and Ash caught it. Point is a pokemon going into the ball isn't labotomized or turned into a slave.
In the anime they are friendly for narrative reason because they don't have time to show Ash taming every pokemon hes caught, that would take 10 season just cover 1 season worth of episodes
