Why is it that you can't catch fainted pokemon? Wouldn't it be the best possible time since the pokemon is incapacitated and couldn't fight back?

They say that it's because the Pokemon scurries away.

It's just a gameplay mechanic so that it's not stupidly easy to catch them.

I always rationalise it as that a pokemon has to accept being caught

"Fainting" is a hyperbole. The Pokemon isn't actually injured or unconscious, it's just too tired to keep battling.

Whenever you "knock out" a wild Pokemon, what really happens is that it runs away so it can rest.

Wild Pokémon die when they "faint". Caught Pokémon are being kept alive by the Pokéball energy.

I agree. Pokemon want to become stronger, and getting a trainer can be the best way to do so, so it could be that the reason they are easier to catch after getting hurt is actually that they saw first-hand the trainer does a good job with the pokemon under their care, rather than being by force. They can't accept to be caught if they are unconcious.

So it had to be consensual?

Why is it a cop out? This game is super gamey, nothing realistic about it at all. Why does that trigger you rather than monsters civilly taking turns hitting each other and almost never making any effort to avoid attacks, instantly obeying trainers who catch them, and not fucking dying when hit by goddamn meteors thrown by monsters 99 levels higher than them?

If they can just run a while while fainted, then why can't they run away when they're not?

Pokeballs work by brainwashing the Pokemon into willful servitude, and the Pokemon has to be conscious for said brainwashing to work.

Wild Pokemon shrink to microscopic levels when they faint. Duh. Don't you pay attention?
