He should just throw it really fucking hard on a rock to break it. Apparently that'll force whatever was inside to come out.

Then it should be very easy to break because those are soft metals.

Wrong. He obviously has to forge and smelt the Pokeball after carefully combining the Apricorns

Does the canon explain how monster can go inside fruits? Is there some kind of sound theory out there?

One of Kurt's lines in the games says they would hollow out the apricorn and then insert the pokeball mechanism inside.
Why the mechanism was readily available while the capsule itself (which would be trivial next to that nearly magic tech) was not, I have no idea.

this is more a consequence of the shitty anime hyper-teching up pokeballs when ultimately they're just meant to be spherical containers,(hence why gen 2 still uses the classic two halves look) and not some hinged metal shit with mirrors and machinery inside

Takeshi Shudo's novel states that it's an ability of Pokemon themselves and that it has nothing to do with the Poke Balls themselves; any small object will work

>According to Takeshi Shudo's novel, Pocket Monsters The Animation, being able to be stored in small objects like Poke Balls is a property of Pokemon themselves, not technology (other small objects like a glasses case can also hold them)
>"According to the existing documents, it wasn't until the year 1925 that it was discovered that Pokémon could be stored in small objects like Poké Balls or capsules, this groundbreaking discovery was made entirely by accident by the Japanese Professor Westwood. (While examining the energy of the Pokémon species Primeape's rage, he accidentally weakened it with a drug overdose, leading it to somehow get captured inside the case for the Professor's reading glasses, forgetting its anger entirely and falling asleep peacefully. ... This is a well known event among Pokémon researchers."

The games imply something similar by stating Poke Balls are designed to take advantage of Pokemon's natural instincts and be comfortable for them to discourage them from resisting capture

Makes sense but the Pokeballs still are designed to work better at capturing Pokemon than other objects.

I wonder if the Pokemon store their trainers information or the Pokeballs.. or both

Both would make sense due to trading machines having to exist and Pokemon being uncatchable after already having been caught

No, it isn't, that's in the games too

Once a Pokemon has been caught in a Poke Ball, no other Poke Ball will work on it

Actually it's not. It doesn't matter if it's a 5 year old little girl, a 90 something granny, or a evil team leader bent on taking over the world if you try to toss a ball at their pokemon they will instantly block it and say "Don't be a thief." More or less confirming that it's possible to steal someone's pokemon just by chucking a ball at it.
Sadly the Orre games actually went out of the way to confirm the Anime's explanation, but since gamefreak doesn't consider then canon...

i think there's a little more going on with the Snag Machines than just stealing pokemon.

call it just laziness with regards to dialogue, but people who don't know what the Snag Machine is don't even seem to understand that you're taking their pokemon at all, almost like they're entranced by it. there's a man in XD who expresses some confusion after the fact and mentions flashing lights.

That's retarded as fuck. Having technology that turns monsters into data and stored digitally makes so much more sense.

That would set a precedent for human teleportation which we still can't achieve. Therefore it makes more sense for that technology to only work with Pokemon due to their unique construct.

those are two completely unrelated things, though. storing pokemon digitally is part of a larger computer system (the PC network), not the pokeball. pokeballs being fucking computers is retarded.

to a point i think this is why the pokemon anime opted to have things stored via pc have a physical presence, rather than kept in a fragile computer storage form.

i will say that oak's lab being turned into a zoo is fucking moronic, though. they should be kept in their balls.

Pokemon aren't turned into data, the Poke Balls just shrink them down to a size small enough to fit into the capsule; when they're released from the Poke Ball, they grow back to their original size.

Wait, so when they're full aware and healthy, why do they allow themselves to get caught even if temporarily? I know at times Pokemon will strike the ball back but others when they're not paying attention will shrink. What causes the shrinkage to take place in the first place if it's not the Pokeball? Is it the act of being struck?

The FP is interesting because it's a in-universe virtual reality/Matrix of sort. You can choose an avatar, greeting, interact with NPCs and meet other logged in players. I take it as the Pokemon version of SAO.
