Apricorn balls would exist in Johto, but likely not as affordable as modern times, most people would carry few Pokemon with them.

I have no idea how you can hammer a bunch of fruits and turn it into a high tech device that turns monsters into data.

But that's different, in Johto games those are extra balls.
Pretty sure if those were the main balls people would produce them a lot and sell like any other item.

It forces the pokemon to use Minimize, even if it does not know the move.

You don't get hungry or shit in a vidya.
There's no bathrooms in the pokemon world.

On Johto only one man still made them, so they weren't widespread, probably few people knew how to handle, to not mention that Apricorns only exist on Johto.

Most regions probably relied on carrying and riding their Pokemon along rather than using a pokeball.

So? Can't someone in Kurt's family produce them and sell it?
But maybe you have a point with people not using poke balls at all.

What I said is that they can, there were likely other people besides Kurt's family too, but they were likely rare and valuable items that only high tier people were able to afford.

Like a full plate on middle ages or a katana on feudal Japan.

What's a journal?
>no mass produced pokeballs, potions, revives, etc
You'll need a chansey or a nurse with one to accompany you
>no TMs or HMs
For the most part they aren't needed. Yet you will eventually be restricted from certain areas. Since some trainers have the strength and skill to use HMs themselves.
>if organized gym/league system exists, it's orders of magnitude more dangerous than today
That was the entire point.
You had 1 pokemon back for sure. Getting others to follow you isn't meant to be easy subjugation like it is now thanks to the pokeball.
