>>49422454>Because they do. That's how the drugs work.So then Pokeballs are drugs?
>There was that whole thread filled with pokemon in danger yet not shrinking. If pokemon shrink under peril such a thing would be shown or brought up more.So all you have is absence of evidence, mostly from a secondary source (I won't argue that the anime doesn't really seem to do the shrinking thing, but the anime has done a lot of stuff that the games don't do, again this is why I never bring up Adventures as evidence for the shrinking thing). How many of those examples would have ended with the Pokemon shrinking if it went on longer? Who knows. What are the exact details of what causes it? I don't know, but we have decent evidence for it.
>Poor evidence.So a quote from the most recent game, a quote from the official guidebook, a quote from a character in a game, and the animations from the most recent game are poor evidence? And yet, your evidence, which is secondary material at best, is somehow better?
>There are also animations throughout the series that do not show the pokemon shrinking when coming back in the ball, but rather turning into a kind of energy. This is also shown in the anime.Fair, but again I wouldn't bring up the anime when talking about the games (or the games when talking about the anime honestly).
>Yes but before legends, my whole point is that legends is not following what used to be the case but rather inventing something itself.Legends is literally referencing several sources, it didn't invent the concept.
>It just mentions a pokemon curling up, if it wanted to mention shrinking, it would.Okay, then how does the Pokeball take advantage of the curling up if it involves no shrinkage? Furthermore, here's a text dump in Japanese if you want to be sure of the phrasing.
>>49422457 I know it came after your post, so if you're already on it then sorry.
>CHARACTER LIMITSo we agree that Pokeballs take advantage of the Pokemon's natural ability to curl up.
