>the reason you can't catch a pokemon once it's fainted is because by then they've shrunk down to such a microscopic state you can't find them

Why don't they shrink to escape then?

Because the anime isn't cannon. There when an egg hatches it morphs into the first stage mon, same way they show evolution

i wasn't onboard the shrinking thing at first, but so much stuff makes sense at this point I'm a true believer. the ridiculous thing is that i didn't realize it until now.

Yeah I noticed this the other day too, that's why pokemon literally turn small and disappear when you beat them and why they appear "out of nowhere" in the grass, they just hide

>Every pokémon has the innate ability to change size, they just usually can't control it
>Learning Minimize is merely learning how to consciously trigger this power at will
>Otherwise it's an instinctive defense mechanism to avoid danger when they faint
>Galar energy has the opposite effect, triggering a size increase
>Pokéballs are designed to artificially trigger this mechanism to catch the mons
>That's why they work better when you have damaged the pokémon, as it's nervous system is now closer to triggering the shrinking point
>you can not catch it once fainted because once it shrinks you lose accuracy
>Pokémon with more difficult catch ratios simply have a better control over themselves, they can prevent the shrinking trigger of the pokéball for longer
>when you fail to catch a mon, you can't recover that pokéball, it breaks because the pokémon literally grows back from inside.

It's not fair bros. It all makes perfect sense.

They mentioned it in a 1996 companion book to the Japanese release of Red and Green versions.
It's your fault for not knowing the Japanese language and tracking down a copy of said book on your own dime.

How Pokémon could shrink willingly into the Poké Ball prior modern technology if the shrinking happens when they faint? A captured Pokémon with an old type of Poké Ball would be able to escape, growing back to its original size at the moment when it's not fainted anymore

No, the reason you can't catch them is because they ran away. The shrinking shit is stupid and doesn't happen anywhere but the games.

Fainted = too tired to battle. It's been shown numerous times that Pokemon are able to get back on their feet quickly after fainting. If the Pokemon isn't recalled to its Poke Ball/caught, it just gets up and rests for a bit to recover its energy.

Extremely. RThey were so on the limit,, they had to wait till debugging tools were removed, before putting Mew in and absolutely filling the cart filesize completely. The script was the leanest it could be, to make sure it all fit in the cart as was.

We've been talking about it on and off over the last 11 years, it's more your fault for being so newfag, you weren't even here last sept/oct when we last talked about the encyclopedia.

Then why do wild Pokemon collapse and shrink when you beat them?

They don't, that's just a video game thing. Tons of video games do things like that when you defeat an enemy.

Beamtards aren't that bright anon. If the tv show didn't tell them what happens, they can't figure out how it works.
