>>55841751>already veering into headcanonWe don't know everything about this, so we have to make some reasonable assumptions.
>This is already assuming the Pokemon become data which is wrong.I specifically said I agreed they don't become data. As already said in this thread, teleportation is a thing. The Pokémon are teleported via internet to wherever the Box is, and the Pokémon are put in the deconstructed compressed mass state, but unlike in their ball, they can interact with the other Pokémon there because all the Pokémon in a Box are put in the same simulation. Read the text in OP's image. It said the two Pokémon practiced Moves in a Box, so a Box is experienced as a place.
>Pokeballs shrink Pokemon, proven by Laventon"shrink" can mean both literal shrinking and the shrinking as part of the conversion. PLA takes place in the past, so it's even more likely someone wouldn't understand the exact nuance of what's happening and simply call it shrinking because it still is just not the kind you're saying.
>old Gen 1 loreSome lore from earlier in the series has been retconned.
>>55841759This image is from the anime which I don't care about. I'm talking about the games. If Pokémon experience being inside their ball as a ball-shaped room, then how do you explain the different effects of each ball? I also said the anime showed us the Luxury Ball, which was way more fancy than that.
>Tajiri always saw them doing thisThis doesn't matter if it gets retconned.
At best, you can say a basic Poké Ball is a ball-shaped room.
>>55841776That image. I'm not surprised to see it being posted in defense of this whole literal shrinking thing. It's an old and outdated depiction of Poké Balls and doesn't even match how Poké Balls are in gen 1, which is apparent just from looking at that image.
