Pokemon shrink to be able to fit in a pocket, it's their innate ability unrelated to Poke Ball technology

They weren't called Pocket Monsters back then, it's a recent name.

Because Pokémon shrink when they're scared/stressed bro. Oak proved it.

>if pokeballs didn't exist way back?
Pokeballs are older than recorded history, but they were very rare, only a few created by secret arts. It was not until the 18th century that human imitations began to be created, and until 1950 their industrial manufacture began.

I really like Sam Oak's Pokeball, it perfectly captures that World War II aesthetic.

>>58138974
hisui was Meiji period so 1868+

Baron Tajirin first studied Pokemon in the late 18th

It’s just because they continually fuck up their lore. You can’t have poke balls be high-tech because you need an excuse to capture things in the past, and revisiting on old nonsense idea was the best way to do it.

This is the only correct answer.
>>58139160
It has nothing to do with Pokeballs, since the inception of the franchise, Pokemon have been able to shrink, this fact was just unknown to the Western audience till PLA.
