The MECHANICS are different, but like L: A, you can throw balls at targets without battling them, like the core games you can trad battle and wear them out to low heath and catch them and for L: Z-A only (so far), you get a grace catch chance if you KO the target, likely due to the real-time battle system. The games sought different experiences, one built around writing the Region's first list of pokémon found in the place, the other based around a battle tournament to find strong ME users due to the old, long-lived Giant's actions in the past.
