Ah, that's a tricky question. Pokeballs vary wildly, depending on the type of ball and the manufacturer. Some utilize similar technology to Pokemon Center PCs and may be comparable to a pocket dimension, for example, while some others simply put the Pokemon into a state of suspended animation. The cheapest mass-produced models are supposedly very claustrophobic -- it's no wonder so many Pokemon are less than fond of theirs.

To put it simply... it's a different experience for just about every Pokemon. I imagine the answers you would get would all be quite different.

I, of course, have never been captured by a pokeball, so I'm afraid I cannot speak from personal experience.

With that kind of technology, couldn't they be used to store more than just Pokemon?

betterthanawiki June 27 2010, 04:36:23 UTC

You would think so. However... Pokemon DNA is radically different from the DNA for most other species. It's that DNA that allows over 500 radically different beings to all be classified as Pokemon -- and it's what keeps Goombas, demons, and other monsters from being labelled as such, too. Science has made remarkable progress with Pokemon DNA, which is why we can be converted to data within a PC system without suffering ill effects.

If you were to try to use a pokeball on a non-Pokemon, it simply wouldn't work -- they're built not to. If you had the technical knowledge to disable those safety precautions, however, I imagine the capture process would either kill you, or disfigure you horribly.

Ah... but perhaps once science has a greater understanding of non-Pokemon genetics, anything could be possible.

That makes sense. [GRUESOME MENTAL IMAGERY IS GO. THANKS UXIE.]

Hopefully well tested before they reach that point.

Still thinking about the trainer's license?

whitedeviljack June 27 2010, 04:30:01 UTC

Maybe.

Maybe?

whitedeviljack June 27 2010, 04:35:50 UTC

Maybe probably.

[BLACKY WAS SECRETLY WORRIED WHEN HIS CAR VANISHED FOR OVER A DAY WITH NO WARNING IN ADVANCE SOB. But damn right she asked about the pendant and the tan and was highly suspicious but decided it was no use being jealous of other woman considering she was one of this other women. At least not openly jealous. Sob sob.]

...I've never been inside a Pokeball. But I've heard they're modeled to mimic the way we curl up tightly when we're afraid or injured... The way we're curled up in the egg. I imagine it must be somewhat comforting that way.

And yes, of course I'm still going with you. To hold your hand, you big baby.

That sounds about right. [Man it's so weird trying to imagine a cat-like or a dog-like creature LAYING AN EGG.]

Thanks. I mean it.

I thought it might be a good thing to look into.

Any reason?

I have no idea. Let my call up Sonja and ask about it.

How'd it go?

In which I pretend I know my stuff. things_go_boom June 28 2010, 00:31:15 UTC

The sword isn't a family heirloom, but some sort of beta-testing weapon Sonja had been working on. "Since it was for the Aparoid War, I never had the heart to tell you it wasn't a heirloom." And she never told me before! The nerve!

Anyway, it's based on the high frequency blades, but she modified it a lot.

So, instead of just tempered high carbon spring steel, she has a mixture of titanium diboride, high carbon spring steel, the blade has aggregated diamond nanorods! Isn't that just, awesome? I mean ultrahard fullerite (or diamond nanorods as I called them before) are even stronger than normal diamonds! I've been wanting to us selective laser sintering myself but I didn't have the money for it. But now...She also upped the frequency speed without damaging the holder's ability to use it, so it cuts even more.

Here's the funniest thing. When she mentioned to Kanbei you still had the sword, his only response was, "What, he still has it?" Apparently we were supposed to give it back but he forgot he had said it was fine and honestly I ( ... )
