Question on Pokeballs with Anthro Pokemon
6 years ago
For the past few months, I've been working on a document detailing how pokeballs would work in an anthro pokemon world. Because of things like Pokemon Centers, Trade Evolution, and Dynamax I don't wish to get rid of Pokeballs outright due to how important they are to the pokemon world. Though I also understand that pokeballs don't translate well once the pokemons live and act like humans which really gets under people's skin. As a result, I've taken it upon myself to rewrite Pokeballs into a much more accepting manner and am at most 3,000 words in. Though as I'm nearing the end of it, I wanted to see what other people's reactions are so I can make pokeballs unique and avoid the concerns present.
The idea is that they began as devices to help officers and authorities handle dangerous pokemon such as Primeape who were difficult to contain due to their anger. Though slowly the public became interested due to the idea of pokeballs serving as a personal space for each pokemon, leading to them being mass-produced and having unique importance in many situations. Because of the many systems and features in place for every pokeball, there is no fear of it being used for wrong and has become a staple in many services today. There are a number of pokemon who dislike Pokeballs and technology for one reason or another, but it's hard not to ignore just how much the world has changed thanks to pokeballs and the growing technology of the world.
With this Journal I hope to get people to give me advice or ideas as I have seen quite a number of people show real distaste for the idea just from word alone, so understanding what bothers people can really allow me to think harder on what to address and handle when I get to the problem.

As you said, Pokeballs are very useful. Not just space storage but fastor transit, healing and so on... Maybe they can get 'registered' to a pokeball, or just a treatment or process, just to mark them so random balls can't work on them without their consent?
Also, I considered all public pokeballs would have the mark feature as to not be used for other pokeballs. Though a number of pokeballs found in places such as pokemon centers and of course officers ignore the mark system.
