@N33R she all about that kde plasma destop
@N33R i wish this had alt text so i could retoot it
@N33R it runs fucking ubuntu fuck no
@N33R it converts all the pokemons into snaps

@N33R i dont think this is lore accurate tho is it? its not digimon they don’t go in the actual computer, they just get transferred elsewhere and tracked via the computer

tho then again how they get stored in pokeballs and transferred like that is a major hole in the worldbuilding, the kind that really really icks me

@zaire pokeballs do in fact digitize their contents and can themselves be digitized for transfers, trades, etc., otherwise good luck fitting a Wailord in your pocket (assuming you could even pick it up)
@[email protected] @[email protected] in the anime (which is not canon for games, but well, games don't explain it at all), poke balls are teleported to storage rooms containing many, many pokemon.

teleportation technology is very much established to exist in the pokemon world, first of all, some pokemon can learn the move
teleport, which does exactly that, teleport, and second, warp panels are pretty common. ​
@[email protected] @[email protected] as for how poke balls work, pokemon have an ability to shrink to fit within a poke ball (this is stated by Professor Laventon in legends arceus).

the poke balls themselves are designed to be comfortable spaces to live, to quote Junichi Masuda, who was a game director for multiple games, they are like
"the equivalent of a high-end suite room in a fancy hotel".
What It's Like Inside A Pokeball, According To A Pokémon Developer

For years, Pokémon fans have argued over what happens when a monster is recalled into a Pokeball. The theories are endless.

@Caramel @N33R thank you! this explains it quite well, other than how pokeballs can forcibly activate that without the pokemon’s consent

A Braixen is desperately tugging on the shirt of a Pokémon trainer. Behind the Pokémon is a Pokedex terminal.

"Please don't put me in the computer! I'll be a good Braixen from now on!"
The trainer is uncomfortable and uncertain. The Pokémon continues.
"I beg of you!! It runs GNOME! It's fucking unbearable!!"

@N33R put me in that computer instead :33
@N33R now I feel offended XD
