i am going to ask the question that has been around since pokemon began....what do pokemon do in there pokeballs? what is inside a pokeball to do? so many questions have never been answered. it seems like its just an empty space in there so what happens when a pokemon goes in a pokeball?
 
My guess at Pokeballs is that they are a sort of matter to energy converter that stores them as data, very much like a PC. My take at what the Pokemon "feel" is that it's like sleeping. When they come out it doesn't feel like time has passed, but they feel rested.
 
i guess since when they go in they just turn into like...red energy streams lol.
 
My guess is that they are put into a trance to make it seem like they are sleeping, then they break out of the trance once they are sent out of the pokeball.
 
I agree with Hyperbeem.
Because if that IS the answer, it would explain the PC boxes too. (although in the anime, the PC box is basically just teleporting between a PokeCenter and Oak's Lab.
 
A better question is: How do you fit Giants like the Weather trio and Wailord inside a pokeball?

Really now, the reason it's been unanswered for so long is because it's not supposed to be answered. It's just something you live with and deal with in pokemon, just like how you all use your internet everday without ever questioning how ISPs, DNS, TCP/IP, routers, etc work.

Nobody who's ever gone searching for the answers has found a definitive answer anyway, so there really isn't much worth discussing. At the most I guess we can all post theories and then we see whose theory makes the most sense (read: sounds the least ridiculous)

My money's on Narnia.
 
I think this was cleared up in 2004, where a promotion showed the inside of a poke ball as a spherical room with no gravity. Either that, or the pokemon are put in a cryogenic sleep.
 
we can see the inside of a pokeball . its looks more like mirrors. and also as i said before they turn into like a red blob of energy. maybe thats what it is. they just turn into pure energy and then when they come back out they become a solid again...kind of like teleporting lol
 
I don't think even the creators knew what happens to them in there. They just want us to be frustrated by trying to figure it out.
 
The History of a Pokeball:
Once a psyco murderer stumbled upon a Voltorb. The Voltorb made the murderer angry. So, he split the Voltorb in half with a dagger. He then inserted mirrors inside of it to admire himelf. Next an Electrode came, killed the lunatic, and sent an electric charge at the Voltorb, hopoing to revive it. Thus, the Pokeball was born. Next, Samuel Oak came,found the pokeball, discovered what it did, killed a bunch of Voltorbs, made Pokeballs, sold them to the market, and became a famous Pokemon Professor. That is how the pokeball was born.
 
And that just proved my point lol, although that explanation was very creative and actually made sense. The only thing that detracts from the humor of your idea is the fact that the Pokeball was probably around before Oak was an adult or even born :).

Maybe they are shrunk and stored inside the pokeballs.

I think this is the best answer so far. Concise and straight to the point. Honey I shrunk the pokemans

It's also probably how pokeballs work in the pokemon special manga (since in there the top half is semitransparent and you can see minaturised version of the pokemon inside)
 
Wasn't it said somewhere that there is an alternate world in there that Pokemon love?

Maybe Pikachu has some sort of deep-seated fear of being alone, which is why he doesn't want to stay in the ball (no one else is there).

Or maybe he's just a wuss.

My Narnia theory! \O/

Pikachu is not in a ball because the show's producers wanted a constant pokemon companion to follow Ash about and interact with the environment and people, kind of like how it works in Digimon. Of course having all 6 pokemon out is way overkill and pikachu happens to be conveniently small, compact and portable. So ya.

NOTE: This tactic of having "one small and portable pokemon out" can be seen in other media as well, like the pokespe manga.
