In other words, it's implying that Nincada becomes Paras when it's taken over by a mushroom. Doesn't really work though, considering Paras are born with mushroom spores, but it is pretty interesting. They're both cicada (or at least Paras looks like one).

On top of that, how the hell does that thing have so much compression power to completely disintegrate the matter of a living creature and then bring it back out again in the same damn shape? Some freaky ass time travel stuff going on there.

Yotsuba Wrote:That also raises the question:

These balls can capture living lifeforms. So, would it be possible to capture humans as well with a Pokeball? Unless there's one common property that all Pokemon share, and scientists of the Pokemon world were able to make these balls only react when that property is present, I don't see why it wouldn't work on humans. Or, they could do it the other way around, but then-

Oh, why am I bringing this into thought?

TøbiasBlack Wrote:remember, before apricorns were used as the first pokeballs, and even before then people just had pokemon that obeyed them. that raises a more prevalent question: how did the ancient people catch their pokemon? did they capture them it traps and abuse them so where they, the pokemon, lost all desire to resist and developed stokholms syndrome and obeyed their captors, then were forced to breed so their captors could enslave their children?

Yotsuba Wrote:It was probably like how Pokemon randomly join Ash because they respect him.

★★★★★ Wrote:Why would anyone respect Ash? He was walking around with Misty all those years and didn't get the hint.
