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?

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?
