    I somehow never thought about that. How does that work? Do they use a giant network of pneumatic tubes?

      When we first meet bill, he’s working on a teleporter that pretty clearly digitizes you, transports you down a wire, and then reconstructs you at the other end, so there’s that.

      Yeah. The Pokemon don’t get digitised and stored in a buffer, their ID transferred to Bill’s disks.

      Bill just has an old PC case filled with occupied Pokeballs and a Chansey labelling them, ready to tube some back.

        That’s right. Pay no attention to the duplication glitch that occurs if you disconnect your Gameboys after trading one way.

        It’s definitely not restoring your totally unique and definitely not artificially reconstructed friend from a read only snapshot due to a glitch in Bill’s transfer code.

          Makes me wonder why Team Rocket never tried malware. They could control all capture Pokemon quite easily.

          Wild Pikachus in your area down to get caught!

          “Oooo!”

          And suddenly they got access to all your stored Pokemon.

      They get turned into red light when going into pokeball. They get stored as red light. No need for tubes to store ball.

      Since the masterball exists that must mean you keep the masterball on you always and just pull the pokemon out with any connected PC.
