Man the title of this video brings back memories of watching "what happens inside a pokeball" videos in like 2015/16. They all used the same art of a pokeball with a clear top and a super realistic terrarium and pokemon inside
They're just weird honestly, especially after really thinking about it for a while. Like also what happens exactly when they get recalled to them? How do they feel about them?
Legends Arceus says that the pokeball was created by accident after a pokemon shrunk and transferred inside a small object, so they decided to make a technology that was intentionally for capturing pokemon. The pokemon can shrink their size (same process as the move Minimize) so the pokeball itself doesn’t cause the shrinking itself. Current pokeballs apparently have their own little environments inside of them depending on the type of ball used on the pokemon. This doesn’t answer any of the physics obvi but it is a canon answer! (except for the environments part, that may just be an assumption I once heard)
@@F14thunderhawk And in one episode of the Pokémon Horizons, there's a scene where Dot is talking about Pokeballs, and she shows an image of Quaxly in a luxury ball and it is a super fancy and luxerious hotel-like space.
According to Professor Laventon (from the Lengend Arceus), Pokemon have the power to shrink themselves, which causes them to disappear when they escape. He also says that by taking advantage of this opportunity, Pokemon can be caught in capsules, i.e. Pokeballs, which were originally made from the shells of Apricorns. It's kind of a recycled lore bomb from the original Japanese Pokemon book that was never westernized but a few years ago it was brought up again by the DYKG channel, which presented every chapter of the book now translated into English.

The Dragon Ball manga was first serialized in 1984. Pokémon was introduced over a decade later in 1996. Dragon Ball was hugely popular worldwide, including in Japan, it's likely that Pokémon creators may have been aware of Capsule Corp concept and may have drawn some inspiration from it.
i love it, i knew the densitis would be gigantic, but wow i underestimated the energies, i guess it makes sense, because i was thinking of the speed of light on its own, i forgot about the fact it was squared lol.
the way i think a pokeball works is rather than converting the pokemon to raw energy they get converted to code. hear me out. you can upload pokemon you catch to your pc, you can even do it from the wild.(maybe the pokemon even gets transferred by the pokeball itself?) If you upload something to a computer then obviously the computer needs to be able to read it in its own language to be able to process the information, so I think a pokeball is kinda like a pc except it's only able to store one pokemon at a time. but going by visuals presented then yeah i feel like pokeballs are kinda mini planet destroyers
Something tells me that the anime version of Pokéball will reach it's Schwarzchild radius very soon (only watched 2 minutes) I was wrong but close enough
First vid I've seen from this channel and it feels very old style and classic, I had a great time learning about the energy potential of condensed Pokemon
@@healthyminds9279 maybe the wiring inside the pokeball is just like a neural network consciousness of a Pokemon inside a pokeball chief justice side effect of running that binary code into electrical pulses through that neural network
@@healthyminds9279 may be whenever a pokeball is used it forms a neural network for that pokemon and the consciousness of a pokemon inside the pokeball is just the by product of the binary code for that pokemon running as electrical pulses through that neural network
I'll have to watch this later, but it wouldn't surprise me if he has no idea that the Pokémon themselves are what is causing them to shrink and not the Pokéballs.
both theories have their merit in the game canon i would say. In Legends Arceus as far as i remember it was stated that some for of apricorns had the ability to shrink down pokemon which by accident created pokeballs roughly during the time of hisui yet the older models where also slightly explosive (seeing how their is a firework after catching pokemon). In the newer games my theory would be is that the energy used for matter conversion is the infinite energy or virus energy regarding in which timeline you are in since infinite energy only exists in the mega timeline do to being a byproduct of megaevolution and AZs death lazer. in non mega timelines i would assume the energy comes from either deoxys or mew or they just use the shrinking method from hisui.
3:21 and 9:14 A lot of people misunderstand the mass-energy equivalence principle, probably including me. But I’m pretty sure that if there is a lot of energy contained in the pokéball, then it actually is mass so that does not help you. As you say, this is also M = E/c² (although I think it does not apply to literally all energy, it does if you can keep the energy in one spot like a pokéball) 4:21 One theory I’ve seen is that you, the 10-year-old player character of the game, who is tasked with finding lots of pokémon to fill out the pokédex, are actually filling it out and writing all the entries yourself.
I'm pretty sure the weight is like this to balance stuff like low kick. Otherwise, a literal elephant would weigh more than a ton. Also, as a sidenote: the giant Torterras in detective Pikachu are probably kinda heavy as well.
Who knew a relatively obscure and underrated pokemon vid would be the way i discover the "better" version of E=mc^2 That was mind-blowing and could open up new avenues for me understanding the universe!
It actually wasn’t as hard as it sounds, the spreadsheet did basically all the math for me. Once I had all the data, doing all the calculations literally only took like a minute!
@TheChiptide even so- I mean I've watched your fmvideos on the science f FNAG so I guess that also influenced this comment but wow- I don't understand math and stuff that well, so maybe that's why I'm also astonished
Personally, because pokemons can be stored in computers in the games, I always had the headcanon that pokemons were somehow transferred into pure data and reconverted back when they get taken out of the pokeball. It also could be a very good explanation as to how Missingno could be a real pokemon. It would just be a pokemon who's data was corrupted, making the pokeball have a hard time trying to reconvert it, therefore making a glitchy mess of a pokemon.
I thought that 3 inches sounded way too small for a hand, but then I measured my own hand and realized it's only 3 1/2 to 4 inches in width. This is why I can't gauge how long a mile is.
I've heard a theory that somehow they get converted into data which is why they can be stored in a computer and how trading works. How much storage would each pokemon take?
speaking of cosmoem, it is by far the densest pokemon with a height of 0.1m, about the size of the enlarged pokeball from the anime. of about 1,909,668.3kg/m^3 and this is actually a low estimate because it assumes it is a perfect sphere starting from the ends of the yellow rings. But in actuality, i bet most of the mass is contained in the tiny purple/black sphere which by eyeballing it, has a diameter of a third of the entire length. let's just say for simlicity sake that the rings are .9kg while the inner sphere is 999kg. that would mean that the sphere of a volume 0.000019392547244381439m^3 containing 999kg would result in a density of 51,514,635.36kg/m^3
And here I thought that mass and volume of pokemon was completely irrelevant to their, well, everything. Especially given the Dynamax phenomenon dramatically increases both without ANY material being added to them in much the same way that the inverse has been happening since generation one.
@@nullpoint3346 matter and energy are 2 forms of the same thing. Matter is, in a sense, congealed energy. You can transform matter into energy, but adding up the matter and energy from before and after doing that, they should balance out.
I got to say density is not boring at all. Imagine you have a system with an area at the top. The top has a water level and above that water level is steam. How do you know what water level is reliably for 30+ years? A float is a pretty normal and reliable system that you could use however let’s say the system is pressurized to 200-2500+ psig and the temperature is somewhere between 100 and 600F. A float would struggle to handle this the system would have inaccuracies due to temperature changes and the flow would not be able to give you a good measurement. What if you have a leg of water that is ontop of a differential pressure detector and a pipe running from the bottom of the vessel to the differential pressure detector? Well if temperature or pressure changes the measurement will change accordingly and make your measurement inaccurate. So what if we add some software or code that automatically takes pressure and temperature to find out the mass of the water in bother the over head piping and the piping from the vessel. Now you have an accurate measurement. This is called density compensation where you compensate for the density of the water and steam or tow other mediums to find the actual level or indication of the system. This could be used to measure flow, stress, and various other things if used correctly.
To add onto mass and energy being pretty damn similar. You have E=MC^2. Light at we know it has energy that’s why there infrared, ultra violet and even gamma light. That being said how does light have energy if it doesn’t have mass? I mean a photon has no mass so 0 mass times C^2 is still 0. Well energy of light actually comes from its magnetic field. The electro magnetic field of light is often displayed as two waves that intersect at 90 degree angles from each other. The faster the magnetic field poles flip the higher frequency the light is the more energy it has. You can actually substitute the M in Einstein’s equation for a separate equation for the magnetic field. Thats how you’re able to measure the energy of light. I mean you actually measure it by the frequency but frequency is directly related to magnetic field flipping which is directly related to the energy of the magnetic field so you end up at the energy of light through that process. Pretty cool right.
I'm really disappointed, because the thumbnail led me to believe that this video was gonna talk about Infinity Energy/Pokémon Life Force, which seems to be the power source of Poké Balls. And I immediatly clicked because I was thinking "Oh my god finally someone else besides me who knows about Pokémon Life Force and the dark lore implications around it !" I know it says Infinite Energy and not Infinity Energy, but I thought it was just a typo. Sadly it wasn't, and I'm still one of the few people who know about Infinity Energy/Pokémon Life Force. If you wanna talk about Poké Balls, maybe it's time to pay attention to the Pokémon lore for a change. It contains a lot of information that could change how you view the Pokémon world. I mean if anyone says they're interested, I'll simplify the process and just explain that lore to them, because it's quite complex and a lot of it is hidden away, making it not so easy to gather all the info. Also the Pokémon community doesn't really search for the lore and analyze its meaning like the Undertale community (for example) would anyway, so it'll be easier if I just explain it. Heck we just had one of the most nuanced characters in the entire franchise with Kieran, and most people can't even understand the depth of his character, even though it's right under their noses. So these people would never find out about the dark hidden lore on their own, and it's pretty demoralizing to see that the community's ability to look for and understand complexity is so limited if you ask me.
