Technological advances have evolved the Pokémon world, scientists have created ways to [[Pokémon Storage System|store Pokémon on computers]], [[Global Terminal|send Pokémon around the world]], [[Time Capsule|send Pokémon back in time]], [[Fossil|clone Fossils to create prehistoric Pokémon]], and study parallel [[dimension]]s, yet people's lives in the games are simple and very natural. Scientific achievements such as {{wp|cloning}} and [[Poké Ball|energy conversion]] mingle with magical elements such as spontaneous [[evolution]] and [[Time flower|flowers]] that can replay a short time sequence, giving one the sense that the Pokémon world is very different from our own. The state of technology conceivably places the timeframe we see in either the present day, or perhaps in the future, but this is merely speculative. Scientists at the [[Devon Corporation]] and other companies are still working on more advanced and slightly impossible inventions like a Pokémon Dream Projector that makes a visual projection of Pokémon dreams, Pokémon Speaker that allows communication with Pokémon, and a Pokémon Transformator that turns people into Pokémon (which Bill accidentally did when testing his teleporter). {{wp|Antigravity}} machines exist alongside basic means of travel such as [[bicycle]]s and trucks. | ||
One of the most advanced and commonly used technology in the Pokémon world is the [[Poké Ball]] which transforms a Pokémon into energy so it can be contained in the small ball. In a {{pkmn|battle}}, once the opposing [[wild Pokémon]] has been weakened, the {{pkmn|Trainer}} will throw a Poké Ball at it. Assuming the Poké Ball hits it and is not dodged or hit back to the Trainer, the Poké Ball will open, convert the wild Pokémon to an energy form, pull the energy into its hollow center, and then close. The wild Pokémon will then be given the chance to struggle to try to escape the Poké Ball. Poké Balls originated from [[Apricorn]]s, which is a non-synthetic Poké Ball. Old Apricorn Poké Balls were able to be unscrewed at the disproportionate top and manually be released, to let the Pokémon out. There are now several different kinds of Poké Balls, each for different occasions, including the [[Master Ball]] which is able to capture a wild Pokémon without failure. | One of the most advanced and commonly used technology in the Pokémon world is the [[Poké Ball]] which transforms a Pokémon into energy so it can be contained in the small ball.
