Masuda answers the burning questions of Pokemon
A portion of a Game Informer interview with Masuda...
GI: What exactly happens inside of a Pokéball? Is there a home in there? Is there food in there? And can humans go in a Pokéball?
Masuda: It sure would be interesting if Pokéballs existed in real life, and we haven’t imagined that. But, in terms of what’s inside of the Pokéball, it’s a space that’s incredibly comfortable for Pokémon. So comfortable, that they want to enter the Pokéball without any sort of outside encouragement. What’s actually in there is something we would like for people to sort of imagine on their own. In terms of whether humans can enter the Pokéball or not, it’s called a Pokéball, so probably not. I think it’s just for Pokémon.
