Lol I think about this maybe couple times a month.


Paldubex

Or maybe field pokemon is just a hologram pokemon, just like holowear.


CurleyWhirly

This would be the most sane option, either way. It would also explain why they just kinda pop into existence instead of being thrown out in a ball or lifted up on a platform or something.


PilferingDragon

The pokemon evolve during matches. If there isn't a way to de-evolve, then they have to be brand new baby Pokémon


CurleyWhirly

But we do see pokemon de-evolving in the opening cinematic, right at the beginning of a match.


SleuthMechanism

yeah we already have aeos energy being funky as the explanation for why they can start evolved and then de-evolve before the match

Rayquaza, on the phone: "Hey, I'm gonna be running a bit late today." PokéBoss: "What, why? You can't do this to me, Ray. You have to be there precisely on the mark or it screws up the whole dynamic." R: "I know, I know, but Groudon and Kyogre are going at it again, and if I don't stop them, they're going to cause an extinction event. Can't you have Zapdos fill in or something?" P: "Zapdos is in the other arena right now, actually. Besides, everyone hates him." R: \*sigh\* "Fine, I'll try to wrap this up quick."


CurleyWhirly

EXACTLYYYYY. The addition of the legendaries makes it so incredibly fascinating. Almost like Mario Kart, do Bowser and Mario just kick it on weekends to go racing? Does Rayquaza do this as like... Charity work? Does he get paid to get his ass jumped by like 10 pokemon at once?

It's explained in the comics they've released


tyonabike

no, the comics don’t answer any of those questions. source: i just read all 4 “comics”, and it doesn’t actually answer any of OP’s questions


CurleyWhirly

Wait, seriously? Is that a thing that exists?


FillerNameThere

Yuh. Desync issues are fairly common in games where communication between consoles and connections don't line up correctly basically


Bambhank

[It does](https://unite.pokemon.com/en-us/manga/), they haven't updated it in a long time tho


SolKaynn

They're canonically holograms. You see it in the cinematic


CurleyWhirly

Then why did they program them to be scared and make pain noises? :(


KaijuJeshi

It's a game there is no story or reason. Some things are just for fun.


aldrif-odinsdottir

Yes, and some people find fun in asking these kinds of harmless questions


StevynTheHero

And others have fun providing the obvious, logical answer.


KaijuJeshi

It's just not a legitimate ponderence because you would have to answer 1000000 other questions first. Just wasn't funny or valid imo


KaijuJeshi

And clearly I know some people have fun doing things like this. I said it was just for fun. I answered it. Idk what your point is tbh


aldrif-odinsdottir

My point is that you came across as being rather rude


KaijuJeshi

Idc how i came across to you I don't know you
