Comics - Chapter 11 Page 2

and i'm somewhere in the middle of these 2

Seriously!
What's the inside of those pokeballs like?
Are those pokemon aware?
Do they have a concept of time in there?
There's probably an explaination for it, but I doubt it would make any of us happy.

@Deonis: Apparently it's a lotus eater machine, where they are stuck in a blissful dreamworld.

He wont be satisfied till he joins all the teams!

Atty missed his calling. He should be with Plasma, not Rocket.

But I have to say, that indignant look George gave him is absolutely priceless.

oh my gosh.

That look that George gives Atty. I'm keeping that one.

Yeah. I always thought it was pretty messed up that the Pokemon were sent to live in a PC once you already had six.

At least Ash's Pokemon got to live with Professor Oak.

@King_Kindred: See, I always liked to delude myself into thinking that that is actually what ends up happening to the Pokemon. That they get transported to some sort of daycare-esque setting with the Professor or a place like it. At least in the newer games you can customize the boxes with a theme, so it's easier to imagine that're in more of a big virtual space than sitting in Pokeballs.

Think "inside the moon" from Majora's Mask.

I'm sure Abel will be absolutely thrilled to devote more RAM to the annoying little kid who almost microwaved one of his pokemon.

Atty's "not giving a crap" face is priceless. XD

It was worse in the games because all of the PC pokemon would fall way behind the ones I carried on me in levels. So, I never bothered pulling them out again to train them.

Also, love George's face in the second panel.

IS SHE WEARING THE HAWAIIAN SHIRT!? IS GEORGE WEARING THE HAWAIIAN SHIRT!? :D

see i would train every pokemon i owned to the same level but i would have at least on box full

@Taseli: I always thought they end up at Professor Oak's lab, not sure about the game though.

freedom is overrated

i guess it is now confirmed that george is a hoarder

@disastermaster: don't forget about George's desire to 'catch them ALL'

George's face in Panel 2? Every nerd has had that face on at least once.

George will just have to pay an annual fee for more storage space *CoughPokemonBank*cough* or pay a larger amount but have tedious transfering *coughPokemonBoxcough*

Author comment I could've sworn the author comment originally said something else. H0ly, did you change it? xD

George... why are you using the keyboard when there's a mouse?

I wonder if Atty has any fascination with the sea, land, space or fashion?

...well probably not fashion.

Panel 2 George (subtext): Really? You're going to point out the moral highground to me, mr. guy who hates fun, burned down a forest, and then freaking JOINED TEAM ROCKET the most EVIL people EVER? Really?

In the anime, the Pokemon are shown to just be shrunk down in the dark dimensions of the Pokeball (I remember this being demonstrated with Misty's Psyduck in an early episode, and there's another instance where Iris's Dragonite is shown sitting moodily in its Pokeball). In the manga the tops of the Pokeballs are transparent so the Pokemon can see out of its ball. As for the PC, in the anime it's shown that all of Ash's boxed Pokemon went to Professor Oak's lab, but that seems completely impractical for everybody's Pokemon.

My favored theory for the PC comes from the games. You can change the wallpaper in each box; I like to imagine that it creates a virtual space connecting all the Pokeballs in the box, based on what you set. Not that it makes sense for certain wallpapers, like the Team Plasma or Legend Wallpapers.

She looks like a kid in pannel two.

It hadn't come up in so long that I had actually forgotten about George's fairly unhealthy interpretation of "Gotta catch em all."

Oh, Atty, you silly.
Pointing out blatant hypocrisy never works.
