Turns Out, Pokemon Are Living The Five-Star Hotel Life In Luxury Balls
Think too much about its world and Pokemon starts to feel morbid. You capture random animals and stuff them into tiny balls, the assumption being that the balls are bigger on the inside (i.e. Time Lord tech). But what's on the inside? Do they go into a black void of eternal sleep until they're summoned forth for battle? Maybe not, since the new anime has now revealed that Luxury Balls hold stylish hotel-like rooms inside.
As shared by Joe Merrick, a new episode opens up the Luxury Ball to show us Quaxly on a lush red sofa with their arms back, feet kicked up, and eyes closed, relaxing with a glass of champagne. It's probably not champagne - it looks more like orange juice, and it has a straw. I don't drink champagne, but I assume you don't use a straw.

There are even snacks in the back and a disco ball overhead, lighting up the room. Shrinking an animal and wedging them into a ball still makes me raise my eyebrows, but Quaxly doesn't seem to mind. Maybe we'll see what the insides of the other balls look like in this new anime. I'm picturing the Standard one as a rundown prison cell, the 'Great' Ball as a three-star motel, and the Premium Ball as a play area you'd leave your kids in, covered in PokeStop branding.
A lot of the Pokeballs have distinct themes, and given that the 'Luxury' Ball houses a luxury interior, that likely means the Safari one is a jungle, and that the Moon Ball looks like the lunar surface. Then we have the Net Ball... Is the inside of it just a giant tangled net with our 'mons caught up? Maybe there's a good reason Pikachu hates being in a ball, and why Team Rocket's Meowth is adamant to stay wild.
