I didn’t know pokeballs had this ad-on feature.

That's... different

Wait

What happens if a pokeball is destroyed with a pokemon inside?

Would it die woth the pokeball or the pokemon would get released the moment it starts to shatter

How do u even release a pokemon
Is there a way to break the link with their pokeballs?

in the comics the ball was only to hold your pokemon, nothing special about it, if I remember my comic lore right the pokemon is just released and just need a new pokeball, but sometimes you can't get them out properly without the button but don't trust me. idk

They can be considered released when the owner releases them or when the Pokemon is out, the pokeball is destroyed. As for when the Pokémon is inside the pokeball… probably after the container of its energy is destroyed and the energy disperses, the Pokémon becomes energy with no will, dead basically.

No...... Nooooo! 😂😂😂😂😅

This comic runs by it's own rules a number of times, but if you want canonical lore:

If a pokeball breaks, the pokemon is released. This is seen when ash drops snorlax's pokeball (3 minutes and 50 seconds into the linked episode, if you can find it online) and when Jessie breaks dustox's pokeball.

Pokemon can leave their pokeball whenever they want (even for little to no reason, look at clemont's chespin throughout the entirity of XY&Z, always popping out to snag food.)

Pokeballs don't actually give a trainer control over a pokemon, it's just an easy mode of transportation. They do have a pacifying effect though, acting to calm a pokemon down. In the first episode ever of pokemon we can see pikachu refuse nearly every request from Ash, including knocking the pokeball back at him when told to return (8:22, 9:28, 10:50) but we can also see this from grookey in episode 59 of master journeys (17:52-18:17 and 18:41 if you watch the episode) where it smashes it's own pokeball.

The inside of a pokeball acts as a endless virtual reality that the pokemon designs for it's own leisure. For some this is a personal riverbed, for others a disco club (This is not a joke, image from an episode here) (In case you want the full episode, it is this one at 7:40.)

As for pokemon dying, it only really happens when it is used to add emotion to the plot. From sun and moon, there is a stoutland, that we actually see pass away (11:19-13:55 in the episode.) He essentially just fades away, but eventually reunites with litten; which is now torracat, in spirit form (Linked episode from sun moon, ultra legends 9:30-10:50) which doesn't seem to differ from not being dead, apart from just being on a different plane of existence.

That's a ton of lore elements I wasn't aware about (as much as the anime's canon differs from the games').

I like the idea of a virtual space, makes me think of Digimon in some way.
