then why can't every pokemon learn minimize?

Same reason why they can lick you clean and warm~ but can’t learn Lick to fight.

Because not every Pokemon posses the ability to control their innate ability to shrink.

the anime confirmed the light based transmission theory, yet they claim in the games they shrink themselves what is with this series not even able to get the most basic lore straight

>people suddenly learning that pokemon stand for pocket monsters

I should mention it was a recent episode of the still ongoing anime, one of the professors is explaining how his contraption works and how it's similar to pokeballs in that it converts the fossils into light to create pokemon like a pokeball

the anime has never been cannon

You literally see them shrink when they faint

Pokemon don't shrink. They get converted to light energy by the use of the pokeball and are put into some kind of synthetic stasis or dreamworld-like state but are still semi-aware of their surroundings, and can break out by overloading the ball; like how everyone previously thought.
Them physically shrinking down and being trapped in a tiny plastic sphere reinforces the idea that you are holding them hostage and implies they're your slaves you hold in cages 24/7, and that's no good.

Do you have fantasies of Pokemon licking you

Is this the most retarded piece of lore from the series?

except they also break out and do whatever they want, they wouldn't be able to do that if they were just converted to 1s and 0s

I plead the fifth.

>I already account for and explained that in the post

DPPt exists so no

The ashnime has never been canon, not even to itself, please kindly fuck off back to your containment.

That's funny

This is actually very simple. They did. but they changed it later for cooler double team (which is ninja technique)

I dunno the light energy thing is kinda fucking stupid and sounds like some pseudo-digimon shit.

Many animals have things they can only do instinctively (an obvious universal example is breathing, you do not breathe manually, it just happens).
The shrinking is like that, it happens instinctively when they're exposed to specific stimuli or situations. However SOME pokemon are able to manually use this ability.

>being canon
This has been repeatedly confirmed by official sources but the anime and game canons are fundamentally considered separate.
