nothing, the anime writers are just retarded and want to pretend pokemon are like real life animals

>>58828983
They don't have trainer licenses. The Pokemon they poach won't be registered with proper digital identification tags so they're easier to traffic

>>58828983
how many times are we going to have to explain this to your retarded brain, is the real question

>>58828983
Because in order for it to count it has to shrink and go in the ball.

>>58828983
You sound like a woke lunatic free palishit retard

I swear this pokewoke thing started in Gen 5

This is like asking what the difference is between hunting deer and hunting bald eagles.

The difference is that one of them is illegal and the other isn't.

Trainers catch Pokemon to train them

Poachers catch Pokemon to sell them

Poachers don't use pokeballs, probably to prevent any lingering attachments. They instead use more abusive tools pokemon are uncomfortable with like rope and poison.

Literal forced drama and contrivance just to have ***evil*** people and antagonists for the main characters to fight against.
Not a single media has ever explained why they don't just catch Pokemon normally. Any justification you get from people is fanfic and headcanon.
There's literally not a single reason, good or bad, as to why they don't catch Pokemon with a simple Pokeball.

There’s nothing wrong with selling Pokemon in the games. The literal first games in the series have a guy selling a Magikarp. It’s just the anime staff making up dumbfuck fanfics.

the trashnime and its fanfic concepts have been a disaster for the pokemon franchise

if you cant tell the difference, you probably simple minded fucking retards
