There’s all sorts of opinions on what the inside of one is like… I’ve seen a lot of people claiming it’s like suspended animation and they don’t register the passage of time, but, the anime establishes that they’re aware of what’s going on outside of their pokeballs while they’re in there, which in my opinion makes it worse.
Suspension is pretty bad too. Imagine: you’re brought out to fight for your life. You get knocked unconscious. Will you ever wake up again from those terrible wounds? Next thing you know you’re up again, fighting for your life against some other monster. If you win, you go right back inside with the taste of blood in your mouth with the next thing you know is another life or death battle.
This happens hundreds of times until your trainer brings you out once to show off and being conditioned only for violence, you attack the first Pokemon you see. Horrifying onlookers.
I think matpat or one of the theorists said that they’re basically in hell being pumped full of stuff like steroids and adrenaline is that they can always be combat ready
I always thought that the whole concept of being stuck in a pokeball for years could be akin to abuse.

Okay, but MatPat is usually a pretty good indication of what not to believe.
