As seen in the anime, humans can't get caught in Poke Balls; the Poke Ball's light just stuns them for a while.

And if that actually happened, the human could break out of the ball if they willed it.

Humans has more, uhh, willpower to break out of the Pokeball. Remember Jessie's Wobuffet? Unless the human has no willpower at all, then bleh.

I suppose it would feel like being a black hole. Except that time still flows. Or maybe, the human shrinks and the pokeball can act as a natural habitat; i.e a house.

I also have to go with Platinumdude because I have seen this in the anime as well.

Or the human would just smash the Poke Ball

Well I dont think a Human will smash it because there are other Pokemon that are twice the size as humans and I dont think they will break the Pokemon ball although I remember Snorlax's Pokeball breaking on a rock =/. I think the ball cannot be broken on the inside but the outside can

I like imaginaing that inside pokeballs is a little house for the pokemon so they like staying in there. If it was uncomfortable in there why would they all not just break out all the time. So if a human was in there they would be in a little house but then they would break out as soon as they wanted to or if they wanted to stay then when they were called out they would be free.

I always imagined it would be either like suspended animation eg "Demolition Man" - (which would be preferable if you were kept in there for great lengths of time) or like Jeannies bottle in "I dream of Jeannie". I wonder if my References are too old for most on here to understand, lol.

I guess Pokemon have some different energy around them that allows them to be caught in Poke Balls and be transported via PC, while humans cannot.

I have no idea how it would feel. If they got caught... they'd probably feel like any normal Pokemon would and probably go insane since they're just not geared to be caught.

Probably hpw Pokemon feels which we all don't know. However, I assume it would feel really compressed, and hot, since you are just converted to a matter of few photons of light.

That would be like the weirdest thing ever! But if ever a human gets caught in a Pokeball, then as what as Zeffy mentioned, if ever a Pokemon wants to get out in a Pokemon it can, and so when it comes to the case of humans, it will be the same. :3

Much like how PSyduck in the original series can, and always derping around Misty's battles.

I don't really know, I always imagined the creature in the Pokéball to be in some kind of slumber, or subconsciousness, kind of in fetal position haha, so I guess that would just be the same experience to humans. Hypothetically of course, cause I don't see a way for them to be in it in the first place.
