    I understand why there is in the games, what with gameplay considerations, and I can understand in tournaments/gym battles etc making 6 the limit, but when you're just out and about why is there still a limit? It's been shown once you have more than 6 one of them "locks" until you send another one back which doesn't make sense. In the pokeworld why does it matter how many you have at once so long as you aren't in a tournament or gym battle or what have you.

    Maybe I'm just over thinking this lol.

    I always wondered this too. That's like saying you're only allowed to have six friends or six family members and not any more. If you're just a regular trainer who's not interested in gym battles, etc or all you want to do is make friends with pokemon then having more than six shouldn't be a problem.
     
    Your bag will get heavy and if you have other things in there you bag will get crowded.
     
    Its probably just a policy to ensure safety and security. Imagine having 20 Pokemon get in a fight or something in a public area and the trainer or other people get hurt. It also discourages overcapturing the population of wild Pokemon and thus possibly disturbing the balance of nature or some crazy stuff.
     
    Probably because five is too little, and seven feels like way too many. I think they wanted to be bigger than Power Rangers, but they didn't want people to feel like they needed to keep track of an army.
     
    You can have as many as you want just 6 on you at a time. I think this rule is for only trainers. I think theyve shown people with more than 6 at their homes that dont go out and battle. Gold has 9 with him before he started his journey in the manga

    Yeah but how do the pokeballs know that you're a trainer or not so they can stop you taking more than 7 pokemon?
     
    I think the 6-Pokemon limit is there to prevent one trainer from gaining a significant advantage over the other in a battle.
     
    It can very awful when you fighting with Champion or Breeder:t096:
    They have very much pokemon and you can exhaust with long battle.
    (My English very bad, sorry)
     
    Because having 20+ gyarados/charizard/some-other-big-mass-destruction-pokemon/etc would be totally broken


    Still,I wonder why criminal organizations abide to the 6pokemon rule.
     
    6 does seem to be a good number. They should keep it at 6 because if they were to increase it even once, their would be a demand for it to keep increasing. (Saw on another forum where someone who liked the 3 vs. 3 Triple Battles wanted to see 4 vs. 4 Quadruple battles!)
     
    To me 6 seems fair even number, but I also wondered why only 6 limit. (I was going to make another comment but forgot what I was going to share)
     
    i would prefer a 8 pokemon limit instead of 6 , but we have to live with it
     
    Well six makes battling a great option and provides care to each pokemon usually I think u should be able to be befriend pokemon in certain areas like a ranger does so hms weren't need all the time instead of catch befriend
