This design allows Pokémon to “step in” or be “placed inside” the capsule like guests checking into a capsule hotel—rather than being forcibly compressed into mere digital energy data. As a result, the creature retains its physical form, offering a far more human‑like experience. Rather than relying on conventional cryogenic hibernation, the process employs miniature quantum generators within the capsule to slow cellular activity and metabolic rates down to just one ten-thousandth of their normal levels.
