>3) Pokéballs have a safety feature that checks if the device is working properly. If abnormalities are detected (e.g. cracks, technical defects, low battery), the Pokéball will automatically lock, preventing its usage until the Pokéball is repaired. However, this safety measure can fail, as of EP107, when a cracked Pokéball causes Ash’s Snorlax to be released. So that's debatable.
>4) There are no knock-offs or off-brand Pokéballs (at least no known ones (?). All stem from the same few companies, meaning they're bound by law to ensure their products are safe to use.
What about Kurt's Pokéballs and the Hisuan ones? Given Kurt is a reputable Pokéball smith, he probably has some technique that makes his Pokéballs as safe as industrially manufactured ones. Hisuan Pokéballs should be more prone to accidents, given the past tech. Though, it’s debatable if during the time when PLA takes place, they improved their craft to the point of Pokéballs being relatively safe to use.
Cara Liss’ machine could be a case of modified tech ignoring those safety rules, which resulted in pokemon hybrids.
>5) Outside of technical stuff, battle rules established by the Pokémon League could reflect safety precautions as well. Like, propagating it as a cultural norm. For example, switching pokemon in or out always happens in a given order: FIRST you call a present pokemon back, THEN you send the replacement in. It's never (?) shown that pokemon are immediately send in while the present pokemon is still in the process of being turned into energy and called back. (Not taking into account pokemon being send in next to another pokemon; perhaps with a safe distance, the risk of energy rays affecting each other can be ruled out.) With that, Pokéball users unknowingly avoid getting into dangerous situations in the first place.
