Nah, having thought about it, the media series where pokémon are presented as shrinking down and chilling in pokéballs as true pocket monsters IS closer to Tajiri's lore of the things, than the esoteric shrink anims they put in the game as a concession to the tech OR to the anime, where shudo flat-out ignored they shrink to make it easier for his boomer brain to translate to screen.
Because that's the crux of it - Pokémon shrink. Have always shrunk since they released the first games and accompanying guide, made in conjunction with the devteam. even if that breaks your fragile little psyche, is something your peon little brain can't wrap itself around the concept, it's what Tajiri wrote. So yeah kid, a manga that showed Pocket Monsters that could shrink to pocket-sized is EXACTLY akin to Tajiri's whole concept of the world he'd created. Die in a fire, save the world your stupidity.
