How many Pokémon can a Poké Ball keep at a time?

Question

Do I need 100 Poké Balls to capture 100 Pokémon? Or, one Poké Ball would be enough? Or, maybe 10 Poké Balls if 10 Pokémon per Poké Ball is the limit? What exactly is the limit?

Googling failed for me. I am trying to recall hard but I can't remember Ash having multiple Poké Balls, but maybe the TV show didn't find such details necessary to show (not to mention you may need to carry a truck of Poké Balls wherever you go). Also, Ash used to cry out names ("Charizard!") which can be indicator that he is calling a particular Pokémon to come out of a Poké Ball containing multiple Pokémon, but it can be just another rule of cool. There's another problem: If a Poké Ball contains more than one Pokémon of the same species, there would be conflict when you call a name.

Valorum · Accepted Answer

Although the answer is typically "one pokémon per pokeball" (Ash keeps a selection of balls about his person for precisely this purpose and occasionally agonised over which ones to take with him) there are some instances where multiple Pokémon can be kept in a single ball. In this case they're treated as a single entity.

It's one Pokémon per Poké Ball. Ash had multiple Poké Balls. Poké Balls can shrink for easier storage and be put on a belt. Up to six can be stored on a belt and the others are carried in backpacks, sacks etc.

I think 1 Pokémon can be stored in each pokéball usually in games, but when I saw Pokemon Black and White, which aired on Cartoon Network, Iris tells Ash that if you catch more Pokémon the pokéball will shrink its size. But in Pokémon Season 1 Ash carries 6 pokéballs and his other Pokémon are transferred to Professor Oak, like Muk and Kingler.
