#The implications that they were used maliciously are only assumptions by historians which means it very well may not be how they were used

(shaymincafe) Pumpkin @ Wanda: "The Great War"? Sounds... scary. Do you know exactly why there was a historical blackout? Was it caused by some sort of great literature loss? Like the purposeful burning of records?

Wanda sighed, "Honestly, I don't, no one does," Wanda began to get excited again, "But that's exactly what makes it so interesting! We do know a few things about it though, there were these devices known as pokeballs that were invented and used, though any uncovered don't work, most are barely intact, and only a few were uncovered without their pieces being scattered about! You can actually see one of these in the museum right here in Lumiose! While the use is definitely frightening, it's extremely interesting! Able to store a Pokemon in such a tiny space! Though it is definitely fortunate that none of them work and scientists are unable to reverse engineer them, I can see that being abused real quick!"
