1. "anything that requires an external aid, such as network connectivity for the communicative properties of cell phones,"
So if I'm understanding this right, cell phones won't work because they need a cell tower to bounce a signal off of, but walkie-talkies would work because they send signals directly to each other? Or do signals count as an "outside effect"?
2. "as well as anything that would create an effect outside of the device itself, such as high-tech guns or holographic projectors, will not function"
Does that mean that technology will not produce light anymore, since light is an outside effect? Or is light sort of grandfathered in? (I'm also guessing the whole "things that produce light always produce light regardless of power" isn't a thing anymore, like the lightbulbs scattered on the paths of Mt. Silver, since most technology needs electricity now?)
3. Are capture pods from Starbound similar enough to Pokeballs (they're basically shamelessly ripped off from Pokeballs to the point where if you showed one to a Pokemon character they'd probably think it's just a funny-looking Pokeball) that they would also function the same way? There aren't any in the game right now because Indigo didn't bring any, but it might become relevant in the future....
