You mean the porygon episode!
Well everyone with their eyes open gets a seizure.
Oh yeah and some sort of mind control that makes the pokemon that just tried to kill you, your best friend.

There's a pun I need to make: What happens inside a pokéball, stays inside a pokéball.

I think both the data theory and the 'room' theory might be correct. It would be a digital space where they reside.

When I were younger, I thought the Pokémon simply shrunk, but now that we actually know what the ball looks like from the inside, it's clear that's not the case, and I'm quite inclined to believe in the theory about the Pokémons being stored as data rather than physically. That could also be a kind of technical reason to why Ash's Pikachu wouldn't want to be in a ball; the transfer must feel strange, if not even unpleasant, at least for the first few times.

That would make sense if not for one problem...

This is Iris' Dragonite. In the episode this scene comes from, she makes a comment about it and we see the reaction Dragonite makes towards it. It is also notably shrunken down in size to the Pokeball.

One way around this would have the Pokeball project a digital avatar of the Pokemon inside the ball.

An avatar would very well be possible. So basically the theary would be; they get made into digital information then they wait in a virtual space and they can be projected as a sort of avatar in the pokéball itself when they feel like it. Sounds sensible enough to me.

Not only this, but maybe certain Pokemon find these environments off-putting or unnerving, so they don't like to go into Poke-Balls after the initial capture. Like Pikachu and Wobbuffet.
