fainting

    Why can't fainted Pokemon be captured in the games?

    So realistically/mechanically, I know the answer is because whittling the Pokemon down adds more difficulty (in a pleasant way) than just knocking them out. But is there any in-universe explanation why you can't catch a fainted Pokemon in the videogames? As long as I've been a fan of the series...
