How was Dragon Ball similar to pokeballs and their catching mechanics? I'm not seeing that similarity at all.

Never seen any comparisons between Dragon Quest and Pokémon. Do you have examples?

They might be referring to CapsuleCorp's capsules. They would store big things in tiny capsules, much like Poke balls work. I don't recall people or monsters ever being store in them, nor do I remember things forcibly being put into them at all. It's possible this was bigger on Dragon Ball, as a kid I was more familiar with Dragon Ball Z.
