I'm not sure how long they've existed but if we take the Anime, then we know two things
1. Pokeballs used to be made from Apricots until technology advanced. One guy still makes them that way to get different kinds
2. Pokeballs have advanced over the years. Pokemon 4 Ever (I think that's the one with Celebi anyway) shows a young boy using an antique form of pokeball in the past that required turning a screw.
That said, it's questionable how they've worked over time because they apparently turn the pokemon into energy. Which raises further questions that I'm too tired to ponder.

Something Something, the pokemon naturally condense into that smaller form, and that's what gave them the idea to use apricorns and the anime one that needed the spoon or whatever
