Code:
obj
    Pokeball
        name = "Pokeball"
        icon = 'items.dmi'
        icon_state = "pokeball"
        density = 1
//      verb
//          Throw()
//              usr << "Go Pokeball!"
        Bump(var/mob/M in oview(12))
            var/D = src.owner
            if(M.istype == "Pokemon")
                M.loc = locate(D.contents)
                usr << "<b>You caught [M.israce]"
                del(src)
            if(istype(M,/mob))
                del(src)
            if(istype(M,/turf))
                del(src)
            if(istype(M,/obj))
                del(src)
mob
    verb
        Throw_Pokeball()
            usr.ballininvo = 6
            if(usr.ballininvo <= 0)
                usr << "<b>Your out of pokeballs!"
            else
                var/C = new/obj/Pokeball
                oview(8) << "<b>[usr]: Go Pokeball!"
                C:loc = locate(usr.x,usr.y,usr.z)
                C:owner = usr
                usr.ballininvo -= 1
                C:dir = usr.dir
                walk(C,dir)
obj
    var
        owner = "Noone"
                
                
mob
    var
        istype = "Trainer"
        ballininvo = 4
        israce = "----"
mob/Stat()
    .=..()
    statpanel("Stats")
    stat("------Inventory------")
    stat(src.contents)


Problem description: as you probably noticed D.contents is undefined stat(src.contents) made me think that contents was an already defined variable so that i could make the location of the pokemon the contents but i cant so can someone tell me how to get this to do what its supposed to do and that is catch and send a pokemon to my inventory?

You haven't typecast D, so the compiler doesn't know where to look to verify that contents is a variable of it. It assumes it doesn't exist.

...you typecast it.
var/m //Not typecast.
world << m.density //Produces an error.

var/mob/m //Typecast.
world << m.density //This is fine.
