> Premier Ball

A very minimalistic pokeball design that looks very clean. Minus FireRed and LeafGreen, this ball is available [gen 3 and up] in all the main handheld and GameCube games. Making it almost as common as the Poke/Great/Ultra balls in stores.

> Repeat Ball

I don't like the line of black and yellow circles. Repeat also doesn't sound like a word that signifies uniqueness or importance.

> Timer Ball

I don't like the kitchen timer aesthetic or the big red protrusion. The release effect of clocks looks cool with Dialga or Celebi though.

> Nest Ball

The shitty brown and green coloration remind me of actual crap. The release effect of brown dust makes it look like it's farting too.

> Net Ball

I like how it looks caged with the black protrusions. The release effect of white webs is also one of the best effects.

> Dive Ball

It's pretty cool how it feels like an actual splash of water with a lone waterdrop jumping out the middle. It also has the most aquatic release effect and is perfect for water types.

> Luxury Ball

Gold, silver, black, & red colors make it look high class, but the protruding silver rim is a slight letdown. The release effect of gold lights is perfect for the wealthy 1% out there.

> Heal Ball

An ugly mish mash of pink, beige, blue, purple, and weird shapes. Not a good color combination at all.

> Quick Ball

The bold blue and yellow design looks very comic-book-like for some reason. The release effect of tornado wind also looks badass.

> Dusk Ball

A great ghoulish design all around, but the missing green circle on the backside makes it look unbalanced. The release effect looks viciously evil and is great for intimidating-looking pokemon.

> Cherish Ball

The ruby and black applecore design is pretty badass. It's highly associated with rare event pokemon with unobtainable moves, abilities, shinies, and legendaries. Like V-create Mega Rayquaza for example.

< Park Ball

It's not actual pokeball that can hold pokemon, so it doesn't really matter.

> Dream Ball

I like Musharna, but not enough to use a pokeball based around her. The smoky release effect is kinda genie-like, but very pink.

> Beast Ball

The worst protrusions of all, and the plain black circle on the back just looks out-of-place. The release effect is very cybernetic and cool though. It's most associated with powerful beast pokemon, but has the worst rate out of all the pokeballs. A potential .1x for nonBeast pokemon that's even weaker than the regular Poke ball.

Thousands of pokemon get traded via wi-fi everyday, and sometimes you can get some really great pokemon in some really crappy pokeball designs. This thread was the result of me just thinking about which ones I personally liked or hated the most.

USDA certified 100% pure autism

tfw major Balltism and can't use anything but Pokeballs and MAYBE Premeirballs on special Pokemon

I've always preferred Goodra's balls.

>Which Pokeballs are your favorite ones?

Premier balls, especially for shinies (though i'd use a master ball for legit ones)

Net balls, because bug is my favorite type

>>13739131

I try to catch everything with either premier ball or the classic red. Any other poke ball is gaudy.

>>13739295

I'm just about there same except legendaries have to be in premier balls.

>>13739157

That was fast, good work anon

>>13739369

Yeah, I can relate to that. My starter is always in a red Poke ball, and so are the other pokemon I catch very early on. I think it looks nice how they all have matching designs, so I start to use the standard Poke ball for everything afterwards. Plus, they're super iconic and always inexpensive in every game.

But for legendaries, I always go with Ultra. In the anime, they were pretty badass in how they caught a Mewtwo in Pokemon Origins and a Deoxys in Pokemon Generations. The Master ball couldn't even catch a fucking Whiscash.

*skip halfway into the video*

>>13739131

i havent really played pokemon since diamond and pearl, aside from mystery dungeons. its kind of blowing my mind how gorgeous this looks.

i think we had luxury balls back then, but wow that thing is sweet in 3d. its like some kind of fancy chinese dinnerware. it feels like the moon could come out of that thing and suck my dick.

cant you just take the thread seriously?

>>13739339

How big are they?

>>13740929

Nah, it looks like undies on a pokeball

>>13740904

No, considering this thread belongs in /poke/ or whatever board they have.

>>13740939

>don't talk about video games on /v/

Fuck off.

The only good balls are regular and premier, with luxury at a close third

Also the master ball is for mewtwos only

Everything else is hot garbage

I loved using the Luxury Balls to catch pokemon I knew I would use on my team. Quickball was also an often used ball. All my legendaries were caught with ultra balls. I never used the other balls much. They were time intensive to get sometimes and didn't have significant difference in their catch rates to be worth the investment.

>fossil mons can't be obtained in anything else

ACTUALLY

There was the dream world in gen 5, which allowed you to use your own balls to capture dream world pokemon, so the fossil mons can be in any gen-5 ball.

I know this because I have a case of crippling balltism and can't allow my pokemon to be in standard pokeballs

>>13741055

what's with his accent?

>It's not a low-effort thread with guaranteed shitposts about things not related to video games so it's bad REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Off yourselves.

>>13740947

>talk about videogames

sure

>talk about autistic shit that doesnt deserve its own thread

no

>>13741145

The noose is waiting for you.

>>13739131

I really want to use regular poke balls for all of my mons simply because I feel like I'm cheesing using balls that increase catch rate. Also seeing that one or two great or ultra ball in your team of regulars grinds my autism gears.

Hate how they changed Timer and Repeat balls in the recent gen. And Quick Balls to a certain extent.

I made a quick guide of what they all look like in Sun/Moon (except Poke and Great). Older ones mentioned in case they change next gen.

Nest: Green flash, some white smoke/dust (used to be green energy while the Poke's sprite faded in from yellow/orange).

Luxury: Golden flash & shiny sparkles

Premier: Golden flash (used to be red)

Repeat: Orange flash and yellow arrows spinning around a'la the recycle symbol (in past games, used to be an orange flash with black balls with thick yellow boarders flying out)

Timer: Red flash and clocks (IIRC, used to be a white/grey flash with a red clock overlayed)

Net: Blue flash and white web/net lifts away (or casts over when withdrawing).

Dive: Bubbles

Dusk: Purple flash Dark cloud swirls (used to be purple flash and purple/black "lumps" of energy flying away)

Heal: Pink flash

Quick: Blue flash with a blue spiral/rings around the Poke (used to be a blue flash and a blue/yelllow spinny thing IIRC)

Fast: Blue flash & blue sparkles with some focus lines

Level: Blue flash then rainbow colored sparkles (no idea what it used to be)

Lure: Blue flash and splashes of water (the splashes of water a lot more subtle compared to the dive ball)

Heavy: Blue flash then grey hexagons

Love: giant pink hearts

Friend: Green flash & green circles

Moon: Blue flash fades to yellow moon cresents

Safari (transfer): Green/Brown flash- with some white smoke/dust kicked up.

Sports (transfer): Green Flash with a Net like the Net Ball.

Dream (transfer): Pink/Purple cloud

Ultra beast: Dimention explosion thing.

Remember if the parents are different species, then the mother effects what Pokeball the baby will have in breeding. If both parents are the same species- then it's 50/50.

>>13741169

There is nothing to talk about regarding poke balls

What is there to talk about?

>>13741455

What do you think they taste like haha

>>13741482

It wasn't a pokeball at all so shut up

>>13739157

>raptor

>mammal benis

>>13741532

You organize trades here?

I'd have figured the Poke threads were too rare, and a general would be unnecessary (not to mention Pokemon boards are dead).

Luxury balls go to shinies, premier balls I used to use for legendaries but ever since the dex nav I've used them on those pokemon.

Of the two I think I like luxury more for the value it gives a pokemon. Close second is the timer ball just because I really like the look of it.

>>13739369

> can't legally be obtained in anything else.

Actually the male parent is supposed to determine the child's pokeball.

>>13741124

You're the only one implying it's bad.

>>13742279

Inaccurate, as of Gen 7:

>For same-species breeding, there child will inherit one of the parent's pokeballs with a 50/50 chance for each.

>For cross-species breeding (non-ditto), the child will inherit the mother's pokeball.

>For breeding with a ditto, the child will inherit the non-ditto parent's pokeball.

And prior to gen 7, the child would always inherit the mother's ball. Since both species and ball are determined by the mother when breeding cross-species, you can't breed a ball onto a mon that can't otherwise be caught with that ball. You have to either start with a female in the ball you want or a male and breed it with a ditto.

Also, cherish balls and master balls can't be passed down and child mons are in regular red pokeballs even if their mothers are in one of those types.

>Shitting on the Heavy Ball

How about you just fucking kill yourself you faggot

I just like Premier, Heavy, Timer, Quick, Heal and Cherish all for the most obvious design and presentation reasons. Not surprised with my shit luck they fucked up both Premier and Timer in my eyes.

Dusk would be one of my favorites, but it's fucking ugly in everything but actual flair.

now I want an IRL pokeball

There are some cheap ones on aliexpress (0.97€/each during the 11.11 sale)

What material do you think pokeballs are made of?

>>13747404

>What material do you think pokeballs are made of?

Just wondering, haha

>>13747404

Game Boy cartridge plastic held together with cummies and string

>>13747404

> What material do you think pokeballs are made of?

This is the anime's answer, if you're really curious about it. They're made from a metallic sand-like substance, lasered and compressed into grayish metal pokeballs, and literally just spray painted to look red, white, and black. Mass produced in a huge assembly line.

> So the answer is probably just some type of metal (I dunno, maybe something from the periodic table or some shit) and some reflective spray paint to color it red, white, and black.

>>13748959

Meowth is definitely a (((pokemon))), alright. Do you not see the japanese shekel he wears on his forehead?

>>13748959

There are several Oy vey episodes, actually.
