Since I barely touched nu Pokemon, there's something I wanna ask about Legends:Do the pokeballs in it just act like regular pokeballs? Like I know they're supposed to be apricots and shit, but in-game do they just function like the pokeballs from the main games? Because I always thought that one of the main appeals of a pokemon game set in an old period would be that you couldn't capture pokemon the normal way and you'd have to befriend them similarly to how Drayden explained it. From what I've seen, these wooden pokeballs just feel like a really shitty and lazy copout.
Actually, Pokeballs don't do anything and Pokemon shrink by themselves. This is literally true
>>59198977So why does the moon ball work best on moon stone pokemon?
>>59198991It doesn't work though, it increases the odds of catching a mon if it evolves with a burn heal or something retarded like that.
>unova's a third world shithole thus didn't get pokéball tech until a LONG way into the 20th century>spastic thought that meant pokéballs weren't created until the latter 20th century
>>59199046>the natives of the american region in Pokemon were uncivilized until the people of Galar colonized themYikes, problematic much?
>>59199416Sinnoh had blacks. Nothing matters anymore
>>59199416>white man in american expy region feasibly set near the new millennium>nativeHis nationality is Unovan, he's a FOB though heritage wise.
>>59199420Show one example of a native Ainu black person in Legends Arceus. And don't list the Galaxy Expedition Team, they're explicitly a multi-national group from outside of the region, the professor is a street shitter. This is well past the era where Yasuke existed on mainland Japan, it's set during the Meiji Restoration period.

>>59198977>>59198962the older pre-modern pokeballs simply take advantage of the pokemon's unique trait to shrink when badly harmed. The newer (modern) pokeballs uses light particles technology to store pokemon in them.
>>59199635>The newer (modern) pokeballs uses [ANIMETARD DELUSION]
>>59199046Drayden's claim was already dubious from the start because we knew as early as gen 2 that the oldest generations already had pokeballs made from apricorns.But it makes sense when you remember apricorn ball are, or were, handmade, and this is true in both gen 2 and Arceus. It makes sense places without apricorns like Unova simply wouldn't have pokeballs available until such a time as companies like Silph started mass-producing them, which as far as we know could have just been a few years before gen 1.
>>59199643magearna being made 500 years before modern kalos was a gen 6 pokemon movie thing way before it was said again in pokemon legends Za game, also hoopa liking donuts was a gen 6 anime movie thing before it was re introduce to pokemon legends za game.
>>59199675>>59199643like it or hate it the games and anime tend to collaborate on things regarding lore.
>>59199681Tell me again about uh whatever the third movie was
>>59199847You mean where Unown created an Entei? Similar to how Unown create a Dialga/Palkia/Girarina in HGSS? But the HGSS is a real one thanks to Arceus lending extra power
When were modern Pokeballs invented? Young Professor Oak used an apricorn ball in the 4th movie but that's anime canon. What I want to know is did Lt. Surge use apricorn balls during the war?
>>59199879Depends. Tajiri-era, recent as fuck, given humans only began seriously studying pokémon in the 1800's and only found out they shrank in 1925 (so about 73/74 years per then-universal lore).Modern era canon, some time before Legends: Arceus, long enough to afford Laventon catching/acquiring pokémon from the various regions they're found in, to then take to Hisui to give to the player, so possibly late 1800's/turn of the century (L: A takes place around the early 1920's).
>>59198962If anthing, they need to explain how the strange ball came to be. Why couldn't the Hisuian balls exist in the presents days?
>>59199900>Why couldn't the Hisuian balls exist in the presents days?The simple answer is the hisui pokeballs are insufficient compared to the modern pokeballs.
>>59198997That was on the original gold and silver, got fixed on gen 3 and later and will increase the capture rate of pokemon that evolve with moon (higher then ultra ball).
>>59199900Trading Pokémon allows you to transcend space, time, and the multiverse. Nothing in the story justifies the absence of old Poké Balls obtained through trading. The only plausible explanation is therefore Game Freak's laziness.
>>59199900Because the pokemon can't be uploaded to a pc from a hisuian ball(also Big League couldn't track what pokemon you were using if you were making use of unauthorized pokeballs that weren't connected to the grid and we can't have that)
