>>
>>59538903
Don't slander the Tentacruel ball.
>>
>>59538903
That's a Great ball
>>
but that's the Kyogre ball.
>>
>>59538908
Oh you.
>>
Beast Balls are ugly and grossly overrated.
>>
ah, yes. the salamence ball
>>
>>59538903
all from johto
>>
>>59538929
???? The colors don't match Salamence's green at all.
>>
>>59538953
>green
the normal isn't green tho
>>
>>59538903
Built for Salamence, Latios, Drudgrion

>>59538911
Kyogre is Dive Ball
>>
>>59538903
Fuck you, Great Balls are better than Ultra Balls!
>>
>>59539029

Nest Balls kinda boring
>>
>>59538903
Do these red things serve any functional purpose, or are they just for decoration?

>>59539036
That's just Sweden for ya.
>>
>>59539114
probably decoration and to differentiate it from a regular pokeball and not make it just a pokeball but blue
>>
>>59538908
Great is okay, but amazing would be great.
>>
>>59538903
honestly the fishing ball is the one that sucks the most ass because its animation is no fucking different than the dive ball
>>
>>59539071
I like it, not a lot of options for green colored balls.

>>59539036
>>59538903
As for Op Lure Ball, Fast Ball Quick Ball, Net Ball

Tho net ball has grown on me for some kind that it matches, but that’s standard for every ball.
>>
>>59538903
This would look cool without the tumors growing out of it. This is supposed to be the ultimate ball. What were they thinking?
>>
>>59538903
>we have Love Balls at home
>>
>>59539251
the audino and shiny primarina ball
>>
>>59539193
Built for Mewtwo is why.>>59539193
>>
>>59538903
heavy balls are unintuitive as fuck. pokemon weights and the heavy ball thresholds are information you're not going to know offhand, so it's a total crapshoot if the ball is even helping you or if it's actually hurting your chances because you're trying to catch something that's too light.
>>59539151
the only problem with lure balls is that they're overshadowed by net and dive balls. conceptually they're solid with consistent utility.
fast balls would be top tier if they worked properly. pokemon fleeing is painful, it's the sort of situation where you want the odds on your side for a quick capture. but of course this only applies in games where pokemon flee.
>>
>>59539279
Mewtwo doesn't have magenta tumors in his design.
>>
I fucking hate the Friend Ball, that mohawk on the Timer Ball, Lure Ball, Great Ball, Safari Ball, Repeat Ball is horrendous and fuck the Premier Ball specially.
>>
>>59539293
Apricon balls aren't meant to be useful anyway, you're supposed to deal with their stupid shit to catch something in a cool looking ball. Moon Ball doesn't do shit to Lunala but I catch them in one anyway.
>>
>>59538917
Your mother is ugly and grossly overrated

>>59539036
The thing that sucks most of all about it is that the colors seldom match whatever Pokemon you catch 'em in, so not only does it signify your laziness, it looks uglier than any of the other Pokeballs that also have great catch rates but don't look like utter shit

>>59539193
>tumors
It's a standard Pokeball wearing the Wario Thong, get it right
>>
Repeat balls are the most boring balls by definition
>>
>>59539318
vivillon garden looks spectacular in a friend ball and it has a good summon animation
>lure ball and safari ball
well now I know your taste is shit

The ball that everyone in this thread is guaranteed to hate.
>>
>>59538908
Badum-tsh.
>>
>>59540134
they just went ahead and did that? ruined my whole playing experience
>>
>>59539036
Hate how they match Uxie colour wise but still look shit for her.
>>
>>59540134
Pink and blue are vaporwave, don’t let trans people co-opt our colors to pretend to be cool like gays did with nyan cat and the rainbow
>>
>>59539711
I caught Chi-Yu in one without the dex entry, it was painful.
>>
>>59539251
i love this ball tho
>>
every ball that is ass at catching pokemon sucks
>>
>>59539251
>we have dream balls at home
ftfy
>>
>>59540134
use male primarina and sneasler in that ball for the ultimate chudbait.
>>
>>59539293
You reminded me that in SM heavy balls are broken and have a catch rate of zero for specific Pokémon, like for example Beldum
>>
>>59538903
Timer
>>
whats the canonical explanation for why you cant just stuff 2-10 pokemon in a single ball?
>>
>>59544929
There isn't one and you can considering Kyurem, Caltex, and Tandemouse. Pokemon isn't a franchise big on explaining everything.
>>
>>59539321
the balls don't have unique appearances in gen 2
>>
>>59540134
Good thing it's not in any game I'd ever play
>>
>>59539521
>matching colors
Talk about lazy.
>>
>>59538903
I think the dusk ball looks like ass and I'm surprised that this opinion is unpopular
>>
>>59538903
Great ball is meh for almost every pokemon but then there's like 10 it goes perfectly with, also props for having a 3D pattern

Meanwhile the heal ball is plain ugly and completely outclassed by the love ball in every aspect
>>
>>59540134
>Can't mix pink and blue without people thinking you're trans
>Can't grow out your hair without people thinking you're trans
>Can't get a sex change without people thinking you're trans
They took EVERYTHING from us

What >>59544930 wrote. There's no official info about how pokeballs fundamentally function and why a ball couldn't hold two different pokemon or more. For all we know, the balls featured in the games and manga are just magical gachapon capsules able to force pokemon to shrink down, or in the anime high-tech devices able to convert pokemon into energy (the ancient anime-exclusive variants also rely on magic, but they would still do the energy-conversion thing).

My guess would be that two pokemon cannot occupy the same space, as the magic behind that wouldn't allow it, or this would result in some (horrible) fusion like picrel (hints at that being a possibility are Bill's teleporter or Spiritomb). Similarly to (or maybe exactly because of) how two sets of data cannot occupy the same save space. Well, they could, but then you have to replace said space with something that represents both while this new representation is neither the one nor the other. Differently phrased, a mix of both.

Regarding pokemon consisting of multiple entities, my guess would be that certain pokemon don't necessarily have to consist of one entity / soul / body / mind state, but can as multiple ones. Those "clusters" are for some species-specific reason stable enough to allow for the existence of multiple entities, without the danger of this cluster collapsing and merging.

The capitalist answer: Can't sell more pokeballs if you keep using the same one over and over again.
>>
>>59546205
the craziest thing about pokeballs is they can capture dead souls preventing them from reaching the afterlife
>>
>>59546371
In terms of Ghost Types or in terms of fainting?
>>
>>59544929
When I was a kid and only seen some random Pokemon episodes, I thought each trainer only has one Pokeball and stores all their Pokemon in it
I was even autistically mad that Jessie and James both has separated Pokeballs to store only two Pokemon
>>
>>59538917
they're hideous
>>
>>59545246
>this opinion is unpopular
maybe on planet retard
>>
>>59540134
clearly it's intended for suicide leads
>>
>>59546812
Kek. Good one.
>>
The regular pokeballs in S/M are not good.
It surprised me the first time I had breakouts on things in the red.
