The Lemmy community for all things Pokémon!
Rules:
Mine are the Hisuian balls, specifically the Hisuian ultra ball. I just love the design of the latch, and the color palette used for all the balls. I especially enjoy the little flourish on the yellow stripes of the ultra ball!
What's your favorite? Any particular reasons why?
Quick balls, they’re super easy to recognize, and it’s what I spend the most money on during every play through
Hisuian balls are really beautiful, I love the handcrafted vibe they give off, it's how I always imagined the traditional apricorn balls looking in Johto.
That said, I'm a sucker for the basic pokeball, that's all I ever really use in games. Beyond that, I do have a fondness for the designs level ball and the lure ball, specifically, they have really nice patterns and colours.
The level ball is particularly nice.
I am also a sucker for the basic pokéball. I think it's the ball I use the second most, right after ultra balls. And there's always something so satisfying about catching a late game 'mon in a basic pokéball. No frills, no special bonuses, just me, the 'mon, and a good ole pokéball as Arceus intended.
I like having the same ball animation for all of my Pokemon and because I like to hatch trade a few of my favourite mons to trade into a new game for that sweet, sweet bonus XP, I sitck with the basic pokeball.
That black one is sick as fuck though, what's that one called?
In the attached pic? It's a Heavy Ball. Has a higher catch chance if used on Pokémon who haven't noticed the player.
The original Pokéball (Edit: or Master Ball).
Why do these have zippers on them?
It's supposed to be a mechanism like a suitcase or chest latch.
Now that you've said zipper, though... I can never unsee that. 😂
EDIT: The master ball is iconic. It's not that I don't like it, I just don't use it. Not out of some RPG-esque "but what if I really need it later?" kinda thing, I just... prefer not to use it.
I love the look of heal balls. They're basically useless but use them over any other type of ball
Lure Balls! They're such a fun design and such a specific use, they're super satisfying to us. It helps that most of my favorite Pokemon are fish
Given my undying love for the bug type you'd think I'd have used more net balls in my Pokémon journey, but uh... Nope. I don't think I've ever tossed a single net ball, ever. I should look into that.
The Cherish Ball looks really cool.
I always forget about the cherish ball.
