I always liked the way the Premier Ball looked so I'll go with it as my favorite.

Speaking of Pokeballs, If I'm playing through a 3rd/4th/5th Gen game, I always try and have each of my team members in a different style Pokeball. It's just fun to do for some strange reason. I also find myself putting certain types into certain style balls such as Water in Great, Electric in Ultra, and Psychic in Heal.

I allways use Ultra Balls, cuz I like the color :p I also like Dusk Balls, but I only use them at night and in a cave ofc. And I always try to save the masterball as long as possible :p

Great/Ultra balls are part of a conspiracy.

Not really...


Hey, if you're lucky and patient you can get a pokemon on the very first regular bokeball thrown.

If not, then you could wind up throwing 7-10 more.

And even then, lets say I just threw 20 pokeballs at Volcarona.

Each ball is 200$

That comes out ot a grand total of 4000$ to catch.

Meanwhile, I throw 5 Ultra Balls and catch Volcarona.

Each Ultraball is worth 1200$

Thats a total of 6000$

The only thing you're saving is time really XD

I use specialized pokeballs for tough, or annoying captures, such as roamers and healers.

Other than that I go anime style, all pokeballs.

Yeah, that is fairly ridiculous. what happens?

(groudon on 1% health) Treeko uses quick attack!

Groudon faints.

Trainer - "Yay, finally after hours of fighting this dinosaur thing I can -"

Groudon melts into a pool of nothingness.

Trainer - "wut?"

Maybe there sould be a fainted ball, which catches fainted pokemon, but it should be one of a kind per game.

It would be awesome to have a pokeball like that! Also, it kind of defeats the purpose of having legendary pokemon as they are suppose to be "one of a kind" But seeing as you said only one per game then why not.

Personally, my favourite Pokeball is Quick Ball.

However, I once had a dream to catch every single one of my Pokemon with a plain Pokeball, guess that didn't work out for me.

Quick balls are handy, especially when I'm RNGing shinies. Handy handy pokeballs to have.

I allways use Ultra Balls, cuz I like the color :p I also like Dusk Balls, but I only use them at night and in a cave ofc. And I always try to save the masterball as long as possible :p

Ditto, I try and save the master ball for a special occasion where it comes to a point where I don't need it anymore.. (as in I've caught all the in game legends ._.)

I think they should design special Poke Balls for every type, like they have the Lure Ball for Water-types. They should also design a kind of Ball that works best when used against a Legendary Pokemon.

My favorites are the master ball, because I can catch roamers. Quick balls so I can catch Pokemon fast.

I like Cherish Balls. They look cool. O, and I like Premier Balls a lot too.
But I only use Premier Balls to catch my favorite or main party pokemon. ;216;
 
I don't care, I just throw them.

For some reason I love the Luxury Ball. It's such a neat concept, and whenever I'm trying to catch a Pokemon I know is going to become one of my favorites I like to use one but it's no better than the average Poke Ball so it's fairly useless. Heal Ball is nice too, even though it's completely useless. I just love the color pink :)

My most commonly used ones are Ultra and Dusk. I think Dusk would be my favorite, because I like the dark rays that come out when it opens. Other then those two and the poke/great balls, I don't use many other types commonly.

I think it'd be cool it they had more and better seals (from D/P/Pt, if you didn't play that one). Like the Electricity seal would actually look the electricity from an electric move. And it'd be nice if you didn't have to take them off before each deposit.
Thats a total of 6000$
Meh, the cost never really mattered to me, but I always spam the Amulet Coin/Luck Incense.

When I first heard of Timer Balls in 3rd gen, I thought they sounded great, but then I found out that it takes forever to get the time affect, and they've never worked well for me. Plus I don't really like the little clock thing that appears when I use one.

I really only use ultra balls and dusk balls. Or as long as it will catch the pokemon i could care less what ball i use.
