I'd like to have ALL these pokéballs! They would be an awsome addition to any collector ;)

@Djoing: I'm pretty sure that's just any Pokeball with some undisclosed limitation removed.

I have to ask, does the Color Ball change a shiny Pokemon to its normal coloration or not?

You could still use the color ball on genderless pokemon with no ill effect.

I love the Extra Ball idea. Would there be an upper limit on how many you could carry, I wonder? Because if not, I'd catch as many freaking ratattas as humanly possible. Those things are nasty against low-level 'mons.

I remember pokemon coliseum where you had to get rid of the dark energy on the pokemon and then take em. Very fun, that part.

Invisiball: They won´t see it coming and neither you where it lands... D:
Nah! Just kidding, pretty cool designs.

@Djoing: the snag ball only works on shadow pokemon and they were stolen to begin with

@Semi-Demifiend: Most genderless Pokémon can still breed with Ditto... But you could use them with most legendaries o3o

The invisiball would also be good for hiding the fact that you're a trainer anytime you make eye contact with someone.

First panel: This'll be kool.
Second panel: That's a good idea.
Third panel: Puddle of urine of floor.
Fourth panel: What the ****!!! Impotence for artificial shininess!? **** this!
Fifth panel: Pokemon Colosseum, anybody?
Last panel: And a prison ball would be worse for a pokemon then trapping them in some other kind of cramped, prison like ball how so?

Well, I have to say I'd definitely like to have the colour ball as well as invisiball too xD.
These would be awesome ideas though.

@Gamining King: In that case you misspelled sekond, Kolusseum and kramped! :3

A Good Idea
With the sarcasm taken out I think everything but the thief ball and MAYBE the extra ball would be completely usable in the next generation of games.

more ideas:
nurse ball- pokemon captured in this pokeball will be completely healed of status conditions once it is returned (basically gives pokemon the ability natural cure)
escape ball- with a high-powered return beam and DNA locking onto the captured pokemon, trapping moves and hazards are no longer a threat (can always be called back from bind, shadow tag, ingrain, etc.)
dual ball- higher capture rate for pokemon that have two types
coach ball- pokemon captured will receive twice the amount of EV's and experience earned in battle, but halves the rate of affection growth towards trainer

Prison Ball? Is that anything like Pokemon 4 Ever's Dark Ball? Or does this not raise them to the highest level/turn them evil.
Also, chiming in to the "snag machine" chorus for Thief Ball.
Wonderful comic, though.

I genuinely like ALL of these and do wish that Color Ball was a real item.

The invisiball and thief ball need to be combined. Otherwise, it would be too easy to track people who used thief balls.

Prison Balls
@Aura Guardian: I think the Prison Ball is meant as to be on the Opposite End of the Spectrum in comparison to a Premiere Ball.
Premiere Ball - Standard PokéBall of Love
Prison Ball - Master Ball of Hate!

hey can you do a comic about how other items would work? like how leftovers is just a rotten apple

Haha. The sales pitches at the end of each of them sounds like something you would hear from the Aperature Science Labs.

Oooooh...Colour Ball. Artifical shiny or not, it'd be nice to not go through like some people I know and waste literally years on specific shiny species. Even worse is when some of them want a specific gender and even a specific nature on TOP of that!

A combo of the Prison Ball and Frustration would make Frustration a usable move in competitive battling.

Coach incoming!
@guest: I Laughed so hard that I fell off chair when I read 'bout your coach ball haha, idk if you planned to make it funny but it is xD, in irl it also halves the affection towards trainer (coach).

in Colloseum you had that thing, Snag Device... or something? Which let you Snag other people's Pokemon :D but your stupid partner only let you use it on corrupted Pokemon :(

@guest: About the nurse ball. It does exist: They call it the Heal ball since Gen IV. More useful in the early parts of the game when you have less than the maximum of 6 carryable.

@Agent 1024
i was talking about every time the pokemon was returned, it would be healed of all statuses just like natural heal, not just the one time like heal ball does when you capture it
25 Sep 2012 04:28 pm
@GengarZilla: Um, no, that lets you get pokemon you already have, such as for breeding purposes. I had 7 pokemon in the manga, you can see that in the Best of Pokemon Adventures: Yellow manga
Reply
25 Sep 2012 10:58 pm
Pretty cool but...
@guest: It would be pretty overpowered. If it healed all status conditions instead, I could imagine it getting implemented. Just an opinion here, but I think status effects should be able to double up :/
Reply
26 Sep 2012 02:54 pm
They should make a revive ball, it would revive the pokemon so it could be caught right after that.
Reply
27 Sep 2012 05:34 pm
@Guest: Actually, it was perfectly capable of snagging any pokemon, but in the first game you had a girl telling you not to do it, and in XD you had a function installed on the snag machine (which could probably be overridden).

newbie trainer who has a lot of money:Hey look! Extra balls! Hmmmm... "idea pops into head" "Buys 100'000 extra balls" Later.... Elite four: Who's next? Newbie trainer: me! Go Magikarp! Elite four: this will be easy! SIX HOURS LATER... Newbie trainer: Go magikarp! Elite four: this is the 234th magikarp...OK you win! NOW GO! newbie trainer: yay!

This was supposed to be one of my simplier strips, but I gravely underestimated how difficult it can be to make symmetric objects. While it's not as straight-forward as my other strips, it's one of my older ideas so I hope there should be something in this update you like.
And yeah, still no ball to catch fainted 'mons.
