Summary
APokemonfan has created a pumpkin Poke Ball that’s generating a lot of buzz. Fans are talking about the design, how cute it is, and per the creator’s request, how the Poke Ball might work inPokemongames.
There are far fewer Poke Balls in existence than Pokemon, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t stand out. Some Poke Balls look like simple recolors, like the Great and Ultra Balls, but many designs have come along that dramatically change the basic look of a Poke Ball to better represent what they do. While some fans have taken this concept as far ascreating Poke Balls based on Pokemon, this artist found inspiration in the humble gourd.
Reddit user and Poke fan CarlThePumpkinMan shared their pumpkin Poke Ball, demonstrating what it looks like opened and closed. The Poke Ball does an excellent job of looking like a real, functional Poke Ball, while also strongly representing how real pumpkins look. The pumpkin Poke Ball is primarily orange and black, with a small green stem at the top and the center of the Poke Ball highlighted in black and being unusually smaller than the diameter of the overall Poke Ball. Most impressively, the ribs of the pumpkin have been detailed particularly well, with a rounded shape to each one.
What Would a Pumpkin Poke Ball Do?
Pokemonfans have offered ideas in droves as to what this Poke Ball could do. One of the most common suggestions is the idea of it having a boosted catch rate against pumpkin-themed Pokemon, Grass-type, orGhost-type Pokemon. Others have suggested that the ball could offer outrageous catch bonuses on just one day of the year - Halloween. Another fan took this concept in a different direction, suggesting that a Poke Ball for each season could exist, and this would be the fall season ball.
One intriguing concept a player shared was the idea that this pumpkin Poke Ball could be a unique Contest Ball exclusively for Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist. Depending on the size of the Pokemon, the Poke Ball itself would change sizes, potentially being tiny or downright huge in the hand. Another fan pointed out that if the Pokemon inside were particularly large, the Poke Ball could use the throwing animation forGigantamax Pokemon, with a trainer lobbing it over their head with both hands.
Pokemonhas helped to foster a ton of creativity and clever ideas in the fanbase over the decades.WhenPokemon Legends: Z-Alaunches, chances are there will be even more intriguing works emerging.
