Game Freak andNintendoreleasedPokemon Legends: Arceusover a week ago andPokemonfans are already celebrating the latest title through fan art, cosplays, and other incredible creations. One such fan recently designed several Poke Balls based on the old-fashioned tools used by Pokemontrainers inPokemon Legends: Arceus.
Reddit user JoeHeroOfArdania recently shared their version ofPokemon Legends: Arceus' Poke Balls, sharing five different types of balls in total. The standard Poke Ball fromPokemon Legends: Arceusis featured alongside JoeHeroOfArdania’s physical forms of the Heavy Ball, Luxury Ball, Premier Ball, and a unique invention that combines pink and green. ThePokemonfan has created two different types of Poke Ball replicas, with one containing various dies for tabletop gaming and another holding Nintendo Switch game cartridges.

Although the normal version of JoeHeroOfArdania’s Poke Balls is meant to contain dies for games such asDungeons and DragonsorWarhammer, the artist has confirmed that their Poke Balls can be easily converted into game cases made forPokemonfans. JoeHeroOfArdania has stated that they’re selling thesePokemon Legends: ArceusPoke Balls for $50 each but hasn’t confirmed whether they have an Etsy or other type of digital storefront. It’s currently unclear how many Poke Ball replicas JoeHeroOfArdania intends to make, but there are severalPokemonfans already sending in requests.
The typical dice Poke Ball from JoeHeroOfArdania will be able to hold a mix of seven dies, while the Nintendo Switch game cartridge case can pack up to sixteen games. Because there are only seven totalPokemonNintendo Switch games, this leavesPokemonfans who are interested in the game cartridge ball plenty of space to store other games.Pokemon TCGfans will also be able to use the JoeHeroOfArdania Poke Balls if they choose to use dice rather than a coin for deciding certain attacks and their effects.
Other than the basic Poke Ball, the balls JoeHeroOfArdania’s recreations are based on each serve their own purpose. The Heavy Ball is meant to be thrown at unsuspecting Pokemon at short distances, the Luxury Ball historically allows players to form a deeper connection with the captured Pokemon, and the Premier Ball is typically a commemorative item. JoeHeroOfArdania’s pink and green ball doesn’t seem to be affiliated with any of the balls featured in anyPokemontitles, but it may be a proof of concept for fans interested in customizing the appearance of aPokemon Legends: ArceusPoke Ball.
