That didn't make sense at all, did it? :cer_shifty: |
bring back heavy balls ^__^
|
I have always got only that first ball that Kurt gives to you after you win Team Rocket at Slowpoke Well. And if I have had too much time I have been there second time to have that ball what becomes from Wht Apricorn, I don't remember what's balls name. But I still like that apricorns are in HG/SS because those things belongs to those games. I don't use time for them but I don't know about others. I always use same balls (Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, maybe sometimes Timer Ball, Quick Ball and Dusk Ball and never Master Ball).
|
Keep the Apricorns and keep the original Pokeballs used in Gold and Silver. It would be silly to make a person wait an entire day for a Pokeball they can easily obtain in Diamond, Pearl or Platinum. I'll wait a day to use a Moon ball (which is used for Pokemon that evolve through a Moon Stone ex. Clefairy) rather than wait a day for a Dusk Ball (A pokeball used to catch pokemon in caves or at night.) Kurt's house is there for a reason. If you don't want to have the Apricorn balls, you don't have to.
|
God if we have to wait a day for these balls, I'll just ignore it like I did when they came out. I like the idea that somebody had of a step count to make the ball. However, if we had to wait a day then maybe it would be a good idea to give us the balls in bulk. Like 5 or 10 per apricorn. Another possibility could be that they allow us to give him more than one apricorn a day, and then we can pick up all of our balls the next day.
Oh and here's a question. Are these balls like, close to master ball status as long sa you lower the hp and have status infliction? Loads of people are talking about heavy ball in particular (to catch legendaries) so I'm under the assumption that you either have massive patience or the balls are really good. |
One possible problem is that if they use new balls, then Pokemon that were caught in them might not be able to get traded to the other games.
|
My bet's on the apricorns being used to create the new specialty Poke Balls, but then make them difficult to find otherwise (ie a few hidden on the maps, prizes, etc, but not bought from stores). I do hope they reduce the waiting time for the balls (or let you drop off many apricorns like in Crystal), though.

I liked the way the balls looked in the anime, I'm dying to see the effects of it in this game and the coloring of it
:t354:TG |
The one thing I'm curious about for those who think Apricorns will definitely be in HgSs, how will they handle the Pokeball on a Pokemon's status screen that shows what ball it was caught in? It's something that can't be changed like equipped items can (unless you cheat but that doesn't count), and we know that the data for Kurt's special Pokeballs isn't in DPPt, otherwise hackers would have found it like they found the Johto location data and Gold/Silver Hometown data. Making Apricorn ball-caught Pokemon untradeable to DPPt would be kind of silly, so I don't think that'll happen either.

Well...for compatibility issues there is 2 ways of solving this problem.
1. upon trading to D/P/Pt the apricot ball is replaced with a pokeball. 2. Upon first connection with D/P/Pt, HG/SS sends a download to the games, once downloaded D/P/Pt will be able to view the new Pokeballs, D/P/Pt will then do this to other D/P/Pt games. The reason that this is possible is because, in D/P/Pt, there is programed information for apricots, that is 1 of the many reason why HG/SS was predicted. |
So...I sought out this threat and bumped it because.....Serebii has confirmed that the Apricorns are back!
http://serebii.net/index2.shtml I personally love the idea of being able to grow the Apricorns in a portable container. I always remember it being a pain to run/fly/bike all over Johto seeking out my one Apricorn a day from each tree. Who else is excited that they're back?! |
I am absolutely 100% happy that they are back! This is one of the features that stood out to me in the old game. And the fact that they are bringing back the special pokeballs is even better!!!!! And the portable container?! SICK!!! It is such a great idea!!!
|
I was hoping that they would come back, I love the Apricorns, even though I never took them to Kurt because I was too lazy.
|
Dreams do come true I knew Apricorns would be back. But I wonder how will Nintendo program the DPPt system for Pokémon caught in Ap. Balls. They could just change it into a Pokéball when in other games. |
Yay it was comfirmed so they will be in hg ss
|
I figure since that Platinum and HG/SS were probably in production around the same time, the balls will be able to exist in Platinum. Not so sure about Diamond and Pearl, however.
|
^I don't think so, otherwise hackers would have found the data for Apricorn Balls within the games.
They'll probably do like someone else said and just have it appear as a standard Pokeball. That'd make the most sense. Though it's hard to say, maybe there'll be some sort of update to make the games recognize the new Balls (though that'd seem odd since they didn't do so for new forms). |
i think that growing the Pokéballs yourself is kind of silly. Kurt doesn't even grow them. he builds them. in my personal opinion, kurt should be the only one with the balls.
|
I love those Pokeballs! So cool looking. Especially the Love ball! I can't wait for Hg/SS to come out now. I've never had a chance to try apricorn balls because Johto is the one region I don't have the game for. Thanks for posting the link to the scans!
