As most of us know, during the post-Johto era, the GS ball was just a device for obtaining Celebi. This plot arc was later dropped in favor of Celebi being the main star in the fourth film. Now the GS Ball is at Kurt's place, while movie Celebi nearly died and flew off with the other Celebi. Even though it's been years, the GS Ball has had far too much build up to be ignored or forgotten (it was deemed as Ash's luckiest item (and a lot of that could've 180'd his many losses) and the reason he set foot in the Orange Islands in the first place).
Realistically, the ball didn't have much purpose in the first place (like Spiky-Eared Pichu). But since it's only purpose was shafted in favor of movie promotion, what purpose or feature could we give it for it to be relevant again?
-Let it catch any Pokemon? No. We have the Master Ball for that, and the writers aren't about to give that to Ash.
-Have it increase Pokemon happiness? We have the Luxury Ball, and the anime has the trainers do all the work.
I don't know how well Heal Balls or Luxury Balls work, but any purpose is better than event activation/nothing. It is a Poke Ball.
