No... heck, where would the challenge be in catching Pokemon then?

...wait, there wouldn't be any challenge to it. Encounter Pokemon. Use item. The end. Seems a tad boring to me. (And then what would be the point of all of the other balls, then?).

I love all the different sorts of balls so there would be no fun in it to me. Plus the fact that it would take the drama out of catching pokemon...

In the way pokemon games are designed today, having infinite masterballs would be cool just for some seconds, but then the game would become boring. If a game/hack with buyable masterballs was to be made, the designer(s) would make most pokemon obtainable only via evolution. As for legendaries, you would hope to encounter them only after finding your way through a BIG maze.

If that were to ever happen, Pokemon wouldn't be about "catching" anymore, since it would be too easy. It would strictly be about the training and battling portion of the game.

Personally, one Master Ball is enough (maybe two or three, if you're lucky enough to get more). One of the great things about the Pokemon games is the challange that comes with catching Pokemon. If you could buy a Master Ball whenever you wanted, the challange is significantly lowered. In fact, well, as someone pointed out, there is no longer any challange, since obviously you could catch anything you wanted without fail.

I'll admit; I've always wanted a bunch, particularly for difficult to catch wandering Pokemon like Latios. Still though, having the challange associated with trying to catch those Pokemon is a good balance of difficulty for the game.

It'd make the game more appealing. I like having a lot of one thing - catch the masterball with the Pokémon, lol.

I wouldn't think so because then there would be no fun in the game. xD

If you could buy master balls then what's the sense in having fun by catching those legendaries?

To me it wouldn't be fun in buying master balls, but if it did happen it better be a high price, as high as possible. :)

No, it wouldn't. :(
For starters, what would the point in buying other Pokeballs? There wouldn't be a point, if you can just buy masterballs. As it stated in the game, they are rare Pokeballs that are hard to obtain, so where would the logic be in a Pokemart or whatever selling them? Also, how would they obtan them if Pokemon professors/Big Company directors etc give them out rarely to trainers? So, no, it would not be a good idea for the player (you) being able to buy Masterballs. It would ruin the catching aspect of Pokemon if you can just catch them in one go. It would be very pointless. :(

No.It wouldnt.beleive me,some of us Cheap gamers,grabbing any pokemon game we can for a Game Boy coz we dont have a DS,like me ( I have one NOW ) , was sure to have a pokemon Red version. and if you put the MasterBall in the Sixth Slot and encountered a MissingNo. or 'M ,The two well known glitches,you'd have WAY over 99. So i know what its like.No fun.No challenge.No point. if you own a Diamond or Pearl or Platinum,they're ALOT harder to catch.I mean,isnt it Mesprit that Runs and runs? Master ball is good for that.OR,Giratina.boy,i not got a copy YET but i will.but i seen youtube videos,he's a real pain.REAL pain. One is enough. trust me,all cool at first,then very boring,very simple.

Other Pokeballs would be pointless to include if you could buy Masterballs, and it would take the challenge of catching Pokemon right out of the game.

EXAMPLE:

"Oh, hey, look, it's wild Cressila!"

"I'll just use one of the 50 Masterballs I bought today!"


So, no, it would not be a good idea.

I think it would be okay if they cost 1000000 P... 'Cause the max is 999999.

...but still, what's the point of making them buyable at any rate? Sure, one doesn't have to use them... but I still see no point to change something that has been established by many a game to be a rare one-off item given to you just like that - goes against canon, and not everyone (read - new players) would simply ignore them either to keep the games somewhat 'challenging' to them. Besides, that's kinda missing the point of my post anyway. =/

(BTW if I remember correctly, in GSC you could get more... but only if you got a perfect win in the Radio Tower lottery - 1 in 100,000 chance, in other words if you hadn't traded with anyone (went by trainer ID numbers)).

If you could buy master balls, that just wrecks the fun and challenge of catching rare pokemon.
