4th Gen Apricorn Thread

[Red]

At least I'm not the only one with my mind in the gutter!

I support HGSS Apricorn Balls.

 

[Laprasas7]

I am sure that we are going to get original Jotho balls for Apricorns ;)

I support HGSS Apricorn Balls.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHa That picture is genius! It totally explains what we all feel :)

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

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!

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?!

 

[Samme!]

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!!!

 

[Retro Bug]

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.

 

[World King]

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. ​

 

[Mew~]

Yay it was comfirmed so they will be in hg ss

 

[Genghoul]

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.

 

[Ellie]

^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).

 

[Chris The Nerd]

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.

 

[Misty4Life]

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!

 

[Haza]

I wonder what purpose Kurt will have now. Maybe it will be for him to give u the container.

 

[GunSaberSeraph]

He'll probably give you the container so you can grow Apricorns for him to make into Balls.

Now that the Apricorn Balls were revealed, will the Gen III and Gen IV Pokeballs will still be in?

 

[GunSaberSeraph]

I don't see why not. FRLG had coding for all the key items RSE, even though none of them appeared in game.

 

[Åzurε]

Neat-o. I guess I was wrong. And I'm glad of it. I think they should have expanded the Moon Ball to work on all stone evolvers, though.

I wonder how you can trade from Johto, unless there was coding for the Apriballs in capture data, or maybe they revert to Pokeballs?
