Some logical thinking...

[Tornado]

Yes, lets get the brains working here.

So, lets say that either you where in the anime or movies, or pokemon was real ok?

You get a say, Charmander. It feels scaly like a little lizard, but is warm blooded instead.

So here the problem.
What does a voltorb feel like?

 

[Spinor]

Voltorb would feel like an armadillo's shell with a side order of "Electric Ownage"

If you don't believe, try to touch one...

Sorry, that was disturbing. @~@

 

[The Ebon Blade]

that;s a good question... its not a steal type.. maybe it has fur? or maybe its leather?

 

[Vernikova]

My impression was always a metal ball. Nothing else.

 

[Editman]

Yeah Maybe a smooth feel I guess.

 

[Kokuo]

I think it would feel like plastic.

 

[The Ebon Blade]

My impression was always a metal ball. Nothing else.

ya but then wouldnt it be atleast part steal? or at least have good defence? it doesnt have any of that.

 

[Artemis]

I always thought it would be smooth and have a cool feel to it, as for charmander I never trally thought of it beeing scaley, but soft and warm...

 

[joehat]

Well do they ever say what Pokeballs are made of? I would think that would be what Voltorb feels like. Or maybe it would feel like one of those..those um..

this thing

 

[Jmath]

Actually, no one ever finds out. They get blown to smithereens before the thought even registers.

 

[.:Kanto:.]

I'd imagine Voltorb being metal... o_o

 

[Giratina ♀]

I always made the connection as 'Voltorb/Electrode = metal sphere'. So I guess it would feel like metal... Charmander never registered as scaly. I thought his skin would feel somewhere in between leather and human skin.

Yeah, I always just thought that it would feel like a Pokeball. Well, I haven't ever thought about it haah but that's what I reckon.

 

[matt561]

maybe Voltorb would be made from a composite alloy?

like a non magnetic metal

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

What would Bulbasuar feel like, too? like, a frog?

Well, Pokemon don't have to be part steel to feel like metal. And anyway, Voltorb was 1st gen, when they didn't have steel types, so it could be metal. ^_^

I always thought it would feel like either metal or plastic, I guess. =]
