Stop advertising your shit please. We already had a thread on this today and it is obvious this is advertising, as this service is rather obscure and the same picture was posted before.

None. I just use Jakks Pacific foam pokeballs. They make most variants, and they're soft, so you can throw them at people without hurting them.

Also, enjoy your C&D from Nintendo.

PokeMMO has yet to shut down and every 'artist' on Etsy has Pokeshit they're churning out.

I doubt something this obscure and expensive will be shut down.

Shit looks cool though. If I had the money, I'd just go regular Pokeball. And maybe a Master Ball.

No, see. Those things aren't making money. Etsy stuff is a bit iffier, and it tends to sometimes attract attention. Some of it is licensed, though.

Sure it does. And you get perks in the game as well for donating.

So it's profiting off of Pokemon in some aspect.

Ehh, Nintendo's lawyers are random as fuck, to be honest. Remember how everyone got C&Ds for covering Black and White when it was released in japan, and they were posting screenshots? Despite the fact it was completely legal to do so... you know, it was press coverage.

IP law is gay as fuck.

I remember the pokefarm fad /vp/ went through a couple years ago, they actually asked you to donate money so you can buy shitty DA tier recolored sprites to add to your collection of Pokemon. The admin was also a colossal faggot and said Nintendo knew what he was doing and didn't care. Lel.

well, the top and bottom half are identical, just painted differently. the black ring in the middle is used to join the top and bottom, and the light in the middle is just a cheap led hooked up to the battery. The metal itself is made with a custom mold that I made.

I currently have red, green, blue and cyan leds.

As for the cherish ball well there's no question i'd have to modify my mold or make a new one. If only one person wanted one it doesn't seem worth it, but if the demand for them gets high enough though it could be a possibility in the future.

Blah. A GS Ball is possible, though, right? Just need Gold and Silver paint instead. Probably would look cool with yellow LED, but you don't seem to have that. I guess green could work as well, considering Celebi.

I'm still thinking about that price though. Are the materials really that expensive?

Yes a gs ball would be quite possible I'd have to charge a little extra for the un-conventional paint though.And I suppose if I looked hard enough I could probably get a yellow led but again that would cost extra.

It cost about 80ish dollars for the materials per ball and I do enjoy turning a profit for all the time and energy I put into each ball.
