>>24751664Pokeballs themselves are heavily based on the Red and Blue Oni from Japanese folklore. Red Pokeballs are cheaper but less effective, allowing you to chuck them at a Pokemon indiscriminately. This brute force tactic is inspired by the Red Oni. Great Balls are more expensive, but more powerful. Using a Great Ball is more strategic, but requires forethought and planning so you don't run out of money during the early phase of a playthrough. This resembles the Blue Oni, who relies on brains rather than brawn.
