>>29366221You're missing the fucking point, bro. Open a gen 5/6 save file in an editor and add a Cherish Ball to your bag. It works fine.
Add an Apricorn Ball. It doesn't do shit. They don't function as usable items whatsoever, they're just a sprite for HG/SS Pokes that have been transferred up and nothing else.
Fast forward to Gen 7. Apricorn Balls are now USABLE ITEMS once again with ANIMATIONS to accompany them. Work the rest out in your head.
