What was up with this thing anyways? In the anime “modern” poke balls have been shown to have existed since a long time ago. That one ship captain who’s ship sank 300 years ago even had modern pokeballs. Why did Sammy have this weird twist-top Pokeball? Was it a prototype for the mass produced Pokeballs used in current times? Was it homemade or some kind of knockoff pokeball? What is the deal with this ball and why can’t I use one in any Pokémon game they look really cool
