>>49855767>it would destroy the novelty of actually catching the PokemonExplain. No one is forcing players to catch everything with a pokeball only, and why have for example apricot balls if you can only use them once and then loose the ball forever if the pokemon broke free?
It doesn't really add value to the pokemon unless the recipient actually enjoys the color combo. It's subjective value at its core. A Blissey in a love ball, dream ball or heal ball would all be great aesthetic wise, but even if the 'love ball Blissey' is rarer than the other two, only a niche group of people care. The people who don't, the ones who care about the aesthetics, and the less uptight balltist would actually enjoy being able to swap between all three balls until they find something they like.
>>49851102As a side note from the thread, trading value and 'challenge' isn't even a good reason or argument. If someone wants a challenge, play showdown with a team of Ledians and Magcargos against legendaries and eek out a win. If they want trading value they still have egg moves, nature, EVs, IVs, nationality, hidden abilities, and shiny status. Whether Eevee's in a pokeball, moon ball, luxury ball or love ball is moot considering what people are going to use it for. It's literally an aesthetic change, and if anyone wants the feature to have balance then just have it consume the desired ball upon swap. GF doesn't need to add extra lines of code in the game for 'pedigree', especially when they often cut features out if it's too complicated for them to implement. Pokemon are pixels on our screens goddammit, this is a game, why are people treating it like some real life stock market goddam.
