In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Professor Ivy]] was the first character to possess the GS Ball. She called upon the help of {{an|Professor Oak}} to study it, but couldn't figure out how to open it. Ivy tried to open it with hacksaws, hammers, crowbars, power drills and lasers, but to no avail. At one point, Ash tried simply calling a Pokémon to be released, but this did not work. The ball also couldn't be transmitted via [[PC]]. | In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Professor Ivy]] was the first character to possess the GS Ball.

In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] in 2008, it was explained that the GS Ball was originally going to contain a {{p|Celebi}} that was to be the star of a large arc of the Johto saga. However, it was decided that Celebi would be the star of [[M04|the fourth movie]], so the story arc was viewed as redundant and shelved. The ball was left with Kurt with the hopes that viewers would eventually forget about it. | In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] in 2008, it was explained that the GS Ball was originally going to contain a {{p|Celebi}} that was to be the star of a large arc of the Johto saga.

For every episode of the anime's [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions|fourth season, Pokémon: Johto League Champions]], three GS Balls are seen alongside the title card and the name of the episode. Each Ball is situated on a corner of the title card; there are two GS Balls on the two bottom corners and one on the top right corner. | |||
This contradicts what was revealed by the aforementioned interview with Masamitsu Hidaka, that the Ball was meant to be forgotten, as the fourth season aired after the last mention of the GS Ball in ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]''. | |||
