Just wondering where Abra and Phanpy are coming from, as [http://pokefor.greenchu.de/meowth346/gbc/poke-balls/ Pokémon Forever states] "If the wild Pokémon is Magnemite, Grimer, Tangela, Mr.Mime, Eevee, Porygon, Dratini, or Dragonair, then Catch Rate = Catch Rate * 4.0. Please note that while these Pokémon have a greater chance to catch, not all of them can be found in the wild."

Do you think it's worth mentioning in the "in the manga" section about the existance of the Hyper Ball? Ash attempts to use it in the EToP manga at the end of issue 4, and is apparently very expensive. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 02:48, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Should Sir Aaron's Staff be considered a pre-pokéball object as well? Also, should it be noted about how time passes for pokémon contained within pokéballs? There have been a few instances where pokémon have spent of years, centuries even, within a pokéball/pokéball like object and not aging or feeling any sort of passage of time.

== Formatting Issues ==
In Chrome (haven't checked any other browsers), it seems as though the version tags ({{sup/4|HGSS}} and the like) mess with the height of the line they're on; for example, in the Level Ball '''Secondary effect''' area, "held" is lower than the "Cannot be" that precedes it.

== Capturing two Pokemon in one ball ==
I've noticed that Pokemon that consist of more than one organism, but are technically one Pokemon in terms of gameplay and mechanics, can still be captured in a Pokeball. Examples I'm thinking of are Kangaskhan (mother creature and baby, not physically linked in terms of biology), Dugtrio (three creatures without any visible physical link), etc. I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them at this time. So would this suggest that a Pokeball can contain and sustain more than one occupant? [[User:Soma K.|Soma K.]] 13:26, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
:You're not putting two '''''separate Pokémon''''' in one Poké Ball.  Even though they do have other parts of them that seem to be more than one, it's still only one Pokémon.  Actually, though, I'm only thinking of that with Kangaskhan--I have no idea about Dugtrio.  Maybe they're attached under the ground.  --[[User:YoshisWorld|<span style="color:#CC0000">'''☆ヨッシ'''</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/YoshisWorld|<span style="color:#FF6633">'''ー'''</span>]] [[User talk:YoshisWorld|<span style="color:#FFCC00">'''の世界☆'''</span>]] 13:34, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
I see where you're coming from. It's just something that could be considered. [[User:Soma K.|Soma K.]] 13:46, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
:That would apply to all of [[User:Taromon777/Multiple entity Pokémon|these]]. To be fair, we don't know what is under Dugtrio, so we can't assume they aren't connected (if you go with th 3D games and Seismic Toss, it is just the dirt that you see, so they would be connected). The idea is that things like Kangaskhan are treated as a single Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 13:56, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
== Inconsistency: Premier Ball Location ==
At [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Poké_Ball#Premier_Ball this point] it claims that Premier Balls can be obtained at the Pokémon News Press, but [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_News_Press#News_reporter over here] it lists Premier Balls as one of the five types of Balls that are not available there. I'm confused now as to which is right, so could someone who knows for sure fix it?
