This is all speculation, but I think I know why he's "easily mistaken for a Poké Ball" despite being much larger than one. I think that there was an error in the Pokédex entry and that it should have said "easily mistaken for an item ball" (yes, I know that that entry was a direct translation from the Japanese... but maybe the error was in the Japanese entry). Think about it this way... in the games the size of an item ball is never stated (and it was never drawn to scale), but these item balls always contain small objects like potions and escape ropes, etc., right? Assuming that they don't work the same way as Poké Balls (how they're smaller than whatever is inside of them) and are more like real-world containers that hold items... wouldn't it make sense for an item ball to be about the size of a Voltorb? And in addition to that, in the game the player encounters Voltorb when pressing A on what he thinks is an item, not necessarily a Poké Ball.

== Tsukumogami == | |||
Today I've read that Tsukumogami [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukumogami] refers to Japanese folcloric belief that old item that reach 100 years old will aquire a spirit and become alive. This could be a trivia to Voltorb as it is the 100th Pokemon in the Pokedex. This concept also may relate to Ninetales and Banette.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span> <span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">Report To Me</span>]])''' 12:37, 20 March 2020 (UTC) | |||
