[[File:SugimoriPokeBall.png|thumb|right|150px|A classic {{i|Poké Ball}} used in the modern day]]
The modern Poké Ball is created and manufactured by multiple companies and people. Currently they are mass produced by the [[Silph Co.|Silph Company]], the [[Devon Corporation]] and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Kalos]]. Silph in particular is known to have created multiple Poké Ball prototypes, including the [[Master Ball]]. However, they can also be made by personal machine, such as [[Hyde]]'s [[Cram-o-matic]], which was inspired by Kurt's ability to craft them with Apricorns. [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] had recently created the [[Beast Ball]], a special type of Poké Ball used to contain [[Ultra Beast]]s. He also mentions that the downstairs labs of [[Aether Paradise]] is where they develop new Poké Balls for "the sake of Pokémon conservation." The Cram-o-matic can create any Poké Ball at the time of {{g|Sword and Shield}} with exception of the [[Master Ball|Master]], [[Beast Ball|Beast]], [[Dream Ball|Dream]], [[Park Ball|Park]] and [[Cherish Ball]]s. The Item Printer found in the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[League Club Room]], is also able to produce multiple types of Poké Balls including those that the Cram-o-matic could not. The Item Printer requires materials dropped by Pokémon instead of Apricorns.

In [[Galar]], Poké Balls are affected by the [[Wishing Star]]s fixed onto a [[Dynamax Band]]. This allows Poké Balls to enlarge causing a Trainer's Pokémon to [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]], or capture a Dynamax/Gigantamax Pokémon when around a [[Power Spot]]. The Dynamax Band was created by [[Professor Magnolia]]. In [[Paldea]], Poké Balls can become {{Tera}}stallized, allowing a Trainer to capture wild Tera Pokémon in [[Tera Raid Battle|Tera crystal]]s. It has no other effect.

In the modern day, Pokémon storage has similar restrictions as they did in the past, with Pokémon Trainers being able to carry up to six {{i|Poké Ball}}s with Pokémon at once. However, the {{player}} character in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} can hold up to 6 Pokémon in their [[party]] with a seventh slot saved for either {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}} or {{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} having their own [[key item]], implying this restriction isn't completely canonical in terms of lore. However, that player may only use the six Pokémon available to them in their party.

The [[Pokémon Storage System]], invented by [[Bill]], is the modern equivalent to the pastures, where a Trainer can hold all their Pokémon when they have more than six in their party. These caught Pokémon will be automatically sent to a box in the [[PC]]. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, a prompt on catch will ask the player if they wish to move a caught Pokémon to their party or if they should be sent to the PC. The introduction of the [[Pokémon Box Link]] allows a Trainer to have access to all of their Pokémon in their box without the need of a PC. This item is no longer used as of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} and all Trainers in [[Paldea]], [[Kitakami]], and the [[Blueberry Academy]] have access to their boxes through their [[Rotom Phone]] instead. Both [[Kanto]]{{sup/7|PE}} and Paldea, as well as Kitakami and Blueberry Academy, lack any PCs that contain Pokémon management.

In Scarlet and Violet, there is no Pokémon Storage System, and all references to the function are simply just Boxes or Pokémon Boxes.
