This poké ball activated by the movement “ must never be thrown ”

The Pokémon Company International and The Wand Company are teaming up to launch premium replicas of the classics Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Premier Ball. These $ 99.99 die-cast metal balls feature proximity sensing technology that causes its button to light up and change color when pressed.

You might think that the purpose of a poke ball, of any poke ball, would be to be thrown, as decades of games and cartoons have learned – especially for one that is activated by movement – but not that ball, mate! It is not a toy. A replica weighs 10.5 oz, which according to the very first Google result is twice the weight of a baseball and 4.5 oz heavier than a cue ball. It is unfortunately described as having “real weight” and as being “reassuringly solid”. And in case someone again In the mood to throw one of his least favorite friends, The Wand Company has a ominous warning: “This Poké Ball should never be tossed.”

Did you think it was a promotional photo? No, it’s a threat.

The poke ball won’t open, which might make it a little less attractive, and it comes with its own batteries. It’s available for preorder now for an arrival next year, and there’s absolutely nothing threatening about this video.
