The Poké Ball (モンスターボール) is an item in Super Smash Flash 2 hailing from the Pokémon franchise.

Overview[]

When a Poké Ball is thrown, it deals 7% damage to opponents hit, and upon landing on a platform, a randomly chosen Pokémon is released. Each Pokémon has a unique effect generally intended to assist the player that threw the Poké Ball, such as attacking their opponents, inflicting different effects on them, or providing helpful items. There is also a 1.5% chance for the Pokémon summoned to be its "Shiny" variant, which has a unique color scheme and is accompanied by a rainbow flashing effect and pinging sound upon being released.

A variant of the Poké Ball item, the Master Ball, functions very similarly, except it has its own unique lineup of Pokémon that can be summoned.

List of Pokémon that are released from Poké Balls[]

These are the Pokémon that are randomly released after opening a Poké Ball:

Origin[]

Poké Ball (origin)

Official artwork of the Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball is a central item throughout the Pokémon franchise, orginating from its debut games. It is used by Pokémon Trainers to catch wild Pokémon, store caught Pokémon, and conveniently carry them. During battles, Pokémon are sent out by trainers by throwing the Poké Ball into the battlefield, which releases the chosen Pokémon with a burst of light. To catch a wild Pokémon, the trainer must throw an empty Poké Ball at them, causing it to open up and close with them inside, though this may fail if the Pokémon breaks out before being fully caught. Several different types of Poké Balls exists, which generally increase the likelihood of catching a wild Pokémon in specific conditions or have additional effects on the caught Pokémon.

Shiny Pokémon are variants of Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver. They are distinguished only by their unqiue colorations and are accompanied by a flash of stars or light and a pinging sound when encountered in the wild. Their rates of appearance vary between games but tend to be incredibly low, though as of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, they can be increased upon acquiring the Shiny Charm item.

Trivia[]

Togepi cameo in SSF2 movie

Togepi and Metang appearing in the SSF2 demo v0.9 intro.

  • Poké Balls also appear in the on-screen appearances for Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Pichu, in which the respective fighter is released from one, and on the stage Pokémon Colosseum, in which background Pokémon are released from them.
  • Out of all the Pokémon that can be released from a Poké Ball, only Charizard and Pichu are playable characters in the official Super Smash Bros. games.
  • During the development of Beta and just prior to his resignation, former developer Alex Tid Knowles ripped many animated sprites of Pokémon from Pokémon Black and White and spent about a week programming them into the game as incomplete designs for summonable Pokémon.[1] These include Onix, Chansey, Goldeen, Mew, Marill, Yanma, Unown, Scizor, Slugma, Celebi, Flygon, Combee, and Vespiquen. It is unknown whether any summonable Pokémon fully added in Beta were a part of this project.
    • Notably, Onix and Marill had custom sprites and scripts related to their functionalities, implying that they were the most developed of these Pokémon prior to Tid's resignation.
    • Sprites of several other unsummonable Pokémon could also be found in v0.8, including Ditto, Togepi, Plusle, Minun, and Metang, with all except for Plusle and Minun later appearing in the opening movie for v0.9. It is unknown whether these are related to Tid's aforementioned project.
    • Out of all of these Pokémon, Chansey, Ditto, Mew, Marill, Unown, and Celebi were later fully implemented as summonable Poké Ball or Master Ball Pokémon with custom sprites. Similarly, Scizor was teased during a development stream but not yet released. Whether any more of these Pokémon will be fully implemented is unknown.
  • Due to complications with some bugs, Poké Balls, Assist Trophies, Bumpers, and Explosive Tags were initially disabled for demo v0.9b and were added back in patch 0.9.1.1965.
  • Prior to Beta 1.2, due to the Master Ball item functioning differently, the Poké Ball could be used to summon Legendary or Mythical Pokémon such as Arceus or Victini, which had rarer chances of appearing. These Pokémon were moved to the Master Ball's lineup upon it being reworked to function like the Poké Ball.
