I thought because of the $70 price tag, it would be insanely high quality, but once I realized it was an official Pokemon product, I knew it was only going to be a normal product, and $70 price point was just because they can.
Completely true, even if these emotional fanboys don't like hearing it I've loved Pokémon for 23 years but I'll say it when it's true, the franchise often makes below par products for a high price
@@PKMNcast Thats overpriced? You should see the Sonic Screwdriver replica prices. Somehow Complete Selection Modification Kamen Rider belts keep their worth with all the things they do
If you're ever feeling useless. Just know that there's a Pokéball with a hinge and latch on it that can't open. EDIT: Apparently a lot of you haven't seen: "If you're ever feeling useless" jokes on the internet. Calm down people.
I still have my Burger King pokeballs. They spring open and came with "gold-plated" pokemon plaques. Still one of the most lore-accurate pokeballs. Only downside is they have small stand-feet at the bottom, but oh well, I'd just hide em in my palm lol.

@@Nefariously_ignorant Just because people shouldn’t be stupid and get scammed 24/7 doesn’t automatically mean every stupid person out there will suddenly wake up and stop getting scammed. Besides, your analogy doesn’t work at all since sports aren’t a true scam, but elders who get calls, emails, and so on from overseas people claiming to fix a non existent virus in their computer is the textbook definition of a scam. So are you going to make up a bogus analogy about how elders with their deteriorating minds should just snap back to reality and stop getting scammed?
That part of pokeballs has never really been confirmed. I think the prevalent theory is that pokemon are able to change their size at will. Essentially everything knows Minimize. Also explains why you can be walking in grass that isn't as tall as the player (a ten year old kid in the original games) and not see something the size of a small car getting ready to pounce on you
Remember when McDonalds had pokeballs that opened and had a random pokemon inside? A damn fast food place put more effort into the toys than Nintendo does for their collectables.
Welcome to being an item collector, I'd welcome you into class but you obviously seem to not realize that's the ENTIRE point of collecting items. To have a nice shelf or decoration piece
As someone who owns this (Got it for Christmas,) it actually has real wood and metal. Kinda wish it was able to be opened but I can say that the sheer quality of materials makes the price worthwhile.
I really love the designs of the old fashioned poke balls. The latch on the front is a really nice touch that sells it as more old fashioned. I would like to see the poke balls from the Celebi movie return though.
Except it kind of is. I bought an officially licensed humidifier that's the ancient Poké Ball from Legends Arceus (shoots the steam out of the top just like in the game), and even with shipping from Japan it wasn't even $70. This one doesn't even open or anything, and the stand it comes with is pathetically bland for that asking price.
@@Beano__ I mean considering how advanced the technology is in the Pokemon universe, it makes sense for tech that would normally appear somewhere in the 1700s-1800s to be invented way earlier.
Sort've was hoping the one that doesn't light up , open, or so anything else would at least have a flappy clip. It looks really nice though. Best looking version of the Arceus ball I've seen. A lot have those weird 3d print lines or just sort've off color.
Imagine being so up in arms about what someone does with their money, lol. A lot of kids who have no work or disposable income, so they don't realize how easy it is to get shit once you're older. Plus, the materials on this thing are very good quality. Solid wood on a collectable is....quite the rarity.
For seventy bucks you’d think they’d put the hinge on a leaver on the inside of the ball to make it a full sphere like the games. This is just a fancy button on a normal ball with wood texture printed on.
Fun fact that ranges from not-so-useful to competely-useless: In the center of mexico, you can find pirate products and you obviously will find pokemon ones, the best part about it is that there are some pokeballs that cost 40 mexican pesos and ACTUALLY OPEN (and have some pokemon inside of them along with a useless tgc card)
No rugs on the floor, every wall is bare because pictures and posters are useless, not a single Christmas decoration. Sure bud, I bet you own at least 1 funko pop.
It's official, I just had the realization that I could in fact make one of these given the time, materials, and some practice. I haven't done much woodcarving, but this may be what gets me to really learn how Oh sweet Arceus I'm about to become Kurt and start making everyone Poké Balls, aren't I? Well, if I do, I sure hope I get paid, unlike Kurt
I thought because of the $70 price tag, it would be insanely high quality, but once I realized it was an official Pokemon product, I knew it was only going to be a normal product, and $70 price point was just because they can.
It IS insanely high-quality
It's a pokemon LICENSED product, made by polystone. Stop talking like "pokemon" is an entity, and everything is made from the same people.

Damn back in my day they were 200 pokedollars inflation is crazy
XD Truly so
And Hyper Potions, too, those hit points used to be 200, I tell you!
Isn't a pokedollar equivalent to one yen? Which is like less than one cent in the us
200 Pokedollars? Oh man
Na, it is because of speculators holding onto discontinued models
And you got a free premier ball with it too!

Fax those Burger King ones were fuego you took me back in time with that comment.
I had those as a kid, I can’t imagine what they’re worth now- back then they were just toys to us 💀
Brooo those were the SHIT! my mom bought all of them and I broke almost all of them pretending to be ash 😂

Grab a rat from the pokemon center and you're good to go lol
I like how adding wood somehow makes it seem old are even though it’s a laser that teleports Pokémon into a ball
I still don't know how they made that when electricity didn't even exist
Whats even more weird you trying to make scenes of a FUCKING CARTOON

@@DaeXbx true. Still love the games though
The fact that you throw it at a Pokémon’s head and and there just supposed to be fine with it and be your friend
it would definitely hit like a truck but pokemon are somehow fine after getting hit with it
Why dose that look like something someone would hold beer in?! 😂
I guess because the wood gives it a tavern/tankard vibe lol.
I have one of these too, and fun fact: I just realized that the wood grain pattern on the bottom is identical on every model.
Almost like it isn't wood
Does it open?
@@jeffbalcombeno it doesn’t open
It's not a wood, it's just a pattern

ye same

That was Burger King
and remember when the pokeballs in question caused multiple deaths among infants and young children?
What fine Hisuian craftsmanship.
For 70$ i expected it would project a hologram of a pokemon of your choice.
Ngl that would of been so cool
The community would have to craft that stuff themselves because company will do anything to not please their customers 😭
Now when you fail at catching a Pokémon you can say you just threw $70 away.
"NOOO! MY 70 BUCKS!"
"Alr my bad bro" **pikachu was caught**
sick balls bro kinda expensive though!
God, if I had a nickel every time I'd heard that
At least the other ones light up which is it's best function since it doesn't actually open up , this is just sitting there 😂🤣

Okay but $70 is a horrendous price for something that probably cost $15 to make
God legends Arceus was one of my favorite games. If only it wasn’t so expensive

They should make a PokeBall tea kettle like this, that way steam can come out of the hole on top when it's ready.

POV: *You are Steve waiting for the comments to descend down and claim that this is a waste a money then point out their hypocrisy*
I was going to originally comment that this seems pretty cheap compared to the others. I guess no glowing light dropped the price by $40 lol
its a waste of money, we cant deny it !
100 percent not worth 70

“But it opens, right?”

Pokèball, The Alpha Snorlax is paralyzed, 1m/5 chance, it’s at ONE health, the ONLY thing I need you to do, is CATCH IT.
"That Pokéball will make a fine addition to the collection..."
I DONT NEED IT, I DONT NEED IT. . . . I NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!
Why? You do know it does absolutely nothing correct? Maybe I should also clarify Pokémon arnt real?
70$ for a display pokeball... You're rich aren't you
But why tho?
Wow, that is an amazing attention to detail!
70 bucks for a pokeball? These outrageous prices bruh
This guy really paid $70 for a Christmas ornament with a soda can pull up tab on the front lol
Bro just image catching your dog and just taking him for a walk like that if it’s possible then I would be soooooooooo happy
Drugs were involved in that comment 😂
Now imagine a cheeper version of this with a firework loaded into the top so that it acts like the one in Legends: Arceus
Imagine making a poke ball with visible hinge and latch and it still don’t open.
I wouldn’t even pay that if it was made of infinity stones….
If I had this it would probably break in the next few minutes cause I will be like “PIKACHU I CHOSE YOU”
Or the wall

What pokemon you gonna catch
It even has a hinge and still doesn't even open.
When this Ball has better Graphics than the game.
I still love looking at mine, didn't think it'd be so HEAVY though! They need to make all the hisuian balls.
You can create high tech balls that shrink living creatures into microscopic size with a fucking stone and an acorn, like wtf!?
That’s more expensive than the actual game
