Pokemon unveils official replicas of potty ball

Pokemon Company and The Wand Company release a number of official Poke Ball replicas. The two companies announced a series of Die-Cast Poke Ball replicas with plans to release copies of Poke Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball and Premier Ball starting in 2021. Each Poke Ball is made of metal and has a premium painted finish. The Poke Balls replica comes with proximity-sensing technology that makes the Poke Ball button light up when it detects movement. Additionally, pressing the button will change the light color of the Poke Balls or launch a Pokemon-capturing lighting sequence. Each ball also comes with a special presentation case complete with a numbered hologram for authentication and multicolored lights that light up when someone opens the showcase. You can check out the announcement video above.

The Poke Ball replica first appeared during Macy̵

7;s Thanksgiving Day Parade when a Pokemon Trainer held one of the replica Poke Balls up during a dance sequence. The show also served as an official tease of Pokémon’s 25th anniversary plans, which will take place in 2021. Although little is known about what the anniversary plans will entail, it will likely include the release of Pokemon Snap and a potential Pokemon Diamond and Pearl re-recording.

The Poke Ball replica costs $ 99.99, which includes a presentation case, stainless steel display and batteries. The Poke Ball replica is now available for pre-order on Zaavi, and a listing is live here on Amazon (it does not appear to be activated at the time of writing – it will likely change soon). In addition, the online Pokemon Center website will have an exclusive Poke Ball variant later this year. The first orders will be delivered on Pokemon Day (February 27) next year.
