    I don't think there's a thread on this... I did search for one first, so if there's already a thread on this I'm sorry.

    Anyways, I think it's pretty self-explanatory. What's that one Poke'Ball that you just don't use. Ever. Or even a Poke'Ball that comes to mind that just is a really bad idea.

    For me, it's the Premier Ball. It's just a Poke'Ball with a slightly different design. It's also annoying to end up with so many of these things because of buying ten Ultra Balls or whatever at a time. It'd just be better if they were to give me a tenth Ultra Ball instead.

    i never use the return ball, probably because most of the time when i catch a Pokémon i don't really find the need to catch another - if i need another i just breed one

    Repeat Ball and Timer Ball. I didn't really use any of the Johto Apricorn balls either.

    The Heal ball is kinda silly too. But it's cute and pink, so it's not totally useless x3

    Interesting that you said the Timer Ball, because I actually love the Timer Ball. It sucked in the third and fourth gen, but since the fifth gen has changed it up a bit it works great, and the catch rate increases a lot faster than it did before.

    Really? I never bothered to use it in Gen 5 because I never found any use for it in earlier gens. Even when a battle dragged on for ages, the Timer Ball still didn't work well. So I just stopped using it all together; Usually by the time it was useful, I'd have already caught the Pokémon with a Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Dusk Ball, etc. That's interesting it got more effective in Gen 5, I didn't know that.

    I don't like the Premier Ball. It's just a recolored, special Poké Ball. The Repeat Ball, too. Not really useful unless trying for natures or genders. :s

    I never really liked using Heal Balls, since I usually walk around with a full party.

    I really liked Premier Balls in 3rd gen though xD Lol I just liked the different design, so it was cool to use early in the game

    Gonna go with the GS Ball. Unless you lived in Japan when GSC was out, it was useless xD

    Love ball, it's so gimmicky and there is very little use to it... Also other apricon stuff like Lure balls and Moon balls as well as other stuff like Heal balls too.

    The only one of Kurt's balls I actually use is the lure ball, and I caught my shiny dragonair with it. I have only used a heal/repeat ball when I mysteriously ran out of pokeballs without realising. Also, the quick ball is kinda stupid since most Pokémon you would use it on could just as easily be caught with an ultra ball.

    I rarely use Heal balls, and I just hate Premier balls. Premier balls are really just a re-color.

    I actually love using Heal Balls since they're so pink and gay and have this cute purple light that comes out. :3 Highly impractical, when a Great Ball is better, but meh, I love them. Sorry, I just had to say something about my favorite ball since it's so unloved.

    But back to the topic, I never really used Kurt's apricot balls either. They're not really cool. Maybe I used a Friend Ball, but yeah. I didn't use Nest Balls either.

    Fast Balls. I never use them because my Pokémon are faster than the one I encounter most of the time. I'd rather use a regular Pokéball because they're much easier to get.
    Heal Balls too. Yeah, it may be useful at the beginning of the game when you still have a lot of slots in your party but there's no point in using one when you have a full party since the Pokémon you catch will be sent to the PC anyways.

    I didn't really like the design of the Dusk Ball, I thought it could have been better without the green spots but it's an effective Pokéball none-the-less. I also don't really like the Apricorn balls and the Heal ball (I think it was only intended for the beginning stages of the game). I liked using the Premier ball for trying to catch legendaries but other than that, it is also pretty useless.

    I don't really care about the designs of any, but the Friend Balls I found useless. There are few enough Pokémon that evolve by friendship, especially in Gen 2 when it was introduced, and all it does it make the caught Pokémon like you more. Big deal. I've never used one.
