Talk:Poké Ball

someone should put the effects down somewhere, like on separate pages
e.g.: Articuno (pokeball)
-or something like that, and link it from this page. Thoughts? It would be a nice addition, and I want to get the go-ahead before I decide to do one. (and maybe some tips on the exact format that should be used, like: category, liked from this page, etc.)--Respawn 01:13, November 8, 2006 (GMT)

I agree. We could have a Pokémon category, a Pokémon (SSB) category, a Pokémon (SSBM) category, and, when some get revealed for SSBB, a Pokémon (SSBB) category. WaluigiIsAwesome 22:11, January 1, 2007 (GMT)

I agree with the idea also. It could be possible to do that. The Magnum Master 17:20, January 14, 2007 (GMT)

Eevee and Darkrai and Cherrim confirmation.

This video confirms their appearance.

Gulpin

I saw the Wifi 6 video and it had Gulpin in it and releasing a gas cloud then dissappearing.As seen here.

Jirachi

I was on youtube and I found this video about Classic mode. After you complete it, there are the credits. As it goes on it shows who did the voices of the Pokémon. Then when looking at the faces of the Pokémon you can see Jirachi's face.See here for yourself. Its face is next to deoxys's.

Possible inaccuracy

Some players who have "hacked" Brawl have determined that there is no data for Onix, Shaymin or Regigigas whatsoever. And as far as I can tell, the only reports of those three are from bloggers who went to E for All and JumpFesta, so they could have lied.

Can someone with more access look into this and fix it? Thou Hath No Honor 19:09, February 5, 2008 (EST)

I heard that they are making a new game of Smash so pokemon like zekom and reshiram and maybe some more legendary pokemon are going to be in the game.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandvich9 (talk • contribs)

Brawl Pokemon Encyclopedia

I am a total noob to editing on wikipedia and creating a talk page so ill dive right in (correct my mistakes please). Shouldn't we note that in brawl all of the Pokemon are listed and this is the first time ever in smash history that there is a official list? 69.132.87.99 23:33, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[1] and [2] disagree with you. --Phred (talk) 04:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Sounds on appearing?

I thought it made the sound when it bounced, not appeared. I wuz wrong? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 10:32, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Odds of pokemon

Does anyone know of any studies done to find what the odds of getting each pokemon are? I think that would be useful info to add here. If it hasn't been done I could do it myself but it would take time and we would still need someone to verify it. Thoughts? Radixerus (talk) 05:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, that's very interesting. The only ones that are confirmed is Mew, Celebi, Jirachi is 1/493 in SSBB, Mew and Celebi is 1/251 in Melee, and Mew is 1/151 in the original. (these are based on the amount of Pokemon existing during the time frame in which that specific Smash game was released) Friedbeef1Screech 01:12, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

yeah, i think it would be nice to have the odds for each pokemon. I will try to do this in a way that I can document my research.Radixerus (talk) 02:03, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Cool. Go for it. :) Friedbeef1Screech 02:04, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Jirachi glitch

One time when I started playing SSBB and before the intro, I got the '1st Jirachi encounter' message.

WHAT?!?! X9001

Wii Boab (talk) 20:41, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

That was because the last time you (or probably someone else in this case) found Jirachi while playing, and must of shut off the Wii before the person could get the message. Just getting that message out of nowhere sounds pretty confusing, no? HavocReaper48 20:45, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Okay. BTW, i'm the only person that plays on SSBB in my house. Other than that, totally fine. :)

Wii Boab (talk) 21:34, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

1st?

In the trivia, it says the first pokemon summoned in versus will be the first in training. what does that mean? 25T16 It's-a me! 13:13, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

I believe this is specific to Melee, but iirc the idea was that what Pokemon comes out of a Poke Ball in training will be the first one to appear in versus mode. Miles (talk) 14:41, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

Pokémon frequencies

Pokémon with a given frequency of 0 are assigned a combined 1/493 chance of appearing, independent of the rest of the frequency system.

"Combined" implies that the individual Pokémon each have a chance of (1/493)/3. Is this really the case? Either way, the sentence should be reworded less ambiguously. - Ceci n’est pas un Smiddle. 15:31, 23 June 2013 (EDT)

This edit I made implies that the game does a 1/493 chance and then picks one of the three superlegendaries. I don't totally remember though, will see if I can wade through things and find it again. Toomai Glittershine The Emissary 15:36, 23 June 2013 (EDT)

Mew, Jirachi and Celebi state that each one has a 1/493 chance, inconsistent with this. - Ceci n’est pas un Smiddle. 15:41, 23 June 2013 (EDT)

Relative frequencies to actual probabilities

Here I'm calculating what effective probabilities correspond to the relative frequencies. It's a lot more useful for the reader, and also easier to interpret. Is this of interest? If so, I'll complete it. - Ceci n’est pas un Smiddle. 08:30, 24 June 2013 (EDT)

A theory about certain Poke ball Pokémon inclusion

I have noticed something interesting in three particuliar Pokémon (Chikorita, Torchic and Piplup) 1: The three are starters 2: The three are from different generations (2, 3 and 4, respectively) 3: Chikorita, the first starter introduced, is Grass-type, the Grass-type for every starter is always first in the Pokedex. Torchic, Fire-type, was introduced in generation 3, and is fire-type, the second Pokémon in every Pokedex. Piplup, the last one, is from the 4th Generation, and is Water-type, the last of the three. Do you guys this could have been on purpose? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cosmolguy777 (talk • contribs) 23:54, 21 September 2013

Although probable, Nintendo doesn't seem to be too obsessed with completing parings, as seen with the removal of Raikou, Articuno, and Zapdos. It is also very possible that Nintendo just wanted to choose starters and coincidentally chose Piplup and Torchic just to avoid heavy generation bias and because Piplup sliding is actually imaginable.

Goldeen's inclusion

I think the only reason Goldeen's in this series at all is because they didn't want to use Magikarp, because it was well known as the weakest pokemon. Agree? Planterobloon (talk) 08:32, 21 December 2013 (EST)

SW:TALK#Musings

This is improper use of the talk page, this kind of stuff belongs in the forums. Omega Tyrant 08:44, 21 December 2013 (EST)

Charizard/Greninja Reveal Trailer

In the Charizard/Greninja reveal trailer, we see Charizard, and Pikachu overlooking several Pokemon, specifically; Eevee, Victini, Keldeo, Togepi, Darkrai, Chespin, Dedenne, Entei, Swirlix, Snivy, Palkia, Staryu, Gogoat, Kyurem, and Meowth. Almost all of these guys have been confirmed as Pokeballs, and it seems like the ones that have not been confirmed will be, (considering Togepi was already a Pokeball Pokemon in Melee, and Brawl) so shouldn't we put a mention of Togepi, Darkrai, Chespin, Swirlix, and Snivy in this page? Just a thought is all, since it seems likely. Laikue (talk) 10:45, 9 April 2014 (EDT)

Also, Looking it over again, I can see Bellosom, Oshawott, Goldeen, Gardevoir, Lugia, Snorlax, Kyogre, Zoroark, Suicune, Deoxys, Spewpa, Inkay, Giratina, and Metagross in the part where the pokeballs are being rapidly thrown. Most of these guys also are, or have been pokeballs as well.

It looks like these are all going to be pokeball pokemon, though of course we should wait until official confirmation. Omega Tyrant 15:58, 10 April 2014 (EDT)

Thought I already replied, anyway, OK, that's fine with me. I also feel the need to mention that I can also see Latias amongst the other Pokemon.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Laikue (talk • contribs) 19:43, April 15 2014.

Maximum damage possible

The tables don't really have a clear method of determining what the maximum damage is; for example, Staryu and Suicune in Brawl have melee hitboxes when you touch the Pokémon itself, and Groudon can deal more than 30% if you run into him multiple times. In addition, the maximum damage possible don't really show how powerful each Pokemon is; for example, Kyogre in Brawl can OHKO you but does 0 damage. I think that their either needs to be a clear method of determining the maximum damage possible or the tables should be removed entirely. Awesome Cardinal 2000 21:59, 1 September 2014 (EDT)
