Section from Archive 1 that still needs answering

At this point it claims that Premier Balls can be obtained at the Pokémon News Press, but over here it lists Premier Balls as one of the five types of Balls that are not available there. I'm confused now as to which is right, so could someone who knows for sure fix it? I♥Togetic 20:29, 31 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Official guidebook says you can't get Premier Balls there. --SnorlaxMonster 10:51, 1 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Catch rate of Dusk Ball

Japanese Wiki says its catch rate is 4×, not 3.5×. --847418742/Nick:Togekiss of Moon 13:34, 2 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Apparently, that is a common misconception. The sources linked in that edit summary explain that someone actually checked the game's code and found that. --SnorlaxMonster 13:40, 2 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ultra Ball in Platinum

This article states that Ultra Balls are sold after earning 7 badges. However, I'm playing Platinum, have only 6 badges, but pokemarts already sell Ultra Balls to me (as I remember, they began it after 5 badges). Ruxax 14:48, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

27th type of pokéball?

So browsing through my PC boxes full of pokémon I noticed what seems to be a 27th type of pokéball. Its pattern appears similar to that of an ultra ball but with a teal coloring in place of the black/gray and white in place of the yellow. The only pokémon in this "new" pokéball which I can confirm the sources of are my Dreamworld Arceus and Fateful encounter Zorua. I know I can't be the first to notice this, but from my "extensive" googling (10 minutes) and looking through this talk page and the archive I can't find any mention of it.

Calling out.

I mean, how do the characters know which Pokemon they are calling out of their pokeballs? was there any mention of this? AquaMaster 13:57, 9 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I guess they memorize the order in which they put the Poké Balls on their belt. And that doesn't always work. Remember the episode where Ash's Snorlax learned Hyper Beam? Ash tried to call out Charizard, but grabbed Squirtle's Poké Ball by mistake, and then Snorlax's? - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talkcontribs) 14:08, 9 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
I guess :/ just seems a bit strange that the majority of the time they get it right when they look all the same, cause in prof oak's lab remember they had the stickers on them of the type, that seems legit AquaMaster 14:14, 9 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
