So, I had a Dream World task to catch a Pokémon on Route 53, and I checked said Pokémon's info page.
I caught a Heracross in an Ultra Ball but it shows a Poké Ball next to her name on her info page.
That led to this suggestion, which is pretty much just, well, "More Poké Ball Types Being Used" for info pages.

Currently, to my knowledge, only Poké Balls and Cherish Balls show up on info pages, but this could be expanded upon and really is just purely cosmetic, just a nice touch.

So, for example, since I caught this Heracross in an Ultra Ball, it would look like this.
This would also effect Retro and Shadow Pokémon, as they are caught through the same way.
Don't think it needs to be said, but Great Ball usage would lead to them being used on the info page.


A pretty big one would be Beast Balls. They're pretty much just advertised as the way to catch UBs, so having them just be in them seems pretty obvious.


Last three I thought of are pretty much just area centric.
Lure Balls for Pokémon caught from Emera Beach.
The primary use for Lure Balls are for on Pokémon you've fished up, so making any Pokémon you've caught from Emera Beach have them would make sense.

Safari Balls for Pokémon caught from the Safari Zone.
I mean, the Safari Ball is already being used as the icon for the Safari Zone.
In main line games this is the only Poké Ball you can use within Safari Zones, added onto that it's also what's shown to be used while catching Pokémon within the minigame on here, as well. Really just a Great/Ultra ball deal.

Sport Balls for Pokémon caught during the Bug Hatching Contest.
In Pokémon (Heart)Gold/(Soul)Silver/Crystal, the Sport Ball is used similarly to the Safari Ball, but only in the Bug Catching Contest.
While on PokéHeroes, it is the Bug Hatching Contest, I don't think that detracts from it pretty much just being the same event, so the Sport Ball should accompany Bug Hatching Contest Pokémon.


These were all the ideas I had that made perfect sense, but another that might make sense in a way is Luxury Ball for Pokémon bought from the Prize Exchange, but the Prize Exchange in main line games I'm pretty sure was just Poké Balls anyways so unless it'd just be some Emera custom to do that, probably not.
Anyways, if you have anymore ideas, post some and I can edit and add them to this main post.

I like the idea of this. i think that on emera beach should be a chance or an option to put the pokemon eiter a dive ball or the lure ball (me personally i prefer dive than lure)

Full support! :D

It's completely cosmetic, no function at all.

Except I absolutely adore this idea. It adds just a little more style to the site, and most of the balls are already visually available already.
