Summary
Not only hasPokemonprovided us with various ways to know what it feels like to be a Pokemon trainer via its games, but it has allowed us to know what it might feel like to actually hold a Poke Ball. It’s been doing that for years via its Wand Company Poke Ball replicas, and a new love-themed addition to the collection has arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day.
The new addition to the range isa Mini Love Ball, bringing the number of miniature versions of Wand Company Balls up to five after they started to be released a little over a year ago. So far the Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Premier Ball, regular red and white Poke Ball, and now the Love Ball have been shrunk down to a smaller, and cheaper, size option.
Most Poke Ball types have a unique feature that makes them handy in particular situations. The Love Ball, which first appeared in PokemonGold & Silver, makes it easier for a trainer to catch a Pokemon that’s the opposite gender to the one you’re using. You can’t do that with this replica, of course. It’s just for show, so don’t go throwing it around. I mean, you can, but I really wouldn’t recommend it.

Perfect For Pretending To Catch A Partner Pokemon This Valentine’s Day
The Love Ball looks better when on display anyway and comes with a silver token that’s covered in Togepi silhouettes on which to place it. It’s also interactive like the other balls in The Wand Company’s collection. A sensor on the ball means it will go different colors depending on how close your hand is to it, and you can initiate its catching sequence by pressing the button on the front. See, no need to throw it whatsoever.
Mini Love Ball By The Wand Company
Originally introduced to Pokemon in Gold & Silver, The Wand Company has added the Love Ball to its collection of miniature Poke Ball replicas. The Love Ball comes with a display token and glows different colors depending on how far your hand is from it.
Like the rest of the mini Poke Balls released so far, the Love Ball is quite a bit cheaper than its full-size equivalent.$59.99 through the link in the box aboveas opposed to the $99.99 price tag that the regular Love Ball costs. The miniature version also looks like it has a slightly different design than the bigger version with the small ball painted in brighter shades of pink.
The Love Ball wasn’t amongthe designs initially revealed by Pokemon and The Wand Companywhen it first started to introduce mini versions of its Poke Balls, suggesting most of its designs might eventually get smaller, cheaper versions. However, one year on, there is still a mini replica missing from that initial reveal - the black and red Cherish Ball.
