Talk:Pester Ball

Cut from New Pokemon Snap

Another key change from the original Pokémon Snap that fans may have picked up on already is the lack of "Pester Balls," which were little balls that exploded in a purple gas when thrown at Pokémon, irritating them. More subtle is the shift from "Apples" to "Fluffruit" as an item thrown to entice Pokémon, and in our preview I was told that Fluffruit explicitly does not hurt Pokémon if it hits them when thrown. Put simply, there's a bit more of an emphasis on treating Pokémon like, well, actual living creatures who don't deserve to have noxious irritating gas or painful solid objects lobbed at them when they're just vibing in their natural habitats.

Suzaki didn't put it quite so bluntly but, yes, there was a humane angle to these changes.

"Of course, we also thought that some modern changes would need to be made," he says. "The Pester Ball was an important element to bring out Pokémon's reaction in the Nintendo 64 Pokémon Snap, so we decided to add the role of the Pester Ball to the Fluffruit in New Pokémon Snap. Even though Fluffruit doesn't hurt when it hits a Pokémon, it'd make sense that some Pokémon don't like being hit by Fluffruit. So we designed the item to leave it up to players whether they place it near a Pokémon or throw it at a Pokémon."

I'm not quite sure how to make this shorter for the sake of the article. Can someone please help me reword it? ¿¡Unowninator?! (talk) 03:34, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Added, tried to make it not stray too far from the original text of the article writier as they would have more an impression of the word's Suzuki was trying to say. --Spriteit (talk) 13:27, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
