At the time of Legends: Arceus, Leif claims that back in [[Kanto]], they were already able to tame Pokémon.<ref> Leif, [[Jubilife Village]]: "''You know, we had people back in Kanto who also were able to tame Pokémon. They knew what they were doing in battles, too.''" ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> Implying that some sort of catching device was made before the [[Galaxy Team]] had come to Hisui.

In older times, the recent invention of the Poké Ball was seen as potentially problematic, and was seen as a symbol of containment and restriction towards the Pokémon held within them. The [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s in particular, had a distaste for this invention, as they believe it would harm their relationship with their Pokémon who they viewed as brothers and sisters. In contrast to the [[Galaxy Team]], who had a distrust and fear of Pokémon and used Poké Balls for protection. All three groups eventually warm up to the use of Poké Balls and Pokémon, using the tool as a form of companionship.


According to [[Cyrus]]'s computer in [[Generation IV]] and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, a modern day Poké Ball would limit the power of {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Dialga}}, leading [[Team Galactic]] to creating a [[Red Chain]].

The Pokémon Storage System is managed by different people depending on the region, Bill in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], [[Celio]] in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Lanette]] in [[Hoenn]], [[Bebe]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Amanita]] in mainland [[Unova]], [[Cassius]] in [[Kalos]], and [[Molayne]] in [[Alola]]. [[Brigette]] and [[Grand Oak]] are also known to take on this role for the [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]] software.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
In {{g|Masters EX}}, many Trainer-owned Pokémon are still kept in their Poké Balls with the exception of {{mas|Ash}}, who keeps his {{tp|Ash|Pikachu}} outside at all times, including in certain animations. [[Pasio]] has no [[wild Pokémon]], however, many Trainers still carry empty Poké Balls and may catch any Pokémon that may appear.
In the [[Together in an Unknown Land]] [[story event]] and {{mas|Akari}}'s Sync Pair Story, some history on Pokémon in relation to Poké Balls is revealed. Many Pokémon from the past seem to be afraid of the modern Poké Balls found on Pasio,<ref>{{ga|Akari}}: ''"True. But my Pokémon are scared of these new modern Poké Balls."'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> causing improper synchronization with [[sync stone]]s. However, Akari's {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Samurott}} was caught on Pasio, allowing for the synchronization to work better with the modern Poké Ball, which words as a "Pasio Poké Ball."<ref>{{ga|Akari}}: ''"That's it! I DO have a new Pokémon! I caught it in a Pasio Poké Ball!"'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> Akari also describes the modern day Poké Balls as being '''strange''', '''futuristic''' and '''new and modern'''.
In [[Travelers from a Distant Past]] story event, {{mas|Irida}} and {{mas|Adaman}} also learn about Poké Balls, previously disliking the idea of containing Pokémon in Poké Balls as they saw it as a form of restrainment. Learning that Poké Balls are a symbol of partnership and trust between Trainers and Pokémon, they put their {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}} in modern day Poké Balls.
Like in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} Hisuian Poké Balls were made from scratch.

In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', the [[Red Orb]] controls {{p|Kyogre}} and the [[Blue Orb]] controls {{p|Groudon}}. According to [[Lance]], ''"The Red Orb was created long ago by evil people to control ancient Pokémon and use them as weapons..."''

The [[Jade Orb]] does not make an appearance in the anime, but presumably would have some effect on {{p|Rayquaza}}. The Generation III Bag descriptions of these items state that they "contain an incredible power from ancient times". Whether or not this means these Orbs have been around since ancient times is unknown.


[[Archie]] invokes the Red Orb with the words "Convey our will to Kyogre, great Red Orb, and allow this great power to be released now".
