The Pokémon Company International, in partnership with The Wand Company, has unveiled the 2023 lineup of the popular Poké Ball replica series and released the Love Ball as the first replica in the new series. The latest addition to the highly collectible line of replicas was first introduced in the Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video game.
These replicas are crafted with a die-cast metal shell, with the new Love Ball featuring the iconic pink color and heart design from the games. Capturing the nostalgic moment in the franchise history, the new Poké Ball replica transports Trainers directly to the Pokémon world. In addition, the detailed replica is equipped with proximity-sensing technology, enabling the front button to illuminate upon touch or motion detection.
Trainers in the US, Canada, and UK can order the Love Ball replica now at Pokémon Center website for $99.99 USD. However, after one month, it becomes available at other participating retailers in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand.
Following the Love Ball, the 2023 lineup will also feature a Dive Ball, Net Ball, and Luxury Ball later this year.
