8 Worthless Video Game Items You NEVER Used
3. Love Ball - Pokemon
So I think it's pretty safe to say that the Pokémon franchise is one built on love right? We all adored growing up watching the animated show and chattering amongst ourselves on the playground about the brilliant Game Boy titles or even the genuinely stellar card game. However, the actual Love Ball itself - which you can find in the second generation of video games - was less adoration and more a fist-to-the-face-ion as it's a bloody disgrace.
On paper, the ball sounds like the business, boasting an 8X capture rate which by itself is amazing! But there's a twist, because this ball only has this bonus when trying to capture Pokémon of the opposite sex to the one you have out on the field.
Suddenly it's much less useful and carries a rather horrible vibe to it. But wait, it gets worse because you see the ball was programmed INCORRECTLY, meaning that it only gave the boosted capture rate to Pokémon of the same gender. This meant that you now possess a Pokéball that allows you to capture Pokémon you've already got.
No thank you, please.
