In a massive curveball no one saw coming, Pokemon GO has recently released a video teasing the third Master Ball ever in the game.
The Best Poke Ball To Catch Pokemon
Master Balls are a special type of Poke Balls that can catch any type of Pokemon with a hundred percent certainty. It has been around since the beginning of the Pokemon franchise, usually obtainable just by progressing the game's story.
You can use it on any wild Pokémon, whether it's a legendary like Mewtwo, a mythical like Genesect, rare shiny encounters, or even the most mundane ones like a random normal Caterpie.
Once released, this would mark the third time Master Balls can be obtained in Pokemon GO.
Whole Bag of Mixed Reactions
Those who missed the first two releases or are eagerly awaiting another one were excited by the latest Master Ball teaser video.
However, if you have obtained the first two Master Balls in Pokémon GO, let's be honest—the teaser video itself is not exciting. After all, the teaser video was simply just a reused animation of what happens when you unlock the item within the game.
Furthermore, given the current emotional state of the player base due to some aspects of the game (*cough* the horrendous new avatar update *cough*), a lot of people had a whole other reaction to the teaser. Instead, a lot of them expressed their distaste for Pokemon GO.
The majority of the replies to Pokemon GO's announcement were the numerous protests about the current state of the game, airing out their grievances about the current state of avatars and more.
“Don’t care. Change the avatars back,” said one user. “No one cares until you fix the avatar issue. Stop delaying. Revert now,” said another user passionately in all caps.
There are also some players who are pessimistically anticipating the method of the third Master Ball's release.
“Watch it be [released through a] timed research instead of regular [one],” predicted one user. “Timed, paid research,” replied by another user.
With Pokemon GO's disapproval from the eyes of the people who still play the game, it seems like the Master Ball could not be a smokescreen to cover up the problems that exist in the current state of the game.
Third Masterball Released
To date, Pokemon GO has released two Master Balls. Announced in May last year, players could obtain the first Master Ball for free through special research. Then, players also got the chance to get a second one through a time-limited special research.
Niantic has not released much information yet, but they have provided a clue regarding when and how players can obtain the third Master Ball. They included the logo of the current season, World of Wonders, at the end of the teaser video. This move suggests that details about acquiring the third Master Ball may closely tie to the events or challenges of this season.
With that said, we'll be keeping a close eye on the details of the release of the third Master ball in Pokemon GO.
