Ruby and Sapphire offer a fresh selection of handy new Pokeballs, just like Gold and Silver did. These ones however can be bought in stores, and several of them functionally replace the Apricorn balls which cannot be obtained in this generation. It is also worth noting that from these games forward the data of which Pokeball you used to catch your Pokemon is saved, and provides some dazzling aesthetic effects whenever a Pokemon is released into battle. Bred Pokemon always appear in Pokeballs.
