POKÉ BALL
Interesting Facts: The Poké Ball (モンスターボール, Monsutābōru?, Monster Ball in original Japanese language versions) is a spherical device used by Pokémon Trainers to capture wild Pokémon and store them when not active. The balls convert a Pokémon into energy upon contact, suck it inside, and close automatically. Stronger Pokémon are able to struggle and possibly break free, while those that have been weakened are easily captured. The Poké Ball, not in use, is the size of a golf ball and with the press of the central button, enlarges to the size of an orange. The Pokémon is released for battle by throwing the ball, and when retrieving a Pokémon, a beam of red colored light will convert the Pokémon into energy and retrieve it. (from the Gameplay of Pokémon Wiki)
THE POKÉ BALL BOX
Height: 10 cm/4 in, 15 cm/6 in, 20 cm/8 in, 25 cm/10 in
No. of Pages: 4, 9, 13, 27
No. of Pieces: 33, 34, 47, 70
Level: Medium
Designer: PMF
Builder: Paperbuff
NOTES: Follow the numbers on the pieces for the suggested building order. Since the poké ball is designed as a box, I very highly recommend using card stock even at the smallest size. Because once built, you won't be able to resist opening and closing, and opening and closing... =P
Also included in the download pack is the Premium Poké Ball.
wow...i really want to make this...but it looks so hard for me! >.<
ReplyDelete:O I want more of those little pokemons i can put inside!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Thank you I love it. It's like a Matryoshka Doll.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
AWESOME! IVE BEEN WANTING A POKEBALL TO STORE ALL MY POKES :P
ReplyDeleteWow! I really want to make these but I've tried downloading them twice and each time they save to my computer but then I cant open them and access the instructions.
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded the newest Adobe last week, can anyone help?
I don't know what the problem might be - I had no problem downloading it and opening the file myself. But I have had a similar issue with a Japanese site. The solution there was to download it using an alternate browser (ie: firefox <-> IE).
ReplyDeleteHowever, if your problem is simply about opening the .zip file, then I would suggest perhaps using an alternate archiving program, such as 7Zip http://download.cnet.com/7-Zip/3000-2250_4-10045185.html
Also, make sure that you have accociated the .pdo files with Pepakura Viewer if they appear as a generic file:
>Right click on .pdo file
>open with
>browse programs
>tamasoft
>pepakura viewer
>OK
Wheres the Instructions???
ReplyDeleteis it the pepakura program use to see instructions? but its just a 3d layout no instructions!
How do you make this?!?!
ReplyDeleteAll the strips like the black strip around the pokeball are really short. it doesnt make a complete circle around the ball to center!
omg alot of pages is there a smaller one?!?!
ReplyDeleteThe sizes are as stated:
ReplyDelete10 cm/4 in,
15 cm/6 in,
20 cm/8 in, and
25 cm/10 in
Did you ever release the lil Pikachu template? It's so cute! It's not in the miniature Pokemon and cake section =o
ReplyDeleteYou can find it in the Pokémon Doll section: http://www.pokemonpapercraft.com/2009/04/pokedolls-team-6-surf-pikachu-unown.html
ReplyDeleteAll u have to do is click on A4 then press save and save it on ur pc. SO SIMPLE!:P
ReplyDeleteK so
ReplyDeleteIt's weird because I print out the papes and the strips and stuff. like the red and black ones, even the outher pokeball (Red) won't go all the way around it. ending up a couple inches short. Did I do something wrong? What happened?
P.S. I'm making the 15 cm one
Hey
ReplyDeleteI try to make them,but it doesn't work. The stips don't reach all the way around and it makes it impossable to do. Could you redesighn them, or is it something I'm doing? I'm frustrated. Thanks if you can help.
can u maybe include the pikachu u made in the download pack? please! cause i really want to make this with the pikachu!
ReplyDeleteThe Pikachu in the picture is just the Surfing Pikachu doll.

Yo dawg! I heard you like catching pokemon so we put a pokeball in yo pokeball so you can catch dem while you catch dem.
ReplyDeleteCool model doods.
So Do These Fit Your Paper Pokemon Inside Them??? Or What Can These Fit In Them? Cause I Wanna Make A Pokeball To Fit My Paper Pokemon In Them :)
ReplyDeletenope, the models don't fit in the ball. in fact, the ball is pretty much as big as our usual models. :/
ReplyDeletei need help plz!!! ive tried making the first pokeball and the white bit doesnt fit inside!! i dunno where ive gone wrong... so can i hav some advice / help??? last comment i tried to post but it never turned up :'(
ReplyDeleteAlot of people are having trouble making that white bit and also keep in mind that it's not an easy model.
ReplyDeleteBest advice I can give you is to look carefully at the PDO in Pepakura Viewer and take a look at the picture in the post.
Beside that, you can always send a picture to our email and we'll see if we can see where the problem is.
Will all of the small poke dolls fit in these and if so, which size ball fits them best; I'm going to give these as gifts with the Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur doll so I want them to look as good as I can.
ReplyDeleteis there any chance of textures for the great/ ultra balls for these, cos their awesome, and i want to have a pokeball in a great ball in an ultra ball, purely for the sake of it.
ReplyDeleteso what pokemon will fit inside the pokeball!?!?! also the strip on step 2 and 3 are two small and wont fit all the way aroun. what should i do
ReplyDeleteI'm confused on how to place numbers 19-14 together on a 10cm line model. It just wont fit ><. please help quickly :/ it would be appreciated alot
ReplyDeleteCharizard is too big :/
ReplyDeleteHave you think of making potions?
That will help my porygon be alive longer! :D
Gonna get me my babushka ball!
ReplyDeleteI'm having difficulty closing it. Can anyone help?
ReplyDeletemay i ask a question?
ReplyDeleteif i want to do this piece, do you think using modelling card works?
It probably would, worth a try. To my knowledge it hasn't been done before, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying for like an hour, but I can't open this papercraft in pepakura viewer. Can anyone help me? I've done this with other papercrafts before and I've tried both A4 and Letter, and it still doesn't work. No luck.
ReplyDeleteYou're using winrar or winzip to extract the zip file first, right? Because the pdo is inside the file provided, it's not directly the file provided.
ReplyDeletewhat about the inside? What can I do to make it look good?
ReplyDeleteIf Pokemon models were resized (for example, shrunk down to about a height of 3-4 in.)
ReplyDeleteto fit in the Pokeball, would the Pokemon models themselves still be able to be made
(what with the cutting and folding involved)?
To resize a model without photo-shop, would page setup options have to be changed
at the time of printing?
Thank you in advance.
The strips 1-2 don't go all the way around the ball, is it something I'm doing wrong or does the template need a redesign? Please answer!
ReplyDeleteIs there a size big enough to fit nearly all models inside but is still reasonably sized? I want to fit my Metagross, Absol, Espeon, Latios, Reuniclus (when it comes out), and Gallade into balls for realism. I will probably put a peice of tape on the inside so they don't completely open, and instead open like they do in the anime.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I do with strips 1 & 2? I don't know what they are used for.
ReplyDeleteI can't find the link to the Pokeball
ReplyDeleteAnd when i downloaded a copy, I couldn't open the files
Including a lineless pdo would've been a big help, please do if you can.
ReplyDeleteThankyou
asifwani
I want the premium poké ball (Not the premier) but i not found it , can pass the link ?
ReplyDeleteI'm having problems in downloading both the A4 and Letter file even though I have good internet connections...Please help I really want this!

When I tried to download it, it stopped halfway and when i opened it. It comes out unexpected end of archive. How to fix it. Can I request any Kind Samarithan to send me the 15cm, 20cm and 30cm pdf files and pdo to me at tanshengyew@yahoo.com?
ReplyDeleteI just checked the download, and had no issues- worth trying again, should work now.
