Types of Poké Ball.

Done, though I can see some of these becoming potentially ambiguous. Can deal with it at the time, I guess.

Would you elaborate on the ambiguity, please? This subject interests me.

Maybe you know any non-Pokémon use for "love ball", or something like that?

Things like "fast ball" or "heavy ball" would never be assumed related to Pokemon by someone not into Pokemon. The most likely source of ambiguity would be copyright names or artist names.

create implication safari_ball -> poke_ball

Done

Spacing:

create alias ultraball -> ultra_ball
create alias masterball -> master_ball

Japanese version -> English version:

create alias monster_ball -> poke_ball
create alias super_ball -> great_ball
create alias hyper_ball -> ultra_ball
create alias love_love_ball -> love_ball
create alias speed_ball -> fast_ball
create alias precious_ball -> cherish_ball
create alias dark_ball -> dusk_ball

*bumps*

Done that last batch.

Can't we get rid of those implications? They honestly make zero sense to me, because they are vidually extremely distinctive and have other abilities, too.
A PokéBall is the one with red/white coloring, while a master ball is purple/white white those two red bulges. And a master ball is working completely different, like I said.

So I suggest to get rid of these implications.
I can kindy understand these implications, because Bulbapedia doesn't make a difference and use them as a general term and for the red/white ball, too.
Although only the German Pokewiki does make a difference between the two and uses the term PokéBall for the red/white ball and the plural (PokéBalls) for the catchall term. Might be a bit nitpicky, but yeah. I think that Danbooru is focussing more on the visual differences and I don't want to find a Master Ball when searching for PokéBall.

If we go that way, we'd have to redo the holding_pokeball tag with all the variants and undo those implications.

Personally, I think what we have here is fine and doesn't need to be messed with and is also easier for people who've just started tagging to keep it all unified.

Ok. That makes sense :3.

Would it be useful to create a generic poke ball tag though...?

Ex:

poke_ball_(generic)

or

generic_poke_ball

That would make it easier to find the vanilla-flavored versions...

I'll start tagging posts with poke ball (generic) as per your idea.

create implication poke_ball_(generic) -> poke_ball
