I like the feel, weight and impact of the pokeball. A big disappointment was that Nintendo didn't provide any instructions on how to use the Pokeball. A small supplement in the kit would suffice. Instead I had to google it. My kids don't like to play with a ball, they use a controller. Josivk tends to move then they try to decide which is frustrating. It would have been better to press the top two buttons instead of constantly pressing the joystick, which causes some hand fatigue after a while. For me, using a Pokeball is part of the fun of the game. If you have large hands, the ball may seem too small. Haven't used the Pokemon Go ball yet, but I'm giving it 4 stars due to the lack of instructions and difficulty in pressing buttons for kids. .
