I liked them. I hear they got dirty, but I never had a problem, I always liked them. Are they gone, forever? I actually seem to prefer them. Maybe it's the slower release?
 
The original pokes were the shit. I remember when the firs batch of green bomb pokes (tested as MDMA/ketamine/caffeine) flooded my area I was hooked on em, I refused to buy any other pills. For a good while the pokeball presser just kept releasing amazing pills, telephones, euros, macs, dragonflies, batmans, all great. Cali was absolutely flooded with pokeballs, at one point they were the only press you could find in my area. After a while the press started getting bunk, at one point some presser released a green bomb copycat that was flat and wide, looked totally fake and obviously ripped off but it was actually legit MDMA. This was the beginning of the end, the copycats were definately trying to cash in on the notoriety.

Then a new generation of pokes completely took over, all these piece of shit pokes were actually methylone, ever since then the presser released nothing but methylone pokes so I never bought one again. I'm sure many followed until the press was given a horrible rep so I'm guessing the presser gave up on the pokeball series. Old poke = Amazing new pokes = shit. If I pay MDMA prices I want MD not methylone however I will say that I would rather get sold a methylone tab over a pipe. That my friend is the legend of the infamous pokeball...

Edit: Now that I got to thinking, I remember reading that the original presser got busted. I'll see if I can dig something up to confirm that. Here's a thread I found, lot's of speculation: http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/438072-pokeball-distributor. Hard to believe it's been 5 years since they came out, time flies.

^ very likely it was one of the methylone pokes. Methylone is a very stimulating, less potent, less euphoric version of MDMA that can very well cause a cold feeling due to it's vasoconstricting properties. Usually methylone only lasts around 2-3 hours, do you remember the stamp?

I know it was white. I cant remeber the stamp for sure, I just remember it was my only "terrible" experience. I hat my coat on in the club and my friends were telling me to take it off or i'd overheat, but I felt freezing. We ended up[ just going home, but when I tried to lay down, I was so awake and just stared at the tv all night and fet awake. I've rolled many times, but that was the only terrible experience. I shivered.
 
Phones were completely legit, I have taken blue, purple, and I believe yellow telephones and they were litterally my second favorite pokes behind the og bomb, very clean. Reading through the comments of that blue ghost apparently there was also butylone in those. Not sure what effects a butylone/methylone combo may have but given that cathinones are typically very stimulating and have the ability to cause vasoconstriction this sounds like the combo that was in your pill but it's impossible to know without the press and test results.
 
Yup, it was the pacman ghost. I think those marked the beginning of the end after the copycat bombs IIRC. It was indeed sad to watch from beginning to end the rise and fall of pokeballs.

Does anybody remember these "pokeballs"? They were going around as lollipops or 3D pokeballs around 2010, they flooded EDC and were legit but a funky press none the less.

MDMA doesn't cause bodily temperature changes at all? So if I get cold from a pill or unknown "mdma" crystals/powder it is most likely cut with methylone? I am very aware of the different effects that differ between MDMA and M1 but I thought MDMA was notrorious for making you feel cold and hot?

Yep! That about sums it up... That MDMA/ketamine/caffeine combo was unbelievable.

These were the last ones I ever saw:

And this makes me tear up a little ever time I think about the old pokes:

I'm just gonna start out this post by saying I've never had MDMA cause vasoconstriction and overstimulation anywhere near the level of BK. Also, MDMA causses me to sweat and overheat, not go cold. There have been winter events that I've gone to that I probably wouldn't have been able to tolerate had I not been on MDMA. Don't take this as me saying MDMA can't cause a "cold feeling" or varying temperature fluctuations, I just personally have never had that happen to me and I've taken alot of fucking MDMA over the years. YMMV.

it could have been a ghost....if it was, would it look like a pacman ghost? I had that around that same time...

Just about all pokeballs going aound during this time were bunk and usually methylone. She also said it may have been a ghost which is tested as bk-mdma.

I had a pokeball one time that made me cold and sketchy and awake all night

Methylone is VERY ovestimulating for some people, me included, far more than MDMA.

Not sure what effects a butylone/methylone combo may have but given that cathinones are typically very stimulating and have the ability to cause vasoconstriction this sounds like the combo that was in your pill but it's impossible to know without the press and test results.

I'll end my post with this quote, please stop accusing me of making generalizations, my assumption wasn't as unfounded as your making it out to be :)

I remember those M&M's! Those were yummy indeed, these came out around the same time as the bombs. I think all pokes around this time were around 90mgs MD with caffeine and ket. When the 38,000 pokeball bust happened a bunch of the pills were sent into e data and in the comment section it said something like "pills average from 88-94mgs MDMA", don't quote me on those numbers though. I will say though that not all pokes had ketamine, only the first batches did. If you think about it though, you know the US has pretty crappy MDMA quality when we appreciate 90mg pills, there was a pill in europe that tested as 300mgs of MD, I think they were grey skulls. They also have plenty of ~200mg pills goin around, some are actually making their way over here though, I hear the partyflocks and bentleys have found their way to cali.

Edit: just read the comment section in that M&M post and it was actually 86-95mgs MDMA, I wasn't that far off.

My guess is they're living fine and even may have made an appearance in the scene last year under a different series. (Real heads know what I'm talking about) But who knows?
 
Pokes were great pills when they first came out - distinct press, decent amount of MDMA (for the region). People got way too complacent about talking about location of presser, presser being arrested, presser finished etc.

Then along came the 'copy cats' !
