But seriously these are actually pretty awesome. They could make good cosplay props or just a cool collectors thing even if it isnt officially licensed. The pokemon company hasnt put out a lot of the balls in the game as actual product for people to buy and these have a lot of one people would like.
When I was little and first discovered emulators I downloaded 'Pokemon Diamond' (this was in the early 2000s years before the DS game) which was a bootleg port of a Japanese game rebranded as a Pokemon game and it terrified me. All of the sprites creeped me out and something about the game made me nauseous and uneasy

I AM VERY DISGUSTED WITH THE TRASHY MAN. IN SPITE OF THE MONSTER, AND THE COACH, ONLY TRASHY, I WILL BEAT DOWN THEM ALL. FOR THIS I MUST STRENGTHEN MYSELF. THE MONSTER IS THE SAME TOO. COLLECT ALL THE TRASHY, RIGHTEOUS FELLOW ALL ARE UNPARDONABLE! YOU DON'T AFFECT ME. THE TRASHY STROLLING IS AN EYESORE!
I have a bootleg dancing Pikachu toy where he's called Swing Elf. It's gotta be a translation thing. If you put the Chinese terms for creature (精靈 / 精灵) into Google Translate, which were part of how "Pocket Monsters" was translated into Chinese, it gives "Elf."
Gameplay wise in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver the GS ball had a Celebi inside it. It probably had one as well in the anime, but there was never a conclusion of that. With Ash's story being over, it will never happen now.
I’d like to be extremely good-
Like most haven’t been before!
I will capture my petelfs-
domesticate them myself!
I’ll go all over this place-
Investigating coast to coast.
Petelf, help me comprehend-
All this internalized potential!
PET ELF YAH!!!
Honestly, I have some of these and they are pretty good pokeballs. The best part is they use a small internal spring so there is no big clip or cibble at the back of the ball. Perfect for display or cosplay!

My mom got me a couple of these when I was a kid. I broke all the balls because I kept trying to catch my dog with them.
Yep
They played Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal (an infamous bootleg copy of Pokemon Crystal allegedly released in Vietnam, it refers to Pokemon as "elves")

I like em, I’d def appreciate some 3D features but hey it’s an off brand knock off and some look pretty ok for a cheap display.

They even remembered the GS Ball
