I have been working on a pattern for some Plants Vs. Zombies inspired toys for my kids because they are obsessed with PvZ and I ended up being really inspired to use features from my PvZ pattern to make a few Pokémon inspired Pokéballs and this is what I came up with. My kids are also super Pokémon fans, so this worked out well. Please let me know if there are any errors and I'll fix it up right away. Enjoy!
