(THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED. I AM PRINTING IT RIGHT NOW. WAIT A FEW DAYS IF YOU WANT THE BEST VERSION.
This is my attempt to make the pokeball from the new pokemon game. Details may change between now and launch, but this was made right after the trailer dropped on 2/26/2021. I'll try to revise it if any new details come out about it. Please comment if you like the model or have issues.

This shouldn't need any supports. The design does not need additional hardware, and uses 1.75mm filament for it's axles. Not sure who came up with that idea, but it's a good one. However, there are slots for 8 6mm by 2mm Magnet disks. I reccomend you fill them with the prescribed magmetites. Err Magnets. These will help the ball stay closed properly. The hinge needs some work too I'm afraid, but I was trying to make an all internal hinge. Pm me on reddit if you think you can help make the hinge better. ALSO IF YOU NEED ONE PRINTED, I CAN HELP. PM ME OR POST ON R/3DPRINTMYTHING

You need to print the top half, Bottom half, and latch once. You need 2 of the each kind of hinge part. Then you slide in filament and melt the ends a tiny bit with a soldering iron or the hot end of a heated screwdriver. I take no responsibility if you some how hurt yourself. That's on you.
Thank you for downloading, and for those of you who happen to want to support a poor starving college student who can't feed his pokemon, please do. Thanks.

I used a .2mm layer height. It shouldn't matter though beyond looks. Finer will look better near the top of the curves.
