A proposal inspired by Pokémon is getting a lot of attention online after a woman shared that her partner proposed with a Master Ball while they were in Japan, and she accepted!
The couple shared a photo on social media of a special item shaped like a Poké Ball that they used to mark the occasion.
Master Ball proposal goes viral online
In a post on April 5th, the woman revealed the proposal happened in Japan, the country where Pokémon originated. Her partner used a special Master Ball – the franchise’s signature purple Poké Ball with an ‘M’ on top – to propose.
The Master Ball is a popular item that Pokémon fans have loved since the very beginning – appearing in the original Red and Blue games. It instantly captures any Pokémon you use it on, and players often saved it for especially rare and powerful Pokémon like Mewtwo or the Legendary Birds.

Photos of a Pokémon Master Ball ring and the proposal it was used for quickly became popular online, with many people applauding the clever and creative way someone proposed to their partner.
It reminds me of the sweet proposal scene between Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet in the Pokémon anime – so touching, don’t you think?
The original poster shared their excitement, referencing a moment from an anime where a character proposes with a ring inside a Poke Ball-shaped case. They expressed disbelief and joy, saying, “I can’t believe this is happening to me! I’m so happy!”
Proposing with Pokémon themes is nothing new, but doing it in Japan with a likely custom-made Master Ball takes it to another level.
