Hello guys.
I'll try to keep this short. I haven't found a single thing on this anywhere, so I believe I am the first to bring this up.
I feel like premier balls are wasted opportunity, as they have the exact same catch rate as a pokeball. Not only do they look kind of cool, but with the inclusion of them in the mystery box now, I feel like they require some sort of redemption. I have listed below several ideas for what a premier ball can do, and I would love it if anyone could come up with other ideas.
Make premier balls work like luxury balls, in that your pokemon will be happier if caught in one. The effect can be substantially less than luxury balls so that they still have a use in the future.
Pokemon caught in premier balls could have a small percent EXP boost.
Premier balls could have a 2x catch rate on pokemon already registered in that users pokedex (essentially working like the repeat ball, but less effective. This way, if the repeat ball is implemented in the future, it will still have a use).
I'm sure that there are many other different possibilities that I haven't even touched on, but I'm running a bit low on time.
Please let me know any ideas you have for premier balls and I will add them to the OP. Let me know why this suggestion is great or why it sucks, and I'll be sure to read it. This is all assuming this thread isn't immediately denied.
Thanks for your time!
