980 - 985: Founding

Pix Co. was established by Eleanor Watanabe on Fall 21, 980 after purchasing the rights of various companies in Toro. In the Winter of 982, Pix Co. entered the global market with the release of the Oakball, a ball made with an oak native to the Toro region. It was welcomed with a decent reception however was criticized for its cheap material. It was nicknamed as the Oneball for its one chance usage before breaking.

Pix Co. released the Silkball in Spring 983. As its name suggest, it is a ball lined on the interior with weedle silk. A ornately carved pine base completed this luxurious ball at a retail price of 1300 en. It stirred little interest in the global market, leaving Pix Co. heavily in debt. The investment was a decision that left the CEO, Ms. Watanabe, to withdraw from the public operation of the corporation for a year.

985 - 997: Partnership

Returning full force in the Winter of 985, Mrs. Watanabe presented the Pix Co. Pixelball, a revolutionary button-style ball to replace the common screw-top style. Pix Co. put the design into production in the Summer of 986 and the product hit the markets on Spring 10, 987. The corporation received high acclaim worldwide for its speed of capture and ease of use.

After the pixelball's success, Pix Co. attracted the attention of leading Pixelmon Supply corporation, Silph Co.

Together with Silph Co., a Personal Computer debuting the Jill inbox, was released to the public on Spring 1st, 989. This allowed the Pix Co. Pixelball to work in combination with the Jill inbox system. The partnership included an exclusive contract that equipped each Pix Co's Pixelmon Centers with the Silph Co. personal computer.

A few years later, discussion began between Silph Co. and Pix co. in 993. Combining both the healing station and the pixelball, these two leading Pixelmon supply companies created the Golden Apple OS, gaOS, which allowed Pixelmon to be healed while still housed in their individual balls. Global acceptance was immediate.

In 998, Devon Co. worked with Pix Co. in developing the Fossil Machine to work with the pixelball.

[OOC Note: Even though Bulbapedia has listed earlier existence of capturing methods of Pixelmon, those have not yet been discovered ICly.]

It was created using the method of turning Apricorns into Pixelballs by simply hollowing them out and adding a sophisticated capture mechanism to the top of it. This Pixelball was called the Oakball, a ball made with an oak native to the Toro region. It was welcomed with a decent reception however was criticized for its cheap material. It was nicknamed as the Oneball for its one chance usage before breaking.

Following the Oakball was the Silkball in Spring 983. As its name suggest, it is a ball lined on the interior with Weedle silk. A ornately carved pine base completed this luxurious ball at a retail price of 1300 pix.
