This is of coarse a hypothetical question cause I do know that he needed to
make the old ones reappear in order to do the thing with Cell. But this is
only part of the question if Dende created new balls would the seven Dragons
appear? I think not because there should be no negative energy in the new
balls but im curious.

What would have happened if Dende could have made new Dragon Balls?


It would take longer, but **they would appear eventually**. Humans would keep
on wishing for stuff, adding to the negative energy stored in the balls. So I
guess they could renew the balls from time to time, preventing the negative
energy from building up, but where would the energy go and what would happen
to the balls? The negative energy is still around, so I think even if the
balls would be renewed over and over again, the cumulative negative energy
would eventually make the seven dragons appear. I think it was Earth's destiny
for it to happen. We should all be happy that at that exact time, Goku was
coincidentally strong enough to defeat them. Imagine what would have happened
if he was still only a boy.

I don't think there is an " **official** " answer to this question as
technically GT is anime-based only (Toriyama did not make the whole story
himself), but a fair guess would be that it is irrelevant - the seven dragons
would appear as long as enough wishes were asked of from Shenron. According to
the anime, the only important factor (other than the content of the wish
itself) that influenced and kept the dragons from appearing was the time lapse
between successive wishes, which was dramatically reduced after Bulma invented
the dragon radar.

Of course, there are all sorts of fan-based speculations as to why the dragon
balls weren't simply kept in the hyperbolic time chamber after every wish
(since it is quite possible to catch the balls after a wish before they are
dispersed, as was once done by Goku) so that the negative energy would
dissipate, but they are just _theories_.
