Redstar, I said that it doesn't work prior to reading the article you posted earlier in the thread. My bad. It works, yes, but the desired effect (an increase in the probability that a Pokémon will be caught) is hard to achieve, from my understanding.

Why would the programmers put something stupid in like the a/b trick?

I don't know, why would they include a truck that was never used but has instead been the source of so many theories?

A friend taught me this "trick" when I was younger. Ever since then I do it without thinking.

I have tried it, and it really doesn't make it any better or worse for me. It's still 50/50 for me. But of course, I do it without thinking now. I was told this years ago, and still to this day when I am catching a Pokemon I still try it. lol. It never really does anything though. That I know.

I think it's just a myth.

I press A in time with the ball rolling from side to side. Its an automatic thing for me, it makes me think that i will catch the pokemon.

I still do B + ^ from time to time. It's a habit. Or a superstition. I dunno. It still "works".
