I've been playing Pokémon for years. Starting with Yellow, I now own every single game of the main series.

Something that has bothered me for years (or atleast, during the latest few generations) is that, while going through routes and caves, I sometimes can actually hear Pokémon cries outside of battle. I thought I was hearing things, but there's been a few times now where I've definitelyheard noises.

Is this a bug, an intended feature, or am I just going crazy? Please tell me other people hear them ><;;

I posted this here, since it applies to most Pokémon games.

Its a feature there to make it seem as though wild pokemon are actually around you in the environment. In Kanto it was usually Rattata and Zubats cries

It was a feature put in during... 3rd Gen?
Can't remember.
Your not crazy though xD
I thought the same thing for a while myself.

And... looking at the post before me apparently it's been there a lot longer than I've noticed O.O
Maybe I never noticed because my mother always made me turn my volume down because it annoyed her for the longest time hahaha.

If your lead is a Pokemon with some particular ability in Emerald, Diamond, Pearl or Platinum, the noise level goes up! Hustle, I think, is the aforementioned ability.
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

Man I tell you what made me mad.
Saphire version.
In that first cave with the waterfalls, Meteor Cave or something? I forget...
And two steps in I run into a Zubat. A shiny Zubat. I wanted a Crobat BADLY, so I thought, hey, all the better. Weaken it, check my bag, and to my surprise, no Pokeballs.
>=I
So I just ran, and then two seconds later heard the Zubat cry while walking in the cave.
It was laughing at meh >.<

Lol. let me go off topic for a sec. My brother lost the chance to catch a shiny Nidorina in the safari zone but it ran and appeared twice more at the same level and always ran.

On topic, that cave is the most common place to hear Zubat cries

That is honestly a combination of the absolute best luck and worst luck I've ever heard hahaha... A universe should have exploded because of it somehow O.o

In caves it was allways Rhyhorn or Gedude.

Does this exist in RBY and GSC, or just RSE and DPP? Because I've never heard this before and I think you're all crazy. Than again, I've only played the 1st two gens.
It's definitely in the 3rd and 4th Generations...
I'm willing to argue about the first two though, I never heard it before.

I've also played every game of the main series. You're just going crazy, like most of us ^^ I hear pokemon [game] cries outside of playing the game (like while I'm outside and not playing the game at all) so you're not too bad. LOL.

I've got Diamond...I heard other people on another games forum talking about it, yet I haven't heard anything yet. However this could be due to my alarming stupidity. Can you hear the cries over the music?

I make Pokemon cries outside of the game. I think I have reached a whole new level of sad.
