3rd Gen A Pokemon is on the hook!

It took me literally years to understand the fishing system in RSE. I always just went mental pressing the A button and then went more mental when it kept on failing. I was like 'What's that all about?' And then I spent decades trying to get a Feebas to no avail, and made a promise (that I have not yet broken) that I would never fish again.
 
I didn't really fish much in RSE, but I found the fishing mechanic rather irritating. It was such a unnecessary addition to throw a wasteful minigame to fish for something, and I'm happy that D/P fixed the fishing and made it overall easier.
 
I remember back in Blue, if Im right, I caught a Gyrados with the rod!
 
Love and hate feature for me - it made it more interactive and less boring, certainly, even if it was a rather simple minigame. And it felt more like a struggle too in fishing rather than just using the item, waiting, if nothing try again. But it didn't help that you had to pay attention all the time each time you wanted to fish (and that'd have made hunting for Feebas that much more time consuming and annoying!) Didn't miss its absence all too much.
 
Yeah not totally sure of my feelings on this. I liked that it made it more interactive, but it did get annoying sometimes. xD
 
I have been fishing rarely in this game, but it wasn't truly difficult to me, and super rod wasn't too hard to find as well.
 
Mm.. It was okay I guess.. It made it less repetitive without the constant absent-minded spamming of the select button and the A button till you got a Pokemon...
 
Despite the new fishing system made it harder to fish Pokemons by using Rods, I liked it a lot because it turned fishing into something more realistic. Fishing is really that... you have to wait carefully and pay attention to the hook all the time.
 
I enjoy it as a gimmick that makes the fishing slightly more realistic, and slightly exciting. But I'm definitely glad they dumbed it down for all the other games. It wouldn't be as fun if it was like that in all of them.
 
I kind of like it, it's pretty good and at the same time it's not.
But I still like it in many ways.
 
I like it actually! I found it pretty fun, but apparently others found it too difficult. :( It was the first game I actually fished in though, so I guess that's why it wasn't too bad for me to adjust to, since I didn't have anything to compare it to.
 
I'll say the fishing system was retarded, but I mastered it nonetheless ^^
When it says "Oh! A bite!" you should press & hold the A button, then when the phrase goes & appears again let go for a millisecond then press & hold again, repeat until the player realizes that "a Pokemon is on the hook!" {XD}
