C'on, just give up and stay in the pokeball!!!!!

[Andrew McKenzie]

A team of Level 60 Pokemon.
A load of Full restores and revives.
50 Ultra Balls.
Lugia on 1 HP, either with Sleep, or Frozen Status.

I ran out of all of my Ultra Balls. And Lugia woke up and killed my last Pokemon.

I literally cried.

So I soft reset.
Go again!
... Lugia, 1 HP. Frozen. Caught in a PokeBall.
I jumped around the room, laughing and shouting in delight.

My family stared, intently. =S

Zapdos in FireRed...

GreatBalls seemed to be working better than Ultras...

Worst part is, you can't go back and retrieve the Pokeballs that failed to work, so wave bye-bye to all that money you spent :/

It'd be awesome if, once you caught (or whatever) the Pokémon, you were left with this pile of Pokéballs where the Pokémon was, and all you had to do was walk over to it and get all of them back.

So far Cresselia has been the most difficult Pokémon for me...took 45 Ultra and 2 Great to finally catch. x_x

Zapdos was hard to me too... But I got Groudon with second Ultra.
