When I got my first Critical Capture on the first time, I was having some struggle of catching Victini in Liberty Garden to the point I'm throwing Timer Balls as the last resort. However, at one point of throwing Timer Balls, I suddenly hear a sharp, flinging sound when I don't expect it, that makes the Timer Ball shakes once and then clicks.

This makes me rejoice, and out of curiosity, starting to search on the net why the fling occurs to me, and finding out that the Critical Capture is the cause, and since then, sometimes when throwing Pokéballs, I'm expecting to hearing the flinging sound so that I can catch Pokémon easier while filling the Dex to make sure it happens often.

I didn't know that that was a thing; I thought it was a glitch of some sort :P But yes, it's happened to me a handful of times, and it's quite handy.

I hadn't known about critical captures until one randomly happened while I was trying to catch a shiny Drifblim. I thought the whistling noise meant that something was wrong with my DS's speakers, or that it was a glitch until I looked it up on the internet. And once I found out what that was, I was pretty happy I got another one not long after! I think I've had more CC's fail than succeed, but they're still satisfying.

I remember getting a critical capture on something in my White version, and having absolutely no idea what it was. I had used a Quick Ball on something, and I thought it was some neat new feature with the Quick Ball to make the battle go by more quickly... lmao.

I was probably one of the few who read about critical captures before even playing the game, thanks to Serebii. It was interesting to hear a lot of comments in this thread were about mistakening the sound effect for a glitch or something.
