Is it just me?

[super onii chan]

every time i try to catch a pokemon i hold on the A kinda hard, not to hard for the the A button to go in. Dose anyone else do this?

 

[Ooka]

I just don't push any buttons at all. I've always had success doing it.

 

[Starway]

i acually do i think it works but im not sure i need to hear everyoen else bout it though lol

 

[True Justice]

I know what you mean. I heard some rumor where if you hold the A button at the right time, the catch becomes 100%. I know now that it's fake but sometimes, I'll still find myself holding the button.

 

[super onii chan]

well for some reason it gives me "luck" ive done like a experiment and i had a esier time catching pokemon holding A

 

[Starway]

You know i haven't really noticed that i've pressed A a lot so i think it gives you luck but its sure helped when i was catching the legendaries.

 

[the_gurpster]

some one told me it helps but wat helps for me is to look away :) i never looke at the pokemon i am trying to get i dont know why but i do

This belongs better in Pokemon General, as it could be applied to all generations.

Just to let you know, you double-posted. xD

Anyway, yeah, I used to press the buttons.

 

[NitroZ3R0]

I always held the A button really hard when catching pokemon especially when I played the older games.
Nowdays Ive broken the habit but I do sometimes do a combination of holding A just as the pokeball closes on the pokemon and then holding down as the ball hits the ground.

It sounds hard to believe that pressing the A-button repeatedly actually heightens the chances of you catching a pokemon. I am not sure if I believe it or not, but I always will find myself repeatedly tapping the A-button whenever I attempt to capture a legendary. After numerous times of experimenting, I truly find it hard to believe that pressing the A-button does not increase the chances of capture. A friend told me once that tapping the button in the PokeBall on your TouchScreen functions like the A-button does upon capture. I don't hold the button down, but I repeatedly tap the button, along with the TouchScreen's PokeBall. I personally think it works.

i tap the a button repeatedly, no i don't think it works but it's sort of like a habit of nervousness

my friend dose that..he takes his ds stick and starts taping the bottom screen i tried but it dosent help me "or so my mind think"

This is just a theory. Though, when I was a kid I keep on holding B while capturing. Doesn't work, really.

 

[Motsuko Live]

For some reason, I find that if my DS is in my hands, I can't catch the Pokemon. So I'll put it down on a desk or something as soon as I throw a Pokeball.

I've also heard that if you whisper/mutter "Gotcha!" into the mic on the DS at a certain time, the catch rate increases by some 75% or so. Probably just a rumor, though. -.-

 

[Hazuki]

I only hold down the buttons if one of my Pokemon's move has low accuracy. But for catching rare legendaries, I just spin the Pokeball in the touch screen. Yeah I know it sounds retarded by my brother and I tried it and it works nearly every time.... oO;;

LoL I doubt that xD Probably just a joke or something...


Um... I press different buttons, sometimes holding A, down, up, sideways, and other buttons and sometimes I hold both B and A. It never works. But I end up doing it anyway >_>

Heh, it's a habit.

 

[Acrutheo]

I don't, because it doesn't help me catch the desired pokemon. Since I've seen no credible evidence that it works, I assume it's just a rumor.

 

[El Gofre]

People always think up brand new rituals. None of which work by the way. I've found tapping A and B alternately like a crazy fool works best for me ;)
