    Trust me, this seriously works.

    Every day at 11:36 am exactly tilt the GB upside down, fap, pray to whatever god you worship, make a sammich and lick the screen (In that exact order! I cannot stress that enough.) and catching a Pokemon will be approximately 2% easier.

    I am 75% sure about this.

    I don't really have any techniques for catching Pokemon, but sometimes I press the A button until I catch it and it always works for me :]

    Even though all those silly button combinations were disproved long ago, I still hold B+up out of habit every. single. time. I. throw. a. pokeball. D:

    I used to press A and the opposite direction the ball rolled on the D-pad back in Sapphire. I don't do it anymore since it makes no difference.

    I used to do A+Down, I don't really know why because it didn't make a difference. Just a habit I had.

    I just pres B down when the pokemon flashes from taking the damage, as it is supposed to make it more likely to make Critical hits, but it's just a superstition and more of a habit.

    A! A! A! A! A! And repeat.

    Originally, I used A+B, but I "heard" that can trigger the unwanted appearance of Decamark (??????????) and corrupt the file. So many rumors... Anyway, even though it doesn't really work, I will probably continue to press A-A-A well into future generations. :)
