3rd Gen The Master Ball

I did not miss the Master Ball. I always explore an area thoroughly for all items before leaving. It wouldn't make a difference to me if Game Freak would have made it easier to obtain the Master Ball, because I love exploring in the games by default.
 
I hadn't missed it, but a couple of saves after I had accidentally used it for a less valuable Pokemon. :c
I think Game Freak made a good decision of mixing things up a little bit though.
 
Found it on the first time. Its funny, because I was about to skip the room when my bro saw me playing and told me, "Dude, go back into that room, there might be something important in there!" He had never played the game before, so it was pretty ironic and funny.
 
I always check all pokeballs/items on the ground in all places, so missing it is a definite no-no.
 
i found it accidently, but np im glad :D
 
I'm one of those 'explore every place' types. I rarely miss things.

I agree though that it certainly seemed bizarre that they just placed it on the floor. It was rather anti-climatic considering how you received it in the previous games.
 
In my first playtrough I didn't even know about the existance of the room where the masterball was located, so I missed it. However I caught all the legends (Latios was a REAL pain to catch without it.) In Emerald I've bumped into the room accidentally.
 
The first time I played through Ruby version I never grabbed the Master Ball. This pretty much resulted in me not catching Groudon because the Ultra Balls weren't working for me so I just KO'd it.
 
I missed it. Argh I was confused. I got to Kyogre in sapphire, and didn't have it! Luckily, I caught Kyogre after Sunny Day, Hypnosis, Leaf Blade.

I think the Master Ball should just be given to you when you beat Archie earlie on.
 
I didn't miss it! I always search around places before the big fights because I know I will end up missing something big, like the Master Ball. Luckily, my curiosity always gets the better of me.​
 
I rushed through my first playthrough, so I missed it. After struggling to catch Latias, I searched for where I could find a master ball only to find out I couldn't get it anymore. Of course I remembered to get it every playthrough after that though.
 
I got it, but only after like 20 minutes of trying to figure out those stupid warps. I think they should have had Steven give it to you after the fight in the Space Station in Mossdeep. At least, for Emerald that is. I don't know if that battle was in Ruby or Sapphire.
 
I didn't miss it, just got lucky to find it. My two closest friends at the time got the games before me and were already past it and missed it.
