4th Gen Up arrow and B button

[Tac One]

Does anyone know if the pressing the Up Arrow and the B button at the same trick works like it did in Pokemon Blue and Red? Sorry, I left it pretty vague, it was supposed to make catching PKMN easier.

 

[Name]

what kind of trick is that?

do you want something to go up and cancel?

 

[Postman]

No, the trick does not work.

that never worked, it was just a Poke-legend

My friend says that saying "Gotch'a!" in the DS Microphone makes catching Pokemon easier...
I think he's wrong... That would look ridiculous in public!

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

They are very nice placebos… I still tap a / b repeatedly sometimes.

 

[MasterPokemon409]

I knew it didn't really work, yet I got into the habit of always doing it anyway...LOL.

Because I couldn't resist: http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=8
This was a myth, everyone was doing it and when I tried it, the one time, it failed. It was one of the many many myths out there. xD

Most of these trick thingys don't woke, but when I would get frustrated at a pokemon for falling asleep I'd yell wake up! into the ds microphone and concidentally it'd wake up everytime. :paranoid:

Whenever throwing a ball, I look away from the screen and turn up the sound. That way it intensifies the moment, and I become happier when I hear the victory music!

Whenever I throw a ball, I toggle my thumb so I hit A and B alternately. It doesn't do anything, though.
Actually, I guess I do that anytime I am not on the overworld and I have nothing else to press (like while waiting for attack animations).

LOL!LOL TWICE!Man i rember doing that.I always press b+down but it NEVER does anything.But to me it feels like it does.....

 

[King_Lucario]

Whenever I throw a PokeBall, I press B when it opens, A when it closes, then B + A when it hits the ground. I then hold B + A until the ball stops shaking. That combo works for me.

 

[You're Gonna Go Far Kid!]

You know how the pokeball shakes left and right?Well,i'd push left & right repeatedly on the d-pad and it seemed to work...Theres many poke catching myths.

 

[Skaterzpenguin]

I don't remember pushing the up button, but yeah there use to be a trick holding the B button after the ball moves the second time or something, but no, I don't think that tricks works anymore...

 

[Haza]

Sometimes when I have this feeling that Im going to get lucky I push the direction than the ball rolls, like ---->, <----, ---->. Usually when I do this it works but only when I have the feeling.(dont think Im making it up because I do sound crazy!)

 

[Matzzz]

I always use down + B for ultra ball, up + b for Pokeball, i have done it since i was like 5 lol

lol.. I used to do this in Crystal.. but not in Diamond.. i guess i forgot about it

 

[M O M U S U]

I tap A whenever the ball moves, then hold it at the last wobble.

It seems to work for me, I caught Dialga using an ultra ball using this method.

I personally never did any of those button combinations, but my little sister and little brother still do them just in case they might work.

With all due respect,
