4th Gen When catching a pokemon!

Lmao..I use to always hold down the A button everytime it would shake...then again when I was like 6 I would Tilt the game when my HP was going down to see if the HP would just stop going down xD..its sad what kids do isnt it?
 
Well,
yes and no..
Back when i battled Dialga, all my Pokemon lost, yes, xD And Dialgas was with orange/yellow life, and i only had a level-very-low HM slave Machop (or was it a Geodude >.<) back.. So i throwed the first (and only i think .. cant remember |D; ) Ultra Ball at Dialga.. And i just .. clicked at every bottom 8D Not because it helped anything (i think o.o), but because i know it would broke the Ultra Ball and then destroy my little HM slave xD
But .. well..
No..
I catch it XD
..
Yay..
*remember old days with Mewtwo in a PokeBall*

Up + B ftw! It always seems when I'm not buttons that I have a hole in my heart. I swear to god though, it only works if I'm doing Up + B.

I've been doing that sine the first day Red and Blue came out. It's just been my pain 'poke'habit. ._.
 
I never found a reason to press buttons, so no, I don't press any buttons when catching a pokemon.
 
I have a habit of holding B + Down even though I know that it doesn't do a damn thing. I also have a habit of holding B down really hard when my Pokemon is confused (I do that out of frustration more than habit XD).
 
Well, I randomly change the volume, hold the stylus in my mouth and tap the touch screen...

And attempt to mumble something like " Catch it " although usually in less nice language, and not too understandable (you try talking with a stylus in your mouth.)

Yeah, I'm weird, I know.
 
My friend said if you hold down all the buttons and R and L at the same time, the Pokemon would always be caught. I tried it, and it didn't work.
 
I (as a joke) once told a friend to press L+R+Start+Select to catch it... You shoulda seen the look on his face 0:)
 
LOL mismagius i do the complete opposite and hold down and B. ^_^
 
ahahaha. Lulz. I have one ritual I still do is when the pokeball rocks to a side I press A all 3 times or so. lol. When I was younger I used to constantly press A.
 
I don't press buttons, but I always keep saying "comon..comon..." when the pokeball shakes. =D
 
This is kind of wierd, but it is just my ritual to hold A as the ball hits the Pokemon just for my own enjoyment. IT DOES NOTHING FOR THE CAPTURE RATE. Yeah, I know, its wierd.
 
In the gamecube games, I used to smash the buttons a lot while catching a shadow pokemon. I also pressed random buttons constantly in the 1st/2nd gen when I was dumb but I don't do that anymore in the 4th gen. I'm more confident in my games and my intelliegence.. |D
 
I don't tap buttons but I tap my feet. When the ball goes up and opens, my feet are up. When it bounces, feet follow the motion. Then I tap my feet in the order that it shakes. for D/P- LeftRight, LeftRight, LeftRight :)
 
Ohh yes, I've done this before... way back in red, blue, and yellow days. I doubt it does much but it keeps my nerves down.
 
ever since red/blue i have always hit b down
