I caught Groundon with a premier ball in soulsilver. Did I really catch him?

No, because "Groundon" isn't a real Pokemon.

What did Game Freak mean by this?

Always felt unsatisfied after using it on the last legendary or that pesky roamer, but then what else are you supposed to use it for?

>any ball other than Poké or Premier
You didn't really catch the Pokémon.

>pokemon "faints"
>Welp, can't catch it now.

>felt unsatisfied you didn't sit there mindlessly rerolling a 3% chance over and over
Smooth brain take, faggot.

Fuck you, I'm not hunting all those asshole roamers down.

Pokeballs don't physically restrain pokemon. They mindrape them into serving you as a slave. That's why you have to beat them to near-death so they lose their will to resist. Why do you think it's called a Master Ball?

Well maybe they shouldn't have put roar on a roaming pokemon

Big fuckin agree, premier balls for legends and shiny UNLESS the shiny would look nice in another ball

Premier balls suck.

Luxury Balls don't suck.

>buy 10 pokeballs
>get 1 premier ball

>buy 90 pokeballs
>get 1 premeir ball
Did they ever fix this?

full health, no status effects, poke ball only

otherwise you didn't catch it

yes

I caught Articuno with a Great Ball in Blue yesterday, it almost fainted all of my party when I was throwing Great Balls, it kept saying 'Miss'

That's kinda hot...

Why premier balls? I just use the OG poke ball on everything. I use ultra balls for just filling out the dex then breed better ones and put those in OG balls. The original is best.

That's what false swipe on a lvl 100 pokemon is for.

What was you guys' worst Master Ball waste?

Mine was on a Lunatone in Meteor Falls in Pokemon Emerald as a kid. My second mistake was thinking that if I released the Lunatone I would get the ball back.

Premier balls actually look special and premium rather than stupid. 100% OG pokeball is acceptable, though.

>When used from the Bag in a wild encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon with a catch rate modifier of 1×.
>If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 0.1×.
So it's a masochism thing?

I'd use my master ball on a cute boy and make him my slave :3

WOAH MOMMA!

kek

>My second mistake was thinking that if I released the Lunatone I would get the ball back.
Not a bad thought desu.

I used my masterball on snorelax in Gold because "whoa, look at how big it is! It must be super hard to catch."

Wait you're kinda force to used Beast Balls on ultra beasts in SM and USUM. In SwSh you only get one of them iirc

you did not catch the legend unless you insulted them by catching them with a dogshit pink healball.
(i unironically did this with every legend for a couple games)

I have ran into TWO separate Shiny Gyarados. FUCKING TWO!!
I could have lived with one, but motherfucking ZWEI!?
Why do the Shiny gods hate me so?
i also caught a separate Shiny Ponyta in Legends Arceus ;_;

The only time I ever actually used the master ball was on fucking Raikou in Silver

I used my masterball on snorlax in blue because it was the last one, I hadn't caught the previous one, it was about to faint, and it had been hours since I saved.

i have balltism, so i choose a ball that suits the color of the pokemon, regardless if it is legendary or shiny.

shiny pokemon was such a lame idea. Most don't even look as good as the original colors.

Premier balls look nice.

my best catch ever was an Entei in SoulSilver with a Love Ball at full health

I'm pretty sure that was the first ball I ever used on him too

Fuck the fucking roamers

Pokemon with slight differences like that one butterfly with a gorillion possible wing patterns is a neat idea
Shinies are too rare for what they are even with all the tricks they added later

So...
Is it possible to use pokeballs on humans?

Only the master ball.
That's why they never came to market.

Pokemon don't have genders besides nidoran

Damn straight I didn't. I edited this fucker in. Game is gay and edgy

yeah, id love if there was to be a to edit the colors of your pokemon in game, that way they would feel more personalized and you would feel more attached. i have seen mods with alt colors, but it be neat if gf adopted it, but they wont because they haven't done anything good in years sadly

I got a shiny Flaffy in Crystal once, took the shitty fucking thing up through the Ampharos evolution until it was stronger than everything else I had

Wasted it on an Aron in Ruby, I was a dumb little kid

There's no indication he knew his prototype worked like that yet. He certainly wasn't intending for you to go find Misty and start her nonconsensual training.

Oh, bittersweet ending to this story: I got all 151 on my original save file without cheating, aside from using the mew glitch to catch a wild mew.
Then the cartridge's battery died.

Basado

Fucking kek. What about the retarded-looking metal mouse made you want to chuck a Master Ball at it

Not to worry.
Once she's fully 'captured, the psycho-indoctrination protocols will *make* it consensual. (See: )

I got angry just reading that

Attached: 12534235321532425.jpg (1280x720, 181.24K)

I did it all, user. It was a sweet riding off into the sunset. I'd have been mad if it was at like 147/151 or something.

If you used the badge boost glitch you didn't beat the game

Every version of the first game, I always try and wear mewtwo down and get him with a bunch of ultra balls. What I found is that, for every version of the game, it's certainly not impossible. But it will be a little more challenging than what you're probably used to. Same with Lugia

What was you guys' go to "cheat code" for catch rates?

Either I had literally the greatest coincidental luck ever or this actually worked for Emerald - I would hold/tap the B and A buttons down at the same time when:
>the ball opened until it closed
>each time the ball bounced
>each time the ball shook
It literally never failed. I caught all the legendaries, even Latios, at full health and no status problems, using it, and I have no explanation why.

nigger what lmao

I don't play shitmon

Oh to add, with normal Poke Balls too

>shiny pokemon was such a lame idea.
It's a pretty brilliant idea because it gives players incentive to keep playing so they can hunt for that specific sparkly color. If you catch one after days, weeks, or even months of hunting/hatching, there's a definite feeling of accomplishment.

>Most don't even look as good as the original colors
Who gives a shit. Black Haxorus, bitch

Hold my breath and drop internal importance, becoming empty and indifferent towards catching it. It was my "magic spell" that seemed to work. The power of intention in the absence of importance is strong I think

I was mashing through the menus like a spastic, I didn't realize until it was too late

Blue was actually the only Gen 1 game I ever got 151 in. I also had to use the Mew glitch. I remember fucking around obsessively as a kid in Red with shit like Missingno and M(00)

In the main games I always catch pokemon in regular pokeballs, unless it's one of my top favourites, in which case it gets a luxury ball if I have them available.

Scream "STAY IN THE GODDAMN BALL YOU FUCKING FAGGOT" at the game
It did not often work

theres a video going in depth on pokemon and it covers which pokeballs are the best, and what increases your chances the most.
if i recall correctly its the greatball and a status effect, would have been nice to know in the early 2000s
the video is josh strife hayes video on pokemon red/blue, he goes into the catchrates at ~1:05:30
