Do you still use the Pokeball Trick?

[fondlexmonkie]

I tap 'a' like a crazy woman and think up a nickname for the Pokemon that I'm trying to catch, except when I caught it I was always to lazy to type in the nickname and just sent it to the PC. Mwaha. :\

[Eyyoshi]

I would allways press A wildly and hope it actually does something to help and oddly i still do.

It's not a fake! :o!

But yeah, I used to. Now I just use Masterballs >_>

EPIC LULZ@ YOSHI'S SIG. It does the Souljaboy in there somewhere :o

[Ling]

i didnt knoe that was a trick but i tap A repeatedly it helps me

[pika128]

i just held a and closed my eyes.....seemed to work really well.

Actually you typed the trick wrong. Whenever the pokeball makes that clicking sound & captures the pokemon press down & A.

I think this trick is fake.
My lucky charm is to press "A" REALLY hard.

I have been doing that since the beginning of time, err... at least from Gold and Silver. I think the habit has been psychologically drilled into me. Pressing A repeatedly is like... uh... gives me the "sense of security". Lol! It actually gives me something to "do" instead of sitting there and looking at it.

i agree, i think its just the fact that its been said it works so much that we just use it without thinking, i personally think it makes a difference though

There is no "right" way to do the trick, if the trick exists at all
