"If a roaming Pokémon uses Roar to flee from battle, it will permanently disappear for the current save file, unless the player does not save the game after this occurs."

Wow, that's fucked.

I used to be very particular about what Poké Balls I use, too. If a Pokémon looks like it belongs in a certain ball, then that's what I catch it with (Tentacool -> Great Ball, due to matching designs. Shiny Pokémon go in Premier Balls).

I was super autistic about it in Gen IV, though. When trading with friends, I gave them very specific instructions on how I wanted it to be caught. "Male. No nickname. Dusk Ball only." I feel bad for putting them through that.

>Not using Repeat Balls

the only reason i use pokeballs is because i have ocd

starter pokemon, gift and egg pokemon all come out of a pokeball, therefore any mon on my team must also come out of a pokeball

uniformity

I always ditched my starter in my PC and just used Premier Balls for my whole team.

I also generally tried to just have 3 Pokemon in my party unless I was doing the Elite Four

yeah premier balls are dope, but giving up my starter was always too much to ask for

starters are the heart of my immersion in these games

ah, that's how you do it

I work a bit differently, because that's not uniformity to me. A Mewtwo in a regular Poké Ball just doesn't sit right in my head--it belongs in the Master Ball. Most powerful Pokémon -> most powerful Poké Ball. It's also purple, so it couldn't be any more perfect.

yeah that thought has crossed my mind before

unfortunately i think the pokeball's simplistic design is far cooler than anything else except maybe cherish and premier balls, and the master ball is just gross looking so it tarnishes mewtwo's cool factor

i also threw around the idea of using my master ball on the roaming pokemon of each game (dog in fr/lg, eon in rse, etc.) but after gen 3 it's too hard to do so

today in halo 5 i played someone named Rare Entei lol

i hate how you can't change the pokeball your starter comes in, and i'm one of those people who always always has their starter

premier balls be one of the best looking pokeballs tho tbh

Does anyone here run a full playthrough with less than 6 pokemon? I always did a full party, but with Omega Ruby, maybe I should try 3 or 4 instead? It just seems hard to cover some things.

There's a good reason you can't: Indefinitely reusable Master Balls.

Unless you mean JUST your starter? I think it would be neat if you could give them skins or something.

I honestly can't imagine doing that, but it could work. The experience share buff makes raising a full team super easy, though (almost too easy, by some people's measures).

Yeah exp share is too easy because you don't really have to use your other pokemon, and you're generally over leveled every time.

But yeah, maybe I'll just go my 6

That's why I catch all my pokemon in masterballs.

Also, here's a thought.

Catch the Gen I starter you want in Emerald and then trade it to Fire Red.
That way you can use better balls. I hate bland ass basic pokeballs.

you can't capture any starter pokemon, ever. you are given them.

and you can't acquire any of the kanto starters outside of fire red/leaf green's starter system.

you may be thinking of the johto starters, which you can get in emerald after seeing over 200 pokemon, but even then, you only get one.

You might have had them, but they're not located in RSE whatsoever. Must have been a trade, or maybe AR.

To be fair this I the same game that had an RNG glitch one day that gave me nothing but shinies until I reset my gameboy.

I traded them for whatever I wanted at school.

i guess that's fair, but saying you captured the starters is even more of a stretch than the shiny glitch. you can catch shinies, you can't catch starters.
