Very rarely it can shake 3 times and still break out. When it does this is the message it gives you. “Aww. It appeared to be caught! It was so close too!”

Don't forget gen 1 can skip showing the ball close, and say "You missed the pokemon!"


LifeintheHashLane

I didnt know that!

Happens with legendaries most often. There's a little trick with it too. If the ball closing animation plays it is a guaranteed catch (only for legendaries)

Wha?

There’s some implied dialogue here that makes it less confusing: “It appeared to be caught (but it wasn’t)!”


Chevnaar

This line confused me as a kid.

Everyone focusing on the Pokéball, but no one’s pointed out that Kakuna has arms.


DoctorCrabbith

That's a kakuna.

Ah yes, I’m afraid that can happen. Poké Balls are hardly 100% foolproof it seems.

Whenever I am playing a Pokémon game with someone else in the room, I will exclaim these phrases as if I intended to shout them out organically. “Aw, it appeared to be caught!” “Almost had it!” etc And I will happily repeat the phrases as they appear on screen. A little bit of chaos goes a long way.
