>>36270135>>36270207The code for catching Pokemon is fucked in the first gen. Getting the Pokemon down to about half health works better. If you get lower, the calculated catch rate loops back, making it just as difficult as if you were trying to catch it at full health. This was fixed from generation 2 onward.
But don't you worry, some dickcheese-licking pissbaby is going to post that it was deliberate and then use your posts to mock Let's Go or some dumb shit. I haven't scanned the thread, they've probably done it already.
