>>13574452I think he was referring to the actual fishing mechanics in R/S/E.
In Fire Red/Leaf Green/all games prior to R/S/E, you could cast your fishing rod and then just leave the Pokemon to bite onto the hook themselves.
In R/S/E you have to actually press A in sync with the Pokemon biting the hook, like 'Oh! A bite!'...........'Oh! A bite!' until the battle starts. Sometimes they would take like six tries before the battle would start, and you'd have to constantly have your attention on the screen otherwise it would say 'Oh.. it got away...'.
Fuck that shit. There's literally only one use for the rod, why don't they make every use of the rod a Pokemon encounter? Why even bother with the 'Not even a nibble' shit.
