Old Pokemon Habits

One of my habits is that I keep pressing the A buttn every time I throw a pokeball and that is moves. It started to me when Iwa young and I thought it brought more more luck on catching pokemon.

ALso when battling, whenever I get hit, I hold the right side (opposite direction of where the HP lowers) of he D-Pad and hold B because I honestly thought the B was "Block" back than and that my hit would cover more. Also I press A and hold the D-Pad at the left side (the direction where HP falls) to "ensure" it did more damage.

I keep doing this even though I know it won't do any good. Kinda odd in my opinion.

Remember me from RSE
I always try and make every pokemon in my pack in a different ball, so i always have to hav epickup pokemon with me so i can get ultra balls and great balls early on in the game.

And ever since box custimisation came in, i would order my boxes from strongest pokemon on the left, and weakest on the right alll the way through the boxes. But now with wifi, i keep a box labeled "originals" which is for all my rares, and a box called "trades" which is their clones. :)

I am also guilty of double saving.

Ever since G/S/C, I have always pressed A + B together when catching a Pokemon. Apparently, that means it works 90% of the time. Not sure which website I read it.

1. I always choose the Grass starter, even when it would be smarter to start with the Fire one. ;001; ;152; ;252; ;387;
2. I add the game's legendary Pokemon to my permanent team.
3. I like to beat the E4 with just 3 Pokemon.
4. I mash A when trying to catch a Pokemon.

My habit for the games?

1. When I get a new game, instead of trying to catch new Pokemon, I just rush through the game, catching only my favorite Pokemon, and beating the Elite 4 with one Pokemon.
2. Name Pokemon like 'Ginger', 'Pumpkin', or even 'Corn'. XD
 

Question the Quilava

Holy! Ambush!!!!
1. I Hold A while I'm dealing damage/Hold B when I'm taking damage

2. I save twice in a row... its like I suffer from a short-term memory loss and save again to make sure.

3. Try to have a nice mixture of gender... 3 girls/3boys

Every time I get up to the Day Care Center, I always put in a really odd pokemon (like Unown or Weedle) and then never withdraw it until well after beating the game because I expect it to cost to much. That's why right now in Pearl, I have a Lv72 Unown. Didn't cost anywhere near as much as I thought.

1. I always have a mix of different types in my team.
2. The pokemon in my team are always the same level as each other.
3. I always nickname the pokemon in my team.
4. I like the pokemon in my team to be in pokeballs.
5. I always have 6 males in my team.
6. I use pokemon that are cool rather than strong.
7. I do the button thing when catching pokemon even though I know that it doesn't work. It just makes me feel better:).
8. I always have a ditto in the day care centre.
9. I have to buy items in multiples of 5.

Quite a few weird habits lol.

1: I always chose the water starter cause I love water-types,but sometimes when I replay Ruby or Sapphire I may choose Treeko or Torchic

2: in Blue,G/S/C,R/S,I always used attack moves cause I thought moves like screech were uselsss,but it changed when I played Colosseum

3: When I try to catch a legendary,I hold down eitehr b,a+b,or a when throwing a pokeball,turn off the volume,and look away,but only a 50% chance of actually getting it that way
