That's what happened to me. I'd just press A+B to keep the Pokemon in the PokeBall. I thought it worked because when I went to catch Zapdos, I caught it with full health. Now I'm condemned to pressing A+B every time I throw a PokeBall. I also thought you could get Mew by surfing the water where the S.S. Anne was in Blue. It was a dirty trick played by some Internet chump...
Me too! I thought I could find Mew in the S.S. Anne's waters..... I dont know if this is true but they say in RGBY if your game time reached 100 hrs. S.S. Anne would return.
