Yup, the dialogue is cringy as well. And most text is SLOW in the older games before Gen 8
I had a recent one happen with Chi-Yu and after 30 pokeballs and he was paralyzed and i didn't have anyone with False Swipe....then i finally caught him.
(I originally used the Master Ball on that second Miraidon that waits in the crater after the credits)
Wow. Yea it's frustrating.
