Big thread of Wifi

I guess that's true, as maybe it's just more of a personal preference of which you would rather have first. There are things such as version exclusive pokemon, but that's about it as far as version differences go that I've noticed.

I just like Ho-oh over Lugia. Soulsilver made me angry as I caught the legendary beasts on heartgold but was unsuccessful in SS.

Ehh... that's not the game's fault if you can't catch legendaries >.>

True, if you absolutely can't catch it, then why not go with your Masterball? Many people may not like using it, but as a last resort, I say its ok if you must, but in my opinion, not liking a game because you couldn't catch a pokemon just doesn't make sense. Although, if you rather Ho-oh over Lugia, then sure. Or, if you look at it a different way, by getting Soul Silver you could catch Ho-oh at a much higher level 70. That is, if you can catch it, as that may have been the hardest time I've had catching a legendary.

zapdos/mewtwo was harder for me ._.

[GrizzlyEatsKids]

I caught Zapdos with the first pokeball I threw at it. It was ridiculous.

[Desbear]

*lowers zapdos/mewtwo to like 1 HP* *had 999 ultra balls* *RUNS OUT*

[GrizzlyEatsKids]

lol, I don't know how many I had to catch Zapdos, but what happened to you, I had a similar thing happen to me on SS when trying to catch Ho-oh. Then, on white, when I went to catch Kyurem, I wasn't going to catch it, just trying to see if I could find the place. Turns out I got there and challenged it. Then I found out I barely had any pokeballs of any kind at all. I ended up catching it with less than 10 tries.

[Desbear]

Kyurem: first pokeball.

[GrizzlyEatsKids]

Oh how I hate catching legendaries.  Makes kind of glad there won't be any in PU. Although it seems as of when trading online with others that what most of them want. Either legendaries, shinies, or rare level 100's. Especially through things like GTS negotiations.

My experience with catching Lugia in Soul Silver:

-Has 50 Ultraballs along with an assortment of other pokeballs
-Gets Lugia to very low HP, no status afflictions
-Throws Ultra Ball; Fails
*10 minutes later*
-On last available pokemon, throws last Ultra Ball, Fails
-Lugia attacks, and puts pokemon's HP into the red zone; annoying sound effect starts
-Just for the hell of it, throws normal Pokeball for no reason

I think you can guess what happened next...

Beldum has been the most difficult for me to catch... in Platinum... with only Take Down and in Sandstorm weather... that thing kills itself generally before you catch it. But hey, I managed to get one after a while with my Duskballs

[Darkstar64]

I would think the best strategy for a pokemon like Beldum would be to immediately throw a Quick ball, then if that fails attack it a few times until it's health is in the yellow zone, then just throw any kind of pokeball that would give you better catching rates.
