How do you catch a pokemon?

[DrNova]

I want one.

[Bafoon]

Go to the [Shop](http://www.yougotrickrolled.com/), and buy a pokeball.
Throw at pokemon, tadah.

[Keebler Elf]

Im assuming it will involve some pretty extensive genetic engineering to a animal.

[Bafoon]

Ive done it to my dog, engineering him into a growlithe. He now lights my household items on fire and pretends to be an eevee after. Damn bitch didnt come with a warning label.

You use the rare candy cheat, but put a master ball in it's place in your bag,

Swim up and down constantly next to that little island with Gym 8 on it. Fight misingo. And you'll have 99 master balls buldging from your bag. Throw them at anything to catch it ;D

Rumor has it you can even catch and tame robin ;)

[Draken]

First you need a chicken

[Then you tinker with the DNA](http://io9.com/5345688/scientists-create-dinosaurs-by-tinkering-with-chicken-dna)

then you have your own Charzar

Press and hold Down + B-button.

First you need to carve and craft a well made holding capsule for your pokemon. After you have crafted it out of fine space age metal, you must find the pokemon you would want. Proceed to knock them out with the pokeball. Remember, the scarier the pokemon, the stronger the ball you need. Pokeballs won't work on bears.

But I wanted to catch Renzo and have him fight Robin for your entertainment.  ;D

[DrNova]

Good idea's.

Now, where do I FIND a pokemon?

[azure]

*points at Captain Evilbunnie* That's a poket monster if I ever did see one.  ;)

[JSchilli1]

Just go find some tall grass, and shuffle around in it. Bring Pokéballs.

Not that hard really.

Or just ask your local professor.

-JS1

[renzo]

Move to Japan, I hear they are all over the place.

[kender the great]

Different regions usually contain 150 different new ones you haven't seen before.

[ToshiroHayate]

Careful though. If you approach tall grass zones without a Pokemon, a crazy old guy will stop you and lecture you about his dreams.

[Ruins of Hell]

Tired of all the "trolls" posting here. Here is a 100% proof guaranteed guide to getting Pokemon.

Format:
1\. STEP
>PROBLEMS
SOLUTIONS

1\. Insert your game cartridge.
>I don't have one.
Go buy one.
  >I don't have money.
  Get money.
>It's not working.
Blow both the cartridge and the slot.

2\. Turn on your GameBoy.
>It's not working.
Check for batteries.

3\. Play through the same washed-out cutscene and fill in your gender/name.
>I don't know my gender.
Check.
>I don't know my name.
Make one up.

4\. Go to the professors house and pick a starter Pokemon.
>WHICH SHOULD I PICK!!?!??!
Generally, fire is the coolest. So pick the fire one.
>How do I know which is the fire one?
It's red and usually has flames all over it.

5\. Save your game and shove your GameBoy into an envelope.
>It won't fit.
Try harder. Refrain from reaching for a hammer.

6\. Write a letter, it should look something like this:

_Dear Nintendo,
    I bought your game thinking that I could catch them all, and that real pokemon were included. Imagine my face when I unwrapped the package, gleaming at the contents. The possibilities ran through my mind. My [starter pokemon] would [insert way a pokemon might help besides slave labor]. But my [starter pokemon] did not miraculously pop out of the screen. I would like to request a refund. Inside you will find my GameBoy. Please inspect it for defects.
~ Pokemon Lover

>I can't write.
Just copy the symbols on the screen.
>I can't spell very well!
Don't worry! If you can't spell, you can skip step 7!

7\. Add childish spelling mistakes. Ex: Add childsh speling mis takes.

8\. Wait 7-14 business days.

9\. You should receive a letter like this:

_Dear Pokemon Lover,
    There was a defect with your Gameboy. In this package you will find a Pokemon Glasses, which will enable you to see Pokemon, 12 Pokeballs, and lastly, your very own starter pokemon! Enjoy!
From,
Nintendo

10\. Wear the goggles (look like sunglasses but green with a yellow rim). Get a belt to attach the pokeballs to, and begin your quest to be the very best!

> I just noticed almost everyone has pics of pokemon for profile pics

You, sandshrew, JS1, and Wingull do not make up "most" of the eclipse users.

[Devogen]

This is how you catch a pokemon.


[luriok]

Lol Devo. Thats how I do it, and I just 'caught' Mewtwo

[antho3000]

Devo I've tried your technique but now my pokemon doesn't move, it does nothing. Did I'm doing something wrong?

[Devogen]

No thats right, thats whats supposed to happen.

[uberplayer]

1\. Fly To Japan (Land of all mystic and messed up toys)
2\. Take 3-4 Ninja lesson
3\. Survive the training
4\. Go buy a bag
5\. Grab a pokemon and put it in the bag a pokemon (still in japan, silly americans know that all anime lives in Japan :) )
6\. Take it out and handcuff it
7\. Make it you slave :)
Hope this helped, don't get Mystic fired or Giga Impacteded :)
