Question

Every time I press "A," the Pokemon gets away. How do I solve this problem?

Community Answer

You must press “A” as soon as you see “Oh,a bite!” No sooner no later. You will get used to it.

Question

How do I time my fishing in Pokemon Emerald better?

Community Answer

Look at the dot and time it to when it says: "Oh a bite!". Because if you don't time it right, it'll flee.

Question

Why I am pressing the A button, but the Pokemon always gets away?

Kai

Community Answer

Don't spam the A button, press it only once. The way the fishing mechanic works in Emerald is this: You toss the rod. There's a waiting period where you get dots in the text box. It says "Oh! A bite!" Press the A button once; if you press it again immediately, you'll get a message that the Pokemon got away. There's another waiting period with dots in the text box. It says again "Oh! A bite!" Repeat stages 4-6 until the battle starts.
