=====Generation III===== | =====Generation III===== | ||
Starting with [[Generation III]], the fishing mechanic became more complex, as the {{player}} would have to pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooked a Pokémon, or else it would get away. A series of ellipses appear prior to the text "Oh! A bite!", which is when the player should press the A button exactly once. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this required a series of confirmations when using better rods, and the Pokémon will also get away if the player presses A or B at the wrong time. [[Generation III]] also introduced the ability for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to fish off the back of a {{m|surf}}ing Pokémon, which may be required to catch {{p|Feebas}}. This also made fishing on {{rt|4|Kanto}} possible. | Starting with [[Generation III]], the fishing mechanic became more complex, as the {{player}} would have to pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooked a Pokémon, or else it would get away.

In Emerald, if the first Pokémon in the player's party has the ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or {{a|Sticky Hold}}, the player is more likely to get a bite. | ||

In [[Generation IV]], when the {{player}} uses the rod, an exclamation mark-like sign can pop up above the {{player}}, noting that they should push the A button to start the battle with the Pokémon they've encountered. As with [[Generation III]], the Pokémon will go away if the player takes too long. | In [[Generation IV]], when the {{player}} uses the rod, an exclamation mark-like sign can pop up above the {{player}}, noting that they should push the A button to start the battle with the Pokémon they've encountered.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, {{a|Suction Cups}} and {{a|Sticky Hold}} don't increase the probability of bites due to a bug. This was fixed in {{game|Platinum}}. | |||
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the exclamation point will occasionally appear above the [[walking Pokémon]] instead of above the {{player}}'s sprite. | In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the exclamation point will occasionally appear above the [[walking Pokémon]] instead of above the {{player}}'s sprite. | ||
