====Generation I====
In [[Generation I]], fishing is simply a matter of standing next to water and using the rod. The Old Rod will always land a [[wild Pokémon]] and start a {{pkmn|battle}}. The Good Rod has a 2/3 chance of landing nothing each time the player uses it, while the Super Rod has a 1/2 chance.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokered Disassembly of Pokémon Red and Blue by the Pokémon Reverse Engineering Team]</ref> If the rod catches nothing, players can cast it out again. The player can only fish from land, not while {{m|Surf}}ing.
