:There are no specific button combinations that affect catch rate in any specific way; it's simply that in the first-generation games, the random number generator is advanced when buttons are pressed, so if you want the random number generator to hit a particular number when it does the calculation ''and you know which numbers are coming up when'', such as when doing a tool-assisted speedrun, pressing buttons will advance the RNG further. It's not something that's ever relevant to normal gameplay in any fashion.

::Also, FWIW, I kind of want to add that the Trivia section may be the ''last'' place that should have an "incomplete" template anyway. It's called Trivia for a reason. If it were me, the talk page here would have been my first resort.

:::Also, what ABCboy added was, pretty much, "as button input could slightly influence the random number generation in the catch rate formulas". This was his attempt at clarification. The entire trivia point is Greek to me, personally, as a casual player only, but I can see how it would be of interest to the right party. I was also going to comment that we don't put "incomplete" in the trivia section, but all the edit conflicts (I got two) got Tiddlywinks' pointing it out in first.
