=====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}} and {{rt|14|Kanto}} possible. In Emerald, if the first Pokémon in the player's party has the ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or {{a|Sticky Hold}}, the player has an 92.5% chance for a bite.

In Emerald, if the first Pokémon of a player's party has {{a|Hustle}}, {{a|Pressure}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}} there is a 50% chance that the Pokémon the player fishes up will be the highest possible level. Since Pokémon that have been fished up are not generated until after the player has confirmed a bite the abilities {{a|Intimidate}} and {{a|Keen Eye}} have no effect when fishing in Emerald.
