In all pokemon games I've had or have, when ever I go to catch a pokemon I press A repeatedly.
Now I think it does somthing because with my Dialga I caught it first shot with a poke ball, whislt pressing A over and over again.
Does my doing this make me have a higher chance of cathing a Pokemon? or does it just hurt ur hand?

I understand it does absolutely squat. I think someone just started a rumour about it (way back in the days of Pokemon Red/Blue) so they could giggle when everyone near them kept hammering away needlessly at a button.

I'm pretty sure stuff like that has no effect... that doesn't stop me from holding the A button while the Pokeball shakes though.

In ruby and sapphire something DID help and this is no fluke.
You press B+A until the ball hits the ground and then imidiatly take your fingers off it..
Wait for it and then your pokemon will be caught.
It worked when i was catching azelf and mespirit(Caught both first shot)
