Trainer Rage (comic)

Why is it so hard to catch a sleeping Pokemon?! I don’t care if it’s legendary, it’s just sitting there passed out! GET IN THE DAMN BALL ARTICUNO!

I don't know why he bothered dumping it out at the PokeCenter.

I mean, it was already in the box.

At least Nintendo hasn't made a legendary with Sleep Talk and Self Dest....On second thought, I'm not finishing that sentence.

Pokemon trainers like that have no soul...
I mean, him, Silver...

BTW
young pokemon trainer... learn from the best... use an UltraBall, or one of these:

and don't forget the RedBall

If at first you don't succeed, duct tape.

I am reminded of the time I sought to capture a Ditto in FireRed. I'd tried catching it in Mewtwo's cave, with the three legendary birds to fight off anything I didn't want and to weaken any Ditto that did appear. Two hours and a couple hundred Ultra Balls later, I had no luck.
I tried relocating to the Cinnabar Mansion, thinking that I would have an easier time catching a lower-level Ditto. Again, an hour passed and Ultra Balls were wasted. I caught absolutely nothing in there.
With that failure, I had a sudden thought. Ditto takes on all the properties of the pokemon it transforms into right?
I facepalmed very hard, multiple times, and switched out Moltres for a Rattata. Boom, I had one in less than 5 minutes.

Who needs poke-balls? All you need is duct tape... And NOTHING ELSE.

Am I the only person who's never had a problem catching the harder pokemon? I'm seriously not trolling, I'm asking this legitimately. I swear on my unborn son that I've never had a problem catching anything legendary or whatnot. Am I just the luckiest damn trainer alive or something?

Is it just me, or are today's legendaries getting easier to catch? I mean, I caught Victini with a Great Ball,. and Reshiram with an Ultra Ball. No hax, no a+b+down.

40 Ultraballs and 60 Pokeballs fail to catch a Ho-oh on low hp while he's asleep and confused.

One great ball later, bam, catch.

Isn't a certain series so consistent.

moltres was my hardest pokemon to catch for me... after about 2 hours of reseting (yes i saved and then reset over and over!) i finally got moltres after getting it down to about 3hp, asleep, and paralyzed. and having like 3 of my pokemon knocked out

how many times did i run out of pokeballs, accidentally kill it, die because i played it safe... ugh!

oh sure scientist can create pokemon like castform and porygon but when comes to capturing pokemon they make us use unreliable orbs that break when it fails to catch the pokemon. also after 5 generations how come nobody mass produces master balls?

this wouldn't happen to be made in light of brainscratchcomms's pokemon playthrough would it?

I'm not Gary Oak, but once, I caught Suicune with his half health no stat effect with POKEBALL!!!

even the hardest pokemon have less than 1 in 100 to catch at 1 hp and thats with a pokeball and no status effect, Dialga/Palkia/Reshiram/Zekrom are much easier because they are a required battle.

This happened to me once, i only had 10 fucking pokeballs and articuno had 1 hp and was asleep. That was fucking bullshit until i caught him with the last ball. No shit

The artist is Justin Hall, who goes by JHALLpokemon on DeviantArt.

I'm surprised there isn't more of his stuff on here, he's got a wonderful sense of humor related to Pokemon.
