Poll: Pokemon lacking a 'lefty' mode.

As a Leftie, I sympathize, it is very annoying when some games that utilize the stylus don't have an option for lefty-mode. Some people may not use the stylus and just use the buttons, but that doesn't excuse the simple addition of a lefty-mode for people who need it. Principle of the matter I suppose.

That's pretty harsh.
And it hurts all the more because I am a leftie.
WE SHALL RULE THE WORLD!
Anyway, I found that with Diamond/Pearl when I was in-battle I could use my stylus, then when walking around the overworld I could just hold my stylus in my hand - not really bother with it.
Well, I'm left-handed, and while it would be nice to have the option, I don't really see it as necessary. In videogames, you sort of learn to adapt to the basic controller setting, which just so happens to use your left hand for movement and your right for everything else. Although, I suppose we lefties do have an even bigger disadvantage when using the DS, as it wants you to learn to use a stylus in your right hand, which goes against writing habits. Still, I'm sure it's not so bad that you can't do without, and if you are absolutely unable, simply play two-handed.
You would need a left handed DS for that one... it's not the game's fault, it's the console's...
Either way, you'll get used to it. Trust me.

YES. LEFTIES UNITE!LOZFFVII said:
And welcome to The Escapist
OT: I don't have a DS, but when I play my friend's copy, I don't even bother with the stylus. It's just unnecessary and I prefer the buttons. Still, a leftie mode would be VERY appreciated for when I can actually be arsed into using the stylus. They did it in Zelda, now why not Pokemon?
I'm left handed, but I don't mind using the stylus with the right hand for the PC/Item bag. That's all I use it for, anyways.
I go all classic and stuff for everything else, but the PC is dreadfully slow the classic way. The item bag is also terrible if you play like the old ones...
Still an amazing game- fun fact: the red Gyarados will respawn after you fight it if you don't go and help Lance immediately (I don't know how long it takes, but I've caught 2 now)

It does work. Well, sort of. It can push the RNG to a state where you will catch the pokemon.KimberlyGoreHound said:
The RNG works on everything. So holding the A button while selecting an attack could result in higher damage.GLo Jones said:
To both of the people I quoted: The problem is that it's impossible to reliably do anything reliably without an emulator(savestates/slowdown) and something to see the state of the RNG. But there's no real reason not to hold a specific button when performing any action in a pokemon game.(on average, there should be more positive effects because you're keeping the RNG out of a 'default' pattern)
By RNG do you mean Random Number Generator? How does holding down specific number affect the outcome of the game? I mean this earnestly I'm not calling you out I am actually curious.Flour said:
My strategy was always to mash A and B consecutively. A,B,A,B sorta dealy till the Pokemon was caught or escaped.
On a side not my Computer seems to have a correction for Pokemon to make it a Proper noun. Awesome.
Rotate device 180 degrees clockwise.
I would say I'm surprised, but something about it being Nintendo somehow quells that...

The hemispheres of the brain control the opposite side of the body. The left hemisphere is for logical stuff, and the right is for creative stuff. Your handedness is related to hemisphere dominance. Hence lefties are more creative, and righties are more logical. We are clearly superior.LOZFFVII said:
What makes me angry is that they didn't include a way to move with the stylus. I mean, when I want to be lazy and tap the screen, I don't want to have my other hand doing work too.
Gah... It would have been so perfect if they had just let me be slightly lazier...

Maybe it is YOU who requires a righty mode :OGLo Jones said:
Or just play with both hands. That's how to play PoKèMoN oooold skool
As for the button combos for catching Pokemon, I mash left and right on the D-pad. Oh, did you know that pressing the right buttons during the right frames will make it easier to catch? They've actually confirmed this, sorta like Masuda's Method (breeding pokemon from two games that are in different languages (example: Japanese and German, American and Spanish, etc. All that matters is that one of them is from a version of the game from a country other than your own) will result in having 4 times the chance of getting a Shiny Pokemon).
