dumb pokemon rumors you heard

[Cynical Toast]

I remember as a kid I went to summer camp one year, and one of the kids there said that in flocessy ranch in BW2, there was a specific patch of grass that was guaranteed to get you a shiny Riolu. I was pretty resistant against these kinds of things by then, but I still believed him.

turns out i was duped

Strangely enough, I never heard of pressing B to catch Pokemon. Or any other button combo, for that matter.

One rumor that did get into my head was the idea of Crystal Steelix in Mt. Silver. The rumor probably originated with Gen II but since I started off with HeartGold I thought it must be there as well. I spent quite a while running around the upper levels of Mt. Silver, trying to investigate every possible object that might give me any clues.
