I chose Charmander, got to Viridian and back with Oaks package. Got my dex and balls. I caught a Pidgey in Viridian. I could not catch anything else. No Poliwag or Goldeen in the water. Weedle or Caterpie on land. Rte 22 I couldn't catch Mankey. I use a controller, I hold the left bumper and hit the corresponding button and my character will not throw a ball. Beautiful game so far though.
