Is it true pressing B or A helps a pokeball?

[Warmmedown]

It's what people used to say. If you wanted to catch it, you press B at the right time or just keep pressing it repeatedly or held it down. If you realised you dont want the pokemon you didn't press. Was it true? Is it true?

No.

I think 1990s internet lied to me. Thank God for Cinnibar Island trick and master balls
