Here's how it works:
* A button: Primarily used for selecting options, confirming actions, and interacting with objects in the game world. When battling, it's used to select attacks.
* B button: Usually used for canceling actions, going back to previous menus, and sometimes used in conjunction with the A button for certain actions (like running away from a battle).
So, while I can't use A and B to catch Pokémon, I can explain how they're used in the game!
