This week I reworked the monster catch mechanics. It's no longer as easy as clicking one button. Here are the rules for catching a monster:

• All other monsters of the opponent's team need to be defeated, otherwise they will protect and block the catch
• The monster needs to be under 50% health
•  The lower the health of the monster, the more likely it is to be caught successfully
• You only have 3 tries per battle to catch a monster (may be more later with skills and items coming soon)
• You can only catch wild monsters. Monsters of other trainers cannot be caught.

Two things that will probably come in later:

• Make some monsters harder to catch or make high level monsters harder to catch 
• Status effects like sleep will improve the success rate

Let me know what you think. Do you have any other ideas how to make monster catching more challenging or fun?
