  • We all know what these are. -rolls eyes-

    Mine was probably when I went through the whole glitch to catch Mew, finally caught it after like thirty PokéBalls, and then my game ran out of power. :X

  • When I got to snorlax in C to the first time....

    At the time I didn't know what the story was about at all, as I was very young and didn't understand English... I learned it all through expimenting.

    My sister said you needed to wake snorlax with a flute you got from a Cleffary doll or something, but my mother bought one for me and I couldn't complete it she said.

    I started over again, as a girl to show my sister and called my acc ABCDEF, 5 minutes later a guy told me how I should get past snorlex. I broke one of my ac adaptors :').

  • Okay.....I'll try to remain calm while telling my story (so I don't throw the computer XD)

    I had Yellow version, right? I had just recently caught 150 pokemon (all except Mew, of course). I had, what I believed to be, the coolest pokemon in the game, all at LV 100, which included: Pikachu, Charizard, Zapdos, Dragonite, Mewtwo, and Gengar. I had never completed the pokedex before, nor had save file I was so proud of.

    Here it comes. *cringes*

    My friend's step-mother picked up the game. Of course, she has no idea that you can only have one save file at a time. Starts a new game, gets pikachu, and saves over my super awesome file, while I was in the kitchen. I pick up my game (which seemed to be exactly where I left it) to find my save file with a time of 00:03.

    o_O WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?

    She didn't know what she was doing/had done, so I never got in her face about it (but I really wanted to).

    ......It's all good. *twitches*

  • I remember beating Crystal and getting the Pokedex complete up to about maybe 3 or 4 Pokemon, then I turn the game on one day and the internal clock was dead. My heart broke that day. I lost my favorite Pokemon I ever had as well. My first level 100 Meganium.

    2. Running out of Pokeballs during the Bug Catching Contest in Silver.

    3. Whitney. Miltank. Rollout. When I had Quilava and Pidgeotto and an underleveled Geodude.

  • I always recharged my batterys as soon as they started to get low, so never had problems with power outage, and i'm lucky my internal battery hasn't run dry yet.
    So, the most annoying things for me were by hax being against me, losing to seemingly overpowered bosses like Misty or Whitney, and catching rare pokemon, especially in Safari Zone

    When I encountered my rival at the underground department store in silver. And his golbat used confuse ray, then bite repeatedly. I hurt myself from confusion 3 times in a row, and 4 times in a row I flinched from bite. I must have used 10 super potions and switched 3 pokemon out, each getting confused and flinching for 7+ turns.
