So. Bad. Timing.

When I first started SS and I ran into a pokemon every 2 steps...

I got hit by a critical hit on the opponent when they were on their last pokemon in red health making me lose. This happened to me against Roark, Candace, Volkner, Flint and Lucian on Platinum, which made me think I had a glitch on my game, so I traded my pokemon to my Diamond, started again and trading back.

In my Soul Silver, I was training my Staraptor in Kanto when... A SHINY LATIOS APPEARED! Too bad my Mean Look Crobat was in my PC.

dont be too disappointed, if its shiny once, a roaming pokemon will always be shiny (as far as i know, i could be wrong)

I always get those. I step somewhere and I hope to myself" don't get a wild pokemon!" and then that specificallly happens :|

Honestly, after knocking out so many Pokemons because of freak accidents, I began carrying my Scyther with me at all times. His False Swipe always prevails in needed time! I fear knocking out the Pokemons nowaday to be taking chances.

I also have the back luck of running into wild Pokemons when my Pokemons are down or critically injured. They either get critically damaged by the wild Pokemon's attacks or was poisoned. I would then finish the battle with only 1 HP left before being attacked again. My Pokemon can't escape, and then the battle is over. I lose one happiness point and Nurse Joy is scolding me for not being a good trainer.
