  • Heres one from the deepest crevices of my mind:


    Game: You caught kyogre!
    Would you like to nam-

    Me: What... hey the controls are unresponsive... Dammit! The game froze! It took me several hours to catch that bad excuse for a whale! * turns off *

    Game: Save game data was corrupted.

    Me: WTF! My game was erased!

    WTF.

    Okay, well I had a competent win streak in the Battle Tower of 11, and on the 12th match, there's this Riolu. I send out my Nasty Plotting Porygon-Z, and spend the first turn setting up. Then, WHAM! Brick Break! Porygon-Z has the red HP bar and an annoying bleepy noise.

    Then, just to top it off,

    RIOLU used Bullet Punch!
    PORYGON-Z fainted.

    My sweeper, who's been in every one of my Gen 4 games, got KO'd by a Riolu.


    Damn.

    So, I send in Godzilla, my Quagsire, and kill this noobish CPU with Surf.

    Also, this happened about five minutes ago.

  • My true wtf moment happened recently: my Aquanette had a gender change. I originally had a female azurill, and named her the very feminine name of Aquanette. Then she evolved into a marill, and I noticed her symbol turned into the blue male sign. WTF?!

    I thought it was a glitch, but I read somewhere that because azurill have a female to male ratio of 75:25, and marill are 50:50, it somehow turned into a dude. So I had its name changed at Goldenrod to Aquadude. That was very strange.

  • My WTF:
    I felt so jealous when I heard that my friend caught Dialga and Palkia in Platinum with ONLY ONE ULTRABALL. Well, same happened to me with Ho-oh and Lugia. Why? Every time I tried to catch them, they would either break out every time, K.O. my team, or I K.O. them every other time, and I was forced to use a Masterball out of frustration.

  • So I'm surfing from Mahogany to Ecruteak, right? All's good.

    THEN RAIKOU APPEARS ON THE WATER.

    biggest wtf I've ever had in a game. I can understand Suicune, but Raikou, yeah whoa.
    I had the same thing happen with Entei...very awkward.

    My biggest WTF moment was when Lance fainted my entire team with his Gyrados until than my Steelix...and then I won. Not his Gyrados, Charizard, Areodeactyl or any of his 3 Dragonites fainted Steelix (I only used 2-3 Hyper Potions surprising)

  • This happened in HeartGold:

    In the patch of grass at the end of the bike path, I ran into Latias! I didn't expect to run into it so soon, a few minutes after I talked with the Hoenn champion in Vermillion City.

    There is a Ninja trainer in the Battle Castle that says, "You, transgressor! Hold still, I say!" Then he shows up again in the Battle Arcade.

    Also in the Battle Arcade, this rich lady trainer says, "If I were Honey, you'd be Gooey Mulch, I think." I can't believe she would say that.

  • Well, on the previous page, I posted about narrowly defeating Bruno.
    After that, I managed to defeat Karen and went on to battle Lance.
    My team was around level 62 at the time.


    I wasn't expecting the level 72 Salamence! o.o WTF?!?!
    It took me so long to defeat that, I knew I couldn't win. Ampharos managed the Gyarados and then his Garchomp destroyed me.

    That was the first loss I've sustained in this game. TTATT

  • This wasn't really a WTF Moment...it was a bit more of an "F U" moment:
    In the Goldenrod Radio Tower, your Rival says that disguising yourself is the typical idea of the meek. Well, HOW CAN I EVEN PROGRESS IN THE GAME IF I DON'T?

    Okay, so I encountered a Mantine while training my Crobat, so I thought, "Cool, I might as well try to catch this rare Pokemon." I didn't want to use a Flying move since I had a Shark Beak and Crobat was about 13 levels higher than Mantine. So I used Bite, and got it in the yellow. Then I confused it, but even by hurting itself once it was still in the yellow. I tried to catch it with a few of my little amount of Great balls and failed. It snapped out, so I confused it again. This time it didn't hurt itself, so since I didn't want to attack it and I didn't want to waste any Great Balls, I used Confuse Ray which of course failed since it was confused. But then it snapped out again, so I confused it again. This repeated until I was all out of Confuse Rays. By then Crobat was in the red, and could've been defeated by a Bubblebeam, and I had 1 Great Ball left. I took a chance since I could just SR, and threw it, this time successfully catching it! I may add it to my monotype flying team. (By the way, thanks if you took the time to read this wall of text.)

    Finding a Shiny Pidgey in the beginning of my game and not being able to catch it -.-

    wtf.
    This happened to me too, except it was a Sentret. I hate it when that happens.

    Morty had his Haunter use Curse.

    It was his last Pokemon.

    It had less than 50% Hp.
    Eusine did the exact same thing. I mean I expect wild Pokemon to do that, but it's just sad when a trainer does it.

    Not really a WTF moment but this is pretty hilarious.
    Route 32 fisherman says this when you don't accept his offer for his phone number:

    Oh...My own kids won't eve give me their phone numbers...I guess that's just how young people are these days.
    Epic LOLZ!

    Second moment:
    Pigeotto: Quick Attack
    Mareep faints.
    Pigeotto is paralyzed, it may not be able to attack! WTF!!!
