Walking through Veridion Forest to train up my team because Brock kept sweeping the floor with them, and I run into a gold Caterpie. O_O
So I proceed to tackle it, its a critical hit, and the little worm faints. :(
Also, ran into a black Rayquaza after one of the 84932658106783 times I had restarted the Gameboy after failing to catch him. Though of course I failed that time too. *Le sigh.*
Shiny Pokemon aside, there was this time I was playing Firered and I was trying to catch Mewtwo. So my cousin is staying over, and asks to play. I say sure, want to do a favor and catch Mewtwo for me? It had been taking me forever after all and I was getting fed up. I gave him an explicit set of instructions: "DO NOT USE THE MASTER BALL. I need it to catch the Suicune that will run away from me and be EVEN MORE of a pain in my ass to catch. If I could have used the Master Ball here, I wouldn't be asking him to do it in the first place." I figure he's about ten years old, he'll understand the situation, he plays Pokemon too after all he just doesn't own FR or LG.
I was wrong, however. *facepalm.*
