How unlucky you've been?
 
People ask how lucky you've been on Pokemon games, but how unlucky have you been on dp?

Well with me, I was about to fight cynthia in the Pokemon league, I couldn't find my charger. So I thought i'd go and finish her off with a bunch of level 45-50 pokemon, did quite well to get there with them. And then as I was about to save, the power went off.

Now majourly unlucky, but still unlucky.

On the other note, on a lucky story. I was searching for a Chansey to get a LUCKY Egg, and I saw the Chansey. Used theif, got the egg. Then next thing I know. I see a Shiny Ponyta, and catch it with a quick ball. Quite funny ey?

I can never seem to chain

EVER

ill never have a shiny pkmn of my own :(

EmpoleMew November 18th, 2007 2:30 PM

How unlucky have I been? My most sucessful chain was of Roselia at 26 in Backlot's Trophy Garden. Then it gets broken by a supid Krikitune (however its spelled) because their patches look exactly the same! Also, I had gotten a Chimchar over Wi-Fi a couple of months ago. It had PokeRus. But I had a Wi-Fi battle after getting it and then the PokeRus went away! Luckily, the Chimchar still had the bennifets and is now an Infernape.

Nacon November 18th, 2007 2:40 PM

how about this one... I've yet to see a shiny... 450 hours into the game.

EmpoleMew November 18th, 2007 2:44 PM

Oh, did I mention I could have had a shiny Shinx but because of AR, it was a Shiny Lugia. And guess what? Whirlwind.

i just cant chain

I was in Emerald Battle Tower, and I had my Suicune against a Grumpig. Slowly, I build up Calm Minds, while his Thunderpunches do less and less. Then, he gets a Critical Hit, bypasses my 5 Calm Minds, and kills Cune.

This happened twice.

I hate the Battle Tower.

i cannot chain. i see it as that very few people are born with the gift of an excellent chainer. my biggest chain is 14 =/

Milke November 18th, 2007 4:30 PM

I have never seen a shiny. I have gotten some traded to me, but I have never seen or caught one. EVER. I also can't chain for beans. I feel your pain, Anime!!!!

Lol so you were using an encounter code and a shiny popped up? Could've used a master ball while you were at it.. But that really does stink because it still was a shiny. Dx

Bad luck umm... I accidentally killed a shiny Ponyta while chaining them. No worries though since I still got 7 out of it.. So I guess I'm lucky. :D

Btw if you fail at chaining (which I used to be too), it's good to warm up by soft resetting in front of a legendary or starter to try and get a shiny. :3

J-Rad November 18th, 2007 6:10 PM

muhahah im king of lucky, when at my friends house liek a years ago we decided to combine our efforts to find a feebas so who ever found 1 would breed it and give it to the other, I got to a random tile adn what do ya know its a feebas i was sooo happy. Yeah also a Netabattle that anti cahllenged me in I paralized 1 of his guys and like 3 time in a row he couldn't move cauz of parahax the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

so yeah the ONLY time I get unlucky is chaining..... and cofusion hax, i always hurt my self and my opponent never getrs hit by it :anrgy:

Arcknight316 November 18th, 2007 6:19 PM

This is when I was a n00b Xtreme:
My Rhyperior used Horn Drill 5 times at the Bttle Tower and missed. The enemy's Rhydon used it ONCE and OHKOed my Rhyperior!

shadow charizard November 18th, 2007 6:26 PM

My worst luck was on the silver game.I was training to fight the guy at the end of the silver cave.Well I was half way through the cave and decided to turn it off 4 a breck.When I turn it on to do the rest my game some how reset itself.My best chain was a 20 weedle.I also got a shiny shinx from a 15 chain.But chaining takes 4-ever,So I hadly do it.

exact same thing happened to me, #69th battle, gah. except mine was a wailord with amnesia and i was battling a thunderbolt raichu, chritcal hit, gahh it was a mess.

Lycoris November 18th, 2007 7:02 PM

The first time I played I only had a dusk ball and a master ball to catch Dialga with. I threw the dusk ball, it captured Dialga, but when all the people were talking after the whole even my Ds shut down because of a low battery. I was so Po'ed...

canucksfan94 November 19th, 2007 12:25 AM

I am unlucky because I put a lvl 100 groudon up for trade in GTS and now Wi-fi won't work anymore on my DS for some reason so I just lost a lvl 100 groudon...lol.

TP-BigWill November 19th, 2007 1:02 AM

My chain skills are terrible. One time, I chained a shiny Gastrodon. Only to accidently hit a Wingull patch a couple of steps prior to the shiny patch.....I slamed my DS on the couch in frustration...I'll never get my own shiny :(

But My luck gets worst from there........
I'm in the 42nd battle room in the battle tower. My pokemon faced a sudowoodo with a focus band. At this stage, my pokemon were all steel. Lucario used a CC, Focus band activates, it uses EQ and knocks it out.

Aggron goes out to and Brick Breaks it. Focus band activates yet again, and it drops yet another EQ on me......

Now it's Metagross vs. Sudowoodo. I hit it with a meteor mash. Focus band activates yet again! some stupid BS that was.......That was followed by another EQ that took half my life.

I finaly get rid of it with psychic only to find out the next pokemon new flamethrower. <_< Lucky crap.

Shiny November 19th, 2007 1:05 AM

Hmm the most unlucky thing I can remember is when I was battling a level 15 Magikarp with my level 15 Magikarp..this was in Blue version, so we only had splash ><

On he other hand the most lucky was just an hour ago, I beat the Elite Four first try :P

Ayano Katagiri November 19th, 2007 1:21 AM

Lets see..

- I've accidentally killed the first shiny I ever saw.
- I keep pressing the run button instead of bag when catching Pokemon X.X

Not too many bad things, but the second one happens to me too often for my liking.

El Gofre November 19th, 2007 11:43 AM

I saw my first shiny, i got reallly excited...

Realised it was in battle tower :l

Arumus November 19th, 2007 3:06 PM

I remember on the red and blue games, I was on red and I was doing the 99 item glitch. I saw a bunch of level 250 odd Nidorina's and then missingno, after misisng no. You run, I accidently caught it. For some reason I went into my bag and threw a masterball, how stupid was I? And then my game messes up.

Thought i'd keep the topic going.

Eisaku November 19th, 2007 3:21 PM

I have yet to run into a shiny in pearl... and I've been chaining pretty good... just guess I don't have enough luck. >_<
I did find a shiny shuppet though on Emerald less than 40 hours into the game.... I was so happy!!! I almost cried and screamed in joy!!! XD

Yeah, I have a question about that... what is a missigno????

EmpoleMew November 19th, 2007 3:28 PM

Pretty much all of my games have been void of shinies in the wild. And Eisaku, if you want to learn about Missingno., there's a sticky in the Color/Metal Generation forum. Or check trsrockin. (.com)

The day a shiny pops up in my Diamond, I'll probably scream and toss Pokeballs until it's caught. I suck at chaining and I'm unlucky.

Missingno? Someone's never played Red and Blue. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Image%20Macros/yelwacko.gif

Anyway, Missingno was a glitch Pokemon that appeared from the data in your name, or something. I forget exactly how to make him appear- all I remember is Surfing along Cinnabar's eastern coast and seeing him. What was cool about him was that he added 256 of whatever item was in the sixth slot of your bag after you fought him, meaning infinite Rare Candies. :D

Although my memory is a bit rusty...

Eisaku November 19th, 2007 3:47 PM

On emerald, when I went for my 7th (6th?) badge and i had to fight the twin gym leaders, I lost miserably... even though my marshtomp was almost at lvl 60
