Your Worst Pokemon moments ever!
 
As the title says, this thread is about your worst moments regarding Pokemon games, for example:

When I was 9, my Pokemon Gold wouldn't save anymore. But I still played it because it's my favorite game. Anyways I went three days without sleep, I was playing it non-stop, trying to beat it. So on the third day, I finally got to the Elite Four, with all my Pokemon at Lvl 50-60. So my older cousin comes up and starts beating me up, and he punches the SP, and I hear my Pokemon Gold freeze up. Then I got mad at him and started to punch him, although it had no effect, then ran into my room and cried, I never played Gold ever since...

HamsterPants June 15th, 2009 8:50 AM

When I was a kid my little brother used to overwrite my games with characters by the name of "AAAAAAA", since that was the only letter of the alphabet that he recognized at the time. He did it about 6 times, and I beat him up about 6 times, but we get along now though. :P

BeachBoy June 15th, 2009 10:29 AM

Thread regards Pocket Monster games? Cool, then it goes in General Pokémon Games.

hence why I'm moving it. o/

The Roshi June 15th, 2009 10:39 AM

My worst moment was actually in-game. In GSC I always used quilava and trained basically only it and like one other pokemon. (I was 9, didn't really care and it was easy enough to go through the game with bare minimum). Whitney was always a huge problem for me because she had that freaking miltank with rollout. One time it took me over an hour to beat her. After I finally won, I accidently bumped my hand (holding the gameboy) into my bed and the cartridge shifted... Had to do it again. I hate whitney.

Ayselipera June 16th, 2009 10:44 AM

I just remember I was playing Silver and
I had gotten so far... and then I dropped
my gameboy and it froze...:(

Cheesymitten June 16th, 2009 11:03 AM

Getting through the Elite 4 on a fake Leaf Green cartridge and getting very far, and then it suddenly deleting itself, i got angry at that :(

Prince of Cats June 16th, 2009 12:52 PM

I've done it on a number of occasions, but for instance. Playing Pokemon, breeding for natures and IVs or EV training. Etc. All that jazz, only to buy a new game for the DSi. So of course, I immediately want to start playing it, give it a whirl and give Pokemon a break. I'll forget to save and lose all that hard work. I have to sit down and will myself not to break my system. Any of you that know the time it takes to breed for natures and IVs know what I'm talking about.

I've gotten better at it though. I tend to save way more than I use too, but I rather over save then forget to save XD

Calvo819 June 16th, 2009 5:37 PM

accidently released a Female Evee i needed...

12.5% chance of one coming from and egg, di you know that?

The Girl from the Well June 16th, 2009 5:58 PM

Going through Mt. Coronet on Pearl, and I encountered a Geodude. Now, it was no regular Geodude. It was a shiny! I felt really happy, so I lowered its health into the red zone. I got excited, and went to my Pokeballs. Then I realized...I didn't have any. I was so disappointed. =[

*Nayz* June 16th, 2009 10:42 PM

I remember with my first play through on Red I was so close to completing the pokedex. Then one day I turned it on and I got the 'corrupted file' message. :(

Wings Don't Cry June 16th, 2009 10:49 PM

The first time I played my Pokemon Silver was in Japanese and I wasn't very good and I only used my Typholosion and I was at Vermillion and I wanted to test what everything did and I released my Typholosion

Camisado June 16th, 2009 10:53 PM

Don't "corrupted file" messages usually mean you turned it off/did something to the cartridge when you were saving? =/

I have a habit of turning off my DS when I heal at a Pokémon Centre. For some reason I see it in that moment to be "Marina saved the game" or something like that, and then I turn it off and realise Dx

The most annoying thing that happens to me is when myself and a major character (like a gym leader, rival or Cyrus) are down to the last bits of health on our Pokémon, and he defeats me with some sort of haxx >>; or you think you're winning and they use a full restore, or you find that tank of a Pokémon actually has a Sitrus berry or something.

Fire Eagle June 17th, 2009 4:12 AM

My worst Pokemon moment was when I was attempting to catch an Absol at level 32 with fifty Ultra Balls. I would say that the Absol was really hard to catch for me, but when I used my hundredth Ultra Ball, I caught it.

jmadude June 17th, 2009 7:50 AM

My worst pokemon time was when I found a shiny Ralts, after a while I had lowered it's health to yellow and couldn't capture the lv. 14 shiny Ralts. So I took my lv. 6 geodude to get its health to red and by some freak accident it was a critical hit.

Rakki-neko June 17th, 2009 8:00 AM

Critical hit on a Shiny Onix in Silver Cave after 3 hours of searching for a shiny (my friend had got one and kept rubbing it in my face)... i think thats how I broke my Gold if I remember right

Kazukii June 17th, 2009 8:05 AM

When I had an obsession with pressing the power button my ds (original version) and then every now and then when I held it for too long, I'd lose everything <_<

Lance June 17th, 2009 8:33 AM

Waah! I had to sell Leaf Green,but I put Emerald to mail! I losed my only over 70 lvl. team!

Not sure, but I wasn't crazy enough to do that(especially considering it says in caps not to).

cerulean15 June 17th, 2009 10:56 AM

I've had two, both on the same game. When I ran into my first shiny Pokemon, Poochyena, on Pokemon Ruby. I was so excited I lowered it to red. Bad part when I checked for pokeballs, I had none. Second mistake was I always saved before trying to catch Rayquaza. Since I was on a summer trip I forgot once after I had failed and Rayquaza had killed itself with struggle. I had got mad and flew out of Skypillar. I did some training at the Pokemon League, saving in between battles, and decided to go to Skypillar again, forgetting I had already lost my chance of Rayquaza. I finally remembered that Rayquaza killed itself and felt like kicking myself because I couldn't catch it ever again....that was until I heard of Emerald. Got me it now, but it stil hurts. Didn't play anymore after that happened.

LOL So nostalgic. I had similar issues before except with Blue, although it's the reason I made sure to not save when the battery is low anymore.

The Apprentice™ June 17th, 2009 11:09 AM

Worst moment for me was when I had red version and I had beaten it and collect almost all of the pokemon and my game froze as I was about to trade and I lost all my progress =( what a horrible day it was for me

altaria221 June 17th, 2009 12:42 PM

lol, never had a shiny problem like some, after reading those i always have a large selection of poke balls with me. :)
However, i have accidently shut off my game because i am half asleep and think when nurse joy says thanks or whatever that my game is saved, then i turn it off (this has happened countless times to me)

zZRaoto June 17th, 2009 12:47 PM

Another one is me constantly cloning my Typhlosion in Gold until the file became corrupted. I lost a Lv.100 Lugia, Lv.90+ Typhlosions, a shiny Crobat. (Back then I was young and just having one Lv.100 was the **** back then.)

Another one is when my Crystal cartridge literally broke in half.

I don't know which one is worse. I guess my Crystal breaking in half is worse...........

processr June 17th, 2009 12:54 PM

The worst thing that I've ever had happen to me is some hax in the Battle Frontier to lose a streak just before facing the Frontier Brain - nothing major. I've always been astute enough to save before any major battles/legendaries. ._.

Deoxys55 June 17th, 2009 1:18 PM

Found a shiny Linoone is Sapphire.

Double kicked it.

Calvo819 June 17th, 2009 8:40 PM

just happened today. didnt buy any pokeballs...

guess what i found today? SHINY F***ING SMEARGLE.

and i didnt have any pokeballs... :(

cayr June 17th, 2009 8:50 PM

i my worst would have to be:
i was tricking this stupid kid to give me his chimchar(cause my starter was torterra) and i was gonna give him a magikarp i told him they were hard to get but easy to evolve and as i was gonna give it to him i went to the bathroom and my brother grabs my ds and instead of giving him the magikarp he gave him mi lvl 87 torterra totally ev trained i kicked his ass n then i got grounded for a week

Kirbychu June 17th, 2009 9:01 PM

When I was traded a hacked pokemon on the GTS and my Diamond's data was deleted. :/ All my GBA pokemon were gone with it. That's about 5 years of pokemon, all gone in a split second. I rarely use the GTS now.

Cornelius June 17th, 2009 9:37 PM

I was playing Diamond and came across this shiny Luxio. I had a Staravia, a Lunxray, and Torterra, but they were all too strong to weaken it to a small bit of health, so I kept using swaggers with my Luxray to weaken it that way...it hurt itself and fainted.

Apathetic_Yen June 17th, 2009 10:14 PM

I spilled Mountain Dew on my Silver. A couple of months later the game loses the ability to save.

mamoswine1423 June 17th, 2009 10:40 PM

That would be when a junk person almost beat me...
he bet if the person would win they have to give the other person all the pokemon aw i was bumed then i got a better team

skorupoke June 21st, 2009 9:51 AM

I turned on my Emerald and it said ''The save file was deleted...''

How can that ever happen??? :( :( :( :( :( :(

Echoing Song June 21st, 2009 3:23 PM

I went all the way to Giratina in my Diamond... only to realize that I didn't buy any pokeballs... so I sat there for a few hours throwing the three I had until I caught it... I'll never fight a legendary without at least 30 Ultra balls now

System! June 22nd, 2009 7:40 PM

When my Silver stopped saving.

It was a tragedy. ;_;

Blaziken_Boy June 22nd, 2009 7:50 PM

Wow, you all have really sad stories about yours.





Mine was when my Yellow's battery died.

Calvo819 June 23rd, 2009 8:06 AM

i just remembered.

I was playing Crystal on my cpu... on the way to fight red... all of the sudden... SHINY DODUO!!!!!!!!!
then i accidently pressed Apple+Q instead of Apple+Tab (on mac, Apple+Q is quit app, and apple+tab is switch tab) to switch to firefox.

so i accidentaly quit the game.

dinosaurodon June 23rd, 2009 1:14 PM

My tragedy
 
One New years day, in January 2008 i had caught a Moltres and Articuno with Ultraballs WITHOUT SAVING and went on to Zapdos. Then while fighting Zapdos I noticed the DS's light was on red but their was nothing that i could do .So Alas I tryed to capture Zapdos as fast as i could, but i failed and never played Leafgreen again. O and btw this didnt really happen on new years.

kiv_umar June 23rd, 2009 2:07 PM

Well after a year or so of hardcore EV training with my team i had:
Typhlosion lv.100 (trained from a hatched egg)
Lucario lv.100 (trained from a hatched egg)
Torterra lv.100 (Starter)
Swampert lv.100 (Starter from Emerald raised to lv.100 on the GBA! - received through Palpark)
Staraptor lv.100 (trained from being my 2nd pokemon)
Luxray lv.100 (trained from being my 3rd pokemon)
they all had great items held which would improve their battle stats and so on.
in my box all legendaries with the help from the GTS and many other Pokémon including at least 5 shiney Pokémon 2 of them being Charizard and Groudon) and many more..
well anyway.. i bought a Nintendo Wii and Pokémon Battle Revolution soon after, i went to copy my data from my game to the Wii system memory so i could battle with all the pokemon i had on my Pearl, and to my COMPLETE HORROR as the Pokémon were being copied over the data on my Pearl MESSED UP!!!!! :( i almost cried man lol.. wait i actually DID cry lol

Turke June 26th, 2009 4:44 PM

Mine was when I was at mu silver, on the way to fight Red. I had a team of all lvl 100s, and my sister made a new save file, and named the character Stacy...That was 6 years ago, and I still cry myself to sleep every night...

jquad_666 June 26th, 2009 5:02 PM

i maxed out all my pokemon and was about to complete my pokedex in emerald when i accidentally made a new save file thinking i was playing ruby.

holaboy June 26th, 2009 6:33 PM

Hmmm my worst thing was when i was playing my diamond a while back(2 years XD), I had like ALL the events at that time, then i was stupid and accidentally erased ALL of it.....I was so pissed, still kinda am lol

Skystrike June 26th, 2009 6:44 PM

Oh, mine is Deleting my emerald file.
I am sad ;_;
Also, mine is...... LOSING MY PLATINUM GAME!!! :( :( :(

GreyShadow June 26th, 2009 7:14 PM

A couple years ago I lost my Game Boy. That wasn't that bad cause I could have gotten a new one but...... Sapphire was in it. Sapphire was my first GBA Pokemon Game. I still cry about it. (Luckily my Emerald file made up for that). My second worst was when I had a whole team ready for the Pokemon Video Game Showdown 08. It was kill against all of my friends, but at the tournament I lost on the first round because the guy had a Smeargle with Dark Void. My Pokemon didn't wake up until it was too late. If he didn't do that I would've won for sure........

Oblivion Reaper 2.0 June 26th, 2009 7:30 PM

When I was playing yellow,
all the pokemon were replaced by boxes
I started to cry
but then my mom told me the cart was not in all the way
so naive

ravenboy9 June 26th, 2009 7:37 PM

I remember playing Crystal, and the I find a shiny Hoothoot. And as half of the posts here, I had no balls. Atleast i hadn't bothered lowering it's health before checking though. And one time playing Ruby, and the Sky Pillar was hard for me. It was taking me forever, and I was using my GBA so I could battle my friends, and the DS was not invented yet. And at the last crack on the last floor, my battery fell out while I was getting excited. And the countless times my lv. 100 Swampert was defeated by a lv 70 Tropius, or a lv 70 Double Team spamming Rayquaza. Oh, and my dad is a car dealer. one day from coming home, I left my Gold, Silver, Yellow, Red, Blue, and Game Boy Color in the truck we were in. i went to get them 10 minutes later to discover my dad sold the truck. I was left with a GBA and Crystal.

SuperBob June 27th, 2009 5:23 PM

When I was fighting a team of Magikarps... (All they do is splash around) I mean seriously, how can you expect to win a battle by having 6 magikarps using splash only?

Noel June 27th, 2009 5:30 PM

My first time ever getting into the Battle Frontier on Emerald, I'm so excited and as soon as I'm about to enter a multi battle the power goes out.... I was just so excited that I played through the whole game without saving...... Grr

NoMasterBallsNeeded4Legends June 27th, 2009 6:42 PM

i acidently used my master ball on a (its too embaressing NOT to put in a spoiler)
Spoiler:
Mgikarp

and i didnt know until i fought mewtwo, and when i did find out,i made a new file: i should of traded my team out:
6 level 100's
149 pokemon (all i had left was mew+ mewtwo)

TheAliveTrain June 27th, 2009 7:52 PM

I lost with a Jynx in the Battle Frontier Tower, she defeated all my 3 Pokémon, and well I threw my GBASP into a wall. And I broke it, in other words. I still have it, as I stopped playing and later bought a DS, so I may post a screenshot to show you it is xD

Sure, my worst moment ever. Arggg Jynx!

Mika June 27th, 2009 8:56 PM

Probably Pokemon Puzzle Challenge, Intense Mode, almost did it without a continue but then I sneezed and Lance destroyed my Pikachu with his dragonite and that was the last pokemanz I had. ;-; IT WAS DEPRESSING. But I still love that game. Cuz it has puzzles and stuff and it's just not the normal little thing

Worst game moment was screaming at my GBA sp in that mach bike stuff...cuz I forgot to switch from my acro in Mavile

Starsky June 28th, 2009 4:45 AM

My worst moment was in Ruby when I was battling Steven.Both of us were down to the last pokemon my swampert VS his metagross.For my swampert's attacks all the PP ran out and it kept using struggle.It almost destroyed metagross when when it used some attack and KOed my swampert.Worst part was that I saved before the Elite four so I had to go through it again:(

The Darkest Gale June 28th, 2009 4:47 AM

mine was when I had a wooper. Bored so I started lving it up
lv 55 and ds shut down >_< I had to start from lv 11 again XD

Ephraim June 28th, 2009 5:08 AM

Wow. You guys are hardcore.

Giratina ♀ June 28th, 2009 5:53 AM

Losing my Platinum would be the worst right now... though one time my Pearl copy sat for a year and a half in my backyard and it still worked when my father found it.

Absolute worst? Seeing three shiny Zubat in the same run of Mt. Moon on FireRed. Playing on a GBA screen, the green Zubat look brown, and I just figured it was a glitch and fainted all of them. When I actually found out what Shinies were, I was running around Mt. Moon for days trying to get another one... no luck.

Jas1995 June 28th, 2009 6:27 AM

My worst time was probably i think it was last year, i was heading for gym badge 3 and some guy said he'd trade me he gave me about 4 pokemon, charmelion was one i can't remember the rest but they were really powerful good ones he gave me some eggs too, then later on i told my friend and she told me they were clones and they were unfortunately and i'd traded them an evolved starly,shinx,turtwig and squirtle.
I was really upset and started the game all voer again because they didnt obey ither!

Giratina ♀ June 28th, 2009 6:37 AM

You know you could have stored them for when you got more Gym Badges and they would obey you, right?

Jas1995 June 28th, 2009 6:44 AM

Maybe, but i was left with non of my own pokemon, i could of caught one and trained it but i didnt.
Good idea actually.

Giratina ♀ June 28th, 2009 6:47 AM

Truth.

Probably would have been fun to play through the game with only, say, a Luxio. xD

aribradshaw June 28th, 2009 6:49 AM

In my pokemon diamond version i went in a cave, and i found a lv. 9 shiny geodude!!! so i caught it and, then i brought my beloved arceus that my friend traded me into the safari zone, AND IT DELETED ALL OF MY SAVE DATA!!!!!!!!!! i was so mad for a long time.

The Darkest Gale June 28th, 2009 6:58 AM

wow thats crap =( I would kill my friend for that (not actually but it must of been hacked don't trade with him)

RHCP June 29th, 2009 7:30 AM

Ooh, mine is when I was facing this Bug Trainer in (whatever that forest is called in Saphire) and his last pokemon was Cascoon. All my pokemon had been knocked out, except for my Silcoon. The problem; The only attacks they knew were... HARDEN. So, there we were, taking it in turns to raise our Defense. I was stuck. I had to turn the game off :( No one could win anyway!

You can't trade eggs... >.>

Giratina ♀ June 29th, 2009 7:49 AM

Yes, it's possible to trade Eggs as long as you have a mature Pokémon in your party. Also, there's always Struggle when Hardens run out.

Silhouette June 29th, 2009 8:25 AM

I left my Diamond Version at my friend's house once, and when I got it back, I had a whole box of Starly, Bidoof, Kricketot, and Magikarp. All with nicknames, including Dr. Mario, Mew, Fan, and Fence..

You can trade eggs... ^.^

kellogs June 29th, 2009 9:30 AM

Probably when i accidentally faint a legendary,the most remembered was Suicune,Wanted to weaken it just that little bit more to get it and it died on me D:

Meadow June 29th, 2009 9:50 AM

When I lost my Swampert in the PC.

kiv_umar June 29th, 2009 2:33 PM

lol some of you guys have had it bad lol

Silhouette June 29th, 2009 2:45 PM

Does anyone remember that sidequest in Gold/Silver when you get the Spearow named KENYA, and you have to give it to that fat guy by Dark Cave?

Well, never give that mail to an important Pokemon. I lost my Lugia that way DX. I would never forgive him. Not even for that lousy TM!

XLoGyBeArX June 29th, 2009 3:14 PM

my worst pokemon moment: when playing Ruby, the first pokemon you fight (poochyena) was shiny. And, of course, you cant catch the poochyena attacking prof. birch... =(

Zero° June 29th, 2009 8:37 PM

other worst moment: I was playing ruby, training at meteor falls, then I encounter a shiny effin golbat, tried to catch it but i ran out of balls, so i killed it. the next morning I told my friend, and both of us spent three hours looking for another one, never found it though.

When I got sapphire, I had the habit of always saving before i turned of the game. So i went over to my friends house, and he asked me what the main guys name was, so i started a new game as May, then i saw the main guy an talked to him, then i accedently saved the game as may and had to start over. ah well, i was only 9

RHCP June 30th, 2009 9:53 AM

Really? Well, they say you learn new things everyday... >.>

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ June 30th, 2009 2:03 PM

As I can think of now its a tie between using my masterball (back in Pokemon red) and while trying to catch Moltres on Island one, running into a shiny Geodude which it used Explosion on me -.-"


:t354:TG

manhattan July 1st, 2009 4:36 AM

Reached the top of the battle pyramid in Emerald and lost spectacularly.
I didn't save.

And when I was finishing the game, accidentally killed Rayquaza, and my cousin saved over it like the ***** he is.
I was so pissed.

-.-

Satoshi Ookami July 10th, 2009 10:06 AM

Long time ago when I was starting I played Yellow and when I reached the Articuno I wasn't able to catch it and I beat it and accidentally saved after it so I couldn't have caught him... I was really sad that time...

tontex July 10th, 2009 2:45 PM

Pokemon TCG I was at the final person, I had a magikarp, they had a dragonite. If i had drawn any type of energy card (i think thats what they are) i would have won and I remember thinking that before I drew. I didn't get it, and lost, and i had spent so long trying to win. I cried

Miss Soupy July 10th, 2009 3:06 PM

I remember getting the move Headbutt for the first time in Gold. I headbutted the bushes like crazy, and eventually came across what seemed the best Pokemon yet; Aipom. I wanted it so badly at that moment, and of course, I caught it. A few seconds later, I dropped my GBA; and not only did I lose the Aipom, I hadn't saved in about an hour. .____.

Yuuko July 10th, 2009 3:40 PM

Getting stuck in Sapphire E4. I kept getting beat really badly by them and I was stupid enough to save after I beat the 2nd E4 and I kept doing poorly against the 3rd one I think.

Calvo819 July 10th, 2009 3:43 PM

i wanted to start over my game, so i borrowed my friends DS plus Diamond. i takes me 7+ hours to transfer over my good pokemon, over to his catridged, then back over to mine. When im done, what pokemon did i forget? Shiny Charmander -_-"

Xyo July 10th, 2009 3:57 PM

I was using my friends Golem, (he traded his Graveler to me so I could use it to kill something, it was lvl 99 :D) and it evolved into a Golem, and he always wanted one then I forgot to kill the thing I wanted to kill, and I think Golems are fat, so I released it, not remembering it was my friends, he got SO mad at me. :D
