Those 'Throw your GBC at the TV' moments.
 
We all know what these are. -rolls eyes-

Mine was probably when I went through the whole glitch to catch Mew, finally caught it after like thirty PokéBalls, and then my game ran out of power. :X

*XXX soft resets latter*

Finally! Shiny Porygon is mine! Hahaha!

*Power Outage*

*O.O

*Turns on power next day, though VERY discouraged*

*Finds out save file doesn't work anymore*

... ... ... ...

ARRRGGGGHHHHH!

When I got to snorlax in C to the first time....

At the time I didn't know what the story was about at all, as I was very young and didn't understand English... I learned it all through expimenting.

My sister said you needed to wake snorlax with a flute you got from a Cleffary doll or something, but my mother bought one for me and I couldn't complete it she said.

I started over again, as a girl to show my sister and called my acc ABCDEF, 5 minutes later a guy told me how I should get past snorlex. I broke one of my ac adaptors :').

Okay.....I'll try to remain calm while telling my story (so I don't throw the computer XD)

I had Yellow version, right? I had just recently caught 150 pokemon (all except Mew, of course). I had, what I believed to be, the coolest pokemon in the game, all at LV 100, which included: Pikachu, Charizard, Zapdos, Dragonite, Mewtwo, and Gengar. I had never completed the pokedex before, nor had save file I was so proud of.

Here it comes. *cringes*

My friend's step-mother picked up the game. Of course, she has no idea that you can only have one save file at a time. Starts a new game, gets pikachu, and saves over my super awesome file, while I was in the kitchen. I pick up my game (which seemed to be exactly where I left it) to find my save file with a time of 00:03.

o_O WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?

She didn't know what she was doing/had done, so I never got in her face about it (but I really wanted to).

......It's all good. *twitches*

I remember beating Crystal and getting the Pokedex complete up to about maybe 3 or 4 Pokemon, then I turn the game on one day and the internal clock was dead. My heart broke that day. I lost my favorite Pokemon I ever had as well. My first level 100 Meganium.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ October 12th, 2009 8:48 PM

1. Chansey hunting in the Safari Zone.

2. Running out of Pokeballs during the Bug Catching Contest in Silver.

3. Whitney. Miltank. Rollout. When I had Quilava and Pidgeotto and an underleveled Geodude.

Lord_Sesshoumaru October 13th, 2009 6:50 PM

In my Crystal

I encountered Entei

with just one Level Ball

I finally caught it

but the battery ran dried

So I screamed and yelled

until I got tired

Aurajade October 14th, 2009 9:15 AM

I Had the time when I beat Clair, then the game froze. I Threw it at the TV, While Pokemon Heroes was on.

Zodiac Realm October 14th, 2009 9:21 AM

i beat the champion in gold and the gameboy ran out of power so i threw it at the tv and i got grounded coz i broke the screen:(

mondays suck October 14th, 2009 11:26 AM

I always recharged my batterys as soon as they started to get low, so never had problems with power outage, and i'm lucky my internal battery hasn't run dry yet.
So, the most annoying things for me were by hax being against me, losing to seemingly overpowered bosses like Misty or Whitney, and catching rare pokemon, especially in Safari Zone

Panfisha October 14th, 2009 8:25 PM

When I encountered my rival at the underground department store in silver. And his golbat used confuse ray, then bite repeatedly. I hurt myself from confusion 3 times in a row, and 4 times in a row I flinched from bite. I must have used 10 super potions and switched 3 pokemon out, each getting confused and flinching for 7+ turns.

560cool. October 16th, 2009 12:28 PM

Actually , I once SMASHED a Silver Cartridge in PIeces (I found that in my Garden and I didn't know whose was it .

Masterge77 October 16th, 2009 12:35 PM

Tesla SD October 30th, 2009 1:18 PM

Had JUST finished the Crystal pokedex after finishing a trade with my brother, then wallop. Power disconects during the trade.

What do you know, we BOTH lost our Lugia and Ho-oh's. I was like......BALLS.

*Tosses GBC out the window and hits the neighbor's mailbox*

Yes, I took my crystal out before that. :/

spann3rman November 1st, 2009 5:17 AM

This was in gold version, i had around 64 ultra balls from what i remember, and 99 great balls. Went after lugia in the whirl islands and ran dry on ultra balls. after another very annoying hour later i caught the twit with great balls and went to save my game...

"SAVING DO NOT TURN OFF THE P-"

Battery ran out >:O
I turned it back on "your save file is corrupt"
OMFG! I headbutt my Gbc and the screen cracks >:B

i wised up after that and now i use the master ball on the Vba hehe take that lugia

yaminokaitou November 3rd, 2009 7:33 PM

I had all 151 pokemon in Red and then my game, which is super glitchy, randomly decided to die on me. I was mad because I had taken a picture of my completed dex and was going to send it to Nintendo Power, which was printing peoples' names who had beat the game, but I never got to thanks to that.

emimcg123 November 8th, 2009 10:27 AM

Mine is when i'm trying to catch a pokemon, and i just can't find it anywhere, or i find it but accidentally kill it :(
