I tryed to beat Red on Silver while I was on the way home from school, playing on my SP. I beat him, so I put the game in my backpack as we pull in my stop with the credits rolling. when I got inside, I found that my game froze up on the credits. :(

MarstheCar November 8th, 2009 5:29 PM

I made it to Mewtwo on my first try, and found out I couldn't catch it without the masterball.

The Red Chain November 9th, 2009 3:48 PM

My brick the GBC moment was indefinitely at the part with that god forsaken Rock Tunnel in RBY.
I hate that part of the games with a burning passion of a thousand desert suns.
Worst part was that I was too lazy to get a Flash slave back then, so I made it much harder on myself.. ;;

In victory road where the karate dude looks around for a fight. When I was 6, when he saw me I smashed my gameboy at the wall. o.O

PhoenixChild November 10th, 2009 7:59 AM

Oh yeah, I hate those.

Lil' me: Come on...! I want you in my team Lugia! D: Get inside the ultra ball! This is the 5th one so far!
*43 ultra balls later..*
Lil' me: Ugh...I'm about to...Hey, let's use a pokeball.
*catches Lugia*
Lil' me: YES!!! YEAH OH YEAH!! Lugia is mine! After all those ultra balls! YES!!
*Game freezes and turns off itself*
Lil' me: ...huh? What? No...wait..! O_O
*Save file deleted.*
Lil' me: ......AARGHHH!!!! Curse you battery! *throws the GBC onto window sill and starts crying on pillow*

Probably the most annoying problem I've had Is usually when I save the game. I used to be able to save once and turn the GB off, come back to it a few hours later and find out it didn't save.

To this day I save about 3-4 times before I turn my GB/DS off. Paranoid, huh?

HaloSonic November 11th, 2009 2:02 PM

the only moments like that I remeber was probably beating Lance the first time, and Ash with his snorlax.

I used to do that, lol. I still did it when I got my GBA, and grew out of it when I got my DS.

When it went out of battery.
Always at the most awesome moments.


"Oh you caught a Chansey, did you? Oh. I don't think so."
"Well, was that a Zapdos? Not anymore, no sir!"
"Super Awesome Mofo Red? Who's that?"


Seriously.

Charizard★ November 15th, 2009 4:39 PM

I finally caught a shiny Lugia and my power turned off :X

Interesting...I don't seem to remember that one.

Either way, my biggest I am going to kill this damn machine moment was back in Silver. Being a 7 year old child, I didn't realize that one Feraligatr wasn't enough to beat Lance (even though in the end it was...). I went through it like 50 times...and finally won! Saved and turned the game off (was on vacation and conveniently got to the house right as I won). When I turned it back on...

"Save File is corrupted...clearing memory"

I hate that game even today...

System! November 15th, 2009 5:52 PM

All right! A Chansey!
Whaddya mean it missed!?
HEY, COME BACK HERE YOU STUPID PINK THING!

Yay! Another Chansey! I'll catch her this time!
This time I'll use bait!
WHAT!? YOU STILL RAN AWAY!?

Third time's the charm!
Hey, let's try a rock this time!
WHY AM I SO STUPID!? SCREW THIS, I'M GOING TO GLITCH CITY!

PokemonLeagueChamp November 15th, 2009 6:10 PM

Let's get the E4!
*owns E4, beats Lance somewhat easily*
Let's go through Mt. Silver!
*reaches summit*
Let's beat Red!
*sees Red's first Poke*
Wait.....
*realizes his team ranges from LVL 40-58 post-E4*
Oh ****.....
*gets owned, and really pissed and hurls GB at wall*
Okay, let's turn it on and try again.....

YOUR SAVE FILE HAS BEEN CORRUPTED.



****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LyokoGirl5000 November 15th, 2009 7:48 PM

I was five and playing Pokemon Yellow. I had a level 64 Pikachu and had beaten every Gym except the Viridian City and Saffron City Gyms.

For some reason, I couldn't find the Card Key. Eventually, I started over and saved. Twenty minutes later, I found out how to get the Card Key from a guide.

Bobby Emerald November 22nd, 2009 2:57 PM

I remember the first time I played Pokemon Crystal, I thought that I had gotten stuck permanently in the Olivine City Lighthouse. I just restarted my game and when I got back there I realized there was a way out....then again, this isn't really a "throw your GBC at the TV" moment, since I was better off the second time playing it(pokemon team items, etc.), and just shrugged it off.

La Foudre November 22nd, 2009 5:31 PM

Whenever my gameboy would freeze up while I had just beaten a gym leader.

Ciervo Volante November 23rd, 2009 5:29 PM

Wild Meowth Appeared!

Meowth: *is shiny* 8D

Go! Seadra!

Me: *accidentally clicks bubblebeam instead of bubble*

Seadra used bubblebeam!

Meowth fainted!

Me: 8D...8l...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

GrassGiant November 24th, 2009 4:58 PM

Hypno used ThunderPunch!
It's Super Effective!
Enemy Dewgong used Rest!
Enemy Dewgong went to sleep!
Enemy Dewgong regained Health!
Hypno used ThunderPunch!
It's Super Effective!
Hypno used ThunderPunch!
It's Super Effective!

It's Super Effective!
[Dewgong's health is now down to like 1 HP.]
Enemy Dewgong Woke Up!
Enemy Dewgong used Rest!
Enemy Dewgong went to sleep!
Enemy Dewgong regained Health!

At this point, I was like "ho ho ho okay, let's do this again and hope for a Critical Hit..."

FIFTEEN MINUTES AND SIX "RESTS" LATER, I WAS SCREAMING IN FRUSTRATION AND WANTING TO CLIMB INTO THE GAME AND THROTTLE PRYCE AND HIS STUPID DEWGONG. I haven't completed the gym yet because I turned my GameBoy off before I used Crush Grip and burst it. This was just like Juan and his stupid Kingdra. BAH. :|||||||||||

ETA; ahahahahahahahahaha!
Tauros used Strength!
Critical Hit!
Enemy Dewgong fainted!
THAT'LL LEARN YA.

GlitchCity November 28th, 2009 8:35 PM

arghhh! Facing red and his stupid snorlax! everytime I get close to killing it, it uses rest! >> it makes me go bonkers!

Pokefreak437 November 28th, 2009 11:32 PM

Spent all my time playing my Crystal game. Played, and played, and played. Nearly all my Pokemon were high leveled. One day, I go to play my favorite game. Flip on the game and....
My file was deleted. I was devasted! lol... It was a few years ago, though.

craZ pokefan November 29th, 2009 8:18 AM

Hokorashiimesuinu November 29th, 2009 1:17 PM

ok, i was about 4 and i'd stolen the save file on my brothers pokemon blue and i'd just beaten gary, i jumped around with it in my hands and the game froze, i literally cried, and there's the time i completed it in 56 mins (thankyou missingno) and my internal battery ran dry....>.<

ShinySilver November 30th, 2009 7:52 AM

For some reason I wanted to see how high Blissey's HP would go, so after weeks of constant playing I got it to level 100. Saved and turned the game off. The next day I let my bro play it and he started a new game and unwittingly saved it.

zapht December 1st, 2009 6:43 PM

once i had just caught Luiga (and i was in like first grade so it was a BIG deal :P) and i was so happy i decided to let my baby sister play pokemon. and she was just an infant so she started just pressing random buttons and she hit New Game. and me being so young i didnt know it didnt erase the other save file if you didnt save it again so i just restarted >.<
