Somehow cloning my Lvl. 100 Typhlosion, by depositing him n Cianwood's PC then flying to each different city in order, accidentally flying to New Bark town three or four times, trying to discover a new cheat, only to discover it actually worked. I wish I had remembered when and how many times I flew to New Bark. That save file is long destroyed, now. It actually cloned him twice, I had three Lvl. 100 Typhlosions. Most of you won't believe me, but I swear on my life that it's true.

I had this exact predicament. I ended u levelling up Pidgeotto. But DANG that fight made me mad! I lost a few times. Ever since then, I've had an OCD of grinding to level 20 before I even leave whatever the first route is. In any Pokémon game.

Micro SD December 25th, 2009 3:31 PM

Anytime I'm traveling through a cave and encounter about 1000 Zubats in about a span of 3 minutes. There was a couple times that happened and I just turned off the game. It's the most annoying thing...

Callandor December 25th, 2009 10:15 PM

Shinies seem to like to come out when you have no pokeballs of any kind. At all! I was on my way to Mr. Pokemon's house in Crystal, and out pops a Red Metapod.

Also, this seems to be a popular thing to complain about. Whitney's Miltank. Whole team of six leveled up to good levels. Knocked out by Rollout.

One name still brings fear to me from those days. Morty, the evil ghost using trainer. He killed one time and his Haunter had about 3 hp left. Killed my hopes and dreams, and my Noctowl

Trying to capture Kyogre and after wasting 40+ ultra balls on it, it struggles itself to death. I wanted to kill someone at that point.

Tox December 26th, 2009 3:42 AM

- Whitney's Gym and Miltank's Rollout.
- Wasting 4 Ultra Balls and 6 Great Balls on Lapras and catching it with a Poké Ball.
- Running out of PP in an important battle and being left with Special Moves.
- Battling Morty with an Eevee.
- The Ice Path between Mahogany Town and Blackthorn City (I spent ages on it when I got the game like nine years ago).

I"LL KILL YOU MY EMULATOR !!! FRICKIN VBA GO F**K YOURSELF !

-calms down-

Mine's quite similar. I took the ultimate monotype challenge found somewhere. I had two save files, which annoyed me so I deleted one of them just to realize, that I deleted the one, where I had got somewhere.

Marilynasol January 4th, 2010 1:41 PM

I have a tendency to erase my games before the hypothetical "end". I think I only beat the Elite 4 once, in my Pokemon... Red? In fact, the furthest I got in Sapphire was to Sootopolis City before I quit and even now in my Pearl (which I haven't played for a while) I have about 30 or so hours logged in and I just beat Fantina.

Back in the days of Pokemon Crystal, for once I made it far into the game. I was around the Tohjo Falls route when I turned on my game to find out it had been deleted. I'm not quite sure if it should be attributed to turning the power off as I was saving the last time (I don't remember doing that), or if it was finding out after I lost it in the backseat of my car and replaying it about seven or so years later on a new file did I find out that my internal battery had died and taken my saved file- and my Feraligatr, with it. I was crying over the loss and called Nintendo Technical Support where some woman consoled me and blamed it on turning the game off while saving.

Mr.Silver January 4th, 2010 2:27 PM

Mine was on pokemon yellow after the elite 4 on Champion blue(or green).
I sent out my blastoise and "woops" a block of random pixels,Thats when i realised my last save deleted my party.
I had mew from the glitch in my pc but seriousally,how could that mess up battling blue.How! HOW!.
I SPENT A FREAKING YEAR ON TRAINING MY POKEMON UP TO THE LVL 80's AND IT DELETES MY TEAM!
GAH! -throws GB at wall-

KopaKura January 4th, 2010 4:10 PM

Mine was waaay back in the days of Pokémon Red when I was very young. My friend had my level 77 Venusaur on his game (can't remember why) and refused to give it back to me unless I cloned it, as he'd just learned how to do the cloning trick.

Unfortunately, he hadn't heard right, and ended up cloning his crappy level 8 Abra instead of my Venusaur. The Venusaur was gone. I cried for a -long- time.

Frequency January 4th, 2010 4:37 PM

*sigh*

I had got to Ho-Oh finally, and I was aiming to get him shiny(Reset FTW)....

After I FINALLY got him shiny, I was throwing the Master Ball. Right when he went in the ball...the batteries fell out when my Brother ran into the room. I like.....broke my GBC then.

I literally beat the crap out of my brother...

Congratulations, I Hate You January 4th, 2010 7:21 PM

trying to chase entei, suicune, and raikou around the map using my pokedex to find their location. they kept on moving as soon as i went to that area and i eventually gave up.

FlameShocker January 4th, 2010 7:38 PM

In my old Yellow version, the save battery died (oddly, since this isn't a Metal Generation game). I have a new save battery now.

EDIT: er, I have a new Yellow Version now. Sorry for the confusion.

Haha, it wouldn't have mattered if he didn't knock them out of the GBC, ROFL. I tried to throw the GBC at him, but he ran, so I like...tossed it at the Kitchen Counter and almost broke the Microwave. :D

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.. ;;


I eventually memorized how to get through the cave without Flash. Lol! I hated to waste a move slot on that useless HM. :/

Mine happened in Silver:

You know how in the PC you can release your Pokemon?

And you know in Yellow (and now in HGSS for that matter) your lead follows you around?

I thought that's what they meant by release. And being a 6 year old, I didn't have the mental capacity to realize what would happen if that's not what that meant. So I tried it on my Quilava. My poor, poor Quilava that I loved with all my heart. And when I logged out of the PC and expected to see my little guy walking behind me, my hopes were crushed. And it wasn't like I could soft reset to take back what I did. 'Cause back then, we had to save every time we switched boxes. It was bad.

EDIT: Just remembered another one. I let my best friend borrow my Charizard on Red to help him with E4. One day I mentioned if I'd be able to get it back. He told me he started over the game. I was so pissed. >_<

ChrisTom January 7th, 2010 6:39 PM

I have at least 6 where I went insane but here are my top 3 best (or would it be worst? I don't know...)

1.I hear alot about Whitney's Miltank. True enough. But I always found Claire's Kingdra to be so @#$% annoying. Yes its water. And my main Johto team consists of an Ampharos. But the thing is @#$% impossible and I have to fight her at least 4 times before I can do it.

2.Now I first got my Pokemon games when I was 6. I was playing Gold and I had just finished Lake of Rage for the first time ever. I had a Typhlosion and other cool Pokemon when I saved and then I turned it on later and pressed New Game by accident. Like zapht I didn't know that you could just turn it off and press continue. So I cried like crazy afterwards because I had never gotten that far

The worst one out of the three.....

3.Alright so I was like 8, and I wanted to get me an Articuno. I was playing good ol' Yellow. I really wish I had the Guide to the Seafoam Islands because I got lost in there. Probably for days. I had Pikachu and Two pieces of crap Pokemon and I had the two crap pokemon faint and then Pikachu was at the point of Struggling his mind out. I don't know why it never occured to me but if I fainted I would go to a Pokemon Center. Anyways it was just really annoying and I had to start all over again.

FalconsDrummer January 7th, 2010 9:28 PM

My first time through a Pokémon game. Blue version. I was . . . probably 8 or 9 years old.

"Look, look, look! I finally caught this thing in my Pokémon game! It's called Mewtwo, he's like the strongest Pokémon in the world!"

Turn on GBC. Load game.

" . . .
. . .
. . . why am I in Pallet Town?
Why am I in my room?
Why are "Pokémon" and "PokéDex" not options in the menu?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

And so ended my first Pokémon adventure.

santi January 10th, 2010 6:02 AM

BHwolfgang January 13th, 2010 2:41 PM
