It was in Yellow, when Brock defeated my Rattata and my Spearow, resting only my Pikachu against his Onix. Well, most attacks of Onix missed and I defeated him using Quick Attacks =D.
The other moments were when I encountered Zapdos & Moltres!

Capturing Mewtwo with a Pokeball. Sleep and 1HP left due to Hypnosis & False Swipe. Best combination ever.

Also, before, I had a battle to see who could win in a fight- Lv. 70 Mew or Lv. 70 Mewtwo. Mew won. Note- I was 8 when that happened.

00kmilo00 March 30th, 2010 10:25 AM

mmm
when i catched mew xD
when i was against gary and i have my mew and in against his blastoise i used metronome because one friend say, use it, what can else happen?, and it used selfdestruct xD

Saren March 30th, 2010 10:40 AM

In yellow when i realised that pikachu stayed out of it's ball. Thats my fav part of soulsilver =)

Heart's Soul March 30th, 2010 10:51 AM

Just took Yellow out. Went against the Elite 4 for the heck of it. I'm at Blue, perfect, he's stuck with his only Vaporeon (but I only have a Mew) and I used Metronome. I GOT SPLASH, OF ALL THINGS! I thought it couldn't get worse, so I used Metronome again. I used Explosion and he survived with 1 line of pixels. I black out and go back to the Indigo Plateau.

Worst. Battle. Ever.

catching missingo, saving.

Legobricks March 30th, 2010 6:33 PM

More fridge logic than omgwtfbbq, but I was always baffled at how the player character was supposed to climb down Slowpoke Well. I mean look at it, it's just a straight hole, no stairs, nothing.

FlayedTree March 30th, 2010 7:34 PM

WOW lots of ppl have a "special" moment
there was once i was playing yellow and i didnt know how to use flash or wat is was for so i jst leveled every single one of my pokemon to like 40 something or so wit random battles, trainer battles etc (really had no clue wat to do). 2 weeks later i found out how to get through and from then on my pokemon failed me time and time again :(

Enigma March 30th, 2010 9:24 PM

Going through the Rock Tunnel without Flash and discovering the next day that you were supposed to use it. XD

Brendino March 31st, 2010 2:50 AM

My moment wasn't actually something that happened in game, but it was when I borrowed Yellow from my cousin when I was younger, and I caught Mewtwo for him without using the Master Ball (I was quite impressed with this feat after reading my Pokemon handbook that said the only way you could catch Mewtwo was with the Master Ball). I was so excited that I decided to go call him, and I left my Game Boy on the couch. Somehow, my sister got a hold of it, started a new game and saved over his file all within 5 minutes. I can tell you for a fact that neither one of us would let her come within 50 feet of our games for years.

I always found the unfailing reliability of youngins to save over other people's games amusing. It's deliberate in all cases, I think.

Heart's Soul March 31st, 2010 8:40 AM

I remember this. My sister borrowed my Yellow and she played Pokemon and beat it. She sold all the Rare Candies she got because she didn't know what they were for. I told her later. It was funny/sad, but she was at level 60-something.

WKnite March 31st, 2010 9:24 AM

Attempting to go through Seafoam Islands. I could never get passed it on the original games. The first time I spent 2 WEEKS trying to figure it out. Then for some reason I flew to pallet town (not knowing I could surf down to Cinnabar) I saw the water and decided to see "what was down there" Now I only go to Seafoam to capture pogeymanz. (I did actually get through it once in FireRed)

ChrisTom April 2nd, 2010 12:29 PM

For me it was how strong Blue's Pokemon were. You guys aren't gonna believe this, but when I first named my Rival, I thought Professor Oak was just asking MY name again to make sure it was right. I speak english as my main language, but I was 6 at the time, so it was slightly understandable. Both houses said "ChrisTom's House"

theatrebabe April 2nd, 2010 2:19 PM

My first game (red). I was in celadon (i think) and i was in the pokecenter, and i noticed for the first time the other half of the building where the link station was (i only had 3 pokemon, so no use in going over there i guess haha) and they said that i need a friend to go into the rooms. so i go out in the game to try and befriend the people in the city! haha so im in the hotel thats there, and there is this kid on the couch and he says something like "i wish that i had a friend to play with" and i must have prompted him to talk at least 20 times while yelling at my game boy screen that i could be friends with him so that we could go into the link room! hahaha

Riverwind April 2nd, 2010 3:31 PM

I saw missingno and I was like WTF IS THAT. xD
....I never caught missingno.....

RyeChoo April 4th, 2010 1:17 PM

When I found out Pikachu can't evolve into Raichu ...

i stoped playing after crystal April 7th, 2010 12:27 PM

the first account i ever had i found missingno by accident, i though my game was broken.

xPsychosocial April 12th, 2010 1:28 PM

When I first got Blue I used to cry and scream when I couldn't lower a Pokémon's health in the Safari Zone. I thought throwing rocks was meant to be an attack.

hyperblast81 April 12th, 2010 2:44 PM

Ooh, whats this box? It must be strong! *Catches Missingno*

Break time!

Mom..MOOOOM, whered my save go?

*Crys in corner for 2 and a half hours*

pkmn.master April 15th, 2010 5:26 PM

It's the glitch "a" that I had on my GB cartridge. I had a solid team of glitch Pokémon obtained via "Ditto Trick". I was a great glitch hunter with my cousin. One day while experimenting after being poisoned, we were being healed at the Pokémon Center. It showed Poke balls and glitch blocks all over the screen. The screen turned white, and without touching anything, we could hear the menu open and save the game by itself. After turning off the game, the file was corrupted. Curse you, A!

Before those events, we enabled the Charizard M' glitch and beat the Elite Four and Champion. Even though we had glitch Pokémon, The Hall of Fame showed a Raichu in color!

hate1212 April 18th, 2010 7:21 AM

;D
 
Lol I remember when e and my sis 1st got when i was 5 We Got a Charmander And we went Through like half the Game without catching a Pokemon cause we did'nt know how to Till when morning She woke me Up and she caught mewoth and other pokemon because she finally went back and talk to that guy in That road But we had a beast charizard by then But I remember When i was playing I got a MagiKarp and i was bout to cry becasue I though it would never Evo But my sister told me to never give up Then BAMMM iT DID

Good sir, you don't need FLASH to get through MT. MOON last time I checked. That is a cave that doesn't require that HM. Perhaps you're referring to DARK CAVE outside of LAVENDER TOWN? But still, dayuum!

Meh, I'm thinking about 2 weeks ago. I had just beaten the game for like the bajillionth time, and then I go to turn it on the next day and the save is gone! I save a new save, and sure it loads just fine! I was going to import my Pokes into the original Silver.

Sero April 23rd, 2010 9:09 PM

I caught a Metapod in the Viridian Forest. I thought that Harden would win me the battle. I used up the PP and was low on HP. I used struggle on his Geodude and Metapod fainted.

Amilyia April 23rd, 2010 9:24 PM

I think everyone will agree on this one and that everyone's wtf moment is when ever you walk through a cave and Zubat pops up.

HaloSonic April 23rd, 2010 9:29 PM

my first moment of confusion came when i tried to get through the ghost tower on my cousin's save, and i never knew about the silph scope at the time, so i kept on struggling my way up to Marowak, only to always have to run.

I once got my hitmonchan to transform into my pikachu once, when I battled a ditto once (or twice) when i cloned the metronome TM.
my other startling moments were pretty much missingno related, cloning my first set of master balls, TMs, Rare Candies etc, but the most startling one was encountering pokemon that were overclocked on their levels... and were able to be caught too! i caught a Lv 242 Rapidash with 480someting HP.... only for it to level "up" to Level 100, throwing half its stats in the can! I don't consider it my first level 100 tho, at least not a normal one (that honor goes to my saphire starter, Blaziken)

Fxcking Tatertots April 23rd, 2010 9:38 PM

I was about... 9-ish when this happened on Red Version...

I just taught my Charmeleon Rage. It was my first play-through. Of course, Rage back in the day went on continuously. All I remember was having my accuracy so low, every single Rage attack towards a trainer's Oddish missed. After 10+ minutes, Charmeleon died. All it did was Absorb me into oblivion.

Needless to say, I also "learned" Rage right after.

I agree. Seriously, Zubat and it's evolutions appear in every damn cave in every region (Besides the Pokemon ranger regions). When I played Pokemon when I was 8, I complained that every time I stepped into a cave, a stupid Zubat appears. Dx

_____

A while ago, after screwing around with my screwed English-translated Green Version, this was WTF worthy.

I have no idea how the heck this happened, but it was funny to me at the time.

Glitchy Chamander used Huffel Shoffel! (Something along those lines. And yes, my Chamander was glitchy after screwing around with it)


`Espeon goes WTF!
`Espeon facepalmed!

Yep, that how my game looks like. Whoever translated that failed epically. xD

I think I remember now, I was trying to do the Dokokashira door glitch and used the glitched pokemon in battle. Then I commanded it to attack. It used Huffel Shoffle! xD

EmeraldSerenade April 24th, 2010 3:00 PM

Finding a shiny magikarp. but then i ended up killing it since i didn't know it was special -.-

adamskillz April 24th, 2010 9:51 PM

i had yellow when i was 5 and only trained a nidoking. i didnt understand that the legendary birds were special so i KO'd all three. i also had always wanted a dugtrio in the diglett cave so i used my masterball on one

UmbreonUniverse April 25th, 2010 4:22 AM

I was young my first pokemon game EVER!! and i had yellow I played it over and over and over so when I was finished with my game i turned it off i turned it back on and it said new game so I was like
what -_- so then I was looking through my options Pokedex pokemon bag ... save... I pressed the A and it said saveing data and I was like .... ok ... but then I turned off and then on I saw continue and
I was like wha? and I still had my level 8 pikachu I was going crazy and jumping every ware but then I took out my game and slammed it to the groud cuz i waz so happy and it broke in half but
my brother super glued it back to gether and it was all fine...good days goood days... :)

SpawnHyuuga April 25th, 2010 5:14 AM

@ Umbreon: I'm beginning to wonder if this might be a common glitch with Yellow...

I still like a fan video I saw, of a Zubat randomly appearing, so the trainer get's his Gyarados to use Hyper Beam. He misses, and then he starts to destroy. Zubat uses berry and heals full. Trainer gets pizzed and pulls out an M-16.

Arcanine1993 April 25th, 2010 1:16 PM

The first battle with May... I had a mudkip :D yay however! she also had a mudkip too... Confusion :S

Freydan April 25th, 2010 4:00 PM

My very first WTF moment was probably seeing my Hall of Fame after using the Missingno glitch... man was that messed up. It had some freaky music and all.

DarkZelda April 28th, 2010 11:53 AM

Besides the Missingno glitch?
Threw a regular old Pokeball at Zapdos by accident, and caught it.
HP was low, but it would have been in orange in today's color games.
I was like.......AHHHHHYEUSSSSSSSSSS.

Emlam May 24th, 2010 12:18 PM

Getting stuck between Blaine's gym and that stupid girl who walks in front of the door. >.<

For the longest time I couldn't figure out how to get *in* to that stupid gym, the whole looking-at-statues thing to find switches to open barriers just didn't occur to me.
