You think that's odd? Let me tell you about my Silver Version. The first wild Pokemon I ran into after getting my first set of Poke Balls was a shiny Sentret. I kid you not. I wasn't even planning on using a Sentret, but you can bet that sucker was on my team for a good while afterward. I considered her my own little good luck charm. :)

After playing pokemon games for as long as I can remember, I finally saw my first wild shiny pokemon the other day. It was a drowzee, but unfortunately, I killed it before I could catch it. Still, I was pretty excited afterwards.

On Pokemon Blue, my WTF moment was a battle. Or a one move of a battle.
CODE:
abc=game text
abc=what I was saying

Battle Log:
Wild Pidgey appeared! Go Flutterin!(Caterpie)!
Oh man. This can't be good. Pidgeys only have Gust at this early stage, and Flutterin! is weak to Flying Type moves like Gust. Oh well, better get ready for Flutterin! to lose lots of health.
Wild Pidgey used Gust!
It wasn't Super Effective?!?! WTF?!?!
Oh, I remember now. Gust was a Normal Type move in this generation.

Haha. Yeah, that was never a comforting site. Many of the sprites from the first generation tended to have that effect on me.

My biggest WTF moment would have to be when I first arrived in Glitch City. I thought my game would be lost forever. Also, when I saw my first shiny pokemon. It was a Zubat, but still, it was a pretty memorable moment

So I'm playing gold version and I'm trying to catch Raikou. Here's how it goes:

Wild Raikou appeared!
Finally!!!! Now I just have to use Mean Look, and it's as good as mine!
Haunter used Mean Look!
Hahaha he's trapped now!
Enemy Raikou used Roar!
wait... wha-
Haunter fled in fear...
WTF!!!???

Going over to my friend's violin's teacher house, finding out he had a JAP version of Silver, wanting to play it, and then finding out his Gameboy's battery had died and he lost the charger....

The game suddendly glitched, the graphics were all messed up, and then it resets itself, showing up a black and white Crystal title screen with the message "This game is meant to be played on a Game Boy Color" or something similiar.
And in my hands I held a Game Boy Color...such a trauma. :(

There was a glitch like that in my Gold. My bro kept banging my cartridge to get to see Ho-Oh in full detail and he somehow ended up having all the colors wacked up, my and everyone elses sprites were balck, and I was at the edge of my screen... well my sprite was.

I've been playing pokemon for over 7 years, and I've only come across 2 shiny pokemon; a shiny Zubat and a shiny Onix
Both were on Pokemon Silver, both were found in Union Cave, and both times, I was playing on a regular non-color Gameboy
The only way I found out they were shiny, is the little sparkle that came up

How do you play it on the original GameBoy? If you tried to play it, it would say "This game is meant to be played on GameBoy Color" or something.

lost my nidoqueen for two days and found it in the day care lvl100

Tumalaz December 10th, 2010 3:56 PM

I remember running into a Shiny Donphan on silver about 7 years ago.
First shiny EVER, so I was very careful with lowering it's hp. And then... CRITICAL HIT D:

light_umbreon December 10th, 2010 6:21 PM

battling blaine in yellow version he takes down my pikachu and then I own his lvl 50 or so rapidash with a lvl 10 squirtle and win

takkunlove7 December 10th, 2010 6:45 PM

I apparently caught a shiny Jynx oh so many years ago on my Crystal. And then like a month ago, I was just searching through, looking to see what Pokemon I had and play a little and then I realized that it was shiny.
I was like WTF? I have had a shiny Jynx for like, 8 or 9 years and NEVER REALIZED IT?

Dr. Montague December 10th, 2010 6:48 PM

Route below Pallet Town:
Shiny Tangela appeared
Go Starmie
Starmie used Thunder Wave
Tangela sits there, being green and cool
Starmie lowers it's HP to small amounts
Tangela sits there
Ultra Ball fails
The wild Tangela fled

....D:

I had just enough steps to get there too, except I forgot I passed over a fisherman on my travels and was caught in a battle. Both hyper fang attacks from my raticate missed, the magikarp used tackle twice and I lost....seriously, fml

maaaan thats terrible...hahaha poor raticate it didnt even lose like a Brave.

XDragonRiderX January 9th, 2011 8:54 PM

New on here! So, I was playing my Gold, did the bug catching contest, and a Shiny Buterfree appeared! Or, so I thought I caught it, went out, couldn't wait to gloat in front of my brother 'cause he never caught a shiny. He says, "That's not shiny." PokeDex look up, and.. you know what happens. Seriously, FML.

Meganium January 9th, 2011 9:12 PM

I've had plenty of WTF moments when I played Silver. I'll just name one:

Fighting Lance's Dragonites during the elite four. My party were below Level 55, without expecting it, Lance sent out a level 60 Dragonite. I was very close to beat him but nope, I got crushed big time.

mamoswineftw January 11th, 2011 12:45 AM

Haha had a couple of those, especially since I got Blue version at about 8 years old. My brother 'borrowed' my games and took it to a friend's house, where the friend and he tried to do the Missingno item glitch without really understanding what was going on (they were only about 5 years old). When he brought the game back I was like 'how on earth did I get [triangle shape]-9 TM 12s????? That many Water Gun TMs would be SOO useful.

Another time was when my friend wanted to evolve his Kadabra, so we decided to trade - a lowly lvl 3 Rattata for his level 42 Kadabra. Halfway through the trade the gameboy got knocked out of his hand and the link cable came out. I turned mine back on and then we found that I had a lvl 42 Alakazam, and my friend still had his Kadabra! The wonders of cloning - I remember my 7 Mews and 3 Mewtwos.... Which were promptly lost when the battery on my Silver cartridge ran out, also losing my 248-pokemon filled pokedex (missing Celebi, Espeon and Politoed). And lots of level 100 pokemon as well...

While that's the case with Crystal, Gold and Silver are in fact able to be played on an original Game Boy.

mamoswineftw January 13th, 2011 5:02 AM

Actually, I just remembered another moment where I was just FML - this is stupid: you know that Jr trainer at the end of Rock tunnel in RBY? She has an Oddish, something else and a Pidgey. That bloody bird vs my lvl 40 Charizard: i wanted to know what the move 'Rage' was like, i'd never used it before, so I went ahead and selected it. First time it got the Pidgey down to about 20% health left. The Pidgey used sand Attack. Next turn, Rage misses and the Pidgey uses Sand attack Again. This goes on until my accuracy is -6, adn then my charizard with >100HP proceeds to go down from Quick Attacks and Gusts. WTF

EDIT: One more that I just remembered, so bear with me.
I had gone through and absolutely destroyed every trainer on my Silver version, so I decided to start catching all the pokemon. I went through the Whirl Islands and everything, getting lost several times because I didn't have flash, and finally made my way over to Lugia. There, I saved in front of him, stocked full of pokeballs of every type (including all Kurt's types, this was after ~150 hours of playtime), and proceeded to try and catch him.

I spent 2 days playing (intermittently, we were on holiday and quite busy) and failing to catch the Lugia every single time. And I'll never forget when my 6 year old brother took my game whilst I was in the toilet, with one Ice Punch from my Feraligator managed to freeze the Lugia and get it down to a sliver of health, and then catch it with 2 pokeballs. Then he came and told me that the 'big bird was sick', and you know why - IT WAS A SHINY!!!!

I have only ever had 2 shinies in all the games I've played, and my brother has been the one to catch both of them.
