The WTF Moment Thread
 
This popular thread is being remade so you can talk about any parts of the games that made you go WTF in HGSS and DPPt. Post away!

I posted this in the previous thread, but I'll post it again since it's a lucky find.
In Soul Silver:
Ok, so I was walking through Viridian Forest looking for a Pikachu to catch. I came across one that was Male, I caught it with one ultra ball and I checked it's nature, and I found out that it was holding a Light Ball! There's a 5% chance of a wild Pikachu to hold one, I thought I was very lucky since it was the FIRST Pikachu I came across!

The WTF moment for me is spending ages finding the forum because I was looking for the HG/SS forum :)

My WTF moment was when I was having problems capturing a Lugia, with 1HP left (I used False Swipe) and then put it to sleep


:t354:TG

My WTF moment is when I battled red for the second time I was on my last pokemon I attacked his venusaur and he had only 1 hp left and I lost

Echidna June 17th, 2011 3:17 AM

My WTF moment was when i was battling Chuck. He made me go to sleep. I woke up, and used psychic, which missed, and he used hypnosis again, and i went to sleep. I woke up and used Psychic which missed again. This happened like 10 times. Damn it, that was my WTF moment.

Hm...it would have to be when I knocked out a shiny Geodude by accident on Platinum.

Nato4eyes June 18th, 2011 5:40 PM

In HG trying to catch a Pidgey with a quick ball on the first turn and have it break out.... :/

Lance is a dirty cheater
 
Why is it that nintendo makes it clear that it's wrong to hack pokemon, when Lance clearly has three hacked dragonites, one being level 50 and the others being level 49. At one point his dragonite was at level 40. Dragonair doesnt even evolve until level 55.

I guess I can forgive him though because he's a total badass. I mean, he told his dragonite to use hyperbeam on a person. A PERSON.

Also he has pink hair, which just makes him cooler.

It's just so that they won't be at too high of a level for your team to handle. Also, underleveled Pokémon can be found all the time in Pokémon games (Just look at Johto's Safari Zone). In FRLG it's even possible to get a legitimate level 3 Electrode via an in-game trade.

bobandbill July 8th, 2011 5:39 AM

Aerodactyl couldn't learn Rock Slide back in the GSC days either, iirc, so that's another you can add to the list. =p That and it isn't the only instance (Falkner and his Pidgeotto, although note you can catch them in the wild below their usual evolution level too iirc?)

However I don't see much else to discuss here so I'll merge with the WTF moment thread we have as that seems to fit in well there.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ July 8th, 2011 7:57 AM

Here basically, are my WTF thoughts that occured in my own head as they happened... hence everything being in first person.

1. Wait... it costs HOW much for a Gorgeous Royal Ribbon at the Ribbon Syndicate?!
2. Wait... where the heck is Leaf in SS?
3. OMG I caught a shiny Mewoth! Oh wait... its nature is crap... guess I can't use this one on my team...
4. Really, Chuck? You couldn't land a single hit on any of my Pokemon?
5. Okay, Mom, you didn't call me half as much back in G/S/C. Why so annoying this time around?
6. Wait, so you never battle Charon? Well, that sucks...

2Cool4Mewtwo July 8th, 2011 9:28 PM

1. B2B shiny (Scyther and Piplup)
2. Battle Tower after 49 consecutive wins... You never know what kind of stupid hax someone is going to pull out. (I've had some OHKO moves work against me consecutively, and random 4/5-in-a-row critical hits hit me when I go really well... (even with scope lens that's exceptionally rare in normal cases...). Another one: Quick Claw/BrightPowder + OHKO working = Hax)

Prime- July 9th, 2011 6:47 AM

Main moment is when after so long my mother continued calling me whilst sneaking through a Rocket Base in hiding, along with that damn Joey kid. But yeah: ''I found a useful item for you!'' Oh boy an evolutionary sto- -You obtained 5 Occa Berries- D:

Ciax July 10th, 2011 7:59 PM

After this happened i neraly thorugh my ds at my cat
A wild golbat was in red health and killed my heracross so i send out ledian for an easy kill but..
Golbat - Bite
Ledian flinched repeat for 8 turns untill ledian faints
ARRRRRGHHHH
PS dont actually have a cat, just needed a metaphor,Note: I do not condone throwing things at cats

moonlightning July 10th, 2011 9:04 PM

When I tried chaining for AGES on Platinum then tried again a few months later with a Pokemon with Static at the front of my party and nabbed me four shiny Shinx! (From there I could get my secret ID and RNG!)

ringu217 July 14th, 2011 5:55 PM

WTF moment of the day: my brother and i were playing our pokemon games together and he randomly ran into an entei in the middle of the forest! level 48 and everything. it was incredible but he cheats a lot (aka has the action replay) so he has 999 master balls to use...jerk lol.

fire_man July 14th, 2011 10:39 PM

lol, thats some glitch ^^.

Mine was when I fought my rival (AKA silver) in Mt. Moon, and had all my crappy pokemon i was training for no real reason. I only had Noctowl that was above lvl 50 from my original ingame team, and that too only to fly, but in the end he killed all of silver's pokes ^^. And learned roost in the process!

AngelxAntagonist July 18th, 2011 4:46 PM

That moment when you've got a nice long chain going (for once) and then a Bidoof comes in and wrecks it. That is ALWAYS a wtf moment. I don't even like Bidoof.
And when I had Pokemon with ID numbers ending in everything except 2 and 5, and every single time I got a lottery ticket, it ended in - you guessed it - a 2 or a 5.
Yesterday, I was battling Palmer and almost won, if my Mesprit had attacked first, I would have. WTF.
When I was playing Gold and caught a shiny Geodude, and the next day, I saw another shiny Geodude in Pearl. By the way, shiny Graveler looks like a dookie. What the...ah, never mind.
And that stupid save function where if you don't delete your old save file beforehand, you can't save a new one. This especially sucks when you catch a shiny Steelix and then can't even keep it. WTF!!! >.<

PL50 July 18th, 2011 6:42 PM

my WTF moment is when i had latias to 1 hp left. and put it to sleep thanks to gengar and mean look. So i was using dusk balls and ultra balls, and i only had 10 timer balls and none of them worked...

Then when latias wakes up, it uses STRUGGLE....

She died... D:

AngelxAntagonist July 19th, 2011 8:45 AM

I just got a new WTF moment in Pearl last night...
So I'm chaining Shinx just above Sandgem Town, while I have an Electrode with Static at the front of my party. (In case you didn't know, Static increases the chance of seeing wild Electric Pokemon, so it's good when you're chaining. I also had Pichu and Raichu with me.) I was looking for the shining patches - not Shiny, just those patches that look like they're shining on the PokeRadar. And I enter one of these patches...and it's a Shiny Bidoof? WTF are the odds of that? 0.0
I got me a shiny Bidoof now! But I don't really like Bidoof, so when I figure out how to access Wi-Fi with my DS (there are problems with the WEP key) I'll trade it for something else. Anyone need a shiny Bidoof? I'll even throw in Pkrus. I also have a shiny Graveler with Pkrus.

Genesect July 19th, 2011 10:40 PM

My WTF moment? I guess it would be this:

I was using my Charizard with 3 Fire moves and one flying for Battle Hall.
I was in my 50th consecutive win (Which means after finishing this I can battle the Brain), and guess what was the opponent, a Shedinja ! MAN I hate Wonder Guard T.T. So I knew that Shedinja is a Bug-type and Flying-type moves does Super Effective damage on a Bug-type and can penetrate the Wonder Guard ability. This what actually happened: My flying move was Sky Attack which means it only have 5 PPs, and it is a second-turn attack. Well, ALL of them missed I was like "Oh God" and the Shedinja broke my streak.

Draganera July 20th, 2011 2:29 AM

my wtf moment in HG: I wanted to catch Ho-Oh.
It just had like.. 10(?) HP. ...
It was confused, and then: It killed it self. I was like: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~
Because I didn't safe before. =__=

Shingy1 July 25th, 2011 6:57 AM

When I thought I caught my first shiny Gligar in Platinum because it wasn't pink...
