Best and Worst Moments [V2.0]
There was an old thread a while back but it died due to inactivity, so time to bring it back again! Essentially in this thread you can post about your best and worst moments when playing through the Fourth Generation. Here you can post experiences that made you leap for joy, experiences you wish you had forgotten the moment they happened and any other moments you'd like to share. If you're unsure of what sort of things you'll exactly need to post, then here are a few examples to get you started: Best moments: Example #1 Spoiler:
Example #2 Spoiler:
tl;dr: Example #1: Found a Shiny Buneary in Eterna Forest while training a Drifloon. Example #2: Beat the champion in Platinum after considering the game impossible- mainly because of an underlevelled and odd team. Worst Moments: Example Spoiler:
tl;dr: Roared away a Shiny Dialga. NOTE: These are just examples and have not actually happened to me. I've just composed them quickly to give you an idea of what you can post. You can describe your moments in any way you like, whether it'd be a story or a poem or anything really. Just make sure that it happened in the Fourth Generation and that it's appropiate (i.e: not too much excessive swearing), which is probably a given. Post away! :> |
Best moments: Found out I didn't actually finish my Platinum game, 1 year and a half afterwards. It felt so good to be able to see Torterra and my elite team in action again :D
Worst moments: Not being able to catch Giratina cuz i used my master ball on a tentacruel. :P |
Best moment: Defeating all of Lance's Dragonites in the Champion battle in SoulSilver using only my Miltank. I managed to do a Strength + Attract combo and his Pokemon failed to attack every single time under the infatuation.
Worst moment: Catching a Shiny Unown in Diamond. The worst Shiny I have ever caught to this day *facepalm*. |
Best Moment:: When I Defeated my rival in Heartgold only with my Gligar!
Worst Moment: I accidently left my Ds on my desk and went to take dinner. My little my brother came and turned it off. I was so mad cause I just defeated all elite four and was gonna defeat the champion. I forgot to save before I go eat :( |
For SoulSilver
Best Finding my first shiny ever. (Sunkern) Worst Finding out that the Elite Four upgrade and add 1 more Pokémon to their roster after you beat them the first time. And I thought I was done. HA! |
Pokemon Diamond (My first run, not my current one)
Best: Beating the Elite Four on my first try. It was quite nice. Worst: Caught a female Hippowdon, I'm ok with that, the bad part is the reason I caught it. I thought it was shiny! >_< |
For Pearl
best: catching Uxie in one healball. worst: finding a shiny Starly in the safari zone and the game crashes. |
Best: Defeating cynthia with extremely underleveled pokemon.
Worst:My heartgold deleting itself twice :( |
Best moment: By some extraordinary miracle, I 6-0ed Cynthia with Pokemon 10 levels below that of hers.
Worst moment: Fainting Azelf with Hydro Pump... then saving. |
Best moment: reliving the awesome game that is gold version. Mostly everything was amazing....
Worst: ... Except that Miltank, that thing always kicks my butt. |
Best: Beating Cynthia. (I jumped around screaming)
Worst: When my Heart Gold game broke and took the life of my first Pokemon, and many others. |
Best: Catching Giratina.

Best moments:When I caught a shiny starly my first ever shiny pokemon on gen.4 Worst moments:I defeated the tower tycoon then the game crashes....sob! For my heartgold Best moments:I defeated e4 and lance using lv.35-40 pokemons! Lol Worst moments:The game's save file has been corrupted many times -.- |
Best: Spiritomb beating that Garchomp of Cynthias.
Worse: Using my master ball on Lugia :( (Should have used it for Latios) |
An Odd Occurance
A few months ago, I was playing Diamond. I was participating in a challenge called the Champion challenge where I was using only Pokemon that Cynthia used. Don't worry, this isn't some weird challenge topic. I got to the Galactic Building in Eterna City, and had a Spiritomb and Feebas, which I traded in, and a Budew that wouldn't evolve.
I made it all the way to the top of the building and fought Jupiter. Needless to say, I lost. I rest my game, and after a couple tries, could not win. So I decided to back track all the way to the GTS to check my Budew's friendship via Pokecheck. Once I returned to the Eterna Building, everyone was gone, including Jupiter and the Bike Salesman, as if I had won the fight against Jupiter. I was so dumbfounded that a bug like this could exist. I have yet to test it a second time since then, since I haven't restarted my Diamond. Has anyone else ever encountered this, or would like to test it? I will be resetting my Diamond pretty soon, but it will be for another challenge. |
I'm going to move this to The Best and Worst Moments [V.20] as this is more of an recount on an experience, which I'm happy for people to reply to and discuss, in there.
[ Moved ] |
Best: Catching Ho-oh with a POKEBALL.
Worst: Ho-oh being defeated by a Horsea :( |
For HeartGold
Best: Defeating Red and finally finishing HeartGold :) Worst: Fighting Whitney's Miltank. :t241: |
Best Moment: Capturing Giratina in a Pokeball...sure, it's stupid, but it was an exciting moment. It was at school too! I just walled it with my Magnezone, paralyzing, then switched to Empoleon to use Ice Beam on it. after a few balls lobbed at it, I caught it in a Pokeball. Me and my friend were super excited ^_^
Worst Moment: Running from a Shiny Medicham. ;-; such a sad moment looking back at it, as I was new to Pokemon back then. |
Best Moment: Can't recall having any 'best' moments in the 4th gen, but I guess I'll go with catching Giratina on Platinum with my first Ultra Ball.
Worst Moment: Getting a used version of HeartGold, and not heeding the warning about deleting the save file before starting a new game. Less than 30 minutes in, I caught a Geodude on Route 46, and it had Pokerus. Having forgotten about the warning, I realized I couldn't overwrite the save file already on the cartridge. Considering getting Pokerus is 3x less likely than finding a shiny, I was not happy. |
Best: catching Giratina
Worst: catching Giratina took waaaaaaaaaaay to long |
Best moment: Today: getting a shiny chickorita on heart gold in less then 3 hours of soft resetting and it being my first successful soft reset hunt. I was after it since i started a shiny badge quest today.
Worst: getting destroyed by shinnoh's elite four and then having to do hours of training and money grinding to beat them. |
Best: Beating Cynthia after many, many fails.
Worst: Cynthia's Garchomp |
Best-
Finding a shiny Ponyta (Random Encounter) on Diamond version. Worst- Using my Masterball on Raikou (which I decided to hate after seeing its moves) Accidentally knocking out the first legendary I ever encountered. I close combat'd the Dialga and took it out with one hit (after wasting a turn with Wing Attack because I had no idea what I was doing, back then). |
Best moment: Finding Shiny Floatzel
Worst moment: Grinding, just grinding everywhere before gyms and E4. But seriously, finding Giratina. |
I am so mad, cause I can't remember anything from the 4th Generation :( Seriously! I don't know why. Maybe because I finished the game in 2 days! :( lol but
Best Moment: When I found out that Platinum existed, I don't know how, but I didn't notice that there was a Diamond and Pearl version before Platinum. omg. I don't remember having a bad moment. I just want to play it again someday! Maybe I will start it again this summer while waiting for X&Y haha XD |
I had many good moments, but I remember a horrible moment. One day I was looking for a Volt Orb in Treasure Garden (not sure of the name/too lazy to google) and I happened to stumble across a shiny Roselia. Now you have to understand, shiny Roserade is one of my all time favorite shinnies, so I got excited. I got my weakest Pokémon that always faints - Umbreon to weaken it and used Quick Attack. Guess what? Critical hit. 1HKO. I boxed Umbreon and never used it again.
