"Curse of the Breeder" - Griffy
As breeders we've all done some stupid things. Here you can share some of the dumb things you've done while breeding. No picking on each other though and be civil! :P
|
1. Cycled up and down that road outside daycare center... just to realize that all eggs were hatched a good 10 minutes ago
2. Cycled up and down that road outside daycare center... just to realize that the parent didn't get along with my HM slave Talonflame 3. Cycled up and down that road outside daycare center... just to realize that both parents were the same gender 4. Cycled up and down that road outside daycare center... just to realize that only half of the pair is in the daycare 5. Reversed Destiny Knot and Everstone by accident and hatched crappy babies 6. Double Everstone hold Ahhhh, the curse of the breeder. |
Cycled back and forth to realize both parents are still in my party...
|
Put a female Breloom and a Gourgeist in there only to realize that the latter is only in the Amorphous Egg Group and not Plant like Breloom is.
Also, at one point I thought this one Smeargle I was trying to breed had max Special Attack, and after a ton of eggs out of what I got didn't have it, I checked, and it had max Attack instead. Ouch. |
I once put an egg in PC, thinking it was some Pokémon. After about ten to fifteen minutes of biking, I started to wonder why it wasn't hatching, aaand, yeah, finally managed to realize what I actually did.
|
Just not long ago I just got a HA pokemon with egg moves (level 1) and started to breed it with a ditto to hopefully get some more and I had a trade were i needed to breed something so i took it out and once i put it back in the daycare i stored like 10 eggs of it and when they hatched none of them had egg moves so i checked my pokemon to see that the daycare had removed its egg moves with other level up moves >.<

Oh, here's another one. Breeding Ralts with another 'mon in the Humanshape group and not getting any eggs because Ralts is AMORPHOUS. Seriously, it has a humanoid shape. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!

Apparently I hatched a shiny squirtle, but due to the little change in shiny form I did not realize I hatched it till I started releasing my boxes of squirtle. Right as I confirmed the release I realized that the Squirtle had the shiny star. In my desperation to get one, I looked on the GTS for one, only to realized that I saved so I could not soft reset. >.< I really hate myself.
|
Cycled back and forth realizing I still have both parents in my party. Cycled back and forth and only have ditto in the daycare. Cycled back and forth and realized I forgot to put the items on the parents ;;
|
Hahahahaha this thread is amazing. Not once, but twice, I have let the mother of a breeding pair evolve and then saved the game.... When the move I wanted for the offspring could only be learned by the unevolved form. This happened recently with a yanma that was supposed to pass hypnosis. The first time, I let my Lv 91 Trapinch evolve - SO MUCH LOST EFFORT.
|
-Cycling back and forth the daycare until I realized I didn't leave the parents in the daycare.
-Cycling back and forth the daycare and picking up eggs until I realized I hadn't switched parents. -Cycling back and forth the daycare wondering why there were no eggs until I remembered togepi is a baby pokémon and can't breed. |
-Cycling back and four repeatedly hatching eggs containing 3IV Skrelps, beginning to yell at my game while trying to figure out why they would never get over 3IVs with a 4IV parent and 6IV parent, exclaiming that my luck can't possibly be this horrible... Two boxes of flawed Skrelp later, checked to see that I forgot to give the Destiny Knot to either of the parents... >< Facepalm.
|
Cycling back and forth and realizing no pokemon are in the daycare >_>
Also, cycling around Prism Tower for a good 30 minutes after all my eggs were hatched. Don't judge me. |
Let's see, I'll give a little back history, I started playing Pokémon with Red Version, played Gold and Silver then pretty much quit until I purchased Black 2 the end of 2012. I played here and there randomly but not for longer than a couple days, years separating these occasions until Black 2.
My mistake? Trying to MM a Ditto in Gen 5. I didn't remember much from Gen 2 regarding breeding and Ditto is my favorite Pokémon, especially Shiny, I wanted one!! Too bad Ditto can't breed, I still don't have the competitive Ditto I want. |

This really made me laugh hard hahaha :P |
The only thing that pisses me off is this...
Cycled up and down that road outside daycare center... just to realize that the man was just too lazy to turn around to let me know that an Egg was already ready for pickup Since then, I switched from moving back and forth on that route to circle around the fountain in the <insert town name here> Town 5 - 6 times and then go back and talk to the Egg Guy. >:/ Works almost all the time. >:\ |

I've definitely biked up and down a million times and wondered why nothing was happening, only to find out that all the eggs already hatched a long time ago. x3
|
On several occasions, I accidentally put two babes in the daycare and couldn't figure out why no eggs were produced after 10 mins. I can't help it I get these ladies straight from Wonder Trade. >:O
Oh, and while holding 5 eggs, I continue biking around waiting for the 5th egg to hatch, but it already hatched a half hour ago. |
Accidentally released Pokemon with Power Item I needed.
|
^ That reminds me!
I Wonder Trade all the parents that I no longer need to clear them from my boxes. One time, I accidentally almost traded away a parent holding my only Destiny Bond. I saw it having the item and I freaked and shut off my game so fast. I saved it! xD |
^ Yeah... I think they should make a system that notifies you before you offer a poke with any item and say "Are you sure you want to trade/release this Pokemon? It has [item]!"
|
Or even more so, they should allow you to cancel a Wonder Trade when you haven't found a partner yet instead of having to shut off your game.
