See title.

I can list off these kinds of moments right now.

1) Walking through a patch of grass and on the last tile, I encounter a random Pokemon.
2) Encountering a Pokemon 5 times in a row walking only one step in between each encounter (this has happened before)
3) Luck Hax
4) Random Criticals, especially ones that occur at the worst times possible
5) Biking through a cave and a dust cloud containing a Drilbur/Excadrill pops up on the very next tile you step on.
6) Any cave, route, or other that requires a gratuitous amount of HMs
7) The idea of HMs in general. WHY ARE THEY IN THE GAME.
8) Trying to get an egg to show up in the daycare for 5 hours but it never showing up

I could list more, but I don't feel like thinking about it any more at this moment. I'll add more as it comes to mind. What are yours?

One time when I accidentally save scummed during a Nuzlocke challenge in Emerald and just barely kept myself from dropping god knows how many f bombs at the time, luckily for me the same Poke showed up and I managed to catch it, letting it slide just this once because I could have caught Whismur at another nearby area so the end result would be me catching it regardless unless I was very unlucky that time around.

The Game Boy Advanced and Nintendo DS are very expensive. I always try my best no to throw them or break them.

I think it only happened once or twice for me. I get mad at video games alot but nowhere near wanting to throw my game against something.

I think I was battling Clair with my Typhlosion. So close to beating it, literally just one move away. My health was good, so even if I got hit by a water type attack I'd survive. But of course, I get a Surf critical hit and die.

I'll tell you.
I was battling Lance, and his Dragonite had this much health: -
I had 3 Pokémon left.
I was gonna win, because that Dragonite, was his last Pokémon.
Dragonite used Outrage! Gatr Fainted!
OK, that's OK.
Arcanine Go!
Arcanine used Fire Blast!
Arcanine's attack missed!
Dragonite hit Arcanine with Outrage!
It was a Critical Hit!
Arcanine was knocked out!
Ampharos go!
Dragonite hit Ampharos with Outrage!
Ampharos was knoc *weee goes ds*
Worst moment ever.

Why'd you use inaccurate Fire Blast to finish it off? You could have used anything else... Unless that was your only attack move for some reason.

Sometimes I used to rage over me losing to various people in Random Matchup until I upgraded and EV trained my team. And sometimes when I try to fight Morty's Gengar in Pokemon Crystal and lose, I just rage quit and quit playing for days.

Take two steps, wild encounter. One step, encounter. Two, encounter, one, etc. Like five battles walking eight tiles to get out of a patch of grass.

Wasting all of your Pokeballs on a Pokemon that shouldn't be so "wtf?" to catch like Patrat, etc.

Lately the thing that has been making my blood boil is when a shaking grass tile appears just as I leave a map. And missing out on all of that Audino experience. ;;

I hate that too, when you see shaking grass and a sudden random encounter ruins your chance to get a rare Pokemon or that Audino experience.

I said this in another thread, but I threw my Masterball at some random Pokemon like Golbat, and then shut the game off, forgetting that I hadn't saved in hours. I think I did throw my GBA, or DS, can't remember which.
