"I Can Never Trust Myself Again" moments in Pokemon

Mainly saves. I tried to beat the game once without saving (I played for over 7 hours straight) and I accidentally killed all three legendary bird (this was back with pokemon red), released my starter near one of the last gyms, and replaced some of the best attacks for HMs (Like Flamethrower with flash). Needless to say, I got so fed up with messing up that I quite before completing the E4 because I used my last revive on the wrong pokemon and was defeated.

I tried to do a speed run in ruby and then kept getting beaten by Winona's Altaria making me lose time since I had to level grind my Pokemon to beat her!

I remember playing HG for almost 3 hours and the damn game froze on me. I was beyond pissed that I just quit and never played again. The game has been in my DS for 2 months lol I haven't even touched it since i can remember.

I tried to show my sister a Pokemon after I beat the league to level him up. My sister slapped the 3DS out of my hand and it froze, meaning he was now back where he started: Level 1.

I've accidentally run away from all sorts of rare Pokemon because I wasn't paying attention. /vietnamflashbacks

Ugh.... One time I used my Masterball on a Stantler, because the Stantler used item switch (or another move like that) and my pokemon I was EV training had the exp. share on. And I was like "WTF THAT STANTLER HAS MY EXP. SHARE" Then used master ball to get the Stantler which didn't have the Exp. share anyway. -_-

Went in to the Elite Four...

biggest mistake of my life.

Also while in battle accidentally wasting a turn by giving a potion to a unconscious pokémon for no effect...

1.About six months ago I saw a shiny Pawniard (my first and last legit shiny), caught it, closed my DSi XL, left in on a table, and went to the bathroom.
When I came back, my brother had closed the software and went to the camera. Imagine how pissed off I was.

2.Using a normal type move on a ghost type Pokemon- and getting KO'd because of it.

3. (Multiple times, and still even now) Using foresight by accident for no apparent reason.

4. Killing Landorus, giving up after like 10 times, and trading away my Tornadus for a Haxorus, then noticing I can't face Landorus. The only reason, in fact, I have one now, is because of my Chimchar "farm."

5. ...This list could go on and on.

1. Using my Masterball on a Slowbro back on my first run on any game ever and was unaware of the concept of legendaries.
2. FINALLY beating Lance and losing to Gary. I'd been saving before every E4 member before that, and of course I forgot to save before Gary. So I had to battle Lance aka MY NEMESIS again.

Usually when I have moments like these it is because, I forgot to save and for some reason or other something happened and my game restarted or I needed to restart my game. Accidentally walking into a gym leader/elite 4 battle without saving has happened on several occasions.

I had Pokemon Sapphire when I was about 4 and I couldn't read very well yet and used my master ball on an Absol. But the worst thing was that I thought you could only catch Kyogre with a master ball anyway so I just thought there's no point in trying to catch it and knocked it out...

Only one issue struck me...it was in an old playthroh (get it?) of HeartGold...I found a Shiny Tentacruel. Issue: I probably fainted it, I guess. I needed to use a move against it...it never got into the ball. So that's where the issue came from.

On my nuzlocke run of White 2, I went into Castelia Sewers and then into the park area and found an Eevee on my first try. Hooray me!

So, it was in sleep mode after I caught it, and then when I got back home my 3DS had shut off from power loss.

That was when I decided not to do a nuzlocke again.
