I think my most memorable Pokemon experience ever came from the first time I was poisoned in Pokemon Red, and the screen started breaking up every time I took a step. I was nine years old and new to gaming in general, I had absolutely no idea what was wrong, and I panicked in classic little kid fashion: I started screaming.
I think the entire neighbourhood probably knew about it before my Pokemon finally fainted - and it must have had a lot of health left, because that took some time - and I calmed down, realising that I hadn't broken my Gameboy after all.
I still get a twinge of embarrassment whenever I'm poisoned in the games and the screen distorts for a fraction of a second to remind me that one of Pokemon is suffering whilst I run to a Pokemon Center (or not) because I'm too cheap for Antidotes. They really need to come up with a better way to show that...
