I know we've all been playing fervently and we got lots of stories to tell. How about those moments where all you can say is "....what the f***...?"

I'll start things off with the most recent one.

I was doing a double battle with steelix and feraligatr against two others I can't remember. Everything was going well and it was my turn to pick a move with feraligatr. While trying to pick waterfall, I accidentally hit superpower with my finger. I tried cancelling it and instead told Feraligatr to attack steelix. Steelix fainted.

So let's hear yours. =]

My Level 45 Eevee OHKO'd all of Claire's Pokemon with Return, except Kingdra who required ~three hits.

I wasn't expecting that at all :\ Adaptability + Silk Scarf + Return on a Normal-type Pokemon = abused.

I was playing against some guy I met on this site. He challenged me, and I didn't have anything else better to do, so I battled him. I really think he hacked his pokemon though. It was the most boring battle I have ever played, cause the guy kept using substitue, over and over again. I'd take it out, and for some odd reason, it'd come back. The substitute would take three hits until it finally died, and then'd he'd use another substitue. I don't know if it was hacked, or just a glitch in the connection, but It made me not be able to take him out. it was really gay, and I never want to battle him again.

When my Togepi hatched and I found Extrasensory on it. ^_^

I thought it was my ROM being stupid.

Another time, I got the rainbow wing and the first thing to pop in my head was to catch ho-oh... immediately. I quickly flew to the tower and reached the top. I saved my game and started the battle. I took him down to around 1 hp, and thought to myself "wow! this is lucky" next, I took to my bag, only to see 10 ultra balls left. :O was my expression. so I said, ok, whatever. I used all nine, unsuccessful, and then thought to myself, if I catch this, I'll flip out. And that I did. I flipped out when I caught it. If only it was a shiny lol

Morty's insistence on using Curse to suicide his Pokemon. He did that with two of them.

The other two, I finished off in one attack (Technician boosted Bite from Lv30 Persian).

I decided to do a bit of Elite Four training runs - just see how far i could get through the elite four for training purposes. managed to beat the whole elite four with just my Lvl53 Feraligatr and a couple of full restores, got to the end and was like: "WTF? that was easy." it really surprised me.

Catching legendaries always have "WTF" moments involved.

When I first played HG (in Japanese) I went to the tower to catch Ho-Oh and I was really excited about it. I get there and there was no Ho-Oh. I got all pissed and then I remembered I forgot the kimono girls. So I had to go ALL THE WAY back since I had no escape rope.

I think my WTF moment was my first round battling Whitney. I had a Machop of equal level, which was fine. Kept trying to attack, but she kept using Stomp, which made Machop flinch...every freaking time. I got fed up and reset the game, tried again with better results. Even though Machop was in love. lol

:I go to the Battle Hall, and I enter my lanturn. Thanks to Lanturn's limited weaknesses + Volt absorb, and all its variety of moves, I was doing pretty well.
I got to the 50th battle, where I finally faced Argenta. All my hopes for my first Frontier Seal was in reach.
My reaction to her sending out her randomly selected Kingler was overjoyed. One or two good discharges should be enough. She uses dig. Okay, she'll probably hit first, right? Use Confuse Ray so she might not be able to do that again.
She scored a critical hit.
Lanturn faints.
.....wtf.

:I save the game, and my Poke'Gear rings, as I'm turning off the game. A milisecond too slow, my friend Baoba. wtf. XD

:Riding the S.S. Aqua, there was a Hiker with a Bronzor. in Johto/Kanto. A BONZOR. I THOUGHT I GOT RID OF THOSE IN PLATINUM. GAH WTF!

:In the Batlle hall earlier with my Nidoqueen. I select Ghost Type.
....Ice type move don't super-effect the Bug-Type Shedinja?
Wait, I have NO MOVES that super-effect Shedinja?!
WTF.

:WHAT DO I CALL MEDICHAM MIDDLE HEAD THINGY, WTF?!

Yeah.... XP

My WTF moment would be when I found out about Voltorb Flip.
I was in the Game Corner thinking,
"WTF happened to the slots? This game makes hardly any sense!" and,
"How am I going to get Dratini?!".
Now I can get to game 6 without too many troubles, and it's growing on me really fast.

Please help, I can't stop at 10368 coins! ;_; I think this addiction to flipping cards is killing me!

Nope. You have to have Blue's Badge, The 8th Kanto Badge to use HM8, Rock Climb.

THEN you get Rock Climb HM8 from Oak.

This is nothing to worry about.
If you KO HO-OH before the League, you can face it again after you beat the League! =3



My WTF Moment is the fact that I was against HO-OH, wittled down to 1HP, asleep.
I had 30 Ultraballs. 30!
Everytime it broke out without one little wobble for at least 20 PokeBalls.
Everytime it woke up, I put it back to sleep.
Last Ball, asleep, 3 wobbles...

It broke out.
I actually shed some tears from all of the frustration.

It takes some thinking to get around the puzzles, but once you get the hang of the patterns that a line can take, then it's possible the complete level 1 in under 15 seconds.
Even if you know these main patterns, there's still some lucky guessing involved at some points where you can't decide which card contains a voltorb. I guess that's the whole point of gambling really, even if it's low risk in this case.

At the start, look for lines which have 0 voltorbs in them, and flip them all for a free 5 point continue, this'll also help you cross off some other lines.
If a line (Voltorbs + possible coin cards) adds up to 5, then it's useless; the cards will only be 1s and voltorbs of which you don't need/want. Mark them off and don't touch them :)
If a line adds up to 6, if you find a 2, mark off the rest of the cards as voltorbs; the rest will be 1s and voltorbs.
If a line adds up to 7, then things get more complicated. If you find a 3, then mark off the rest as voltorbs, and if you find a 2, then there will be another 2 card in the line somewhere.
Further on, there might be lines which have 5 voltorbs in them. Mark them off and look for lines with 1 voltorb in them that passes through the 5 voltorb line. Flippo!

To be honest, I think it's much more fun than the slots, albeit the prizes are way too expensive. 10000 coins for the only good TMs...



Not to derail or anything, but regardless.
I also had a WTF moment when I saw Falkner's level 13 (!!) Pidgeotto use Roost when I nearly downed it. Also gust being a special attack really sucks, as Geodude isn't as useful when gust takes off a third of its HP.

Not really a WTF moment, but my biggest URGHGHGHG moment was when I got Lugia down to one pixel of health. Used Flash until his accuracy couldn't go lower, paralyzed him, and got down to 20 Ultra Balls.

He used Struggle.
