Well, that is one strong Ninetales!! XD
I can't say I have had to many WTF moments... One is that I had 40 Ultra balls to catch Groudon. Threw all of them, not one caught him... Reloaded the game. Caught him on the first ball. XD I MEAN WTF

Years ago when I had Ruby I found a shiny Makuhita in Granite Cave. I'd only jsut learned about shinies earlier that day and a few save files after I caught it... kyzkzuzkzzzkzkzkzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... game crashed, save file wiped. Closer inspection... Ruby was a pirated cartridge! Noo! Why couldn't I find it on my perfectly normal Sapphire?

My WTF moment was in FireRed. I absolutely couldn't beat the Elite Four at all, so I stopped playing for a long time. A year later, I pick up the game...And go through the Elite Four like they are nothing. My team was no different than what it was because I didn't touch the game at all.

I seriously WTFed at that. How the heck was I able to beat the Elite Four after a year of not playing and not being able to do so before??

When I usually see weird Pokémon I catch it. Like the shiny Weedle I caught in FR. It was an odd color, which made me think it was glitch'd up. But then stars flew from the Weedle and I was like WTF? This looks too well made to be a glitch!

I caught it, looked it up on trust Serebii to find it was a shiny. I exploded in delight.

I reseted the game, as no one wanted to trade for it because they were dirty hackers. Little did I know of the upcoming GTS trade feature on D/P.

FML. And WTF.

Also when my Emerald crashed after defeating one of the Frontier Brains. That was before I could save. I smashed the nearest object to me, which was my lunchbox. I had school the next day, carrying my sandwiches in a plastic bag in a rucksack full of books. Opened the rucksack only to see my books covered in bread, mayonnaise and slices of ham.

What The Actual F!

Mine is in the Elite Four versus Glacie, first run through. She actually hit me with sheer cold, and though irritated, I passed it off as bad luck. So I sent out another pokemon and started using amnesia; soon ice beam was doing almost nothing, so she used sheer cold again, and it hit, again. WTF game?! It's bad enough fighting an ice trainer while attempting an all grass-types challenge, and then you throw this at me? C'mon...

In Emerald I was going to catch Kyorge for my friend. And I got 80-87 Ultra Balls and got it down to 1 HP, and asleep and caught him with only 2 Ultra Balls left.

Also on emerald, My friend was catching Registeel and had 70-80 Ultra Balls and ran out of Ultra Balls, and had 5 pokeballs, and caught him with only one pokeball :S

Mine was on Ruby in the Elite Four.

I was fighting the first guy's Mightyena with a Spoink. Here's what happened:

Mightyena used Swagger!
Spoink's attack sharply rose!
Spoink's Own Tempo prevents confusion!


... Lol.

Shiny Rayquaza. I thought it was glitched, so I turned off and back on and it was 'fixed'.

Lol. One time my friend was playing my pokemon game, and found a SHINY Pidgey. I exclaimed, "Dude! OMG, that Pidgey is shiny!" He was also appalled by it.

And then, for some unknown reason, I see him highlight "Flamethrower" with his Arcanine and end up killing it....

What. The. Fudge?

Once, I was battling Drake in sapphire, and when I started the battle, he had 6 lv. 100 magkarps.

WEIRD HUH?

You got one too?! ^_^ I found my shiny Whismur while I was hunting for Ditto in Emerald's Desert Underpass. I relished the encounter, and it's currently sitting in a box right now. I plan to import it to Platinum or HeartGold one day, and subsequently transferring it to a Generation 5 game.

My first-ever shiny was Golbat, though, and introduced me to the concept of shiny Pokemon. :D I lost the Sapphire cartridge containing that shiny Golbat, but it will be a cherished memory...



I was definitely surprised in encountering the shiny Espeon in FireRed's Trainer Tower, a shiny Kingdra in Emerald's Battle Tower, and a shiny Charmeleon in a Battle Factory selection pool. I encountered a shiny Fearow in the wild in FireRed, caught it, and traded it to Emerald. Sadly, the Emerald savefile containing it accidentally got corrupted during a saving corruption. Come to think of it, that's a "WTF moment" in itself because Emerald just decided to wipe my savefile completely without evening bothering to reload the previous version of the savefile. That's the only time it has ever failed to load the previous save, in my experience(s). :cer_pissed:

Another "WTF Moment" was when one of my Pokemon used either Thunder or Thunderbolt, and the game just froze. A similar incident occurred later on, when the game went CHSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. IIRC, I've had both types of Thunder(-bolt) glitches occur in Sapphire, FireRed, and Emerald Versions. It was a very scary moment, and it was slightly relieving to know that other people had experienced the glitch as well.

Hmm...another annoying example was in Emerald's Battle Tower, where I had entered the Multi Battle Mode. I think the Pokemon I had remaining was Registeel, with the computer having Tyranitar, and the opponents having an assortment of non-Flying/Levitating Pokemon; I don't exactly recall the opponents' Pokemon, only the fact that they weren't affected by Ground-type moves. At some point in the battle, cue the computer's Tyranitar using Earthquake when only my Registeel is affected with the opponents being completely immune to EQ damage. At one point, I retaliated against my computer partner simply out of annoyance. Seriously, computer player, double-yew. Tee. Eff.

The double battle mode is so much better, but I like the concept of Trainer tag teams better. Part of the somewhat enjoyable challenge of the Battle Tower's Multi Battle mode is that you have to be skilled enough to combat with the underhanded tactics of the opponents, as well as bracing yourself for any stupid mistake that the computer partner might make.

The Thunderbolt glitch freaked me out the first time it happened to me.

Then there was the battle with the champion/rival in LG where I managed to win by 2 HP.

And numerous WTF cheap shots in the Emerald Battle Frontier.

I recently found a shiny shiny Pidgeotto on my way to the Pokemon League in Fire Red.

It used Whirlwind after it escaped from a Great Ball. :'(

I went through TWO FireReds that were fake, then my grandma (who was buying them for me as christmas gifts) just got fed up with where she was buying it from and gave me the refund money where I could just buy it myself. Guess how much it was.
$95!!!!!!!!

I was battling raquaza, i had used all of my ultra balls, great balls, and everything else i had except one pokeball. It caught it. Another time, i was training some weak pokemon, and i didn't have anyone goods with me, and latios appeared, first time i had seen him in that save. I just decided to use another regular pokeball, cuz i couldn't do much else. It caught him. It was great.

Not a wtf moment in the game but when me and my brother were going to get FireRed and LeafGreen. We argued who was going to be stuck with LeafGreen since we both liked the cover on FireRed better. After a while I gave up and took the green version.

After a week or so I got my game.

My brother got a letter saying his game was sold out. Suddenly LeafGreen wasn't so bad to have.

Ludicolo used Ice Beam!
Kyogre was Frozen!
Kyogre was defrosted!
Kyogre has one HP left so you can't use Ice Beam again or you'll kill it!
Oh well. I still managed to catch it on that same attempt anyway.

I hate the WTF moments when a wild Pidgey uses one Sand-Attack on your Rattata and you keep missing attacks for 10 turns straight. Then when you switch your Rattata for Charmander and use Smokescreen to its max ,but the Pidgey keeps making successful hits. This has happened SO many times and when it does happen I will often scream at my GBA.
