Send out Beedrill.
Beedrill has almost if not full health.
OHKO'd by a not very effective critical hit.
What.

And that's karate chop in a nutshell, I guess.
Could've been Paras I sent out instead, not sure, but it'd still have resisted.

I had a WTF moment in FireRed. I saw a Shiny Nidoran in the Safari Zone. Thank goodness i knew what shinies were. After a while of throwing rocks and bait, it ran away! I freaked out and almost threw my Game Boy. What's worse is, after that, my save file erased itself!

I was playing Sapphire. I was battling Wattson and his Voltorb used Selfdestruct on my Vigoroth, who was at half health. It lived with one HP.

I'm pretty sure this was because of the berry glitch in R/S but a long time ago when the games were still new, the Team Magma/Aqua leaders both appeared as different overworld sprites. Maxie's overworld sprite was a female Cooltrainer and Archie's overworld sprite was a Wynaut doll. Both times were during the event where they hi-jack the submarine in Slateport, or whatever. o.o

One time, on LeafGreen, I accidentally released one of my Eevee Evolutions to the wild. Talk about bitter? I was bitter for a long, long time about that..

It seems like a lot of people's WTF moments are about shinies... Just an observation. ^^

At least to my knowledge, I have never encountered a shiny.

The entire plot makes me wonder "WTF"? Team Magma and Aqua really need to think their ideas through. Seriously.

I think the WTF moment that stands out the most for me was when I was battling Mewtwo on FireRed. The first turn, I went to my bag and was planning on using the Master Ball. By accident, I chose Poke Ball and threw it at Mewtwo. One shake, two shakes, three shakes... Gotcha! Mewtwo was caught!

I was so disgusted at that Mewtwo for being caught so easily that I actually released it once I got to the Pokemon Center (I had another one from a previous game on my Sapphire, so I didn't really care either way).

Walking through Veridion Forest to train up my team because Brock kept sweeping the floor with them, and I run into a gold Caterpie. O_O
So I proceed to tackle it, its a critical hit, and the little worm faints. :(

Also, ran into a black Rayquaza after one of the 84932658106783 times I had restarted the Gameboy after failing to catch him. Though of course I failed that time too. *Le sigh.*

Shiny Pokemon aside, there was this time I was playing Firered and I was trying to catch Mewtwo. So my cousin is staying over, and asks to play. I say sure, want to do a favor and catch Mewtwo for me? It had been taking me forever after all and I was getting fed up. I gave him an explicit set of instructions: "DO NOT USE THE MASTER BALL. I need it to catch the Suicune that will run away from me and be EVEN MORE of a pain in my ass to catch. If I could have used the Master Ball here, I wouldn't be asking him to do it in the first place." I figure he's about ten years old, he'll understand the situation, he plays Pokemon too after all he just doesn't own FR or LG.

I was wrong, however. *facepalm.*

So I was battling and sent out my Skitty. Skitty used Assist and it used Steel Wing. Then in my FR (it was an emulator), my Mewtwo learned Metronome from Cinnabar dude and I used Mewtwo against a trainer and it used Metronome then Transformed O_o

I completed 9 Pokemon games and played about 80 Pokemon games but i only have seen one shiny. A shiny Spinarak on my SoulSilver. I had Lvl 64 Typhloison so i would just use one Pokeball and it is done. I opened bag's Pokeball pocket and ....

NO POKEBALLS!!!!!!!!!
That was my WTF moment.

My WTF moment was when I went to capture Articuno in Pokemon LeafGreen. For starters, it took me forever to find the stupid blue bird (like an hour) and when I reach the bird, I was fully prepared with a lot of Ultra Balls. I used 50 Ultra Balls and Articuno was not captured and when I threw a Pokeball, it got captured easily.

This WTF moment happened a few seconds ago, literally. Please excuse the incorrect dialogue:

Tentacool used wrap.

Vibrava was caught in tentacool's wrap
Vibrava used fly!
Tentacool used constrict (it missed)
Vibrava is hurt by wrap

I was confused; Tentacool couldn't have been attached to Vibrava because it's sprite was still in the water. If this was a spiriting error, apologies. Nonetheless, I believe this is my WTF moment

Ok, so I have shiny wtf moment.

I ran into a shiny miltank in crystal. My pokemon was a lower level and i used a move like cut. Turns out it was a critical hit and Miltank fainted. Boo you miltank.

I never wanted a miltank anyways, but I was still upset.

In Sapphire, I was fighting Kyogre. SHINY Kyogre. I kept throwing all these Pokeballs at it... until
"Don't be a thief!" Popped up. It started saying that for every ball I threw, until of course I was out. WTF?! Freakin' glitchy game...
Another time, I happened across a shiny Zigzagoon. I was on a Zigzagoon killing spree at the time, trying to evolve my Torchic before the first Gym Leader, and as soon as I hit 'Attack' and 'Ember', I realized it was shiny... FAIL.

I was playing Saphire, up against Kyogre. All my pokes were beaten, with only combusken left. And then it also had red life, Kyogre still had mid green. Desperate, I throw a pokeball. I never expected it to hold.
-Shake-
-Shake-
-Shake-
*Catch!*

I danced a jig.

Also, on firered a shiny Nidorina came up at the safari zone. It declined my food and ran away before I even threw one pokeball...

I was walking around in FR, almost out of the Mt Moon, when suddenly, I exited the cave and was playing as Brendan. I just minded my own business, but , lo, it said, "KoolKat received a MEW from PROF BIRCH!"
I literally committed ROFL.
