Biggest Buzzkill.

You're grinding, you're defeating gym leaders, you're just about to save when...... BAM! DS freezes or emulator shuts off. This JUST happened to me. I just defeated the Third Gym in Black and was literally in the process of going to save when all of a sudden, my computer randomly shut off.

Don't you just hate this so much and doesn't it just make you want to stop playing for a while?

never happened to me, but one time my brother was doing a baby-pokemon only run where he just beat gym 5 (ghost) (and he had a really hard time on) and his PC restarted. he was reeeeeeally annoyed... though he has re-beaten it since.

Yeah, my dog came in and chewed my charger cord and it somehow turned off my whole computer somehow. Just fixed my charger cord by twisting the wires together and got shocked in the process cause I forgot to unplug from outlet. It's a little more reliable when you are using a DS.

Well I do remember something similiar. When I played through Black on the emulator a few years back, I had gotten to the very end and the credits started rolling.
That is when I realized how stupid it had been of me because the emulator couldn't save the game so I resorted to using the save-mechanic built into the emulator itself instead throughout my entire playthrough. I was sad when my entire playthrough vanished, but oh well, atleast I got to experience the story. Maybe I'll buy it for my 3DS some day so I can transfer some sick pokémans to my X game through it!

When my clock finally died in my original Gold. I didn't pay attention and when I went to save, yeah, I couldn't. I made it to the third gym in a few hours and really liked my team set up.

It's never happened to me, fortunately. Even if it did, I don't think I'd be too upset over it as I always save. If my game crashed, I could simply reset it and pick up from where I left off. :]

 

[BadPokemon]

I save after almost every battle or event. Before I log off, I save 2 or 3 times. I'm extra careful, too careful even. I hope it never happens to me!

 

[Railgun]

I think it was gen 3 and I went from gym 3 to 6 in a few hours but never saved and my GBA died on me

 

[Hikamaru]

I usually always save at one point or another, thankfully I've never had a case of my DS/3DS freezing or dying on me.

 

[AuroraBeam]

It has happened to me, usually what would happen is the gameboy/DS would die, or I would drop it and it would freeze. It's happened too many times though so now I save very ofen.
The worst is when you do save and a sibling restarts/saves over your file. Has happened to me twice back in the day. >.<

I was playing LeafGreen on my GBA this morning, starting a new file, went through the tedious walk to Viridian City and back delivering the parcel, then I forgot that I haven't saved... So I pick the GBA up off the table, it slips a bit and softly nudges the table which caused the game to freeze! xD ... I'm currently on Nugget Bridge now though, all goods haha...

 

[Sydian]

I've never had that happen in newer games. My Blue Version is super faulty though, and I was playing it on my SP one day. Accidentally bumped it against something after hours of grinding and two badges. I still haven't made up that lost progress. lol

Bahaha, my little brother restarted and saved over my older brother's Silver game way back in the day. Older bro was FURIOUS. I would have been too, if it had been my Crystal version. xD


I've lost progress before, usually because of dropping my system or it losing power. If it was at a really bad moment then yeah, it might make me rage-quit for a few hours.
