  • I've been playing Pokémon for the better half of ten years now and I've only blacked out about twenty times total. My reaction is either:

    Black/White Out!


    OR

    Black/White Out!

  • I almost never faint in Pokemon games. And when I do, my reaction is usually to reset my game and try again in embarrassment. I only stick with it when it's been too long since I last saved. :P (I usually only lose to tough fights like gym leaders though and I always save before I try those.)

    I will, however, usually be far too lazy to grind before the Elite 4 so I'll stock up on revives and hyper potions and go fight them over and over again until my Pokemon have levelled up enough to get me through it. I end up whiting out a fair bit when that happens. xD;

  • Rarely. I havent had that problem in awhile, I used to a lot in G/S/C, but since then, not really.

    I've only had that like 6 times or so, and that's because I forgot to save before a gym battle usually, or a chain of trainers. I hate it and at the Elite 4 I'd always reset my game even if I'd made lots of levels, idc lol. I'm just greedy I guess I don't want to lose Pokémoney.

  • Probably in RSE was my worst. Just every gym leader beat me all the time. I also get it quite a lot at the elite 4 in all games, and it also happens frequently in spin offs such as PMD and Ranger.

  • I've only blacked out once since Gold, and it happened during...

    the Bug-Catching competition.

    My entire party was too overleveled to take part in the competition without OHKOing everything, so I pulled my Snorlax out of the box to participate. I believe it was a Pinsir that ended up getting a Critical Hit on me, and caused Snorlax to faint. Even worse, after the battle I "scrambled and lost $3200." I could understand losing $100 in the game, but I just imagined my character sticking his hand in his pocket and pulling out a wad of bills and tossing them on the ground before running away.

    It only happened a lot of times when I was careless in Generation I - lost a lot of cash that way. Eventually I got better at that :)

  • I used to a lot when I was younger, and sadly, I still do @.@ lol I recently started playing again with White and I get owned a lot. Mainly by gym leaders or lack of healthy Pokemon. I feel better as a player but I feel like the game has risen in difficulty. Just my opinion, though. It's probably gotten easier. lol
