4th Gen Most Embarrassing Moment?

[大輔]

When I accidentally triggered Barry before healing my pokemon at the Pokemon League -.-;

In Platinum..... That dumb pond with high level Magikarp. I wanted a lvl 100 gyarados. I had 1 rare candy. I found and caught a lvl 99 Magikarp...... I gave it the candy.

Then my finger slipped in the excitement of perfect evolution and......... I pressed B.

Level 100 Magikarp wall..........

 

[GamerTimeUS]

When I played Pokemon Platinum, I saw my first Shiny Pokemon. It was a Shiny Shinx. Not knowing about Shiny's at the time, I killed it. Worst mistake ever.

 

[ChibiVamp]

Starting a new game on a secondhand soulsilver...without deleting the old game...
Stumbling confusedly trying to get up the lighthouse n not knowing to jump out the window...

 

[LilyAnn]

I got lost in the dimensional world place in Platinum. I ended up having to use an online walkthrough.

 

[SuperEspeon]

Can I just say those two Ace Trainers on route 215 were not funny? I literally cried for hours over that. I couldn't get past those guys. I swear at one point I had tried to beat them so many times I had lost all my prize money.

After several hours of going through Mt. Coronet, as soon as I reached Dialga my D.S. died. Andddddddddd.... I hadn't saved at all.

I spent 45 minutes on the Route before Sandgem Town, I couldn't figure out that I had to walk through the grass. I was 8 at the time.. >:(

 

[CelticsPhan]

After catching a shiny Metapod and evolving it to a Butterfree in Pearl for my sister, I forgot to save and her DS died. She cried non-stop for about three hours.

 

[imevil]

All of my Pokemon getting one shotted by the first gym's Cranidos

 

[Diversion]

I was EV training my Marshtomp from Emerald and I used Mud Shot on a Staravia.
I was humiliated in front of the Pros.

 

[Shadow Sneak Sableye]

Trying to evolve pokemon that had to evolve through affection by grinding several levels until I had a level 43 Budew., it was pretty frustrating. Then trying to hunt all over for a Driftloon when they only appear on a specific day

My first time going through Diamond, I got a Shiny Female starter. Yeah. I had seen the concept art of Chimchar, and I knew that he wasn't supposed to be a weird maroon-esque color. At this time, I hadn't heard of shinies. I had played Ruby, Sapphire, LGFR, Gold, etc. and STILL had know idea that shinies existed. So, I restarted. I thought something was wrong with it.

No, its not done yet......

I restarted again, and got, guess what, another shiny starter. Reset...

Nope, we still aren't done. I didn't get another shiny starter, however the first wild pokemon (Not that Starly that attacks you), was a shiny. I KOed it, and found another one. I thought that the second one was messed up :P, so I KOed it, and reset my game, thinking that it just existing would have completely destroyed every fiber of the earth.

So yeah, 3 shinies in one day. All right down the drain, and lost into history.

Only shinies I have found to date, except a Shiny Zekrom in Black.

If only I could turn back time.....

 

[antemortem]

Searching hours and hours for Mesprit and Cresselia and encountering one of them and not having any Poke Balls whatsoever...

 

[TwilightBlade]

I'm trying to think of my most embarrassing moment in dppt, but that was such a long time ago! I know I got lost in Spear Pillar / Mt. Coronet blah and the Fight Area / Survival Area. :(

 

[porygoing]

If only Gen IV counts, cynthia's milotic used mirror coat after my Rotom's thunderbolt.

 

[quiter2812]

I was stuck for literal days in Eterna Forest, because I thought that I'd already gone the way the exit was... Combined with kicking my starter out of the team and only using a Bidoof due to newbie stupidity, it was a wild ride.

 

[strangerhypno]

Trying to catch Arceus in the Old Chateau

 

[BlazingCobaltX]

Thinking East Shellos was the shiny version and almost trading it to my friend who believed so too.

 

[Miss Wendighost]

Thinking Bidoof was a good team member, but to be fair, I was only ten.

 

[MachoPony]

not catching ANYTHING, EVER. i literally used Infernape alone on my first playthrough of diamond.
