  • I was so happy that i was able to migrate that i saved in Vermilion and did the migrate thing. what i didn't know was that it went to pal park, i freaked cause my pokemon were practically floating around in space and i couldn't get them til i got to pal park, i got them, but i almost pwned a wall cause i thought i lost my legendary birds, my venesaur and my Graveler.

  • my level 45 clefable had just finished buffing up to the point where Will's Gardevoir's Psychic did 23 points of Damage exactly. I had 144 hp.
    i was gonna start whittling down his HP with shadow Ball, when BOOM.
    He uses Psychic and gets a critical hit which does approximately 7.5x the normal amount of damage.
    takes me from full heatlh after a full restore down to 0.

  • NEW WTF Moment: Today, I got TWO event jirachis, and having one earlier from march makes that three. All of them have Draco Meteor. I guess it can't really be "wtf" since I have three games. XD

  • Easily the most WTF moment so far was Scyther in Bugsy's gym. I figured, right. I've levelled up all my guys to 20, I've got cyndaquil, this is a bug type gym - epic slaughter. Oh no.

    Bugsy sends out Scyther. Quick attack. I get critical hit after critical hit. Cyndaquil is down before i can even use ember, Spearow goes down without much of a fight either as do the rest of my team. I spent a good hour or two grinding up before I had a decent stab at it.

    Ironically Whitney's Miltank, which I thought would defecate all over me like it did last time i played Gold, was an easy win with Wooper.

    Same here. Another reason I hated the physical/special split. I had a Pidgeotto, only decent move was Gust. Did a decent amount of damage, but then the Sitrus Berry was activated. Scyther used Focus Energy. Another Gust, did less damage this time. Scyther used Leer. Another Gust. Healed. Quick Attack. Another Gust again. (At that point, I was repeatedly tapping the area where Gust was.) I could have healed, but I thought "Who needs to heal when you're battling Bugsy?" Well, I needed to. Another Quick Attack and Pidgeotto was down. (Focus Energy+Leer+Technician+Increased Priority Move=OW) I beat everything else with Quilava, but after that I still thought that the physical/special split was stupid. And I didn't care for Pidgeotto anymore.

    Then, for the next week or so, I amused myself by drawing pictures of Bugsy getting burned by Fire Flowers. (Inside joke, don't feel like explaining it)

  • I'm surfing on the route between New Bark town and Kanto. No repels, so Tentacool are popping up left right and centre.

    "I swear to god if another one of those things appears..."

    A shiny tentacool appeared.

    O.O

    =D

    Caught it, and it happily resides in my box of collectables :)

    Biggest WTF Moment for me when I was battling Lance for the second time in the Elite Four so his Pokemon were around the 70's and I destroyed his whole team with a level 45 Weavile with an Icicle Plate and with Ice Punch. I Ice Punched all of his Pokemons because most of his Pokemons are 4x weak to Ice.

    well when I was catching Ho-Oh on Sould Silver,I see that I have 30 ultra balls and I say to myself "I'm prepared" and then I charged into battle.
    well I sent out my Feralgatr and lowered Ho-Oh's HP to one. He started using all his attack's and He ran out of all of them and he struggled and killed himself.
    and I was like "What the..."
    thats my only moment.

  • Okay so I save my HeartGold game on my DS after playing it for the night (at like 11.30) had it in my car and drove to school. got into the library and switched it on.

    WTF: I switched it on and as soon as i clicked on Ho-oh, i get the blue screen of death, "Your save file will be deleted due to corruption or damage."

    I involuntarily swore out loud, landing myself in detention after school. No cheats, no codes, i did nothing wrong and lost 450+ caught pokedex, poke virus, several shinies, several lvl100's and my black trainer card. seriously, WTF!

  • I'm seriously beginning to debate whether or not to restart my SS. I haven't done anything super phenomenal, only beaten E4 twice no lv. 100s, no shinies only beaten red once, haven't even caught the lake of rage gyarados. I can trade my event Jirachi to platinum and my winners Path to a friend, so I won't lose those. I sturggled through the beggining of the game probably more than I should have. I completely messed up my starter and ended up teaching it two HMs. I don't have any battle tower records. I would like to restart and hopefully end up better than I am now. I'm posting this here because I'm not sure where to put it and I know alot of people post here. Does anyone have any objections?
    If a mod wants to move it go ahead, just tell me where you moved it to, thanks.

  • I was EV training my swinub on the first route after New Bark Town, I was thinking to myself "I've EV trained 5 pokemon already... I wonder if I'll run into a shiny or get pokerus soon?" and all of a sudden a shiny pidgey appears. WTF. Second wild encounter shiny on this game. O_O Reminds me of that story of the guy who found a shiny pidgey and his girlfriend broke his DS. XD

  • Lol. I lent my DS to my GF so she can play soul silver.I used an R4i which had the save backup feature so she can play her save and I can play mine. She overwrote my save file. My save file was finished with all ingame events and only needed 2 more pokemon to complete the pokedex.n.n

  • Seeing a Raikou in the Battle Hall. Wtf.

    Seeing a Ho-Oh in the Battle Hall. Wtf.

    This isn't really a WTF moment, but I remember as a child, those gyms with the arrows on the floors used to bug the $#%& out of me as a kid. (i.e., Liza & Tate's gym in Hoenn). I could never do those as a child. The Sootopolis gym also bothered me to the point of smashing the game. And now that HGSS roll along, I can do 'em in seconds.
