    Mine was.... when I was in Oreburgh mine and I found a regular onix and was like OMG ITS THE RAREST AND STRONGEST POKEMON THERE EVER WAS....WTF I HAVE NO POKEBALLS.
     
    HEH . Mine was battling with Roark ( the second time ) .
    Only brought Suicune with me and thinking I could just beat them off .
    Keep on using Surf and OHKO all of them til Tyranitar came out and I tried Hydro Pump for the finale and then
    it MISSED and I ended up getting killed by the Tyranitar . TSK
    My Suicune was level 54 at that time .
     
    Mine was when I had spent forever whittling down Giratina's hp on platinum, and then I was throwing Ultra Ball after Ultra Ball at it, and the crazy pokemon took recoil damage and ruined all my work! @_o And I hadn't saved before hand, and it was so sad! *sob*
     
    Mine was taking on Cynthia in Pearl... it was going pretty well, I was winning, then I got to Garchomp. I only had two Pokemon of high enough levels to deal with him: Palkia and Luxray. I used Spacial Rend and got his health down to less than half, and he used Dragon Rush. Bye-Bye Palkia. It then methodically decimated the rest of my (admittedly weak) team. Rather than accept defeat, I... deleted my save file :disappoin. All that hard work... and it just wouldn't pay off :(.
     
    When my platinum decided to glitch when I found a shiny difloon..I sent out my togetic and then my game crashed.
     
    Mine was when I let my little sister play my game bacause I felt nice. She told me that she found an odd Graveler. I asked her why. She said it was brown. I asked her if she caught it and she said she ran away! AND she even saved the game! I was furious with her for running away from a shiny (even if she didn't know what it was) and now I never let her play it. I've never met a shiny since then. :-(
     
    I was at the battle frontier in one of the places it was the one where you have special conditions and that anyhow i played all the way through till i got to the woman and then she OHKOd my team completely.
     
    Mine was prob with a wild Bronzor xD
    It put all six of my Pokémon to slep :( and just really annoyed me .
    I was quite tired at the time and really just wanted it to die :P
    It was difficult xD , such an easy Pokémon to defeat caused me a lot of trouble :o
    I was like WTF xP
     
    During Battle Frontier or whatever, where you had to fight Pearl's dad. He had one Pokemon left. I could one shot it with Draco Meteor. I miss 2 TIMES IN A ROW!!! The two misses were just enough for his last Pokemon to destroy my entire team. Bull friken horse crap.
     
    I can think of two.

    In Diamond, I caught a Steelix. It was at level 46, and I was checking out its stats in the Pokemon Center. Most of its stats were pathetically below 90 and some even 80, but its defense was at 218! I screamed and laughed at the same time!

    Also, there was the time I was training in the mountains and I caught a level 40 Abomasnow. With a Master Ball. And didn't even plan on using it.
     
    Mine was when I was Beat Cynthia,with my Dsi on red.........When it said saving I was so happy,until It turned off while it was saving.....It said Save File Corrupted......and I went back to Twinleaf!:(
     
    Lol....that's what happens once you've beat the E4, you go to Twinleaf....

    ....for me:

    first wild pokemon on Platinum since I got pokeballs, and it's a SHINY KROCKETOT!!!!!Why did it have to be one of my least-favourite pokemon???why??

    Trying to catch Regice with Premier Balls...and failing epicly.Scizor's False Swipe takes one hit to get it to 1hp, and after 20 times of it struggling and KOing, I gave up.

    Oh, and on Platinum, on my current runthrough, where my Lv.18 Monferno (holding Metronome off Shiny Kricketot) 2HKOd Geodude, and 3HKOd Onix, both with Flame Wheel, then, when I decided to use Mach Punch for the first time that runthrough, I misclicked, and it OHKOd with Flame Wheel!

    Now i'm at Pastoria, beaten the gym, and my current team is lulz:

    Lv.46 Mew
    lv.38 Kingdra
    lv.37 Infernape
    lv.38 Bronzong (not using anymore, after it took on gyms 3 & 4 solo)
    lv.24 Eevee
     
    It was my Gardevoir versus Cynthia's Garchomp.

    We both had like... One hp.

    I use Ice Beam, and by all the odds, I missed!

    I went on to lose the battle...

    CURSE YOU UNRELIABLE ICE ATTACKS!
     
    Here's another one:
    I was chaining for a shiny Nincada in Eterna Forest and ended up encountering a shiny Beautifly in a non-shiny patch.
     
    While I was exploring Stark Mountain, I ran into a shiny Graveler. It was the first shiny Pokemon in the wild to appear in my Pearl game. You can't imagine how exited I was. As I take my move to weaken it and catch it, the thing used Selfdestruct. I'm an unlucky person.
     
    mine was when i caught Dialge, Palkia and Giratina with a quick ball on the first try for all three of them. =)
     
    Getting Giratina in Platinum.

    With a pokeball

    At full health.
