2nd Gen WTF moment thread

I hadn't saved in a while, and I was in that weird tower psychic people place on Sapphire, when I came down to my gastly. None of my moves effected they're misdreavus and they're moves didn't effect me. I was like -_-.
 
A big WTF for me - In my R/B/Y games, some of the trainers seem to have Psychic powers. I had reached Lance on Yellow. My last Pokemon was Tauros and his was Dragonite, and it went something like this:

My turn - Tauros used Thunderbolt.
Lance - Dragonite used Hyper Beam. Dragonite is hurt by Poison.
My Turn - Tauros used Thunderbolt.
Lance - Dragonite has to recharge. Dragonite is hurt by Poison.
My Turn - Tauros used Thunderbolt (by this time, Dragonite is one attack/Poison from fainting).
Lance - Lance used a Hyper Potion on Dragonite.

Me - WHAT? How the fudge do you use an item AFTER your opponent has attacked? I call BS.

Another one - Koga specialises in Poison types, right? In that case, why do all the trainers have Psychic and Ground types? Were the game makers high when they came onto this gym? "h3y Gu1s3 l3tS g1V3 t3h TrAiNoRz PsYcH1c tIp3z olololololololollololo".

Plenty of WTF moments in the Gen I games.
 
My WTF moment was in Crystal. After booting up the pc in player's house, I decided to read some mails I stored earlier in the game. The game suddendly glitched, the graphics were all messed up, and then it resets itself, showing up a black and white Crystal title screen with the message "This game is meant to be played on a Game Boy Color" or something similiar.
And in my hands I held a Game Boy Color...such a trauma. :(
 
One day, quite a few years ago, I was playing my Red version. And for whatever reason, I was very upset. I ran into a Pidgey, and in anger, I smacked my Gameboy Color on the side, and I DECAPITATED THE PIDGEY!!! It's head flew off to the side, over it's health bar! The game continued working, too! I freaked out over it, and shut the game off.

Ooh! There was also this time when I first ran into a wild Machoke in Victory Road. I was so excited, and thought it was so cool.... I caught it with my only Masterball. >_> I never even ended up withdrawing it from the Box!

I was playing, running towards the northern part of Sinohh, when suddenly, a shiny Machoke level 36 appeared. Holy god, I was shocked, I had never met a shiny before! I sat there and told my brother about it while whittliing down it's HP, but suddenly I accidently tapped Run. Man.
 
Oh dear, WTF moments... there are so many of them.

I remember my first run through Victory Road in Red, as I see this suspicious thing in a dead end. I talk to it and... BOOM, Moltres. I was so scared of it that I pressed RUN...

Also there's Lavender Town. The city that gives me bad dreams til now. This damn "BE BE BE BE"like musik didn't go out of my head and made me totally paranoid.
Then I made a big, big mistake. I went in Pokemon Tower, defeated Gary and... encounterd a GHOST. I was so scared I threw away my Gameboy and hid under my blanket for hours in settled conviction, if I came out now, GHOST would come to take me away.

Geez, kids do weird things.

Fighting Whitney's Miltank. It kept making my Machop flinch with Rollout, and if I didn't flinch the Low Kick I was trying to use would miss. When it finally hits, it doesn't KO Miltank. Miltank uses Milk Drink, and this goes on and on and on.

Wha? Rollout shouldn't be able to make anything flinch.

Lavender town syndrome is gonna getcha. Creppy story. But amusing at the same time. When i heard the story I listened to it a buncha times and began feeling sick and depressed x]. But that was just mah mind playing tricks on me.


SPOILER: It's fake though
 
One thing I remember happening, though I don't believe it's possible ( maybe it was a dream? I dunno) was in yellow, I went into the route just before Celadon, my screen went black, started to play distorted Lavender town music for a while & i just stared at it for about a minute and then a ding sounded and the words something like the ship has arrived went on the screen, after I pressed A, the screen went back to normal but the music still played & I was scared so I turned the gameboy off, but I was upset afterwards, because I wanted to go to Vermilion to see what happened.
 
You want to hear a WTF moment? A glitch gave me a sex change. I am now a female in Crystal! Details are in the Glitch Discussion thread.
 
This one happened to me probably about 7 or so years ago. I was playing Red Version and had just caught Mewtwo, but I didn't have any Escape Ropes or Pokemon with Dig, so I had to find the way out myself. If I remember correctly, my battery was running low, so I saved the game. However, when I closed the menu, my character was standing on the rocks and couldn't move (except to face different directions). I turned the game off and back on, but he was still stuck. I was forced to reset my game. -_-

On Silver Version, I used the Cloning Glitch on a Chansey, but the clone's name changed to MIME...

WTF?
 
My WTF moment.

Let me set the mood for you.

It was a beautiful day outside so i decided to stay in and play pokemon silver.
I sat down on my comfortable couch sipping on a glass of iced tea.
Turned on my GB Color (becasue at the time it was totally Awesome Sauce).
Aww sweet its that ever so familiar Lugia on the main screen.
Tap Tap
"ok lets load this up"
..... Staring at the screen for about 30 sec if not more hoping that the saved game file would magically appear.

My game with 100+ hours was erased.
Didn't end up restarting it for at least a month after that because i was so mad.

WTF right.
 
Came across a random shiny Ursaring in Crystal. But the weird thing is, it was the FIRST Pokemon I came across in the Silver Cave. Not something you expect to happen right away, much less at all.

You think that's odd? Let me tell you about my Silver Version. The first wild Pokemon I ran into after getting my first set of Poke Balls was a shiny Sentret. I kid you not. I wasn't even planning on using a Sentret, but you can bet that sucker was on my team for a good while afterward. I considered her my own little good luck charm. :)
