2nd Gen WTF moment thread

When i fought and accidently defeated the kyogre and latias in my pokemon sapphire. Both times my sister saved after they fainted.
Then, in the same game, after i raised a bunch of my pokemon to lv.100, without hacking, my sister started a new game and saved so she could recatch kyogre and latias.
Also, in pokemon platinum, when i sped through the entire game in one week so i could do the darkrai event, only to find out, on the last two days of the event, that my WiFi didn't work.

This is NOT for those games, thus is for Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal.
 
Have I mentioned SLOWPOKETAIL? That was definitely a literal WTF?! moment when I first played Silver - followed closely by my first reading of the Silver Pokedex entry for Slowpoke. What ... the ....
 
One time a friend of mine activated some fail glitch where he became nurse joy and went into this freaky glitched part of the pokemon center where there was no doors or exits. He eventually had to reset the game. nobody knows how he did this, But i saw it with my own eyes. no hacks were used, we had just got done from a trade. he went up to the pokemon lady and like, the game has a freeze then he became nurse joy? lolz
 
Just rooted out my old Game Boy Pocket and Yellow Version. Decided to play through it for old time's sake. In Viridian Forest, the first Pokemon I encountered was a Pidgeotto :) Level 9. I caught it, happily. Not a 'WTF, i caught it', more a 'WTF, a Pidgeotto?'. Though I'd known about it before now, just... Figured I'd post it...:D
 
It took me like a thousand pokeballs to catch mewtwo when he was asleep and in the red health area. But who DIDNT have a hard time catching him!
 
me, on my friends game it took 1 GREAT BALL to catch mewtwo, but in SS

however, i just grinded for two hours in yellow, and koga STILL HAD STRONGER LEVELED POKEMON, AND I ONLY HAD 2 POKEMON!

idk, all I know is that I was mind-fugged when I found out.
Another was on my Sapphire. I can barely remember (for all I know it could have beena dream), but when I first got it, I was real young, and I was so excited to get it. I remember catching a Ralts, shiny, Level.5, and it knew Growl and Confusion right off the back.

Wrong section, pal.

Also, Lance was a great WTF moment, but the spinning wheel on Quilava? I had that too! On Crystal, whenever Quilava had Flame Wheel (more than once) it was a spinning rod of fire that attacked the enemy.

Also, capturing Mew in Yellow. At level 7.
 
One of my first wtf moments was when I noticed Karate Chop was a normal type move. and learning Bugsy was a guy. XD

Another one was a long time ago. It was my first Red save and I had 146 pokemon in the pokedex. I let my older sister play it for an hour and she apparently starts a new game and saves. She thought there was multiple save files. I nearly cried. (Team: Charizard, Pidgeot, Raichu, Primeape, Dugtrio, and Snorlax. all were level 100... I think, Raichu might have been a tad lower.)

Grammatically correct- "I had a WTF moment in Crystal. I was fighting Lance and I had my Golem remaining. It was at full health, and it was fighting his Charizard. It used Wing Attack and KO'd my Golem. Was it a hack?"

Here's the answer- Charizard has a high attack stat, plus STAB from Wing Attack, making it do 1.5x the normal damage. Even though Golem has a high defense and the fact that the attack should only do 0.5x damage, it technically does 0.75x the normal rate. If Charizard has a significantly higher attack rate and you neglected defense EVs/IVs, then Charizard could easily KO your Golem.
 
But this ...wait, what? :\
 
My WTF moment was when I taught my Gyrados fly in Red version.. (I specifically remember using it for ages because I didn't like any Bird Pokemon.)

And.. I found out years later that Gyarados can't actually learn fly in that game .__. Wonky script?

One that happened in my bootleg Silver:

"UNOWN used TEA study!"

Those pirates fail at translating.
 
Playing Pokémon Crystal. 1st time against Lance, I had my team of 5 Trained Pokémon and I forgot I had Dratini with Extremespeed in 6th slot.

So I started fighting.
*minutes after that*

Last Pokémon of Lance, his Dragonair, Last Trained Pokémon of mine, Typhlosion...
Typhlosion used <I can't remember the attack>
Dragonair: 1HP left
Dragonair used Hyper Beam
Typhlosion fainted.

And then, OMG I still have a Pokémon left!
Send Dratini. Uses Extremespeed

AND HE SAVES ME OMG WTF IS THIS, A LV15 DRATINI THAT I JUST GOT WON ME THE POKÉMON LEAGUE.

Of course, he won like 5 lvls.

Bad luck now my Crystal doesn't work :(
