Strange/Stupid/Amusing Moments in Pokemon Gaming...

whenever me or my sister try to do the mew glitch on Red, ditto's become endangered species, but any other time we play they appear every time we walk in that patch of grass. the game loves to troll us.
 
There was a time in FRLG where I could catch a Ditto with a single Ultra Ball or even a Great Ball. Fast forward to White2 and bam ! It takes me like 10 Ultra Balls to catch that thing. Did Gamefreak lower its catch rate or does my game just hate me ?

Also, I couldn't help but laugh at Rotom-fan; a Flying type with Levitate ? Oh Gamefreak. What's next ? A Steel type with Immunity ?

Some smartass developer on Pokemon Showdown made one of the pokemon you can recieve in random battles a Rotom-F with an air balloon attached. It probably would have known Magnet Rise too, if Rotom could learn that.

Pretty sure Transform copies catch rate. If you left out something hard to catch for it to transform into, well, there's your problem.
 
Accidentally soft resetting in a battle with a friend. That I was winning.

And also a Docile Gyarados.
 
Becoming obsessed with breeding for a certain nature and gender. I didn't care about this for years, and still I completely forget about IVs. I don't even know. Just so much time spent on boxes full of random things waaay past what would be reasonable.

And then usually I get bored of the kid I spent hours on. >:c!


ummm other things! Before we actually found out what IVs were (and what natures did), me and a friend would spend genuinely hours on car journeys just constantly soft resetting for an RSE starter that turned up with all stats 10+. It's actually kind of really annoying to do! And yet! Hours!
 
In SoulSilver:
"KABUTOPS poked your belly!"
Also, in Platinum (or Pearl, can't remember:)
"CLEFAIRY used METRONOME!
CLEFAIRY used JUDGEMENT!"

Not quite. It was just as hard to catch when it transformed into duck left as it was with volcarona.

I first thought that the trainer nature on your trainer card affects the natures of wild Pokemon you encounter, increasing the rate of encountering a wild Pokemon having a nature matching the one on your trainer card. I was pretty disappointed when I failed to find a relaxed Ferroseed despite trying numerous times. I still don't know what those trainer card natures are...
 
When I was little and didn't know about type effectiveness and evenly leveled parties, I got myself a Charizard and couldn't get through Dark Cave in LeafGreen.

And you know, LG is still the only main series game I haven't beaten yet. Unless you count Red in SoulSilver.
 
Ohhhh I remembered finally. Poison! the scene: ~10 years old, west of Mauville, never having played a pkmn game for a decent length of time before.

a party member got poisoned and I was walking and okay that scary buzz every few steps is actually really bewildering at first. :( I was convinced my gameboy was broken and was terrified of having to tell my parents about it. what I want to know a) that is a pretty late time to be first poisoned b) what on earth did I think when the thing eventually fainted

I remember being confused for a long time so apparently I just healed and felt intense but temporary relief???? a sad story.


(I am just going to presume this thread accepts your own silliness? I guess Being an Idiot is more the place but I maintain that it's a pretty ridiculous thing to not to explain in-game.)
 
I'm not quite sure where this goes, but when the Shadow Triad shows up around Icirrus, I made one of the most amusingly startled faces ever. Like holy wow, was not expecting that.
