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

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.

My first experience with poison was around Cianwood (guessing Tentacool Poison Sting). I thought it was lightning.

Oh yeah, once I was on the route with the Weather Institute in Sapphire and there was lightning, and I thought one of my Pokemon had been poisoned.
 
Haha, in Yellow, before I knew where to get the TM for Flash, I made my way through Rock Tunnel using the blinking light that happened when one of your Pokemon is poisoned. It wasn't the smartest (or most humane) way to make
it through there, but it worked.

Hah, well, it's certainly both smarter and more creative than going in blind.

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

Chalumeau corrected me that it stopped copying catch rate in gen V. So yes, it is harder to catch in gen V since it's always had a catch rate of 45.

Ah. That explains a lot. Still, I consider it a troll move on Gamefreak's part.

Random thing I realized when I saw the new ability 'rattled' - It increases your speed when hit by a bug/ ghost/ dark type move. Those three are the basic (common) fears. So your speed increases because you're scared. Also, psychic types are possibly weak to the three aforementioned types for the same reason - that they're three basic fears of the mind.
 
Well, they're also the most common fears as in statistics I guess? Bugs (spiders too maybe), ghosts, and the dark.
 
I think that ability is a cool concept. Anyway, an odd moment in Pokemon gaming:

Uh... can't you go somewhere else and do that? Just a little... echh.
 
I caught Zekrom in Black 2 with a Luxury Ball. Also I just got an Action Replay for Christmas and without cheats I caught Deoxys with a Quick Ball.

I did the Pokedex before I got an AR. Don't chew me out too bad.
 
Not really in the games themselves as much my reaction to them:
I realised recently (I think maybe for the second time, I just forgot again) that I've been reading Phanpy as Phanphy all these years.
I also realised that fresh water heals more than a potion which I assume was designed specifically for healing.
 
When I battled Cynthia in White 2, she tried to use Thunder Wave on my Zebstrika (who has Lightning Rod). Then she tried again. And again. I don't think her Togekiss used any other move before it fainted.

That was just. I get that you caught it with a quick ball without cheating about actually catching it, but catching deoxys in the first place is cheating. It's event-only, and you can only actually catch it in Emerald and FRLG, which use a gameshark instead of an AR.

I'm pretty sure there's an AR for GBA. I own one :/

There is. They were made specifically for Pokèmon.

Had some fun with the BW2 namerater yesterday, realized you can name them cuss words as long as the word is not standalone.

"Fucktard. Hmm. Sounds like a very 'you' name."

Douchebag.
