The Great Pokemon Hunt

The infamous G/S/C Chansey. They only lived in one spot, and had ridiculously low encounter rate. I found one after about 2 1/2 hours. You should've seen my face :D

But then I remembered. You need to trade Chansey with a girl on that Route for Aerodactyl. So I went hunting for a second one. Took me days before I found another one (of course I didn't play for that many days without stopping, but I'm just saying it took a long time).

Also, it took me a surprisingly long time to find Pikachu in G/S/C (3 hours, I think it was). However I took me a while before I realized you could win a Pikachu at the Game Corner. T_T
 
Ouch...

Anyway, It took me.... 1-3 hours, I think... to find a Lapras in Platinum.
It wasn't that hard to encounter the roaming pokemon in my Pearl/Platinum, per se....
Just the feat of catching them was the thing that made me blow up...
 
Jynx in Snowpoint Temple drove me crazy. It took me about twenty minutes to find each one, and every time it used Perish Song! So would have to go back to the Pokemon Center once I was down to one Pokemon, heal up, and go back and try some more. This resulted in 2-3 hours of work for me.

Couldn't you have just cloned the chansy? I did.

I remember in silver, I was looking for a lickatounge so I could get a moon stone, and eventually, a fire stone. Anyway, I headbutted trees for 5 hours until I remembered that they were only found in a patch of grass in the middle of the pond on the same route... I banged my head on the bus seat for such stupidity...

Also, i used to hunt sneasels at Mt. Silver in the hopes of finding a shiny, but instead found a shiny tangela. i still caught every sneasel I ran into, and ended up with 3 boxes full.
 
Ironically, I found a Heracross on the first Headbutt tree I ever Headbutted, but I didn't play through Crystal thoroughly enough to aim for such rare Pokemon, or even know what you needed them for.

I also remember Surfing and finding two Lapras in a row; thinking they weren't all that rare, I decided to save my Quick Balls for a shining Bellsprout I was aiming to chain. Of course, I wouldn't have caught the Lapras anyway, since they both used Perish Song on the first turn.

Finding the wandering Legendaries isn't that hard for me in Platinum. I just stock up on Quick Balls, open the Marking Map, save, and fly to Hearthome and Veilstone repeatedly until a Legendary is on one of the adjacent routes. If I run out of Quick Balls, I turn off and do it again, to avoid wasting money.

You could have just used Quick Balls. o.O After getting it to about half health, the Lapras I caught used Perish Song, so I just threw a Dusk Ball and caught it.
 
I once spent a very long time - about six hours - trying to find a Dragonair in my LeafGreen Safari Zone. It never happened, and I eventually gave up, and that's when I realized that I already had one. D=

Sorry for not being clear. >< I did use Quick Balls, but only two before fleeing when I had time to use three.
 
I was looking for Feebas after I finished Ruby(for Milotic and ect) and I searched all day. I got on the next and kept searching and searching, and finnally I got him but when I maxed out beauty he would not evolve. I even breeded and still no results....

What natures were the Feebas and its baby? I could help you with this :)
 
I spent three days saving up coins from the slots in Pokemon Red so i could get a Scyther. I know i could have gotten one in the safari zone, but it would have been a much lower level than all of my other pokemon and i didn't want to spend time raising it that much. I also needed someone to use Cut. I like the old games.

I also spent two weeks trying to find a chimecho in my Ruby. I gave up.
 
I hate getting feebas. arg! I had my modest syncronizing espeon in the front and my false swipe sneasle.... but i never even found one. only time i caught one was when my sister and i were feebas hunting in the advance games... she found one above the waterfall ao we just mixed records.

The nature for the Feebas male was: Gentle and the babies were male: Calm, female: Sassy (I bread with Ditto)

Hmm... none of those lower special attack, so you should be fine. Are you SURE the Pokeblocks were TOTALLY dry?

Oh, and how did the bread taste? *slapped*

I don't think I mentioned my resetting for a shiny Squirtle yet. It's been going for almost two weeks.
 
Zapdos still refuses the caress of my Quick Balls. T_T

I had trouble with Lapras, but not as much as everyone else. Took me about 20 minutes IIRC.
 
*Silently creeping through the trophy garden* Here female Eevee...here female Eevee...

Four hours of endless Pikachus, Roselias, Kriketunes and Staravias. *Stupid Pikachus...mocking me when I can't find one in LeafGreen...*
 
Well.. I migrated ditto and lapras from this used leafgreen I got.. Articuno,Moltres,and a
level 89 blastiose waiting.. and about 80 masterballs!! I used some.. I spent forever
trying to get bagon.. until I realized I was on the wrong side of the route. Then I caught it. Snorunt took a while. I'm currently searching for a female starter.. Except mudkips! Two female ones. I dont want milotic.. But I'm ALWAYS getting a buneary with kluts!!
I'm stuck on that. I'm stuck on smeargle.. I'm not good at radar

This reminds me of grinding for a male Ralts on Pearl. And failing.

Breeding a female I happened to get, though, was fruitful. It took 4 eggs, but, it was.
