Oh, geez, I hate those ragequitters! If I know I'm gonna lose, worst I'll do is forfeit- run from the battle.

It's not all bad, though. Some people actually are courteous enough to see the whole battle through. I remember one time, someone was nice enough to stay for the whole match, only for their team to get swept by my Slaking. They had Haxorus, Lucario, and Volcarona. I had Chandelure, Yamask, and Slaking. I think you all have a vague idea as to how that went.

In Firered, I went to Island 5 or 6 to catch a Natu. I ran outta Pokeballs. I then walked around, then found a Shiny Fearow. After defeating it(*sigh*), I realized I could have avoided the Shiny Fearow encounter because my Crobat knew Fly.
That happened to me, except replace "FireRed" with "Ruby", "Natu" with "Manectric", "Fearow" with "Zigzagoon", and "Crobat" with "Pelipper". And that Zigzagoon would have been my first shiny. It's that situation that taught me that the most important thing to do is to stock up on Poké Balls.

Well my worst time was with a Shiny Ekans in the SS Safari.

Exact same thing happened to me, only in HeartGold. I feel your pain.

Recently, I gave up on a weeks-long attempt to MM a Shiny Koffing. I went to Black City for the usual ten rematches... and the place was deserted. I was able to use my White Version to repopulate it somewhat, but for some reason, I'm not able to invite anyone from White Forest that used to be in my Black City. That, you know, aren't there anymore.

I'd have to agree, since the only thing relevant to EX is the Card series. Its possible they're bringing back old cards w an upgrade

That's exactly what happened to me. Minus the repopulating it because of White Forest since I just started White. Apparently the longer it takes you to get to Black City, the less people that will be there when you eventually arrive. Unfortunately I didn't know about this until after I went there to find it completely empty -____-

This hasn't really happened to me. Maybe once or twice with the first gen games, but I didn't really care and I still don't.

My file isn't corrupted in the 650 hours I play it so I actually don't fear it, and the file doesn't corrput without doing anything to your file, so you shouldn't worry.

I consider this question to be answered, so I'm closing it.

OP, the next time you have a question, use the sticky thread at the top of this subforum. It's there for a reason and that's to stop threads like this clogging up GPD and pushing the actual discussion threads down.

I knew about that part. As it took me around two days to beat Black Version, my Black City had been full from the start.

Probably when I ran into a shiny Golbat in Diamond or Pearl (don't remember) and I didn't have any poke balls.I was mad that I hadn't bought any poke balls previously.

Damn. That sucks. Had a similar incident... I was in the Safari Zone and I ran into a shiny Weezing. I almost had it, but it bolted at the last second :(. Darn it.

I don't hack or treat my games like trash, so the anxiety has never stabbed me with a knife.

I never hack anymore, though I used to. I was an avid user of Action Replay back in the day of Generation III. I somewhat fear bad karma, but it's not a huge fear with me, given that my Black Version has never so much as touched a cheating device.

I do hate the thought my fies COULD crash, so i generally save 2-4 times(Not just Pokemon, any game). But I have never lost a file, yet,....

Evaluation time!
I’ve had a few dreams where my Generation 3 and 4 games got corrupted: The Pokémon would know glitchy moves and some would just dissappear). My fears of this happening comes from the time when my copy of Mystery Dungeon Red didn’t load properly and I thought all my safe data was gone. Luckily, all my save data came back after I turned off the GBA and turned it back on.

Since I don’t use external devices on my games and treat them decently, My save file hasent been corrupted. Crystal and Ruby (and likely Gold, Sapphire, and Emerald) have had internal battery failure, but that’s due to age. The GEN 3 games are still playable and I don’t care about the GEN 2 carts. I’ve had no problems with Pearl (OVER 8000 hours of play), Platinum, SoulSilver, and White, and I expect them to stay that way for a while.

I've had quite a few of those moments throughout all my Pokemon adventures.
PMD2: Me (Charmander) and my lovely partner Mudkip were on our way to the top of Temporal Spire to save the world from darkness and such. We were enjoying the lovely music, and kicking lots and lots of butt. One floor away to the summit, we encountered a PorygonZ, which proceeded to mutilate my friend Mudkip with its extremely annoying Discharge attack. Words cannot even describe how pissed I was. I believe I said some things my mother wasn't proud of.
Sapphire: Simple. I picked up my Treecko, and saw the Poochyena I had to fight was shiny. I turned off my GBA SP..went outside, screamed bad things at Game Freak and cursed my luck.

I've had a few experiences with hax..but that's fairly normal with me and my luck. But that PMD2 one..My God...That still pisses me to this day..
