Meaningless play?

W

W.T.

Donw with CIPHET!
Have you ever spent 4-5 hours on a game and then committed an action so as to render them completely meaningless? Like, have you accidentally soft-resetted after defeating four gym leaders and the Elite Four? Or lost on #99 at Mt. Battle? If so, do tell.
 
The latter of your two points happens quite frequently in the Battle Frontier.
 
Yes indeed. I frequently joke about the (hypothetical) "Evil Line of Code" that causes this to occur. My friend said it was something like "ResetDiffLevel=0 HAIL SATAN ResetTrainers=0." :-)

Besides the above examples, meaningless situations aren't found all that often, although if quicksaves and DS connection rescues aren't used they pop up quite frequently in the Mystery Dungeon games.

Dude that "Evil line of code" seems pretty interesting, SATAN? what the Hobo?

Anyways i dont understand your concept of "meaningless play"
 
No, my friend was joking. He was just making a play on the line's evilness.
 
I've kinda learned to save my game quite frequently cuz my ds is stupid and freezes. But I train for a couple [its an obsessive thing] and then it freezes up, I just get so mad I don't play for a long. But saving has become a thing of habit I don't think I've ever forgot to not save
 
I remember back when I was really little, I was playing Blue on my GBA and had been in a battle with one of the last trainers on the route above Cerulean. I had a Charmeleon who was locked into Rage, but his accuracy had been dropped. After several consecutive misses, I slammed the thing into my forehead (yeah...). It froze the game and I realized it had been about two hours since I had saved, back somewhere in Mt Moon. Suffice to say that I was just angrier after that.
 
I do it all the time. I just simply forget to save a lot of the time. But thankfully I have a habbit of saving after I do important things, so it's not so bad.
 
I traded my Pikachu from Yellow to Crystal at lvl 68, raised him to level 99, so close to lvl 100 I sneeze, knock the gameboy on the table, game frozed, game data deleted, my greatest accomplishment(up till then, I was like 6) wiped from the face of the planet.
 
Yeah, I once stuck my closed DS in my pocket, and the side power switch was pulled while I was walking around somehow. Lost a few hours of EV training.
 
This is really interesting pokemon rocks hahaha
 
Oh, i have a good one... I played and beat my whole Pokemon Crystal game and trained my Typhlosion to level 100. One day, I made the mistake of leaving the game and my gameboy advance in the car while I went to visit my aunt. My mom then drove the car to hang out with a friend and her 12 year old daughter. Well, apparently, the daughter didn't want to go shopping and she wanted to sit in the car so they let her. When they all came back, I went to go play my Pokemon Crystal only to find that my game had been erased!!! She had started a new game and she had the nerve to save it over mine!!! The little brat didn't even have my permission to play. I don't know her. She doesn't know me and to add insult to injury, she gave the female character her name!
 
That's how the Battle Frontier's streaks always torture us when we lose at least one battle.

Looks like an Ad Bot according to his signature.
 
Once, when I was training my friend's Pokemon on Pearl.

It also happened on Gold, where I lost my last three Kanto badges. They weren't that hard to replace.
 
Things like that have happened, but not really on pokemon, but, it can happen on pokemon.
Though, there was a time, that I had low power, and, well, I ended up being permanantly unable to play my new game, but, luckily, I got to play animal crossing on the wii.
 
I always do something really cool.....then the charge runs out

Lucky I learned that I should save the game years ago ;D
