Pokedex Problems?

Ok, I've got a real problem here. I've been playing Pokemon games for years. As I'm playing my Leaf Green version, tracking down Raikou ;243; (my starter was Squirtle), I ran into him a second time. I used Wobbofet to Shadow Tag him into staying into battle. Soon after the battle started, Raikou used Roar and was lost again.

So I figured "Aw, ok.. I guess i'll have to track him down again"

So I looked in my pokedex, found his entry and pressed A...

And his location says "Area Unknown".

... I'm really confused about this. I didn't kill him or capture him, and he's gone completely. I tried to randomly find him again (by switching routes and max repel, etc.) to no avail.

Has anyone ever had any problems like this before? What should I do?

Thanks Guys. ;178;
 
I heard that its a verry bad glitch in FR LG that when Entei Raikou or Suicune use roar they are gone forever (unless you didn't save after the battle. If you didn't save just turn off the power and you will be fine but avoid them using roar again.) But I am not sure if thats the case exactly. I hope I helped you at least a little bit.

Aw, I did save it.. >_< This happened a few days ago, so I've saved quite a few times since. :(

That is a very unfortunate glitch. I sure hope that hasn't happened to me. :(

Thanks for the post!
 
It's not a glitch.

The game was programmed so that if Raikou/Entei uses Roar, they are gone forever. Hence why one is practically forced to use a Master Ball.

I hate to break it to you, but you won't be getting a Raikou anytime soon, unless it's in Colosseum.... :(
 
One fact: NEVER let them use Roar, you could have used the Master Ball, or had a Soundproof pokemon, but they would have run away anyways, I'm actually trying to catch Raikou in my LG without the Master Ball, and so far, he didn't use Roar on me yet...

Aw man. >_< It never used to be that way, in GS... *sigh* I wish I would have known. I used my masterball on Mewtwo, thinking that I could catch the dog on my own like usual. :(.. dang.

>_< Yeah, i used my masterball on Mewtwo. :( I thought I'd be able to find the dog again if it roared.

Well, thanks for the help everybody.
 
You'll have to to get Raikou from Colloseum or trade. Either that or start over. :/

Also, I'd like to tell anybody here that if you find Suicune, it won't Roar. It's the only one that can't, iirc. It never Roared at me, anywyas. (And when I caught it, it didn't know Roar.)
 
Wow I never new that, it happened to me today but I thought that the poison killed it from my Toxic while it was running good thing I turned it off.

But Suicune used Roar with me a lot of times and he didn't gone forever. After the battle in wich he used Roar I just checked the location on the Dex and he was there. I catch him using an ultraball, and I fought with him like 20 times.
 
Yup, this same thing happened to me about a month ago. It's a really unfortunate thing to suffer through, but I'm sure I'll get one from my friend who'll be getting one off of Colosseum soon.

suicune cannot know roar as a wild pokemon because it needs to eb taught it and it can only learn roar by TM

however i think that you are thinking of the suicune in G/S/C era

No, it was the Suicune of FR/LG, cause this two games are the only ones that I ever played.
 
^then it must've been a glitch because suicune doesn't know roar as a level up move
