Pokemon you wanted to catch: Zapdos
Story: I was in the Power plant with mah level 70 Blastoise (It was the only Pokémon I trained :p) and started catching as many Pokes as I could. Then up came Zapdos. The battle started, and my Blastoise was ready for battle!
outcome: MY STUPID BLASTOISE BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THE DAMN THING!!! D:<
 
I think it was 1999 i had the Yellow Version, and it took me forever to find Articuno, and i saved a little before that and caught ONE pokemon(i think it was Dewgong) but when i got to Articuno, i tried to throw a ball and it said "the box is full" i was like "nooooo"

And also i caught a Kyogre with a net ball a few years back. (because i was saving master ball for Rayqueza}.

Route/area: Sky Pillar
Pokemon you wanted to catch: Rayquaza
Story: Well, to make things hard, I had to ride my Mach Bike over all those cracked floors, which took an hour. Then, once I got to rayquaza, I saved before I battled him, just in case if I would make him faint or if I would use all of my Ultra Balls. SO, I kept restarting again and again and it was almost impossible to catch him.
outcome:I caught him after about an hour.

Year: I don't remember... 2002?
Your age: 13
Route/area: Whirlpool Island(?)
Pokemon you wanted to catch: Lugia
Story: I started with 40 or so Ultra balls, I used them all, and for the heck of it, all of my great balls. I was about to restart and try again but I remembered that I had one ordinary Pokeball left. Well.... I threw it and...
outcome: I caught 'im! :D With a stupid pokeball... ;249;
 
Version: Silver
Year: Like 3 or 2 years ago.
Your age: 12
Route/area: Whirl Islands
Pokemon you wanted to catch: Lugia
Story: Okay so I had a problem finding my way through the Whirl Islands. I have tried many times, but always couldn't find the dam sea bird. After like an hour or so, I finally found it. I was young so I thought if you pressed a lot of buttons and shaked the gamboy you could catch a Pokemon easier. At that time, I didn't know that if you pressed A, B, Select, and Start, you would reset your game. So I decided to press A, B, Select, and Start...
outcome: My game reseted in the middle of battling Lugia and I didn't save before.

You. Get it?
Version: FireRed
Year: 2006
Route/area: Safari Zone
Pokemon you wanted to catch: Lv28 Scyther
Story: I was in the Safari Zone, looking for a Kangahskan. All of a sudden, an Female Lv28 Scyther appeared. I threw a Safari Ball at it. It didn't work, but it didn't flee from me. The second ball I threw worked and it's been in my team ever since!
 

Devilrose

Super Coordinator
Version: Yellow
Year: Can't remember
Your age: Can't remember
Route/area: Seafoam Islands
Pokemon you wanted to catch: Articuno
Story: I had Articuno in the red and paralyzed, but it just didn't want to be captured. I emptied my entire inventory of Ultra Balls and Great Balls on it but to no avail. By that time I had pretty much given up, but I had a single Pokeball that I picked up somewhere (sold all the ones I had to buy better balls) so I used it as a last ditch effort. To my surprise, though, it worked. After wasting all those Great Balls and Ultra Balls, the Pokeball caught it. The ONLY pokeball in my inventory. Bleh.

Edit: Just noticed Blacky has a very similar story to mine XD

Story: Saved right in front of it. I did one shot of pokeball throw! But failed. So I s.r.'ed and did it again. It got to my Rioru, where I only had 2 pokemon concious, and one was bye-bye. I threw the ball, said, "It's gonna break," and waited. One shake. Short pause. Two shakes. Short pause. Final shake. Short pause. CLICK! I captured Diaruga with full life!
