Person in the GTS wants a male Oshawott for... some pokemon or other I can't remember.
Okay, so I go breed a bunch of Oshawott.
I got 8 females in a row. Argh.

most 'AARGH!!' moment? That'd be when I lost my soul silver game. I had every pokemon from all my other games on it. Everyday, I still wanna punch a hole in my wall over it.

When I was about to reach a new record in the battle subway but they crit. Massive waste of time.

The thing is though, I'm sad enough to try again and waste more time.

That's why they call it the Battle Haxway.


Trying to do the GTS evo glitch(deposit poke you want to evolve by trading, do a trade, and then withdraw it in one conection) I gradually had to trade my lv.50 Kangaskhan for a level 2 Pidgey(yes, it was that bad of a day)

Trying to catch Kyogre in a great ball.

That worked for me :). Mine is trying to battle a Litwick with my Combusken. None of my moves really worked.

spending forever to hatch a Dratini, to get a shitty nature

Yeah, I know how that feels. Breeding a Pokemon only to discover it has a bad nature.

It sorta reminds me in Black when I was so eager to use the Mr. Mime I Poke Transferred over from SoulSilver and darn it, she has an Adamant nature.

So I had to breed her, hatched a male Mr. Mime and he turns out with a Timid nature, not too bad.

I remember catching a Pawniard for the first time, I was so looking forward to training her then I took a look at her nature and she was Calm WTF! I then kept catching more Pawniards until I got a female with Adamant nature and Defiant (she evolved into Bisharp afterwards).

This is a title.
Whenever the game goes glitchy and I haven't save the game... =='' *I am playing in emulator*

Like last night... spent the whole night catching everything in Safari Zone... but then it's glitchy. AAAAAAAAAAARGHHH @@''

We couldn't save inside safari zone ;u; such a pain... lost everything I caught that night... *sigh*

Trying to catch Kyogre in a great ball.

I caught that and Groudon inside POKEBALLS :p
And Groudon just took me one pokeball 8) without any resets... lol I was lucky.
:p

On a similar note, wasting 90 Ultra Balls and 30 Great Balls trying to catch Zapdos in LeafGreen, and then using the only regular old Poké Ball you have... and catching it.

EDIT: Oh, or catching a shiny Geodude in Pearl, only to have your DS's battery run out.

When I caught a shiny staryu, EV trained it and got my file deleted -_-
 
I already said this in the Metronome thread, but I'll post it here as well.

I decided to go to the Mt. battle, to train some Pokemon and raise some levels of the Pokemon I've EV trained last week. In battle 100, I ended up having only a severely damaged Togetic left, the opponent only had his Slaking left. Slaking was loafing around and quite damaged. Togetic used Metronome, and ended up using Double-Edge. Togetic charged Slaking and hit him in the nuts! Nah, just joking about the nuts, but Togetic hit Slaking. Slaking ended up having around 1 HP left, barely surviving the Double-Edge, and Togetic died because of recoil damage... All my recovery items and money I spent on them wasted... And I forget to save before the battle while I got many EXP in the battles before the lost battle, so pressing the power button of my GameCube was not an option... I put on my rageface after that battle!

Since Red & Blue!
My most 'ARRGHH!' moment and still is to this day would have to be almost any lose on the battle subway (because i only ever lose by just a little bit) or the fact that I ran into a Shiny Abra in Heartgold. All I had was great balls. Throw one...shakes a few times and BOOM! it's gone.

I remember encountering a Shiny Pidgeotto once, and I had no Poke Balls with me (and also no Great, Ultra or other balls), not even one.
