Thread: Your "What the....?" moments!

I was catching fodder so I could trade my friend's Pokemon that I was holding for her over to her game, and I look in my box after a while, and I swear I see a Lillipup that's a different color. So, I look at its summary, turns out it was a shiny. It's more of a "what the?" moment because I never noticed I'd even encountered a shiny Lillipup until I looked in the box.

I kept it. xD

Also, 200th post, yay!

On my Plasma finale battle agaisnt Akuroma, I had my Lopunny use Jump Kick on his Magneton. Since our levels were similar, the Jump Kick would've KO'd the steel magnets in normal circumstances. However, it survives in the yellow!

You have no idea how much I was surprised when I learned that Magneton was holding an Eviolite. AN EVIOLITE.

I spent 3 hours trying to beat Cynthia in Platinum, and when she was down to just her Garchomp in red health with no Full Restores left, it got FOUR critical hits in a row on my remaining four Pokemon! Needless to say, I put that game away for eight months.

My first critical capture, which happened during the post game while wandering around for N's Pokemon. It was in Chargestone Cave with a Dusk Ball, and I think it was his Ferroseed or Joltik.

That weird sound when throwing the ball made me go "HUH WOAH THAT JUST ..WHAT" for like 10 minutes.

Colress' team isn't overpowered, but apparently he has even better AI than Veterans and Cooltrainers. Maybe Challenge-Mode AI when playing at Normal-mode. He has surprised me a couple of times.

For a team with mostly steel-types, he was quite difficult, not to mention the surprisingly good usage of held items like the Eviolite and the Balloon. His rematch team was highly difficult that I had a lot of trouble. I guess the battles with Colress were my "What the" moments

His Magneton holds Eviolite? I never knew that... Probably why I had a hard time beating it the other day, even using Emboar's Heat Crash.

When I found out that Golbat used to look like this:
in Red and Blue.

When I found out you get no medal for completing the Habitat List.

I haven't caught them all, just seen the majority of them, but still.

On New Year's Eve, I headed to Icirrus City on my B2 cart. Oh hey! Diamond dust! It's cool but no real big deal. When I hit the Pokemon Center, I get a medal for seeing it. I quite literally mumbled, "Uh, what?"

Probably when I was in "The Strange House" from Black 2. I had finally put together that the creepy vanishing ghost girl was the same ghost girl from Black/White on the Marvelous Bridge.

Another time was when I realized that Blitzle/Zebstrika was based off of Zebras. God I was such a moron.

Same here, except I didn't actually NOTICE the diamond dust.

When I was surfing in SoulSilver I encountered an entei.

Yeah, imagine being nine years old, playing after bedtime in the dark by the light of a Game Boy LED attachment, wandering around in Mt. Moon (which was already creepy as it was), and running into that. </nightmares>

Anyway, biggest WTF moment was probably when N's castle started coming out of the ground in BW. Had never seen that in a Pokemon game before.

New addition to my list:

Was combing Icirrus City for items, approached the PP Up...

Suddenly, Shadow Triad.
