Suddenly, Marlon appeared out of nowhere and went and stood at the blue Jellicent picture and a cameramen took our picture.

...wut

Had that happen, then I had a picture snapped with a Gothitelle of all things. That made me mumble, "What just happened?"

I just checked the easter egg and I got the photo with a Gothorita (not Gothitelle, based on its cry). Are you (both Silverwynde and Dark Blueberry) using a male or female player? Maybe depends of it. Because a photo of my player with Marlon would be specially weird...

EDIT: And then the Medal stalker guy gave me a medal for the photo.

I once had a photo taken with a Gothorita as well. Kinda wish I can take photos with other people, too...XDD

I remember when my version of Black did this weird glitch where lost my save file and had to start again. I got in a stress with my sisters and was so unhappy I turned of my console, and cried a bit... Fortunately though, it was just a weird glitch. I though Tammy was gone forever!! (That's the name of my FEMALE Emboar)

Doing PMD Gates to Infinity demo. Named my Snivy partner Lyra...

...only to realize my partner was male later on in the demo.

Oh I remember fondly those Red and Blue sprites...

MFW encountering Golbat in Red after I had grown up:

...I hope that image shows up.

...it's the "Everybody's getting raped" Hentai Woody meme...

When I first played crystal version (so many years ago...), I got an Eevee in Goldenrod and whatnot and so as I'm battling Morty in Ecruteak, I'm thinking, "Oh, I'll send Eevee out first to get experience from the gym leader and then switch him out with a different one immediately." This after I'd already beaten his Gastly. Good plan, right?

Oh god...

I sent Eevee out, thinking I'd switch him in the next turn, but his Haunter uses Mean Look and my Eevee is trapped. So I'm freaked out, since Eevee has all normal type attacks and nothing can hit the Haunter and I don't want it to die (I want the tasty exp!) So frantically I use Sand-Attack and Growl over and over (stupid, why?), lowering the Haunter's accuracy to the point that it can't touch me, and even if it did it would do like zero damage. But I can't touch it either, so we are at an impasse for like an hour, my Eevee using up all its attacks that don't effect the Haunter anyway, and the Haunter unable to hit me with anything because it's accuracy is non-existent. Finally I can tell the game was just like, "Oh fuck this shit..." because suddenly the Haunter's Accuracy and Hit miraculously recovers within the space of a few attacks and now all of a sudden it can hit my Eevee and it manages to whittle down its hp and eventually kill it. I don't even remember what it used to do it. Mimic maybe. I don't know...

Then I slaughtered it with something else. I think my Quilava. Vengeance!

Something similar happened to me the other day in my HG, only it was Morty's Gengar. But Gengar used up all of its moves after Eevee spammed Sand-Attack and my lv. 15 Eevee won :P

My first ever shiny (and I have been looking for shinies since 2000) was caught yesterday when I started a new runthrough of HeartGold. I hasd always figured that if I ever got my legit shiny it would be something stupid like a Bidoof, but no, it was a Mareep and I was looking for a Mareep to add to my team. For a moment I questioned my atheism, such was the unexpected fortune.

Then today it evolved into Ampharos, and...it's naked. It's all pink and naked-looking.
Wut?

Just now, I was on the Marvelous Bridge in White doing that Patrat show thing. I didn't realize that the girl asked me to follow a Patrat, so when she told me to find the one I had to follow I just picked a random one and got the prize! :D

The "Strange House" from Pokemon Black and White 2. Since I didn't get into Pokemon until Gen 5 (so in other words, I have never played Lavender Town, Distortion World, or any other creepy place in the Poke-universe), this place was the very first place in Pokemon that scared the hell outta me. The music creeped me out, and the ghost girl just gave me this face: 0_0 every time she appeared on the screen. Then when I was almost done, I had realized that she was the exact same ghost girl who stood on the Marvelous Bridge in Black and White.

After that, I was just muttering "Oh my god" to myself for several hours.

That moment in White 1 when your lead Pokemon tells N all your personal information.

Oh, it's cool Jolteon. It's not like we're enemies with N or anything. Let's tell the evil team bent on separating us where my mom lives!

When I found out Oshawott's nose is brown, I seriously thought it was red until I saw that "Catch! Oshawott" book that comes with a DVD and pokemon themed headphones at a book store. I thought it was a fake because Oshawott's nose was colored wrong so I didn't buy it

I'm trying to catch a Ditto in the Giant Chasm. I pitch a Quick Ball at it. It breaks free. I try a Dusk Ball, since this is at night. Nothing. I go with a Repeat Ball. Again, it busts out. I sigh, shake my head and throw a Poke Ball at it, expecting the idiotic thing to jump out. The Ditto in question is at full health and level 50.

It stayed in the Poke Ball. I caught myself mumbling, "What the slag just happened?"

Catching Reshiram. I literally used only two of my Samurott's False Swipes and then I threw ONE POKÉ BALL, and I caught it. I was like:

When I got the medal "OK Souvenir Getter"

I had hacked to get a Mewtwo in B2 at route 1 and Adler's all like "Nice Mewtwo you got there. It seems stronger than others of the same species."

Adler's seen other Mewtwos?

When I noticed Spinda's spot placements are unique to each individual.

I was playing the slot machine on Pokemon Platinum, and I got a NORMAL Clefairy. Up until then, I had only seen the Ditto Clefairy. O_o
A couple of rounds later, out pops a SHINY Clefairy. I didn't know those were in the slots, either! Totally blew my mind.
