Regrets

Have you ever regretted anything you've done in a Pok?mon game? I can name a couple of recent things…

I tried everything to catch Uxie… False Swiping it down to 1 HP and sleeping it… I had to reset a fuckload of times! I eventually just gave up on Uxie and just killed it (and it gave shit for EXP, too!) I tried every type of ball (Ultra, Dusk, and Timer), but Uxie just wouldn't stay in the ball…

I had to reset four times, and I still had no luck, and I was saving the Master Ball for Giratina or Cresselia, so I just decided to kill Uxie instead… on my first try, I blacked out because I was out of Pok?mon, and had to reset; the second try, I ran out of balls; the third try, I ran out of Dusk Balls and actually banged my DS so hard that it froze; the fourth try, I used at least 30 balls, with no luck at all (at this point, I gave up and just killed her instead) >_<

Another, rather minor one, is wasting an Ice Beam TM on Weavile, who is probably the Ice-type with the lowest Spec. Attack… (and I don't want to blow all my Pok?money to buy casino coins for another Ice Beam TM, so I'm stuck with Blizzard for Gyarados…)

Yet another one is wasting a Thief TM, which I accidentally overwrote with a False Swipe TM on Sneasel so I could use it for catching Pok?mon -_-

I wasted a bunch of TMs on my Ru by back when I was younger because I didn't know there was only one of each. Also I beat Latios because I didn't know there was only one of him. I also missed the Master Ball, because I believed the Team Magma Grunt when she said she was lying.

I wasted all my coins on a Porygon in Leafgreen, when I should have gotten Scyther.

Back when I was much younger, I was playing Pokemon Red, and I encountered a Raichu. It was my favourite Pokemon at the time so I immediately went to catch it. I thought I had previously cloned some Master Balls, and that the x 1 actually meant 101. I was mistaken.

You didn't save, did you?

…I think he did.

One day, I was in my Leaf Green, and I wanted a Porygon in the Casino. I accidentally bought 5 Clefairies instead.

…Don't ask…

Yes. And this was on the school computers too, so everyone else was pretty pissed off at me.

I traded my friend a Seadra holding a Dragonscale, and it evolved into Kingdra, THE LAST POKEMON I NEEDED TO COMPLETE MY EMERALD POKEDEX.

Couldn't you just ask for it back?

I did, but he didn't give it back to me.

I regret using a gameshark SP profusively on my Leafgreen. I ultimately damaged the Memory subboard or whatever the fuck its called. It also caused the pokemon team I had to be deleted before I could get a pokemon Diamond or Pearl to save them. Fuck my life.

I was nine when I first got my silver version, but after I got the master ball I was on my way to the league hq and I was in victory road and this was the first time in my life I was ever going to beat the game so I ran into a donphan and I was like iholy shit! And I used the damn master ball not  knowing it could catch anything.

Ok, get this: Several years ago, my Dad went on a trip to China and got me some bootleg Pokemon games when he was there, including an English (yes, ENGLISH) Green version! That was before I knew much about Green and its glitches of course, but on one Summer, I left in in our car and didn't find it until months later. When I did, it wouldn't play in my Gameboy because the summer heat in that car had wrecked the inside somehow. So I regret that I will never get to play it again and its a rare bootleg game. I still have the cartridge though!

I have had my share of other regrettable stuff but don't remember a whole lot. I do remember a couple other things like wasting my time beating the elite 4 100 times to bust a stupid myth about getting your own gym or something many years ago. I was insanely rich though  :P!

I also lost my Leafgreen version on vacation, but fortunately it was after I got the version exclusive Pokemon onto my Ruby version Pokedex, and I still have Firered.
