I was playing my Red vs. my Blue (Me vs. me). My Blastoise in Red had just killed a Venusaur in Red. I was sitting on the floor next to my bed, holding the GBA with the Red in it, while the Blue was sitting on my bed. I was frantically pressing buttons, when all of a sudden I see my Game Link Cable fall on the floor, still attached to my Red. My Blue was no longer attached. Uh oh. I yanked my Red GBA too hard. My Blue crashes and freezes. My Red is still working, however. I had just selected my next Pokemon in Blue (Venomoth), but the screen says "(name) sent out (bunch of glitchy blocks)!" This freakish glitched up Kingler appeared. It attacked me with Flamethrower (Huh?). I withdrew Blastoise and sent out Jolteon. I attack Kingler with Thunderbolt, but it does a VERY pitiful amount of damage to Kingler, yet the screen cries "It's super effective!" I went to withdraw Jolteon to use Golem, but the screen cries "BRYAN (my real life first name) withdrew GOLEM! BRYAN sent out GOLEM!" What the f**k? My Golem comes out, all glitched up. I go to use an attack, and I see he's got an attack called "TM51". I use it. The game instantly crashes and fills up with glitch blocks, makes a very loud BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sound, and I freak out. Very, VERY frightening. I almost never Link Battle anymore.
Have any of you encountered similar freakish experiences during Link Battles?
