So I was playing Silver through Stadium 2, and suddenly the controls stop working. I press C-up to exit, but nothing happens. I (foolishly) unplugged my controller to plug another one in and reset (gotta love those older systems), not realizing that the game was playing from the Expansion Pak on the controller. Now that it's unplugged, I put the Expansion Pak in my other controller, plug that in, hit the reset button and loaded up Stadium 2. I hit A to skip the intro and nothing happened. I turn off the N64, replace Stadium 2 with Star Fox 64, and guess what; IT WORKS. Frustrated, I take Silver and shove it in my sister's GBA (I don't have one), and when I started it up, the colors were screwed up. I was aware of this glitch, but this was different. Single-pixel red and green alternating tiles were all over the screen, and I could hardly see anything. I was about to reset and change the colors to black and white through the GBA, but then I remembered I couldn't, because it's recognized as a "Black GBC Cartridge" (despite the fact that it's colored silver, but most GB-compatible GBC cartridges are black). So I went to a local store and bought a Game Boy Pocket for $10. Load up Silver, what do you know, the file's erased! I hit New Game and it freezes. I hit Option and it freezes. So I go on my laptop, open VBA and load up a Silver ROM, when I discovered that my savestates are gone. I start a new game, go through the Oak intro, and I end up at my house, and I think so far that this is gonna be a normal playthrough. Messing around, I fast-forward and run around at three times my speed, when I finally get bored and go into Elm's lab. I can't stop fast-fowarding. So, at three times my speed, I run into Elm's lab. After giving me the usual lecture, I select Totodile. "So, is CHIKORITA the POKéMON you want?" No. I choose Cyndaquil. "So, is CHIKORITA the POKéMON you want?" NO. I choose Chikorita. "So, is CHIKORITA the POKéMON you want?" NO! I decide to get Totodile-Chikorita. Ironically, since I chose Totodile-Chikorita, my rival had Chikorita as well, as I'd soon find out. Or not. The game crashed, and I just gave up then.

 I remember about a year ago, I was playing My Platinum game late into the night, trying to get runs in the Battle Tower. When I finally saved the game and put it away, I was so tired, I fell asleep almost immediately. Then, I had a dream that really creeped me out. In my dream, I was still playing Platinum(although, now that I think about it, It didn't really look like the battle tower), and was just saving, when the words at the bottom of the screen (where it usually says "Saving... Don't turn of the power") changed. It now read "An Error occurred while saving. Your save file will be deleted after another 5 minutes of Gameplay". I woke up at this point, really spooked.I spent a little while convincing myself it was just a dream, then fell back to sleep. Once again, I dreamed I was playing Platinum, still in the strange battle tower, just standing in one spot. After a moment or so a blue screen (Like the one you get when your wireless connection is interrupted) popped up. I don't remember what it said, but it basically meant that my save file had been erased. I woke up again, and was so spooked at this point, I pulled out my DS to check that it really had been a dream.

A year or two ago, I was in my room, playing Pokemon Ruby out of boredom. I was training my Solrock, with my Gameshark in (but not on), with my cheated Lugia on my back in case my Solrock fainted. I was facing a Gentleman that I had faced many times before, in fact, I thought that Manectric he had wanted to kill me. Well, he almost got his revenge that faithful day. So, I had sent Solrock out, with the Manectric facing me. I was walking around, ready to have my Solrock use Rock Slide, but I accidentaly dropped my DS. I picked it up, saw that my game wasn't frozen, so I continued my move and hit "Rock Slide". Then came a screen I could never forget, even to this day:



"Bad EGG used QUICK ATTACK!"



It one-hit KO'd my Solrock, and my eyes bulged out like baseballs. I couldn't believe this happened. I sent out Lugia, fearing that Manectric/Bad EGG's stats had been maxed out to 999. Looking at the team screen, I clicked Lugia, but when that battle screen came up again, Manectric's sprite had become an egg. Lugia faced the demon egg, and I changed to the Bag screen. Then I went back to the battle screen to see if Manectric's sprite had gone back to normal.



It had totally disappeared.



I used Aeroblast, and it utterly scraambled the egg. It cried the anguished cry of a Bulbasaur, and the game said, "Bad EGG fainted!". I sighed a breath of relief. I looked at my Gameshark, attached to my game, and thought, "This thing sure pulls off some serious ****." I walked along, afraid of what was in store for me.



A year later, in my cheated Leaf Green, I was in my room, playing with my figurines. Suddenly, my sister knocks on my door, holding my DS and playing my Leaf Green with the Gameshark. She seemed terrified.



"What should I do!?" she asked, showing me the DS screen. And I was shocked again.



My Ivysaur was facing a wild Lv.8 ??????????.



I looked down in horror at that sprite.



And all I could say was "RUN. GODDANGIT, RUN!" She clicked run, and Ivysaur fled the horrid beast. I was frightened big-time.



Nowadays, my Ruby and LeafGreen are gathering dust in my game-holder. The Gameshark is stored away somewhere; I'm hoping deeply that I won't have to deal with that "serious ****".
