Favorite pokemon moment

Since the zubat line is my favorite ever (crobat especially), catching a shiny golbat on the victory road in pokemon crystal when i was younger was probably the best thing ever!

Ew, Zubat! Grats on the shiny, but seriously, who likes the Zubat line?!

My hatred for them stems from the endless stream of them that you have to defeat in Red/Blue, plus the fact that they don't really learn any good moves in the early games.

Granted they were bad in the early games, I just can't get over the unique poison/flying line and Crobat is a a pretty good speedy attacker in the newer games. He's been in my team ever since I randomly evolved a Golbat in Pokemon Crystal.

Don't worry, Wolfster, you're not alone! Yes, I was annoyed at the plethora of Zubats you fight in Gen 1, Golbat was pretty neat and Crobat is just downright awesome.

It's like the ugly duckling that turns into the pretty swan, but only when you care about it <3 hahahahaha. Once Golbat likes you, it evolves into the awesomeness of Crobat and becomes legit.

That's awesome you got a shiny, dood

If only my brother didn't erase my game back then, I would still have him!

Awesome job catching a shiny Golbat (even though it was so late in the game. ) Sorry that your brother erased your game on you. I'd have to say that Crystal is bad luck (even though you had good luck in catching it, you ended up losing it), but I'm biased in that fact because the Crystal version I bought when it first came out wouldn't keep a save file at all. Have never touched Crystal since.

My current Crystal game was doing the same thing. I just went up to a local game store, they replaced the battery and stuff and only cost me $5. Works like a charm now!

I think my fav pokemon moment has to be when I first played Crystal. That moment being that I actually found a shiny Magikarp after catching the 'plotline Shiny' Gyarados, opposite gender even!

Hmm.... I'll have to try that out.  Didn't think about that.  Do you think GameStop would do it, or would it have to be a "local" store?

Damn, that sucks   I've lost many a save file due to poopy reasons.  The one time someone else messed up my Pokemon, though, was when I was making my team of level 100 baby Pokemon and had a 96 Teddiursa and my friend freaking evolved it when I borrowed it to him.... He had an everstone for a reason, WILLIAM!  *coughs* lol.

Ooh that's pretty cool. I'd suggest calling around, Fou. If I still had my old games I'd prolly do that. But I was a bad kid for keeping track of stuff lol. Moving all the time doesn't help either.

Lol was just about to actually but then my birthday distracted me XD.
