[ALL] I was in 7th grade, and I just found the Master Ball

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I never knew that Mewtwo would be such a pain in the ass at the end of the game...nobody ever told me.

All my knowledge from Pokémon came from the show; so naturally I thought Ditto was the most badass Pokémon there was. The first time I found one in the wild, my heart stopped. I immediately tossed my one and only Master Ball at him in order to catch him. Nobody told me that Ditto's were ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! AND WERE TERRIBLE!!!

Fast forward a few months, and I'm at the end of the game. I'm locked in an epic battle with Mewtwo on the school bus. No matter how low I got his health, I couldn't capture him. Time and time again, I sent Ultra Ball after Ultra Ball out and he would still elude me.

Friends all around me eventually asked why I wasn't using the Master Ball to catch him. I felt my face go flush with embarrassment...the walls started closing in around me. There was NO WAY I could tell them the truth, I would never hear the end of it. I said I had never found the Master Ball in the game and was too close to the end to bother going back for it. Everyone around me bought the lie; I was safe from ridicule but the lie burned a hole into my soul.

For 15 long years I've carried this lie with me. It's time the truth finally came out. There is nothing I can do and no amount of words I can say which will ease the burden of truth I've just entrusted to you. All I ask is forgiveness in time.

I'm so sorry.

You thought this cum stain



was better then this nigga?


Did you even watch the show?

[Raidersabc123]

I did the exact same thing! I thought if I caught ditto I would be able to choose any pokemon I wanted for him to transform into

You guys should've bought some Nintendo Powers so you didn't look like a bunch of clowns.

I feel your pain.
My Master Ball incident happened in 3rd grade, on my walk home from school. Articuno. That beautiful bird. So sleek. So elegant. The greyest of grey (Remember, Pokemon Red). I could not capture it, no matter how many times I shut off the game and battled her. I had no other option. I had to throw it. I couldn't let this beautiful bitch elude my capture. The throw- Peyton Manning-esque. The capture- like Joe Mauer catching a fastball. The celebration dance on the sidewalk in Mustang, Oklahoma. My Mullet flowing in the wind.

Mewtwo. Battle of my life. The realization. Heartbreak. Start new game? Yes. Are you sure? Yes .

caught mewtwo with a pokeball

You know looking back on my poke days I never ever used my masterball on anything. I guess I was always looking for a challenge and would always save before the great behemoths and try time after time to just use a ultra ball, great ball, or whatever I had to capture them, but NEVER the masterball.

[Derrville]

I did the same thing! I remember meeting Mewtwo and throwing out my Ditto only to have my spirits crushed by watching him get one hit KOed. What a waste. Ended up catching Mewtwo with a ultra ball though.

I used the Missingno. glitch and had infinite master balls.

[Golden Taters]

This is thread made me laugh. I ALSO used my Master Ball on a fucking Ditto

You're not alone my friend.

I used the Missingno. glitch and had infinite master balls.

I used it for the candy that leveled you up

I think I had a guide for Pokemon Yellow and I knew to save the Master Ball.

My favorite Pokemon memory was my mother allowing me to rent a video game each weekend I was at her house. Half of the time, I would rent Pokemon Stadium before I bought it, and one time, someone left their Pokemon on the game, getting me a level 60 Gengar and Golem as I transferred them off the game to mine
