You know when you do a battle, and just one of the oppoents move choices are like, WTF? Or stuff like that, this is where you can post 'em.

Here's one of mine:
Go Mightyena!
Oppoenent sent out Plusle!
Used Theif! Stole the Plusle's Sitrus Berry!
Plusle used Fake Tears!

Like get it? Plusle was like crying 'cause it's Berry was Stolen, know what I mean?
 
Every Starmie in the Super Singles Battle Subway completely refuse to attack you. They just use Reflect Type every round until they faint.
Not really sure why though.
 
a trainer with 6 Magikarp.

it never fails, there ALWAYS seems to be a trainer like that.
 
I find it strange how some Gym Leaders and Elite Four members tend to chose their weakest move when you're on low health, as if they don't realise that's when you're probably most likely to switch or use a potion.
The AI also doesn't seem to recognise immunity giving abilities that heal you like Volt Absorb or Dry Skin, and seem to love spamming the ineffective move until you're completely healed.
 
How Wailord can miss with any of its attacks.
^This. Also, how Golurk can miss with Hammer Arm. Have you seen the size of the big guy's fists?!

Oh and seeing a Minccino use Tickle on my Golurk. Um, can anyone explain to me how a giant robot can be ticklish? (And why do I keep getting a mental image of my poor Riser on his back, arms folded over his chest, howling with laughter? Maybe I'm just weird.)
 
You know what's weird? How NPC opponents never stick with Fury Cutter OR Echoed Voice once they start it! If the AI wants the full benefit from the move, why don't they keep spamming it? This is especially true w/Fury Cutter, since in Gen II, Despite Bugsy's Scyther knowing that super effective move, my traded-in Drowzee was still able to win due to Bugsy not sticking with it(I have since laughed every time a opponent uses Fury Cutter or Echoed Voice, knowing it won't help if you don't use it to the fullest extent!)
 
Some of the Golurks I've faced in the Battle Subway tried using Fling, but they weren't actually holding anything to throw. For some reason, the CPU will repeatedly use the useless attack until Golurk fainted.

In Red/Blue/Yellow, the annoying beeping sound you hear when a Pokemon is low on health would change the sound of their cry to that of another Pokemon, usually Gastly.

It's not the size, it's how you use them
 
when I first played I didn't understand why the rival stalks you.
He is really annoying!
 
Every Ninetales I've fought in Sapphire has alternated Confuse Ray and Quick Attack in such a way that my Tentacruel could avoid every single hit by outspeeding it with Dive. Both attacks happen while he's still underwater. Silly Ninetaleses.
 
I once had Drake of the Hoenn Elite4 repeatedly had his pokemon use Dragon-Dance and let me kill them before they could attack. lol, Dragon-Dance till they faint.
 
delcatty used attract!
the foe's togetic became infatuated!
the foe's togetic is infatuated!
the foe's togetic used sweet kiss!
delcatty became confused!

me: .... what?
 
Just the fact you can walk into someone's house without a care in the world. then you talk to them and their not reaching for the phone or grabbing the nearest blunt object. the either start a friendly conversation or give you something valuable. WHAT THE HECK!
 
How one-fourth of all Azurills change gender upon evolution.

I know that some fish change gender for reproductive purposes, but aquatic mammals? Seriously?
