This fucker right here. FireRed was my second main series game and my fourth or fifth ever pokémon game, but Suicune was the first pokémon I ever struggled to catch. I was really cocky as a kid, but Suicune changed that quick. I had no idea what mean look and arena trap were at the time so it just kept running away from me. Even after weakening and paralyzing it I couldn't catch it. So after a hundred or so ultra balls, I threw up my arms and decided to use my master ball... and it broke free.
I had no idea what happened but it just disappeared after that. Checking my pokédex showed that it was just gone, no longer roaming or appearing anywhere. As a kid I never considered the possibility of a glitch so I just thought that it had effectively beaten me, that I just lost, and I just couldn't help but respect that. It was the first time I ever really "lost" to anything at the time so I gained a lot of respect for Suicune for being able to beat me. Looking back on it now it seems pretty ridiculous that I would think so highly of myself, but Suicune is still a pokémon I care about immensely because of that little event.
