Lost!

Everyone, if you were my copy of Pokémon Pearl - the one where I've completed the Pokédex! - where would you be?

Have you ever lost a game? Did you find it? Please tell me a good story!

Trouble is, I don't know whether some long-lost games (my old copy of Pokémon Blue, for instance) were lost or stolen in the Great Balladeer's Family Burglary of Oh One (or possibly Oh Oh, don't recall). More recently, however, my copy of Pokémon Black has eluded discovery, box and all; and I have the boxes for Wario Ware Touched and DK King of Swing, but not the games! Dyspraxia, am I right?

I had a Pokemon Red stolen, pokemon Ruby I think was taken/given away by my parents (never sure which) with my GBA
Then I lost my entire DS and 3DS collection minus 13 games in one go on the train, (the only 3DS game I still had was Shinobi).
Finally I lost my 3DS in a lecture hall, with my second copy of Ghost Recon Shadow Wars.

I also managed to leave a bag containing my Wii and its best games on the train. It had an SSBB save file with every trophy in. EVERY TROPHY.

Looks like I've been lucky so far: all I've lost is a copy of Pokémon Ruby and several PlayStation/PS2 games that I've lent out to folk during the years who I've forgotten. Tekken 4 and Metal Gear Solid 2 are definitely two of those.

Brilliantly, I found a copy of Harvest Moon back a few years ago that I hasn't seen in a decade. It was in a drawer I hasn't cleaned out in a decade.

I still have all my Pokemon games

Though in sad news I did lose my game card of TWEWY which is why I was probably one of the only few excited it was coming out on IOS

There's a Pokemon Pinball cart for the Game Boy somewhere at my Dad's, but I have no idea where. God, I loved that game.

I’ve lost mario sunshine, I leant it to a work mate unfortunately I was made redundant before I could get it back. Al ounce lost super smash bros melee some how it got behind a tomb raider and futurama standee, and didn’t find it in till I moved and by that time I’ve all ready bought another copy.

I lost my copy of SM64DS, I did finish it but its been gone for years and *sniff* I miss it! *sobs*

Ah, so that's why you're without a 3DS. I never did find out. You, sir, are unbelievably unlucky/absentminded.

I've lost a fair few games over the years.

Donkey Kong Country (GBA): Lent out; never returned,
LittleBigPlanet (PS3): Lent out; never returned,
Ninja Cop (super rare GBA game, since recovered),
Pokémon Crystal: Lost in the abyss that is my bedroom,
WarioWare Twisted: See previous reason,
Pokémon Platinum: Same reason,
Kuru Kuru Kururin: Same reason. ()


Lessons learned: Never lend stuff out. Ever; keep loose games in a dedicated cupboard.

The bottom three games in that list I've since re-purchased. I was beside myself when I realised I'd misplaced WarioWare Twisted, which I bought from GameStop during a trip to America.

I don't think I have ever lost a game that didn't turn up later. Andyman's story is truly heart rending.

I recently lost MK Wii & the wheel, it must have just got up & walked away.

Here's a great explanation of where our games may be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_bmPbPHCOY
