We've all been there - you see a rare Pokémon pop up, your heart rate skips and beat and you tap furiously on it to initiate the capture sequence. You're resume normal breathing patterns, perhaps toss out some berries to calm it a tad to ensure it's yours. You toss the Pokéball and... nothing.

The game has frozen, but it's not the ice-cold "Nope, I'm not budging" static screen staring back at you that does the most damage - it's knowing said creature could be gone forever.

I once faced a Vaporeon next to my local river, tossed berries and had the app freeze up after tossing one Pokéball.

It still haunts me to this day.
