ITT: Shit you used to believe >Manaphy was Water/Psychic

I used to think Luvdisc evolved into Alomomola when i was a kid.

That steel was SE against ground.

Today I found out there is no digduo

I can never remember the relationship between ice and rock. IIRC they are super effective to each other?

>>28973794
Rock is supereffective against Ice and that's it.

I only recently learned Claydol was Ground/Psychic and not Ground/Ghost.

>>28973382
I used to believe no legendary was able to breed, and there never would be one. Manaphy changed that.

>>28973898
>>Meowth wasnt a pokemon
Probably from watching the anime over playing the games, but still moderately what
>Castform evolved into Kecleon
>Grovyle evolved into Flygon
What.

For the longest time i thought that Jynx was Ice/Ghost

>>28973838

I thought Carvanha and Sharpedo were completely unrelated.

I also used to think there were no relation between pineco and foretress

>>28973382
Bulbagarden was one of the first Pokemon websites I found back sometime during 2000 when I first got internet. My child mind saw the site name and the episode name and assumed the Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden was a hidden location in Red and Blue where you could catch wild Bulbasaurs. Friends at school had similar beliefs and this eventually also grew into other "Field of the Charmander" and "Squirtle Lake" hidden locations. Once I got my Game Genie, I would look for them by cheating through walls.

used to think the blue markings on crawdaunt were its lips

Until recently I thought Groudon was always Ground/Fire, and for a while assumed Kyogre was Water/Ice in order for Groudon to stand some kind of chance against it.

>When the rocket count reaches one hundred, you can ride the rocket to find (I don't remember if it was Jirachi or Deoxys) (It might have been both, actually)

[Girafarig/Slugma/Skarmory/Marill/Wobbs/Natu/etc/etc] is gen III. Bug/Psychic is a type that some pokémon has. Ice is weak to Ground. Tortunator's tail is its penis. Gallade's cheek stuff is its mouth. Carvanha's mouth isn't visible - that's just the pattern of its skin. (And, while we're at it: Carvanha looks cool.) Forretress is forgettable. Floatzel is ugly. Hitmonlee isn't. It isn't worth going out of your way to find the 'mon that you want. Huntail > Gorebyss. Clefable is stupid, and I'll never use one. I'm going to use Rowlet.

>>28973794
Rock is SE against ice. Ice is neutral against rock.

The confusion might come from all the rock/ground niggers in Kanto. Ice is SE against ground, so it's SE against rock/ground.

Marill being called Pikablu.

>>28973985
Grovyle to Flygon works

I thought farfetch'd became doduo

I used to think Gligar was Poison/Flying. In fact I still forget from time to time

>>28973985
To be fair even Meowth forgot he was a Pokemon at one point

I thought that

>Bug types resisted bug type attacks.

>Slugma/Magcargo were Gen 3, rather than Gen 2.

Used to think bug was weak to ice. Apparently I was wrong

A long time ago I thought Spinda had an evolution.

>>28973382
I still occasionally use water attacks on Helioptile/Heliolisk believing it to be super effective

>Tyranitar and Magcargo were from Johto
They're both native to Kanto in gen 2

>>28974234
so, where are its lips?

>>28974609
... Don't those niggers get Dry Skin, making them absorb water attacks?

>>28974635
I think the whole "Dry Skin" thing makes me think it's part Ground or some shit.
Then I find out i've just restored its HP instead..

>Patamon was one of the first 150
I started with DP and remembered the design, not the name

>>28973898
Dragonite is huge, actually. Almost as big as an elephant, acording to the dex. In comparison, Charizard is the size of a roided manlet.

>Smeargle was called Paintdog
>Lugia was Water/Flying
>Psyduck line was Water/Psychic (why aren't they though)

>>28974685
I fucking wish it was

I love that bastard

At one point I had pokemon gold prima guide before the games and thought smeargel and miltank were related

>>28973382
>Ho-Oh is a "Rainbow" type

my ex boyfriend apparently used to believe that mew evolved into mewtwo at lv100, and into celebi with a leaf stone :S

>>28973382
I thought Suicune was an Ice type for a long time

I thought electric and water were good against steel

I used to think Mew was fairy type.

Water is super effective on Steel

Used to think saying "Gotcha" into the DS mic would increase catch rate in Gen 4

Until Gen 6, I thought its eye was its mouth and its mouth was a small armlike nub while the wax hair drooped over both eyes, we simply saw it at a slight angle.

>>28977609
Huh, I can see it. Looks cool, but not as qt as actual Litwick.

>>28973382
I used to think that stat-changes were permanent. So if I had my starter out in the first route, and a Pidgey used Sand-Attack until my accuracy was gone, I'd be really sad, because I thought my starter would never be able to hit anything again.

>>28977609
That's its nose, Anon. On Litwick's face, we see its left eye and nose, no mouth. You can look at the XY model if you doubt me, but I fucking wish it was its mouth

>>28978069
according to amie, it's nose and mouth are like one thing.

I always think contact moves do more than non contact moves.

If my Excadrill is out versus a Tyranitar, my instincts tell me to go for Iron Head despite me knowing that Earthquake is stronger.

>>28973382
Chimecho was Psychic/Steel. Still kinda pissed it isn't.

>>28978274
I just had to go look that up. I never thought about it. It only makes sense, right? It's a Wind Chime, so it's understandable.

>>28974104
>doubling down

>>28977609
i can image it, and it's really fucking cute

>>28977609
this would work nicely as an actual design

electric didn't affect rock
ice SE against rock
there were male chansey (i refused to use girl pokemon when i was little, so i searched for days for a male chansey)
that i couldn't not use my starter
that milotic was a divergent evolution from magikarp along with gyarados lol

I thought electric attacks were weak against steel but it's the other way around. I found out less than a week ago.

>>28973382
Thinking fire was super effective against flying, idk why, I just always did...

For the longest time I thought Pinsir evolved into Heracross since Scyther evolved into Scizor

>>28974104
Gen 5 was 6 years ago. A 12 year old would be 18 now.

>>28973756
>yfw it's now feasible to have been 12 when BW came out and be allowed to post here

>"What do you mean Ice isn't super effective against Water?"

>>28978314
It's based on a wind chime with a bell that is as often made of glass as it is metal.

>>28974104
The whole "I thought Luvdisc evolved into Alomomola when I was a kid" is a meme.

Some guy with a trip code said it a couple of years ago, and now whenever he posts or when we have threads like this, someone will mention it.

>>28973382
I thought Rock was immune to Electric because every rock type except the fossils was also part ground in gen 1

Rock is inmune to electric. Took me until gen 4 and not being inmune to it with my Regirock from gen3

Grass resists Fighting.

STAB was introduced in Gen IV.

>>28975004
Thanks to God you broke with him, what a retard.

I believed Hitmonchan was better than Hitmonlee in Gen 1 because it got the elemental punches. I also thought physical sounding attacks like punches and bites and stuff would use the attack stat, while anything else like Sludge Bomb or Shadow Ball were special in gens before gen 4.

>>28973382
I used to think Golduck was Water/Psychic.

Horsea evolved into Seadra or Kingdra.

I used to think Dark type was more about literal darkness, the moon etc. rather than "evil" dark

Dude, me too! How is Jirachi the Steel/Psychic and Deoxys the pure Psychic?!

>>28981849
Jirachi has features that look metallic, Deoxys really doesn't.

It was only recently I figured out that grass resists ground

>>28981893

>>28973382
I thought manaphy and phione were both legendaries, so I traded my manaphy for a phione like a dumbass.

>>28981952
Deoxys looks like plastic compared to Jirachi. Jirachi even has a light gray color palette to justify the typing.

Mew was under that truck.

>>28973382
In elementary we believed that putting Mew, Mewtwo and all Unowns in a box would create the Pokemon god. We did not know how to get Mew except for that one boy who had a cheating device and when it didn't work we thought that you needed to catch a legit Mew. We all knew that you could get one from those tours but oh well, it would have taken 5 hours to get there from where we all lived so no parent would take us there.

Gen 1 made me believe Ice was super effective against Bug.

>>28984314

>>28973778

>>28973382

Bugs also hibernate in the winter and everyone knows rest restores you to full health jackass

>>28986385
One time, when I lived in an old house, I woke up in the middle of the night and my window frame was fucking moving. And that's how found out that ladybugs survive the winter by burying into wood and swarming there in groups of hundreds, if not thousands.

Meowth was exclusive to red or blue wasn't it?

I thought special attack/defence stats were for moves that are super effective


and thus never bothered to get good sp.atk/def stats

Always called him Ursarang not ursaring

For a time i thought the green spots were Goomy's eyes, and the black dots its nostrils. Sliggoo and Goodra have green eyes as well, so it made sense before I saw it in action in the anime. I still think it would be cuter with the green spots as its eyes, all big and wide. Way more adorable that way.

I thought Fearow was one of the Legendary Birds.
My first game was Stadium and I got it from a friend.

>>28989685
I thought Aerodactyl was a legendary "bird" and Dragonite was some kind of master of the four

I used to think suicune was an Ice type

>>28978069
according to the tcg, anime, manga, and mystery dungeon it's a mouth.
it probably just sticks out oddly.

Used to believe ground/rock where the same

>>28992063
>>70 hours straight
That took some balls in the era of AA batteries

That Throh and Sawk weren't based on the red and blue oni of Japanese folklore

Schuckle evolved into heracross

The only types were the tcg types

Latios and Latias both evolved into lugia

Politoed and slowking were in Pokemon snap

Milotic evolved into deoxys

I wouldn't be on a Pokemon board at 22 years old
