I wasn't a kid, but I got into Pokemon later in life, after HGSS came out. So I knew vaguely about the Pokemon following feature. So in White version, I hit release on my Snivy because I thought it would follow me like HGSS...

I was 13 when DP came out. I'd consider that a kid.

My younger sister wanted to play once, so I let walk around tall grass in fire red. Of course I saved beforehand, thinking she would do something stupid.

Traded a pikachu back and forth 10 times with my friend's gameboy and then tried to use either a fire or water stone on it because some magazine said it had a secret evolution.

I found the magazine over the summer at a different friends house. It wasn't until years later that I realized the issue was from April of that year. It was their annual April Fool's bullshit.

I used to think that all the NPCs were other players around the world and I was just really good.

Best part was I'm pretty sure I slogged through catching at least one of the box legendaries in a normal ball before this, and didn't think to use the master ball on one of the roaming legendaries. I still don't remember why I did this, just the disappointment I felt afterwards.

>>29623385

I was very much the kind of kid who would get really stupid things stuck in his head and believe them even if I made them up myself, because it's something that would make sense to me.

In Red version, I used to go to the Northern part of Route 10 and use cut on the grass till it was just one square. I believed it would increase the encounter rate for the area because all the wild Pokemon would be trapped in a single square of tall grass. And then I'ld go in and proceed to run into Voltorb over and over again and use Sword Dance before killing them with my Kabutops. I used to think that Sword Dance stacked outside of individual battles, so in doing so I was buffing the shit out of my Pokemon for later use.

I thought the cost of taking a Pokemon out of the daycare was based on its total level, and that I didn't have enough money to get it back. I don't even remember how much money I had, but in hindsight I am positive it would have been enough to get it back even if my image of the daycare was true. I also don't remember why I didn't grind against trainers for money.

As long as people keep making "the daycare is holding your Pokemon hostage" jokes, I will never escape this. I just wanted Gyarados back.

I never put Grimer/Muk in my team - i thought everybody is afraid of them and their smell will make other mons loose. I was putting Muk only with Gengar and other mons like that.


Actually it's a fun mechanics if you think of it. Kind of reminds me Heroes of Might and Magic 3 where Angels and Demons would loose some "moral points" if you put them in the same team because they hate each other.

I had at least the sense to kind of let Aggron become my hidden ace I only use when needeed so it wasn't actually that overleveled when I reached the Elite 5

I wasn't reallly aware of how trade evolution worked, so first I got a Machoke to lv99, then I searched online and though that Link Cable was some very rare item. Searching for it I accidentaly found Pacificdlog (somehow I had never managed to go there) and Sky Pillar, where I faced Rayquaza. It was a bitch to catch, I used the Masterball on Groudon or something

>>29625849
I had an hour long discussion with a guy who works for a Gamestop about how evolution doesn't effect shiny Pokemon, because he swore up and down that it did as a fucking adult. I didn't even want to have the discussion, he started it and I couldn't pull out because he was so against the idea of my being right about how his friends shiny Pokemon stopped being shiny when it evolved or some stupid shit.

Maybe it was a Psyduck or something. I had a shiny Psyduck once and when it evolved I learned that shiny Golduck is very nearly the same shade of fucking blue as regular Golduck.

>>29624907
Got Blue right after it came out, I was 14ish, so 32 now.
My Charizard was pretty much the same way because some guy in-game said something like "Pokemon who have moves of their type are stronger!" which I didn't understand was because of poorly explained/translated STAB.

To be fair, it was also my first RPG.

On one hand, it's silly looking back, on the other hand, that book wasn't clear in the very least.

I used a masterball on an Absol. I was convinced it was a legend or something from its rarity I guess. Years later and Absol is still one of my favorites.

>>29626582
Now I want to know where his starter went.

>>29626557
It was a Teddiursa. I know, because he was very specific about it. He swore up and down that his friend had caught a shiny Teddiursa and showed it to him and then later on, when it evolved, he showed him the same Teddiursa and it wasn't shiny anymore and he told him that shiny Pokemon stop being shiny when they evolve. Both these motherfuckers were adults, I am not shitting you here. Me too. and I'm sitting there trying to tell this guy, because we're also kind of friends and I know the guy who he's talking about way better than I know him that the guy with the shiny is a fucking liar or he's just straight up wrong, and this motherfucker is swearing to me up and down that I don't know shit.

>>29626794
>>29626557
I think he CLAIMED the same thing had happened with a Ponyta at one point, too. But the more I thought about it, the more I've become convinced that maybe he just doesn't know shit about shiny Pokemon.

Also, my girlfriend, for years claimed non shiny Pokemon could appear with the shiny twinkles and just be regular colored Pokemon who made shiny sparks and I had to tell her that's super untrue. She refused to believe me until she finally got fed up with the argument last god damn month and looked it up on google, and zero info came back about non shiny Pokemon with shiny twinkles.

>>29623385
I thought the faster you mashed the A button, the more likely it was for a Pokemon to be caught in a Pokeball. I really wonder what made me think that, especially since other fans I know came up with similar things (like mashing b or holding a combination of buttons).

>>29623429
I did this with a sneasel. Didn't realise that you were only given 1 masterball and didn't know that it was 100% catch rate, just that it was better than ultra

I also used the Masterball on Moltres.

>>29624187

I don't think my Charizard knew all fire moves, but I think what it did know was shitty. Fire Spin and Cut come to mind, probably Fire Blast too.

That sounds like me.

I remember trying to catch both Minun and Plusle on my copy of Pokemon Sapphire- with a 2% encounter rate for Minun and a 15% encounter rate for Plusle. The problem is, I was absolutely convinced that if I encountered a Plusle, it'd be extremely hard to find a Minun, and vice versa, or something along those lines- which amounted to hours upon hours of resetting the game over and over and over.

>>29625570
I remember one memorable childhood Sapphire run (siblings kept deleting my save files) where I ended up, instead of leveling up only my starter, only leveling up a fucking taillow/swellow.

I also remember having a bit of difficulty on Winona in that run.

Your girlfriend is actually kinda right, man. Loads of shinies have really subtle differences between the normal and shiny colors, which means that they can easily be mistaken for "non shinies with shiny sparkles".

The example that I can most easily come up with off the top of my head is Glaceon, but that's because I have first-hand experience with evolving a silvery, shiny Eevee into a Glaceon that... doesn't look much different than normal Glaceon until you realize that Glaceon are supposed to be a bit darker blue.

Pic related, by the way, is shiny Glaceon.

10/11yr old me trained a feebas to lv 97 before realizing something wasn't right, cause it never evolved.
I even taught it water pulse and ran through the league with it solo.

Oh and also, don't forget how autistic you had to be in order to even find a feebas in the first place in RSE.

Well now I do too, but through the eyes of a kid the idea of having a super powerful pokemon that you have to beat a dungeon to get in your team is pretty appealing

Same here.
I always stormed the league with a lvl 60 or something Starter while everyone else only knew one or two HMs and were sacrificed to use Revive on the Starter.

I was stuck on the Tower for a long while, then I found the PokeDoll item on the Mart. Thought it was the correct way of getting past the Ghost because hey, it worked. The level spike was kinda weird but my overleveled Blastoise had no real issues defeating everyone inside.

I tried that one and after seeing the status screen not changing between battles I dissed stats moves as useless(considering I mostly played in-game that wasnt as bad), they never say the stats only stack within the battle, so I´m glad SM indicates that so kids won´t make the same mistake again.

Attention.

Some kids still lie like that nowadays. There's a group of elementary school kids in my town who swear up and down that there's going to be a Mega Victini in Sun and Moon. Their source is "some website."

I used to hold my breath and look away whenever I was trying to catch a Pokemon and the Pokeball was shaking.

It took me forever to get through Mt. Moon the first time. I forgot to save and cried about it.

I tried to evolve Slowpoke by surfing on it in Shellder-infested waters.

Oh man this is literally me. I was stuck in Mauville for like an entire fucking year until I read about Rock Smash. I remember the feeling of crossing that rock barrier and exploring the rest of the game, specially since that's pretty much the point where the game starts getting really good.

In hindsight it seems like an incredibly retarded design choice; to give this literal who such an important item without making sure that the player knows about it, I guess they were counting on kids exploring the city but come on, you don't do that with an item that is essential for the progression of the game.

>>29624771
Man, I still do that shit, but only because I often play on emulator at 1.5-2x speed and it often registers two button presses, cycling me back to the first question.

I'm always too stubborn to reduce the speed for this kind of thing even though it's literally one button press on my PSP.

>>29623499
Anon, the majority of posters on this board are Sinnohfoeti. Why do you think HGSS and Pt are put on such a pedestal?

I used to think it was impossible to catch a legendary pokémon with any ball besides the masterball and you had to choose the one you wanted most.
Caught Zapdos, killed everything else. Mewtwo, everything.

When I actually got a DS and both Diamond and Pearl for Christmas, I played through both versions, but got stuck at the water gym-leader on both. So I reset both of them. I also got SoulSilver for Christmas, but I didn't want to play it because I didn't recognize "the new pokémon" on the first route.

PokeGods were one of the bigger myths about Gen 1, like the Mew Truck.

Nidogod/dess, Locustud, and Beepin.

ooooh.... ok, I got it. I was pretty isolated as a kid, so I didn't hear anything like that. Except, of course, the mew truck.

>>29631366
I did the exact same thing but with ruby. This guy also agreed to lend me the game for just one day, so I had to squeeze as much playtime as possible in just that one day without saing once

>>29625854
Listen here you little cunt

>>29630917
Fuck, are you me? I spent my master ball in Pokemon Gold on Psyduck because I was convinced I would get a super powerful dank Golduck that I could use to defeat my next door neighbour.

Ended up teaching it Surf and Strength, oh well

>>29625101
Where do you live that kids start school that late?

>>29623429
graveler, didn't find it a big deal. then couldn't use it anymore for unlimited master ball glitch

>>29632680

This is essentially how it works in the first two gens, fwiw

I put my starter in the daycare which caused me to lose to all the trainers which caused me to lose all my money until i couldn't get my starter back. I also remember killing a shiny machoke because i thought it was ugly.

Everyone knows you have to tilt your head in time with the Pokéball shakes and make promises to feed the Pokémon berries and love them and let them visit where you caught them from time to time that you end up never living up to and just boxing them!

I was a really dumb kid, when they asked me "where I was going" to name my town in animal crossing wild world I put "????" because I didn't know

For some reason I thought leer was a damaging move because it's old animation looked like laser beam eyes.

Also was my first game I didn't know you can save, so I left my gb on all day until batteries died. I tried to finnish the game before that happened.

My female cousins and I used to play a game where we'd pretend to be pokémon and one of us would throw oranges to capture the rest. We were fucking dumb.

He said the same thing everytime he came to us. After a while we moved out and to this day,haven't gotten the game back. We bought a new one but still, that was annoying as fuck.

Not dumb or a kid, but when X and Y came out I'd leave two Pokémon in the daycare then fly to lumiose and go to the circular area in the center of the city and then I'd leave my AP Chem book on the D-Pad so Calem would ride his bike in circles around lumiose all day. Pokemon would go from level 1 to like 83

>>29624980
That's not how mortality works.

Just remembered one. Borrowed a friend's copy of Blue so I could trade the exclusives over to my Red. He'd apparently been stuck in Mt Moon for days of playtime. His character was called BEN, his level 60+ Blastoise was called BEN, his Pidgey was called BEN, every single Pokemon he'd caught was BEN. Got him to Cerulean, ran into the rival. I don't need to tell you what he called him.
He did the same thing in Digimon World aswell, just BEN everywhere.

>>29638298
i gotta know
was his name ben?

>had a hitmonchan with all the elemental punches in gen 1 and used it all the way to the E4
>taught shadow ball to my Alakazam in gold because I didn't know Ghost was physical back then
I knew about STAB though and thought that was the reason why psychic was so much stronger.

I also tried to multiply my Machoke in Gold and gave it the masterball to hold only for it to be deleted instead. I was pretty mad 2bh

>>29638318
I really want to say no, but yeah it was.

>>29638515
damn.

>>29638554
If there ever is another gen 1 remake, I'll name everyone BEN, just for him
