A single misplaced step
In Emerald I used to keep restarting my game because I couldn't pass the footprint guy. I didn't realize that you had to battle your Rival first.
I watched this youtube video that showed how to get event Pokemon and I tried to get them because I didn't realise that they were EVENT pokemon.
Also for some reason I once really wanted to catch a Corsola, but I used up all my Pokeballs, so I threw my Master Ball at it.

I thought sticking a string into my pokemon ruby and my brother's sapphire would be an alternative to a Game Link cable.

I assumed I could breed Latias and Latios because they were gendered. Also, I trusted what is, in hindsight, clearly fake rumors

When I first played Silver I used to think that the sun stone could make eevee evolve into an Espeon and a moon stone would make eevee evole into Umbreon. Couldn't have been anymore wrong.

Oh I did lots of dumb things when I was young and into Pokemon..I used to play the TCG completely wrong with my friends, so we all had fun regardless...I used to believe in all the PokeGods and Pikablu...I used to believe if you pushed the truck you'd find Mew..All the old rumors basically..XD The one dumb thing I can remember doing though the most is when me and my friends would name our Pokemon after eachother. I had a shiny Noctowl named after my middle school girlfriend, Lori. Kinda wish my Silver cart still worked..Woulda been nice to have that Noctowl..

When I started Pokemon Diamond, I got lost on the second route. ...Hence why I had an Infernape by the first gym. Movepool was and still is Flame Wheel/Ember/Rock Smash/Mach Punch.

Oh boy, where to begin?
I used a Master Ball on a Pidgey, I foolishly went to battle Brock with only my starter again and again instead of actually catching something good, I caught ever single Pokemon including duplicates, and I also always lost to Gary because I sucked horribly and didn't use items.

When I was a kid and played Pokemon Silver for the first time I got stuck on that boulder puzzle in the Cianwood gym. I felt so stupid......

I mean I guess it still counts because I'm a teen, but up until yesterday I thought Masquerain's antennae were wings, and that its actual wings were legs. Just knowing the truth makes me look at it very differently e-e

I did something similar with Hariyama. Prior to 6th gen I thought the patch of orange on it belly was its nose and that it was basically just a head with legs with the yellow tufts separating them. Its third gen sprite is probably the one that's easiest to make the mistake with.
Realizing that its head ends at the point it gets wider, and that it does actually have a separate head, torso and legs made it almost seem like a whole new Pokemon.

When I was young, I used to think Diglett/Dugtrio's noses were it's mouth..lol

some of the rumors for the anime:
Ash has long lost sister
Giovonnai is Ash's Dad
prosfessor Oak is Ash's dad
prrofessor Oak and Ash's Mom are dating
Misty releases Psyduck and as soon as she leaves it gets a massive headache and evolves.

My Pokémon were low on health, and I was towards the end of Mt Moon, and after seeing a rocket grunt, I thought I could use an Escape Rope to swing over him so I would not have to battle him. Although for some strange reason that did not happen, I was able to heal at the Pokemon Center so that solved a problem.
Wait... How? How long did that take you to do?

I spent most of Gen 5 believing that Samurott was Water/Fighting type. It wasn't until I got Black 2 that learned it was only Water type; I picked Oshawott as my starter.
