With that mark in the middle of its forehead and wielding a spoon like a wand, I thought Kadabra was supposed to be the Harry Potter Pokemon . . .

That is GREAT! lollol. Having a team of almost all legendaries in Pearl:
Giritina, Heatran, Palkia, Infernape, Reggigigas, and Crobat. What a disaster!

Well, I always thought you can get Pikachu in Viridian Forest in Yellow, so, I was walking around the forest, looking for that Pikachu... Yeah, then I looked at my PokéDex, seeing I had the only one.
At least my Pikachu was lvl 21 when i left the forest.

Tapping A while throwing a pokeball because I thought it helped. Still do it to this day
Thinking you could only have 6 Pokemon in the whole game, so I had a starter Mudkip, a Poocheya, a Shroomish, until i discovered the PC

I used to think that dugtrio evolved into onix and that ditto evolved into grimer, thought that I could evolve any pokemon with evolution stones, and last but not least, I thought bulbasaur was the same thing as ivysaur.

Hmm... I have this weird memory. My friend and I used to play pokemon, generation I, back in elementary school. He told me that if you get behind the gym leader in Cerulean City, you can get an evolution of chansey.

Turned out in Generation II, that evolution came out.

Or maybe my faint childhood memory was just a prophetic dream of the blissey that would one day be. (^_^)

I used to pronounce, "suicune" and "su-canine" (x_x), back when generation II came out.

I held in/repeatedly pressed A/B/etc. when I threw a PokeBall. Me and everyone else I knew were convinced that it would give us a better chance at catching any Pokemon in any Pokeball.

never really made a mistake with pokemon, i mean as a kid when i first got red version took me forever to navigate victory road but that's a little understandble. worst i have seen is my next door neighbor used his masterball on a magmar in pokemon blue/red.

Female Hippowdon was shiny o.o - heheh.....movin on...
That in stadium if you picked ur pokemon out faster than CPU could you got to move first in the battle -_- And in XD when the screen turned red because a pokemon was poisoned I thought my game was screwed up..... OH YEAH! Time for my biggest kid moment ever!
Deleting my save file because I thought a shiny Rayquaza was a glitched pokemon that would ruin my game in Ruby T-T God will never be kind enough to reset that moment :D
Oh yeah! lol moment i forgot... I pronounced Poochyana VERY inappropriately when i was little and mom would go: It's a what?!?! (pooch-ina) my bad O.O

I had no concept of the PC system, and so I couldn't switch my party pokemon for a while. I kept thinking that it wasn't nice to access someone else's computer...

Here's one I thought of last night.

I remember fighting against Blue in FireRed at the Elite Four. When he sent out his Alakazam I wondered how he managed to evolve his Kadabra because he had no friends to trade with.

Then I realised he must have forced a kid to trade with him and then trade back.

When I owned my first game-Pokemon Silver my friend told me you could get a shiny Lugia easy by waiting in front of the sprout tower for 3 hours then using fly.

Good thing I never got around to trying it but as a young kid I thought it was true.
