When I was younger, I cried when the Day Care people let my Skitty forget a move, not realizing that I could've just caught a Luvdisc and retaught it.

Stupid things that you thought/did with pokemon as a kid
- Thread starter Ferrari94
- Start date
I thought you needed to evolve your pokémon ASAP so they will be the strongest. But some pokémon (stone evolvers) don't learn any moves after evolving, so that made the game quite challenging with just TMs.
...This isn't true right? I'm actually still not really sure. XD

lol I did both of those things....
I used to think beaming moves were the best moves because of Dragon Ball Z and the Kamehameha....
Of course I thought that Lugia was the most powerful pokemon and that Aeroblast could beat everything...XD

Admitely that would make sense, and probally be the case if they didn't want to show off that the game could tell time.

Believing that Oak had a garden of starters and he would let you in it after doing something back in R/B. (I forget what the rumored task was ). That Mewtwo had a sister that you can catch after you save your mom from something.

Sometimes I miss the days where rumors like this were common.

I use to think that Ghosts type moves had no effect on Psychic type pokemon. I never knew why but when I had fire-red and leaf-green I would never use ghost types against Sabrina lol
Here are a few of mine:
1. I thought that a female Hippowdon was shiny, so I caught one with some difficulty (damn Sand Stream)
2. Catching all the Unown patterns would unlock some super Unown with great powers
3. Lucario was a Legendary
4. When you become Champion, you would stay in the League forever
5. The faster you mash A button, the better your chances are of catching a Pokemon\
6. You always had to pick your version's mascot (Blue was Squirtle, Red was Charizard)

I thought Lucario was a legendary too, because it appeared in a movie.
1) I was convinced of the fact that Tauros had an evolution.
2) when you got hit or attacked, pushing the right or left arrow increased your damage, or decreased the damage taken.
3) I had never heard of shinies, so the chances I encoutered some and just pressed "Run" are quite high.

I actually did the same thing with my cat once when I was like 5.
Took a week for the scars to heal.
Swore there was a way to get into the Pokemon Daycares and talk to the Pokemon who were chilling out (and possibly collect the toys/beach balls that were around).
Also thought that Master Balls were plentiful after receiving the first one since there was more than one legendary (sounded reasonable to me) lol.
Would go to the Lottery daily thinking that the numbers depended on my Pokemon's Pokedex # not their OT... (my chances would go up if I nicknamed them). Good times lol.

You used to be able to get into the Daycare itself in G/S/C (I don't remember if you can in HG/SS) and you could actually talk to your Pokemon and stuff. That would be a good thing to reintroduce in my opinion.
I vividly remember getting Pokemon Red version one Christmas in the mid/late 90s. I spent the rest of the holiday break exploring the second floor, then the first, etc. of the player's house. TV: "Four boys are walking on railroad tracks... better get going!" I thought there was a secret message, but I never could find the tracks nor the "Front Door" to leave the house, just some floor rug that I ignored. I chose Squirtle as my starter, back when moves were called Techniques. I pronounced the word Tech-nee-cues.
Threw the Master Ball at gym leader Giovanni's Persian, also in Red gen 1. I think I caused Mewtwo to faint.
More recently, in Pokemon Black, my Ninetales used Will-o-wisp to burn Cobalion. Then he "fainted" as my attempts to catch him were unsuccessful and he kept losing HP. It turns out he runs away (this is seen with the sprite in the regular game view) up the walls of the cave. An old man came up to me and said that Cobalion might be found again, somewhere else, at a later time.

But... Why? I mean... Poor little rabbit. I do remenber calling my dog Houndoom and commanding him to use Bite. I was 12, though xD
I don't remember it past S/R/E since that was my first playthrough, that sounds really awesome though, I'd like to know my Pokemon's personal thoughts/opinions lol.
Only reason I could think of is if you played G/S/C and fought a Girafarig. Since it's part normal type, you could have used a ghost type move and found it to not effect him, thinking it was due to his psychic typing.

I used to think you had to keep your starter pokemon with you forever.
I played R/B/Y when D/P had just come out (I found them at a flea market). I read the truck SS.Anne story on a glitch website and despite the website clearly saying it was FALSE I still tried to do it >.<
I also didn't know about shiny pokemon until HG/SS so I probably ran into one during D/P or G/S/C and never realised it T.T
Oh, and I glitched up my pokemon black when I got an action replay. I decided I'd use it once I finished the game. I kind of wish I didn't, as I ran into people I had no clue what they were saying (If I'd have played the game normally it would have made perfect sense T.T)
