I thought for an hour or two and came up with this really long list. Oops. I'm sorry to whoever decides to read all of it.
- When I had first gotten into Pokemon and hadn't seen the first movie yet, I thought Mew evolved into Mewtwo.
- Before getting to play the games, I misspelled and misheard some Pokemon names. Spelled Treecko as Treeko, thought Torchic was called Torchie, etc. (Ugh, I just looked at an old Neopets account I can't get into anymore and read "i love plosa and minum!" I can't believe I called Plusle and Minun that.)
- Before even hearing about the Lucario movie, I thought Lucario was what Arceus is.
- I saw a lot of posts on here mentioning not knowing Slowbro doesn't evolve into Slowking. I just recently looked through my boxes in HG/SS and found a Slowbro holding a King's Rock. Looks like I didn't know either!
- I used to think physical attacks were what didn't hit Ghost types.
- All the shinies I found myself in the past got dumb names because I was too excited to think carefully. When I found a Shiny Numel in Alpha Sapphire, I gave it a better name than those others.
- All of the early Pokemon I caught were given names in all capital letters.
- For a while I didn't know about checking if the Pokemon is a special attacker or a physical attacker before choosing moves.
- My first level 100 ended up being Charap the Chatot and for some reason I thought she was a lot stronger than she really is just because of that level.
- When I found a shiny Magikarp in Soul Silver, I got so excited that I shook the DS Lite until it froze and therefore I didn't catch it. My DS doesn't read games well sometimes if it gets bumped, etc.
- I used to believe there such a thing as Minulse and it could be obtained in Ruby and Sapphire. I don't remember what exactly the rumor I read said.
- I used to believe that in Gen 1 you could get Mew from beating the Elite Four a certain number of times. I'm pretty sure I read it on Wikipedia. o.o Someone troll edited! This was also when I did not own any Gen 1 game or even Firered/Leafgreeen, so I couldn't even try it myself.
- I used to think Pokemon Ranger could send a Manaphy to Emerald. I didn't even own either game when I heard this rumor.
- When I restarted a used Sapphire game so I could see how the story goes, I failed to find the Masterball on my first playthrough.
- When I first found a Flaaffy in Diamond, I thought it was shiny because it seemed like a too dark shade of pink. I don't think it took very long for me to realize I was wrong
- When I first saw a picture of Bouffalant, I thought it evolved from Tauros.
- When I first saw a picture of Alomomola, I thought it evolved from Luvdisc.
- When I first saw a picture of Minccino, I swear the official artwork was white... I was confused about it being grey in the final game and for a while I thought there might be a way to get a white one but I soon forgot all about it. To this day I cannot find that original artwork of Minccino that was white instead of grey and it's making me think I'm crazy.
- I heard a rumor that naming a Pokemon after another Pokemon would make it evolve into that. Now that I think about it, I was also told it was on early game copies only. I actually believed this and I can't remember who even said it.
- I thought I could get a Jirachi if I held down select while running in the grass around the snowy parts of Mt. Coronet. This is because I saw it in a video that didn't even mention they were cheating. What a mean trick!
- I used to believe Celebi and Gen 3's Missingno. could randomly be found in Ruby and Sapphire by an unknown glitch.
- I thought getting a bunch of Pokemon to level 100 with rare candies in Emerald was a good idea. It's not since they weren't getting EV training this way.
- I thought rapidly pressing the A button increased the chances of catching a Pokemon.
- I thought if I said "Gotcha" in the DS's Microphone, you would catch the Pokemon.
- I thought if I said "Dodge" in the microphone, the attack would miss.
- I thought telling a certain person at Jubilife TV a secret code would get me the 3 event items. Actually, this is how to get the Mystery Gift option on the menu.
- For a while, I had no idea how One-Hit KO moves worked. The description in the game didn't say anything about Pokemon levels effecting it.
