Stupid things you thought about Pokémon.

Stupid things you thought about Pokémon.

List them here!

  • When the old games said "(Pokémon)'s (Stat) Rose!" I used to think it was on about the flower.
  • When I first saw Jublife City's name, I thought it said "Junglelife"

FFFFFFFFF-
I thought PBR would be worth buying. (Ba-dum bum chuh!)

When I first got Blue (a few days after it came out, no less), I was only like three, so I didn't know how to exit buildings.

I still somehow beat the game once I got out. Silph Co. is a ***** when you're little though.
 

Hive Mind

Is not a GIRL
I had the whole Pokedex almost finished, excepting Shedinja, and I now have a Lv. 100 Nincada because I didn't know how to evolve it.
I was so angry when my Marill wouldn't breed me an Azurill.
 

Ice_Scyther

FFFFFFFFF-
I used my Master Ball on Lance's Dragonite.

Hey, he did say it would catch any Pokemon.

I thought that you couldn't stop evolution, so on Red or Blue (I forget...), I yelled at the screen about how they couldn't have a level 22 Ratatta.

Oh, and threw the Master Ball at a Graveler.

-F.S. out

When I first played Emerald, I didn't use the masterball on any pokemon because I thought it was too valuable to use.

Then I discovered cloning and the rest is history.

When we were little me and my sister couldn't figure out why my eevee on Gold version wouldn't evolve into Umbreon by using a moon stone.
 

Cutty

Forever now
I didnt know lvl 22 Geodude could selfdestruct itself.

a long time ago I thought farfetche'd evolved into doduo

I thought that aswell

on yellow my kadabra and machoke were my strongest pokemon because I kept on leveling them becuase I didn't know about evolving through trade (made worse by the fact machamp used to be my favoutate since becuase I was on yellow I never saw any magmar)
 
I used to think Hearthome City was Heart Home ^^
Also, my cousin told be that tapping the a button would stop a confused pokemon hurting itself. I think thats quite a common one though.
 

Dark Arceus

Worst. Name. Ever.
I thought Pinsir evolved into Heracross for a while after G/S/C came out. It took A LOT to persuade me it didn't.

When I thought Pikachu was called "Pihachew" when I first played Super Smash Bros., and I thought Gengar looks like the cat bus from My Neighbor, Totoro.

I believed a tonne of fake cheats, like the 'Hold B and you'll be damaged less' and 'Up+A makes a pokéball act like a Master Ball.' Sadly, I still have a habit of doing them now, old habits die hard I guess.

oh wow I think the stupidest would be when I thought that Unknown was a legendary. I also used my master ball on Magikarp but it was on purpose as a joke and I turned the game off. Also thinking Missingno was a special mystery pokemon nobody had ever seen. (found it before I used the computer much.)

I thought SlowKing was an evolution of SlowBro like: Slowpoke < SlowBro < SlowKing
