Nothing. At least nothing dumb enough for me to remember.

From Zero To Hero
Use Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, and Frenzy Plant.

On a Mr. Mime from LG, I had Sunny Day, Psychic, Solarbeam, and Thunder. -_- Tsk tsk

My first game was Ruby. In the moving van, I got scared because I thought that I was trapped. Also, thanks to the anime, I thought Water Gun was good, so I took a Swampert to the elite 4 with Muddy Water, Water Gun, Mud Slap, and Take Down.
I wasted a TM EQ on a Groudon in Emerald
I wasted a ton of TMs on a random Nidoking in Leafgreen

I was in 4th grade at the time...

On Ruby (my first ever Pokemon game) I went to the Elite four with a level 52 Sceptile and a level 50 Groudon.

I did good up until Glacia, she took down Sceptile and Groudon like nothing...
All I had left were level 20s.

Safe to say that I got f*cked hard...The worst part was I kept on saving the game after each Elite 4 member I beat...I kept on restarting the game and I kept on getting a hard raping of my team each time. Then I got Emerald. I did much better on that one...I actually trained the whole team...

So when I got Glacia on Emerald...it was she who had her team screwed....that was a "Take that!" moment for me.

Dumbest thing I did? I kept on using Kadabra in Gold, hoping it would evolve to Alakazam. By the time it reached level 63 after beating Pryce, I realized it might be close to evolving, so I kept on using it, lol.

Let's see, Well When I first got Gold when I was eight, I couldn't figure out how to leave Violet city. (Ya know, cause I didn't have space for the egg and that guy wouldn't let me leave without it.)
After that I discovered the PKMN Box... But I still didn't know how to do anything other than release my pokemon. So I figured that whenever I got a full team, I'd have to release one to catch something else.
I also thought that If you released a pokemon, you could catch it again if you looked for where it was on the pokedex, so I released my Bayleef... And Cried afterward when i couldn't get it back. T.T

I would train a team of Pokemon that were all unevolved because they were my "favorites". So now I have a lv. 100 Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Aipom, Delibird, Skitty and Growlithe. When I could of had a Blastoise, Venusaur, Ambipom, Delcatty and Arcainine.
