You know when you're bad at Pokemon when...

[Vulpicks]

When in G/S/C you think you must report ????? (Rival) to the cop as ?????

 

[darkgamerGS]

You fail to obtain Pikachu in Yellow version
You lose against the Poochyena (Or Zigzagoon, depending on the version) chasing Professor Birch in R/S/E
You waste your Master Ball on a level 3 burned Caterpie with a sliver of health left
You fail to catch that Caterpie with the Master Ball (There's actually a screen of someone catching a nearly-dead level 40 burned Loudred in the Emerald guide on page 114)
Every Pokemon Teleports from you, or uses a suicide move like Selfdesctruct... and you have a Pokemon preventing them from running out and the Pokemon you're trying to catch isn't even supposed to know the move ("OMG, RATATTA!" *Rattata uses Selfdestruct* "Oh, darn...")
You hatch a Pokemon egg and it turns out to be rotten
All your Pokemon faint... at the title screen
The Pokemon Center offers a price to heal your Pokemon... 100 yen more than you have, everytime
You try to go up Cycling Road on a bike and the guard doesn't let you
You Surf on a Pokemon and then it knocks you off and swims away
You trade a Pokemon, and the Pokemon the other trainer trades comes out of its ball, looks at you, screams, then goes back to its original owner
You tell your Pokemon to use Cut... and it turns emo on you and Cuts itself

That's all I could come up with for now

When you have this Pikachu

Nature-Adamant
Item: Magnet
-Thundershock
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder
-Thunderwave

 

[trapezechimpanz]

When you think shinies are a glitch in the game. I was the first was to say it!
EDIT: Strike that, when you don't evolve your pokemon because they look ugly when they do.

I said it first! Can't you read!

Anyways...
When you try to evolve pokemon that can't evolve (yet or just dont)
When you go hunting for a pokemon out of its generation (such as searching for a munchlax when in Leaf Green and Fire Red)

When in G/S/C you think you must report ????? (Rival) to the cop as ?????

I did that multiple times till i went ohhhhhh I can name him Mr. Pie
When youtry to evolve Arbok for Seviper

 

[Flame Haze SnS]

You think Geodude's name is Graveler.

 

[Meowth! That's right!]

When in G/S/C you think you must report ????? (Rival) to the cop as ?????

Guilty!

 

[Flame Haze SnS]

You think Sudowoodo's a grass type.

 

[Grasswhistler]

Even when I was a little kid I was smart enough to replace moves with stronger versions of the same type. If my Pikachu wanted to learn thunderbolt, I would delete thundershock, because even as a little kid I knew that there would never be a reason to have a weaker version of the same attack.

Actually, Thunderbolt > Thunder, Flamethrower > Fire Blast, Surf > Hydro Pump, ect., in most cases.

My cousin actually did that when he had Silver. XD

 

[thundermouse]

When you think you can beat the battle tower with just one "really strong pokemon". By the way, i am guilty. proved you cant beat the whole game with just one overated starter.

 

[Anjoola]

When you start crying after the flight attendant tells you to turn of the Gameboy [pokemon red] when you beat the e4.

 

[Big Beard]

when you never use a thunder stone on Pikachu. "Pikachu is stronger, didn't you see the anime?"

 

[ChaosAngel]

When you released your strongest pokemon and fail at catching Magikarp with a pokeball.

 

[Polursine]

You evolve Pokemon as soon as possible with Elemental Stones.

You try lots of the crappy cheats (evolving unevolvable Pokemon, getting rare Pokemon easier) that are posted all over the internet.

You have a team of Baby Pokemon that only use 'cute' attacks, nothing that will 'hurt' them

 

[Eeveeboy_geoff]

-When you enter a competative battle with Ash's team of Pokemon because you think they're the strongest.
-When you think status-effecting moves suck and you replace them all with Hyper Beam.
-When you think stat-bossting moves suck and you replace them all with Hyper Beam.
-When Professor Oak takes a look at you and doesn't bother stopping you from entering the long grass.
-When you consider the Elite Four's Pokemon to be the strongest possible, and copy their movesets.
-When you incorrectly use a masterball. (Details in above ^ posts)
-When you arrive at the Elite Four with a level 70 Typhlosion named Binky, a lv. 10 Rattata, and a lv. 24 Pidgeot.

 

[Polursine]

-When Professor Oak takes a look at you and doesn't bother stopping you from entering the long grass.

Lol. That's mean! XDDD


- You spend lots of money on buying Eevee's, just for the hell of it.

 

[sbs3661z]

When you try to soft reset for a feamale tauros.

 

[black rayquaza]
