After spending 16 hours EV training, I accidentally released my Milotic that I transferred from my first Sapphire playthrough. Luckily, I remembered that the game doesn't save automatically, so I shut off the game almost immediately.

Restarting my Sapphire when it had my first ever shiny, a Magikarp. I was 8 at the time, and I still regret it.

Restarting my first ever team in Pokemon Gold, because I was told they had Pokerus and places like the Soul House made me think they were going to die :/ Typhlosion, Pikachu, Poliwhirl, Machamp, Togetic, Dragonite... I'll miss you guys.

is that even possible? lol ouch! My biggest mistake was trying to 1HKO a T-tar useing my :579: to Focus Blast him. >.< 3 misses in a row, and he finally took me out. Focus Blast has got to be the worst move ever, it literally misses 4/5 times I use it!

Sometimes it's good, however other times it can be a bit of a b**tard. I love Reuinclus :D

And also wasting a load of good TM's on my Leafgreen, i.e. I got over excited that I had a Slowking, and I used my TM Psychic on it -.-

Running into my first shiny, a Buneary, and realized i didn't have any pokeballs....

Doing a new game in Pokemon Black (on 3rd gym leader) and realize you have to save. And then realizing you have to delete your old file in order to save >_>; (I don't get why we have to do that).
