when i first got emerald when i was 10 i thought sceptile was part poison so i chose swampert and got a gardevoir until i used psychic on my rivals scepitile and it was neutral. i was so confused but i kept playing and that file was my best since i found a shiny ditto shuppet and gulpin caught groudon in a pokeball on first try
and found feebas on first try without knowing where to get it
luckiest game file ever

Oh gods how many there were….
The pressing Down+B or Up+B I pretty much followed all the way till Gen 3, though after RBGY I knew it wouldn’t really work.
At one point I used to believe in Mewthree and other ‘Pokegods’. And I thought that you could activate glitch city and then enter a new area called ‘Cloud Nine’ where you would find them :/
I also though Ditto could evolve.

In reply to me.

I can understand that.
To me it’s:
Raiku – Tiger
Entei – Lion
Suicune – Cheetah
That is but one of many perceptions, though. ^^

Like others I started out in the old school days of Red/Blue and a 6 year old is surely going to have misconceptions ha

The one i remember most has to be the Mew under the truck thing. Infamous now as people who started in other generations heard about this one,

It was believed if you got surf before the SS.Anne departed, You could then surrf to the right of the entrance where you’d find a truck (truck was there in fairness) and if you used strength on it i think? a Mew would battle you

Good times 😀

i remember hearing that in FR/LG if you beat the elite four 20 times mew would appear in cerulean cave on the spot where mewtwo was

In reply to Daedardus. Ah yes, forgot about that- it seemed ridiculous back then, common practice now XD. And to think all you really needed to do was catch a wigglytuff, reach ceruleon city, catch an abra and teleport XD

Before i knew the egg groups, i thought Pikachu and Clefairy can not breed and ONLY pokemon of the same species can. Also, genderless Pokemon like Magnemite and Rotom (this is new to me, actually) can not breed too.

I dont have anyone to trade before, so i thought, like in the Anime, Poliwhirl would evolve to Politoed if i let him hold the King’s Rock while leveling up.

There’s a lot more that i can’t remember. 😛

I too thought that in Ruby/Sapphire that i could ride the spaceship after 100 launches…

I remember thinking that fire was really strong against flying type pokemon because they would cook :3 then in G/S/C I discovered this to be a lie thanks to Falkner…

I also thought that the Dark type was introduced in Gen 3 after seeing a poochyena on a pokemon card :’D so to me umbreon was a psychic type….
