Doesn’t help when one of the NPCs near the start of Gold tells you that it is a good idea to put your best pokemon at the top to give you an advantage in battle…… sure most of the battles were a lot easier, but it made dealing with Chuck's Poliwrath (with only a Typhlosion at a decent level) nearly impossible.

[@Marixchatt]

@Otacon464 While needing to reproduce is certainly a qualification for life, even without it they are clearly living beings which don’t conform to our current definitions of life. Most of the legendaries can certainly reproduce but the methods are very atypical. Sub-legendary Pokémon such as Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are hinted to be capable of reproduction as more than one is available in a given universe. A Moltres egg can be seen hatching in Pokémon snap. In the anime, Legendaries such as Lugia reproduced. Even Diance can reproduce as they are created from Carbink under special circumstances. Lunala and Solgaleo are also legendaries capable of reproduction as seen in the anime or the birth and evolutions of Cosmogs in SM/USUM. Mewtwo for example, can be considered to reproduce through cloning. However, some Pokémon like the Regis, Creation trio, etc, blur the line as they are created in supernatural ways. It should be noted that they are different from Pokémon such as Type: Null or Mewtwo as they involve cellular asexual cloning which in the real world can be seen as a viable (albeit not genetically reliable) form of reproduction.

I remember getting pokemon white and only using my starter. I would never train my other pokemon because my mind just couldnt comprehend it.

Ah yes the "shift" and "set" mode. I think when I was 7 playing platinum as my first game I mucked around in the settings and ended up switching the mode to set without knowing what it did. I played platinum on essentially hard mode the whole time. It actually made boss fights much more enjoyable since you can't just switch out to a pokémon with a type advantage, one or two hit the enemy, then switch again. This is why I refuse to use shift unless I'm feeling bored (or if the battle frontier is screwing me over, haven't tried it on shift mode yet but I know that on set you get hella screwed).

One time, I had rubbed and fed my Incineroar so much, that it survived 4 hits in a round by "toughing out". Wish I could record that...

[@maxwipson147]

Biggest mistakes I can think of: Yellow: My first Pokémon game. I got to the end of the nugget bridge, but when the guy says that you should join Team Rocket, I thought I was being forced to join Team Rocket and was being punished for being greedy. I was pretty inexperienced with games at the time and I guess I thought that choosing to clear the bridge started an alternate path where you play as a Rocket grunt. I got scared and restarted the game. I hadn't saved for hours and had to play through Mt. Moon again. Ruby: This is a pretty common one, but I missed the Master Ball in the Magma base, which seals itself off afterwards. Nowadays, the cover legendaries are usually easy to catch because of where they fit in the story, but getting Groudon just with Ultra Balls felt like an accomplishment. Shield: One day, I updated my league card and found my number of shinies encountered switched from 0 to 1. Alarmed, since I didn't have any shinies at that point, I scoured my Pokedex to see what I missed. It turns out it was a Greedent, which I probably knocked out in frustration after it fell out of a berry tree. Since the shiny looks pretty similar to the regular version, and Greedent is my least favorite Galar Pokémon, it's not a great loss, but I definitely started being more careful after that.

When I was way younger, I used my starter Turtwig a lot. I used other 'mons a bit too, but I really just used my starter. Anyone can guess how well that went when I got to Candice.

However, I never got around to beating Diamond. Even though I have 250 hours clocked on it, I still didn't finish it because I got lost on Mt. Coronet.

In gen 1, I failed to find the HM Flash for many years. So, I distinctly remember learning how to walk through the dark cave east of Cerulean City by looking at the small white dots that marked the stone boundaries inside. Eventually I made my way out, and for some time this was the only way I knew how to get to the other side. It was a horrid experience, because I remember that my pokemon often ended up being poisoned during a battle inside and then every additional step I made while trying to find my way out only brought me closer to blacking out and ending up back where I began.

I made many dumb mistakes in Pokemon Silver as a kid: 1- I trained the Spearow called Kenya to level 50 thinking it was a gift, then delivered it, I didn't know what happened back then, I thought it just ran away, because Fearow was a jerk in the anime. 2- I trained Vulpix to level 100, didn't know I needed a fire stone to evolve it, I thought some pokemon just didn't want to evolve (like Ash's Pikachu). 3- I released a level 70 Pidgeot so I could catch Entei, I didn't know you could deposit your pokemon in the PC, I thought if I catch something it disappears unless I make room in my team. 4- I had my level 100 Nidoking KOed by a wild Wobbuffet, probably because I missed with Horn Drill and then it used Mimic or something, but ever since I thought Wobbuffet was a legendary pokemon (the anime confused me because Team Rocket could've given their legendary Wobbuffet to their boss). 5- I didn't understand how moves worked back then, my Nidoking had Blizzard and Horn Drill (both had low accuracy), Earthquake (which doesn't work against flying types), and Strength. I thought flying types were naturally hard to hit because they can fly, and Strength was super effective against them because it was the only move that can hit and its animation was throwing a boulder.

Though, the XP share is an amazing idea, imagine this: You encounter a long period where one of your pokemons (A Klang for example)has the advantage (mostly a city filled with ice pokemons), after defeating the champion, you change city, and find a fire city, when comes the first enemy, you pick up your Palpitoad, but you realise he is underleveled, since you passed most of your time leveling up Klang, and you are defeated easily. With the XP share, you don't have to experiment this kind of nightmare, since you leveled up in your back your Palpitoad.

My worst mistake was this: When I was 10 or 11, I shipped myself with my Gardevoir in X because I thought it was hot, I even remember rejected a girl at school and my mom said she knew why and she didn’t get mad that I was in love with a video game character, she just laughed, turns out she shipped herself with Luigi from the Mario series, I don’t think this was a mistake but I think it still counts

[@yoshisarethebomb]

For some reason there’s something about Gardevoir that I hate, most likely because of it’s mega evolution, I think it was a little bit lazy.

4:17 same. I've noticed, though, that this is a common misconception with anyone who is new to the game. I got my friend into it recently and he followed this until I told him how it's a good idea to have them have multiple different offensive moves and ones to counter ones they're weak to.

So, according to my trainer card, I encountered 9 shinnies. However, I only have 4 so apparently, when I wasn’t paying attention, I ran from 5 shinnies.

Back when Pokemon let's go eevee came out, I got one of those $60 pokeballs that had a Mew. After not playing the game for a while, I reset it. A week later I realized that my Mew was on there and I couldn't get another. I felt bad for two years and only now feeling better. At least I still have infinite Magearnas

When I first played Gen 1, I somehow completely missed the concept that moves had types that were more and less effective against different types of Pokemon. I'd chosen Bulbasaur, so breezed through the first two gyms, and by then you can build a strong and diverse enough team to power through. I had no idea why moves were sometimes "super effective", but I did catch on to one thing: if you're facing off against a rat, you have to kick it.

It’s not a mistake but one thing I was ocd about when I was younger was not catching evolved forms. For whatever reason I felt the need to catch the first stage and train it to evolve. Instead of catching the evolutions at higher levels to avoid training.

My first Pokémon game was yellow, and after I beat Brock, I didn’t know where to go next. I got up to what I later realized was the entrance of Mt. Moon, but I thought it was a strange looking black suitcase. Not an entrance. It was just a dead end. I thought either something was wrong with my game, or the game was over. So I reset my game. And then I did the same thing again. My sister had yellow too, so I must’ve eventually asked her about it cuz I figured out it was a cave entrance not a suitcase. I also thought if I spammed electric attacks at Brock’s geodude and onix enough that it would eventually work. And I let my cousin reset my game when we couldn’t beat the elite 4.

Also I deleated my full National Dex in Omega Ruby because I wanted to replace the game. And in Sun I reset my game with 18 legendary pokemon most of them trained to Level 100 still in the resort because I forgot it existied and didn't transfer them to Bank.

[@tindraa9176]

my first pokemon game was diamond and pearl, in that game you could add stickers to your pokeballs, if you had a Pokémon with a pokeball like that you couldn't put it into your pc unless you removed the sticker, I did it on my Ponyta and I didn’t understand why I couldn't replace it, so it had to be on my team the whole game😂

Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness was one of my first Pokémon games I ever had, thus, I didn’t understand how things worked. I had evolved my Eevee into an Umbreon and I was at the point in the story when you have to go through Mt. Battle for the first time. My Umbreon leveled up and was going to learn a new move, and I accidentally deleted Bite from its move set. So I did the only thing that my young mind thought was rational . . . I deleted my save file and started over.

[@veteranJMacfan]

I can definitely relate to the one about not teaching moves of different types. I used to not use TMs much because I was afraid of using them too soon on a Pokémon I wouldn't take all the way to the end of the game. It's not necessarily a mistake, but it took me years to figure out the physical/special split. I didn't realize until Sinnoh that it was completely different than it would become. I used to think just having STAB and type effectiveness was enough. But my life was made so much easier when I started to learn whether to use physical or special attacks because the foe has stronger defense or special defense. And also playing through dungeons without repels-- OMG! I couldn't believe I slept on that for so many years.
