I only raised Pikachu in Yellow Version on my first playthrough. I somehow made it all the way to Lance before this became a problem. I believe the moveset it had was Thundershock, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Body Slam. I had some very weird sentimental attachment to Thundershock and thought it was wrong to delete it.

I couldn't find Cinnabar Island for like 6 months after beating Sabrina and never thought to look at my map.

Upon finding Mewtwo in Yellow Version, talking to it in the overworld prompts it to say "MEW!". I went running through the house, screaming to my sister that I'd found Mew, and she rushed to come see, only for me to press A and come face-to-face with Mewtwo. I was pretty disappointed.

I know that feeling all too well... I accidentally deleted Thundershock playing Yellow and immediately burst into tears, before my dad reminded me that I could just turn the power off...

i used to think fire spin was a good move

The first time I played Pokémon Blue I turned the game off without saving. I had gotten to Cerulean City only having a Wartortle in my party. :(

(to be fair that was the first game I ever played where you had to save manually. Most games autosaved your progress or didn't have a save function)

When I played crystal (after getting and playing Emerald, which is now my brother's), I thought that whirlpool was a strong move.

I had a copy of Gold for GameBoy Colour and I gave it to my brother's friend in return for his copy of FireRed.

One of THE worst mistakes of my life.

b1g

took the "mashing a for capture" thing to an extreme

one time i was so convinced, i mashed a and then i had this thing where i would like turn the gba or whatever handheld upside down as i thought not looking at it would raise my chances. then i turned my gbcolour upside down and slid it across a basketball court whilst battling lugia... actually caught it, too!
better than you, est. always

I was playing with the whole gotta catch em all thing. I couldn't find a cofagrigus, so I decided to take along a Yamask. My other Pokemon have fainted through training the thing. I come across an Audino and I have no non-ghost moves except will o wisp. I burn it.

BUT THE FREAKING THING HAS REFRESH and I didn't know, and it took me 15 minutes to realise I was wasting PP of all my other moves and it wasn't even getting burn damage.

Very. Very bad!

However I gave away my copy of Blue. Which is totally worse.

Masterball on a Diglett in Pokemon Blue
Hours and Hours of game play on the first day. Didn't save it, Turned my gameboy off.
I caught a Pinser in Pokemon Gold to try and win the bug catching contest. Some boy caught a Butterfree, guess what, I came second. Damn Pinser is so much better. I got so angry that I bit the top of my Gameboy colour.... Yes I broke the screen. straight down the middle.

There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

^ I've bitten my DS lite a lot, broke for different reasons.

Um....

I thought that infernape was better than Blaziken.

Back then I was young and foolish.

Saw a shiny Wurmple on Ruby and I thought it was a glitch so I killed it. Oh and now I can't find any shiny's anywhere!
Sup ~ I RP and stuff.
Also called Cody on err... pretty much everything.
When I play Pokemon I follow my personal Rule: I can only use Each Pokemon once across all games that I can transfer Pokemon across. I have used 108 different Pokemon I think.

I chose Turtwig... 'Nuff said.

Don't be bigoted, Torterra is cool.

Meowstic Royalty

I do seriously LOVE Torterra, it's just the speed kicks it in the ass every time. Sure, I usually use it as a good wall with that HP stat, Leech Seed and Synthesis...

But then an Ice Shard waltzes in and screws all that up.
