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!
That's the best one.

Very first time I played Pokemon and it was Pokemon Silver. Anyhow being 8 or 9 I spent probably 2 hours trying to get out of the house. I found the stairs fine, but I didn't know how on earth how to get out. I just thought the mat was one people lay out to make the place look pretty. Aren't I cool.
2.
Then I didn't know what saving was. I was such a game noob. Played like 3 times picking Totodile each time until my cousin showed me how to save.
3.
Masterball on Graveler, not cause it was an accident. I just really liked Golem at the time.
4.
Training Haunter to level 60 not realising it needed to be traded.
5.
Playing crystal I never knew about Mt. Silver. So for some reason I traveled victory road again, went to Pokemon League then saw; "OMG I CAN GO BEHIND HIM". So explored that, found Red. I shrugged and was like "oh it's me." (The sprite's the same). BAM BAM BAM. Oh.. these Pokemon are high levels. Thank god I have my Lv 100s on me and won ^^
6.
I didn't know Crobat existed. Raised a Zubat for a change on Crystal. Oh golly gosh, HOW IS THIS THING EVOLVING? GOLBATS DONT EVOLVE. OMG THAT IS SOOO COOOL.
7.
Struggled quite a lot in Kanto in Crystal.
8.
As a kid you heard about Lugia and Ho-oh, but I never knew how to actually get them. Stumbled across Lugia like; "Oh there it is. THAT'S SO COOL". Never found Ho-oh and to this day I've never caught a Ho-oh. I've got one through trades and events though ^^

Forgot to fight Jasmine after doing the lighthouse quest.

R/S/E didn't have too many mess ups. But there's a few and being 12 with my friend was amazing.
1.
Tried to get Zangoose. Spend hours trying. Oh it's not in Sapphire... lovely.
2.
Picked Lileep when I loved Anorith
3.
Didn't what Rayquaza was. Climbed a tower for the hell of it.
4.
Didn't go to pacifilog town for well... ages.
5.
It's not really a mistake, but doing the braille for the Regi's was absolutely amazing fun. I think I caught Rock/Ice/Steel in that order. I remember sleeping round a friends house catching Regice and trying all the time in the world.
6.
I bought Pokemon Channel... did get a Jirachi tho.
7.
Actually made a team of Lv 30's for the union room. Lol.

This one's actually IRL. I was at the 10th Anniversary event. It was amazing. Anyway, that day I got a Mew and a Celebi I just went up to everyone asking if they wanted one (It wasn't giving them away at the event). I'd clone it for them and everything.
FUN FACT: My breeding partner (Please read that carefully
) was traded to me that day. A Shiny Camperupt with magma armour. I still use it even today. It's called Bluenumel because the kid was young.

Went to an event with Lv 100s. Terrible idea.
Will do D/P, BW and XY in a bit.
