    My first game was Pokemon Black and I chose Tepig as my starter. The game asked me if I wanted to give my Tepig a nickname and I didn’t know what a nickname was (English isn’t my first language), so when the keyboard appeared I got scared and wrote Tepig. Now I have a lvl 80 Emboar called Tepig.

    My first Pokemon game was heart gold. My brother told me that once you catch all of the unown, you unlock a secret room where giratina is. Being 9 years old I believed him, but due to a lack of internet access I had no idea where to catch different letters. I spent so many hours just trying to get all the unown before finally giving up, and I only learned that there was no hidden giratina room when bdsp came out because I finally bothered to google all the letter locations. It took me 11 goddamn years to figure this out.

    When I first played omega ruby I assumed all pokemon evolved via level up so I ended up having like a level 100 kadabra in my game. Eventually I traded with someone to evolve it and they didn't give it back because we "didn't shake on it" so I had to catch another pokemon to trade them just to get my alakazam back. Needless to say I have some trust issues with trading after that

    I've never failed a Shiny. I'm always VERY careful when one shows up, and I always carry around plenty of Pokeballs in case of randoms.
    I have, however, 'lost' a Shiny. My very first one.
    I was playing Emerald when it first came out, and since FireRed was my first game, I was not a newbie to things. However, I had never encountered a Shiny before, and didn't even know they existed. As I was grinding near the Daycare, I encountered an Oddish that was a weird color, and it sparkled. As I am essentially a bird and was attracted by the sparkles, I caught the Oddish and put it on my team, naming it Oddie, because I clearly was a creative child. I kept it on my team for the rest of the game, evolving it into a Vileplume, and was always mystified by its weird appearance and the sparkle animation. Through that entire time, my dumbass never figured out that this thing was RARE, and when I was bored one day, I reset the game and lost Oddie, thinking "Oh, I'll just catch another weird Oddish, no big deal".
    After Oddie was essentially killed, that was when I learned about Shinies, and yes, it still hurts.

    When I was very little I was helping my brother complete the dex in Yellow. I kept telling him that the easiest way to get Doduo would be to evolve Farfetch'd. We kept grinding for hours until we realized that I was wrong.
    Another time when I was a bit older, I was playing Emerald for the first time, and my dumb ass wouldn't bother to read NPC dialogue. So there was this part where you had to go to Mt. Chimney to get to the Magma Hideout and I had no idea. I kept going in circles throughout the whole region over and over until I finally decided to read one of the NPCs who told me I had to go there. When I finally started progressing again, it had been days and my team was in their 70s.

    Little did I know that the Black 2 save file had a Shiny Typhlosion on it. How did I know after I deleted it? I was checking my Black 1 save file many years later and looked in the National Dex and there it was, registered as seen.

    ok, so a few things. One: I was shiny hunting in Moon for my second ever shiny, a bounsweet, that I was going to name Amythyst. I was doing the knock-out method and I didn't notice it was shiny until the point where I saw it faint. I did regain it though. Two: Later on, I lost that Moon version I had so many shinies (18) including my first ever shiny, a shiny Umbreon named Opal, and my first level 100 a non-shiny mimikyu named Jessie. Three: in that same moon game I used my master ball on the Lunala even though it has an easy catch. (i learned that with Sogaleo in sun)
    Bonus: Not exactly a "mistake" but I did spend 7 phases (well I found 12 shinies before it) and almost and about 9 months for a normal shiny sinistea with 33,473 total encounters, not including the shinies and the pokemon I didn't count in the hunts like nidoran (I was only counting the sinistea in the old graveyard) outside of that hunt in Shield. Including the other ones it was around 38,878 encounters not including the full odds aerodactyl that happened during one of the phases (but it wasn't part of my sinistea hunt so I didn't consider it a phase) and a mantyke and blaziken from Dynamax adventures. I also got pokerus if that helps with how long i was hunting. I named the sinistea iNSaNiTea for the pun and how this hunt drove me insane.

    In my first pokemon game pokemon platinum I didn't know what a shiny is and thought it would be bugged and ran. I just remembered that moment last month and it wasn't that dramatic anymore after I caught a shiny Glaceon two days after remembering.

    When I first started playing main-series Pokémon games back in Gen 5, I didn’t know that only “outsider” Pokémon disobeyed when they leveled past the limit for the number of badges you had, so I was always afraid to level up my Pokémon.
    I don’t remember when I learned that Pokémon you catch yourself will always obey you (unless it’s Legends: Arceus.) It might have been during Gen 6, it might have been at some point in Gen 7. It was definitely after I beat X&Y. (I bought both for Christmas that year, and I beat Y in only 5 days (with help from one of my older brothers.))

    I was a wee child, and me and my brother rented Pokepark at the library, and we didn’t know how to save. So every day, we would wake up to a new save file with all our data erased.

    The one that comes to mind right away is that I was hunting for cleffa in Legends Arceus and came across a shiny clefairy. Clefable is my favorite pokemon and I got excited, in my excitement I threw an ultraball and it landed just in front of it. It turned and ran before I could hit it before a ball landed on it

    I didn’t know what shiny Pokémon were back in the day so the first time I ran into a shiny Poliwag on the original Crystal I just killed it. I also accidentally reset on my version of SoulSilver that had all my shinies on it instead of starting a new game on the cartridge I specifically used for new games

    I think one of the biggest mistakes I made was in my Pokemon Sun game, when I was just starting out on Pokemon games for the first time. I used some rare candies on my Zygarde when it was close to leveling up, because I didn't know at the time that they give the Pokemon the exact amount of EXP they need to level up. I didn't think it would bring it there with the exact amount. I thought it would level it up and have it at the exact amount it was at in the next level. Even worse, I forgot to switch it to the front of my party to get evenly leveled with the others, along with my Flygon. I was wrong.

  • @casualformalities1518
    @casualformalities1518 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had made two mistakes that both involve different times i decided to restart my Pokemon Emerald save. 1) Found and caught my first (of so far two) shiny pokemon - Poochyena, thought nothing of it, got to the last gym and restarted because I was stuck on how to open the gym and thought I'd missed some dialogue, so I restarted the game. 2) I caught a Rayquaza for the first time and at Victory Road, made it my HM Slave because none of my other pokemon could learn them, restarted just because of that

    In pokemon let's go pikachu, I was facing Bruno in the elite four and his onix set up stealth rocks at the start and I was down to his poliwrath. My only pokemon alive was moltres and it was at half health and I thought stealth rocks halfed your current health on flying type pokemon. I was super angry when my moltres died immediately and made me lose the battle.

    1. Play your friend's copy of pokemon Emerald.
    2. Encounter full-odds shiny sableye
    3. Go "I've been playing this for a really long time. Look, the game is starting to visually glitch. Better restart without saving"
    4. Realize your mistake when you tell your friend about it at school the next day.
    The best part? This was after DPPT had already been released, so she had been spending hours pokeradar chaining the same night

    My first ever use of a Master Ball was on a Torkoal in Emerald.
    I also thought Cut was a level up move instead of an HM so grinded my Treecko(evolved into Grovyle) for days on the Whisher at the route between Rustboro City and the tunnel.
    Yep I wasn’t the smartest kid when I was young.

  • @NexasXellerk
    @NexasXellerk 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Two of the biggest mistake are from before the time of TH-cam and decent internet.
    The first one was when I was super young. When I played Yellow, there would be times after battles where my screen would flicker with a weird noise and I thought my game was glitching. Because I didn't want it to stop my cart from working, I would reset the save file and it would fix the issue. Which made sense because I only poisoned.
    The second one was something that hurt years after I did it. I remember finding out what shiny Pokemon were and how to identify them. Online sources said shinies have a red star on the info screen and this made me recall a conversation with my friend about a weird colored Golbat I caught and used in my main party in Ruby with a red star on the info screen. We didn't know about shinies at the time and this was the era of my life where I would reset Pokemon games when I felt like playing through the whole thing again.

    My first game was diamond. Bought it used and the person before me had picked chimchar, they were in Jubilife and had no other Pokémon. Played from there until Roark like 5 times before I learned how to save. Didn’t learn how to access the PC until MUCH later. My first Pokémon team was the first 6 Pokémon I caught in diamond.

  • @EliteTacoNinja

    Some of my stupidest mistakes in Pokemon
    - I got stuck in the ice cave in Gold pretty much forever. Eventually when I did get through, I missed the Waterfall HM and proceeded to get stuck on Victory Road. I never finished the game because of that.
    - I caught a shiny Zigzagoon without realizing it in Sapphire. I noticed later on that one of my Zigzagoons was a little different in color from the first and I wasn't sure why because I didn't know about shinies yet. Eventually restarted the game, and I didn't know about transferring Pokemon or how to do it, so I probably would have even if I knew what I had. It was my first shiny.
    - I stupidly allowed my little brother to play my Red or Yellow game with the sole stipulation that he not save the game. Got the game back from him and my Pidgeot was gone. Nowhere in the boxes and not in my team. He somehow released it and then saved afterward. I was so mad.
    - It took me until gen 7 to realize how good Quick Balls were. I basically only ever used regular, Great and Ultra before that.
    - It took me until the final Volo battle in Legends Arceus to figure out how to use items in battle. I did not figure it out until after several attempts.

At one point I ran into a shiny drednaw without even realizing it and ran just before I realized it was green. I was very upset. Luckily 2-3 days later I was doing the same thing and ran into a shiny chewtle, made sure to catch it this time

    PS. I'm still heartbroken till this day knowing how rare it is then a shiny.
