      Just for the record guys, Flash is GREAT. Last year I started from scratch at making a living dex with every game, and therefore beating every game, and catching every mon in every game. And flash is ESSENTIAL. Why? Well, do yyou have any idea how many resets it takes to catch your average legendary due to crits? Do you have any idea how many LESS it takes when they can't hit a thing? Flash catches legendaries, boys and girls. Put it on your catching mon, That's why so many grass type can learn it, to pair it with sleep powder.

The main caveat with flash is that you cant erase it when finished it's purpose without the move deleter when it was a HM and the 70 accuracy is horrendous... which was the point mikey was making

    The worst mistake of Gen 4/5 is beating an entire Pokemon game in one sitting when an old save file already exists. These games prevent you from saving at any point when starting a new game without deleting the old save file, especially when the games force to save after defeating the champion and entering the hall of fame

      I bought my first Pokémon game (Pearl) on a flee market, and for a long time I didn’t want to erase their data. And for some reason the game kept freezing in or before Jubelife city (at least I think that’s what the city is called), so I just replayed that little part of the game hundreds of times before eventually deleting the old save data and starting my own adventure.
      But since I didn’t understand English, it took me a long time to figure out you had to talk with the clowns to progress, so I think my Monferno was in the late twenties when I finally got my first gym badge.

    As a child, I was playing one of the Hoenn games (can't remember which one, either Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald), and grinding in the grass near the Daycare. I was starting to grow bored with grinding, so I was on my way back to town to heal, when I had a random encounter while leaving the grass, which was a Shiny Oddish (my first Shiny). I didn't know about Shinies at the time, but I was smart enough to recognize that this thing was special in some way, so I caught it and named it Oddie. I liked seeing the sparkles when it entered battle, so I added it to my team and evolved it into Vileplume. Oddie the Vileplume stayed with me all the way through the League, and it was in the Hall of Fame. Some time passes, and I get the urge to play through that particular game again, so I deleted my save file with Oddie on it, because I thought I could just easily find another 'weird Oddish', since Oddie appeared so easily for me. It was only after I had done that that I learned about Shinies and how hard it is to get them, and I've felt pain about this ever since.
    RIP Oddie.

    I did a few of these mistakes myself.
    - I only put STAB moves on my Pokemon a few times before.
    - I once released my Togepi on Crystal version thinking that if I released it, that would suddenly make it available again in the wild.
    - I forgot to save after catching a shiny, and with a very unfortunate stroke of bad luck, my game crashed.
    - I don't remember what I used it on, but I'm pretty sure I wasted a masterball before.
    - Completely without my knowledge, not my friend, or even my sibling, but my GRANDPA started a new save file on a game and erased all my progress.

I spent several hours just pacing back and forth at the door trying to get out of the house and would get excited when I accidentally hit down and made it outside. Then later I'd have to do it all again because I didn't know saving was a thing. Lol

The very concept of saving progress on a game was foreign to me. Also those uses of “save” you described are very different. Saving as in rescuing someone is not quite the same as saving something to be used later. For a young ADHD/Autistic kid like me, all of these things were enough for me to have to reset a few times before finally going “oh so thaaaats what that does”

    You're not alone. I wiped away the SHINY BOX ART LEGENDARY that I got on my first ever playthrough of a pokemon game!. It was Crystal. I'd watched my brother play loads of Red, and loved my new Crystal on a GameBoy Color. I remember being really impressed that they made legendary pokemon have sparkles around them, as every time I used my Suicune it had those cool sparkles. But I wasn't happy with my choice of starter (Chikorita), and started again to use Cyndaquil. I was really confused that when I got back to capture Suicune it didn't have sparkles any more. For many years I assumed it was a special thing that only happened on the first playthrough on any given cartridge.
    I wiped that save file. I did that to myself.

    Don't worry Michael, you're not alone in that last one. Before playing pokemon, I had various Zelda games. None of them were on gameboy but they all had multiple save file slots. So when I saw the "Continue" and then "New Game" directly below it I thought, like the Zelda games, the New Game slot was a separate game slot all it's own.
    So I have saved over old game progress while having beaten through up til the last gym. Genius me decided I wanted to try doing a separate run using a different starter than my first game, because I was almost at the end of my first game and wanted to see if making different choices changed anything. So imagine my surprise when I went back to try and play my other save to discover that it wasn't there.
    I booted up my game and saw "Continue" and "New Game" and thought to myself, "Why didn't my second play through save? I swear I saved my progress." And then, slight disappointment turned to horror when I logged on to my "old" save to discover that, no... it did save. And all my progress of the first play through was gone.
    I learned a very important lesson that day lol.

    I have a few stories.
    1. The very first pokemon game I ever got was Gold. I distinctly remember getting it alongside a purple Gameboy Color (both of which I still have) from a yard sale or something. When I got it, the previous owner showed me a bit of how to play. During this time, they showed me the Boxes and how they worked... I may or may not have accidentally released a few pokemon before their very eyes. Thankfully, I was getting the game and was gonna start a new game anyways, so I hope I didn't traumatize them.
    2. With that game, I had gotten all the way to Claire's Gym in Blackthorn. Fun Fact: Gameboy cartridges have batteries in them meant for holding saves. Mine ran out.
    3. Later on, I started playing Emerald. At some point, I found a golden pupper. Confused as to why it was yellow, I simply ran away, not sure what else to do.
    4. A long time later, I was playing through Moon, and I accidentally threw my master ball at a Salandit. Thankfully, this has a happy ending, as I did close the game and turn it back on so I would have it.
    5. There was a point where I got extremely lucky and hatched a Shiny Eevee in like 3 or 4 eggs, which I was hatching just to get the rest of the Eeveelutions. After that, I went on an Eevee hatching spree, and got I want to say 3-4 boxes full. I decided that I'd evolve all of them, learned the two heighest stats of each eeveelution, and would decide which eeveelution an eevee would evolve into by looking at their IV's through the Judge thing, putting eventual Espeons, Umbreons, and Sylveons in the springs as well as my shiny. One day, I saw my sister playing on my game, and looking at the boxes, I saw a bunch of Eevees missing, and thought she had released them. Thankfully, I eventually realized that they were just in the Hot Springs.

    Great video as always, Mikey!
    Let me tell you about something I did in Pokémon that can’t be considered a mistake, but something that I still feel like was dumb.
    I never fully played through a Pokémon game until Pokémon Shield when I was around fourteen or so. I didn’t really care much for the game and just wanted to catch a bunch of Pokémon for camping and stuff like that. So I just cheesed through the game with a bunch of Max Lair legendaries and an Urshifu.
    Thankfully, I’ve learned from this, and in later games, like Legends Arceus and Violet, I actually made balanced teams.
    Also, I kind of did a variation of the whole physical vs special thing, but not in a game. I used to use Pokédex 3D Pro a lot, and as for stats, I mainly focused on Attack, and not Sp. Attack, which I didn’t know that well at the time.

    The starter being stronger is quite a fun thing, I also tought that, until my Dormanitan started destroying my oponnents, while the rest was just doing "Ok".
    The soft lock also happened, I dont remenber which version of pokemon (I think it was gold & silver), but at that time, I did not undertood english at all (I mean, I'm not even close to be fluent now days, but I can communicate), so eventually, to progress you needed to do something that was not very straight fowards, and I never undertood what do to. At the time I tought it was a bug or glitch, and restart the game and my save profile multiple times, but I always got stuck at the same place everytime. Eventually, I gave up and accepeted that It was just broken. In fact, yet to this day I dont know how to progress any further, some time ago I tried to play it again, but the game itself was not working, I tried to resolve it, but I think time just coroded my games. All my games... Even black and white ;-;
    Oh, and the "If status, then useless. So omega true" There were just 3 status moves I used at the time. One that put's the enemy on fire, toxic, and toxic spikes (but the last one much later, just when I found a way to teach my Garbodor that)
    I even tried to use Sword Dance on my Samurot, but I felt like "bro, I'm wasting a intire turn to boost my attack, at this rate I'll be dead before I even attack" and then gave up
    Oh, and similar to stats moves, I also did not undertood what the status of a pokemon meant. In fact, for a long time I tought that "sp attack was how much fast I would attack, so If I had high sp attack, the I would attack first, and speed was just for evasion chances... and dont ask me what sp defence would mean, I dont remember but I think my 7 years old brain was not even capable of processing such a thing.
    BUT!!! I was not one of the ones who ruined their pokemons because of "cut" or anything like that. The first time I used that was on a "whatever pokemon" nothing that I cared, just there cus I had nothing else. So when I could not remove, whatever, who cares? But then I realised, if I cant remove, I dont want to teach this moves to my main cast.
    But I got to an extreme that no one would have moves like that, so every time I needed to cut a single bush, or rock or anything. I needed to go all the way to a pokemon center, take my level 10 pokemon with that move, go all way back, cut the thing, see if there is another thing around, go all way back again to the pokemon center, get my True pokemon back, then go all way back to where I wanted to go, just to see that 2 scenes forwards there was another bush... And do it all again. But hey, my pokemon where just fine :D (that smile hides a imense amount of time loss and suffering... Sometimes I think how did I had so much time as a kid)
    Oh, and one thing that I dont remember you saying, but that I tought was true back in the day. "If strong in anime, then must be good in game. If bad in anime, then must be trash". I did not affected wich pokemon I would get, since I never cared about their strenght, I just wanted to play with those that I liked... But it remained in my head for a good while.
    Shine was also never a problen to me. Because I never found one. I never searched for one, because I did not care, and because Shines are, in my opinion, worst version of the normal pokemon. At least 90% of time. But any ways, I never got one :v
    And well, the deleted save files was not really a mistake, I guess. Time just fucked me up, so I can not play again with my old save files or even my old games. :/
    But hey, I never got problens with evolutions. I always could check how and who evolved into what, and even if I needed to trade, I had a friend that played the same game with me, so we could trade, no problens at all. We even would battle sometimes, I usually won the battles, but I must say that he had better pokemons then me. I just had counter element to his, so I could win. Well, what can I say? get outplayed nerd

    My earliest childhood mistake, which to be fair, I was told this by someone else and I knew nothing of Pokemon at the time, was thinking the little green caterpillar (Caterpie) was able to shapeshift into any other creature.
    At the time, Pokemon was still revatively new, it had only been released a couple of months prior, and I had no concept of Pokemon Evolution. I remember being so frustrated when I couldn't get the damn thing to change into anything, which led to a mix of excitement when it finally turned into a Metapod, and disappointment when that wasn't what I wanted it to turn into. I spend countless hours trying to figure out how to make it change into something else, eventually concluding that it was random and boxed it.
    I don't remember who told me this, or whether he himself actually believed this or was just lying to me, but this has cemented itself into my brain even after all these years.

Mistakes included were Thinking Normal was Super Effective against Ghost because Ghost did nothing to Normal, Backtracking like crazy due to not knowing what Fly did, Having a Level 91 Samurott with Cut because I didn't know how to delete it, Thinking Evolution was luck based and could stop randomly when really I pressed B without knowing what it did, Thinking Throh evolved into Sawk, Thinking Gurdurr evolved by Level Up until it got past Level 60 and didn't, Thinking Pikachu was powerful and obtainable in Gen 5 then using it in Gen 6 because of the Anime, Thinking tons of Pokemon were stronger or weaker then they were because of Pokemon Conquest and worst of all Losing to Diantha and to this day I have no idea how that happened.

    On the topic of 'not saving...'
    This isn't a pokemon game, but: Back in the day, my best friend and I were in love with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. We played that game for literally hundreds of hours. So, one day, we were playing a semi-new game, having just started 2 new characters to try out different races. We played for over 5 and a half hours straight without saving, because we were... like, 13, and weren't the smartest. And saving was a very obvious, out-of-the-way choice you had to make, no automatic saving or "do you want to save?" screens between things. We got all the way through a brutally rough dungeon, we were celebrating about it... when the power went out because a bunch of teenagers down the street hit the power lines with some fireworks on the 4th of July and put the entire neighborhood into a blackout. We were -devastated.-

Some examples I remember are thinking Glalie is Ice/Dark, Suicune is Water/Ice (I'm sure that one is understandable) and thinking Wailord is Water/Flying. Probably the most egregious example though is thinking Empoleon is Ice/Steel rather than Water/Steel.

    "In case you don't know, physical moves involve physical strikes, usually with the Pokemon's body and special moves tend to be ranged energy-related attacks"
    And then you have those fringe cases where an attack is physical, but doesn't make contact with the opponent, similar to a special attack. One example of this third case is Earthquake.
    Edit: I choose to believe accuracy on moves is how obvious the move's "tell" is. The lower the move's accuracy, the more obvious the "tell" and thus the easier it is to dodge. Tackle? Not very obvious, so it has 95% accuracy. Zap Cannon? Very obvious, so it has only 50% accuracy. Horn Drill? So obvious you'd practically need to be blind to miss it, so 30% accuracy.

But it loaded a save state from all the way back at the dreamyard. I was about to go to the elite four. I couldn’t live with the fact that 90% of my save data had been lost and half my team essentially dead. So I deleted the save file.

    @TheSebliterator 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

    In the situation of non-damaging moves being useless, this fact typically only applies to when you're fighting in-game trainers as opposed to actual human players because in the former, you don't even need a highly complicated battle strategy when you already know what your opponent will do beforehand and can just over-level your team whenever you want if necessary and at high enough levels, even type matchups won't matter if you can one-shot almost any opponent without even using super-effective moves. However in VGC, it's drastically different, as you know, it's like a combination of chess and poker, but obviously even more complex. Considering you're playing against another actual human player, you never know who your opponent will be and even if you do, you still don't know what pokemon they'll bring and the strategy they'll implement. But I digress, anyway because of the stat and level adjustments as per the format rules, non-damaging status moves usually tend to be the win condition if strategies centered around these play out correctly, though of course they can still backfire at any moment.

However, if he needs a much stronger STAB move then I would recommend Earthquake, which is STAB ground and never misses, and Liquidation (TM), assuming you're playing SV, as not only is it's damage output DOUBLE that of Water Gun, it also makes full use of Swampert's base 110 attack stat, which is far greater than its special attack by a decent margin.
