    When I was a kid, I heard about the trade glitch you could do in Gen 1 where you turn off one of the Game Boys mid-trade and it sends a duplicate copy of a Pokemon to another game without losing it in the original game. I had gotten a Mew from a Toys R Us event, and one day I realized I could just use the duplicate glitch to give a copy to a friend.
    I told him to just trade a Pokemon he didn't care about so he grabbed a Gloom from his box and we started the trade. I turned off one of the Gameboys, and we checked to see if it worked. When I went and looked in my game, I now had a Gloom, but no Mew, and he still had his Gloom.
    I had done it backwards. My Mew was gone forever.

    The shiny Floatzel fail is even more embarrassing when you remember there are berries that lower EVs when fed to a Pokémon. You could have easily undone the speed EVs by just feeding them Tamato berries, so that way you could have kept the Floatzel and wouldn't have had to reset.

      @psuedonym9999 3 года назад +30

      That's actually sounds like a good idea, like a Breath of the Wild type interaction. Speaking of BotW, there actually *is* an interaction sort of like that. In the Gerudo Desert, it's quite hot, and if you don't wear proper clothing or eat/drink chilly food/sliders, you'll take damage over time. Standing in the shade also helps. But you could also carry ice weapons like you can carry flame weapons in cold climates. But I didn't know this one until recently: if you're wet, say, after just getting out of the water, *or* after striking chuchu jelly, you'll stay cool for a bit. That chuchu jelly part I had no idea about until recently. It's kinda like getting Zigzagoon wet to make it's fur stick together instead of being puffed out and spiky. But sorry for the wall of tangentially related text.

    But what still haunts me to this day was when I had to "calm down" Kyogre so that he wouldn't destroy the world. I fought him with my entire team (dear Swampert clutching the team) and defeated him because "I can't catch him, he's the god of the sea, you're not allowed to own him as your Pokémon".
    I had grabbed the Masterball but never used it, mostly because I thought you were unable to catch a legendary Pokémon.
    And then my cousin caught him a week later in her own playthrough and I felt like an idiot 🙂

However, when I threw my Piplup out to battle I remember it looking an off shade of blue and I was worried that my game was faulty so I restarted and got the normal looking Piplup. Looking back, I failed a shiny Piplup because it wasnt a very noticeable shiny, if it was red I would've known that it wasnt my game acting up if that makes sense

    The dumbest thing I did was believe in Minusle. It was a theory that you could breed plusle and minun together to get a Minusle. It was a gray color with one cheek being a plus and the other cheek being a Minus. The breeding pair needed to have held items, and know helping hands, low chance to breed of 1/50 eggs could be Minusle, etc.
    There were rumors that it was a a hidden unintentional pokemon like the Mew spawn teleport glitch and Missingno in generation one. That's why it wasn't in the Pokedex. The sprites were very convincing, and this was in ruby sapphire, before the sprites moved like in emerald.
    I bought it hook line an sinker, and attempted to breed them for weeks before id attempted all possibilities, and finished that section of the Pokedex.
    This was in the early 2000s, before RUclips existed, and internet hoaxes were much harder to disprove, plus I was a dumb kid.
    I just tried looking it up, and it seems that the hoax has been washed from the surface web of Google, cants even find the hoax fanart sprites on image search.

    6:06 This is part of the reason I used super training in gen6, on top of not being rng reliant, so it would usually be faster anyways. Too bad you forgot about the friendship berries lowering EVs.

    I genuinely thought a Pokemon getting sent to the PC meant they put it on my computer. I searched the files for the Tailow I caught for an hour.

    Dumb thing I thought as a kid: because I wasn't aware that the box existed, I thought that only the first 5 pokemons you catched + your starter would stay with you, and the pokemons you catched after these would just vanish. That's also why my HG team was Cyndaquil, Sentret, Rattata, Zubat, Caterpie and Metapod.

    The last one about you believing pikachu was a rabbit instead of a mouse was also true about me. When I played pokemon stadium as a kid I thought pikachu was a rabbit since it was so fast when I used one.
    Edit: ok normally I don’t do these kinda stuff but when I check back at this comment it got a lot of popularity. So thanks I guess.
