I used to think Meditite evolved into Machoke because of Pokemon cards.

srsly wat


I'm the only one who thought that Geodude evolved into Onix?
 
I used to think Gligar evolved into Steelix, but that was due to them being right next to each other in the pokedex and my 10 year old mind thinking that they were connected.

Same thing except it was dunsparce and gligar
 
Status moves were useless
Bashing buttons would help catch a Pokemon

And back then I only trained my starter Pokemon. I didn't train the others.

I actually still do that out of habit. It seriously seems like it works though.
It does, seriously.
But it requires frame-perfect timing.


Uh, oh jesus. That Mew evolved into Mewtwo, and the greatest sin of them all...

That the Unova starters were good.
 
I thought that if I pressed A or B with timing, the moves would do more damage.

Then again, Super Mario RPG was my first RPG game.

I used to think that Smirror was a Pokemon.

That is, until I played Super Star Ultra.

It's "Simirror".

And, you should have posted this in "Things you used to think about Kirby in your n00b days"
 
I thought you could capture Mew in the original game without cheating/causing a glitch.

Yeah. I made a video in youtube how to catch Mew causing a glitch in Pokemon red.
 
You have a YouTube account? Lucky!
 
I thought every Pokemon with a Rhydon avatar thing in Red was a Rhydon.

Also, when a Pokemon uses surf in Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal, they turn into Lapras ._.
 
I thought Roserade could learn Leaf Storm by level up.
 
After playing through LeafGreen I was certain Psychic-type was super effective against Grass-type, because every time I used it it was super effective because 90% or more of the Grass-types in Gen I are also Poison-types.

I was surprised when my Ralts (Kirlia by this point? idk) did normal damage to May's Grovyle.
 
Venusaur made me think Psychic was effective against Grass.
 
I also thought Psychic was super effective against Grass

Fucking Oddish.
