Noob Problems

Remember when you were younger, and had those derp moments, like the ones that people could make jokes about today? Yeah, those derp moments. Well, this thread is to share some of those derp moments that you had, or even make a joke about some of the things a new player might say/do


I'll go first :

"I can't play my pokemon game, because every time I try and step outside of Pallet town, this man always stops me, and i have to reset"

I didn't know that Swellow's FLying moves would be super effective aginst brawly's makuhita. A noob's moment.

I expected to find a Pokémon inside that Poké Ball, not a Potion!

My first time playing pokemon was with my crystal version! I never could play it because I couldn't figure out how to leave the house! Since when are rugs doors? But my mom figured it out eventually, I was young haha

First time playing Blue, I didn't know how to get the old man from blocking the path to Viradian Forest, because I never read the dialogue on what I was suppose to do to trigger old man to stop blocking.

Same as me. I didn't have noob experiences after that.

I've had a few when playing Pokemon, I guess one of them was having trouble figuring out how to get past the boy/girl who was guarding the route north of Littleroot Town until you found your rival. I had to search eventually on how to do it, ahahaha, I didn't read the text on what the characters said back then, I just spammed the A button and then walked off. At least I learnt from that experience though. n__n;

My first pokemon game was Yellow and i got lost in viridian forest for almost a week! My pikachu was lvl 22 by the time i found the exit. Now i can find the exit blindfolded lol

Had the same problem. Never had a welcome mat growing up. Where I come from, we welcome people IN THE FACE!

Also! In my first play through of Ruby in slateport, you couldnt go up north to the next town, maville town, or something? because team aqua or magma was blocking you. And when you talked to them they would call your pokemon weak. So i just thought you had to get your pokemon stronger. So i sat there a trained in the grass until my dustox hit like level 60 and the grass had wild pokemon at like level 20 0_o.
I grinded for like a week haha
Then I figured out you had to talk to someone in the boat house place, and just had a level 60 Dustox for most of the game haha

I thought Sudowudo was actually a grass type

I used my Master Ball on a Tentacruel instead of Giratina.

^ My brother who just posted up there never forgave me.

I was one of these people who could not get out of the house when I first played Yellow.

It took me literally one year to figure out how to get through Morty's gym in Pokemon Silver. SMH

Doubling up on types in my team and not knowing about diversity, which is total noob lol.

3 noob moments

moment 1. not knowing that you should replace ember with flamethrower and having 4 special fire type move all of different power. Derp

2. not knowing how to get out of little root in hoenn

3. finding a level 8 pidgeotto in viridian forest and being all wtf knowing pidgey doesn't evolve till lvl 18

In Sapphire, Swampert was the only Pokémon I trained. I didn't give anyone else time to catch up.

I used my masterball on tentacruel.. just because of its shape....

I had that too, but my brother directly explained it.

Hmm lets see.

1. My first game was Sapphire, if I recall correctly. And you know when you in that town where a lot of aqua team members are standing outside in a row to...museum I believe, and you cant go forward before you do something? Well, I didn't know what that something was for a looooong time.

2. Same game, that island where you have to find someone, but it's dark and you can't see anything. Let's just say I had NO idea what FLASH is, so you can guess that I spent even loooooonger to find my way through.

3.My biggest mistake ever. FInally went to League in Emerald. "omg, omg about to win!"
"Playing this game on my COMPUTER is sooo fun!!"
And finally, I defeated league, credits start.
"Omg I should save this now on ALL 12 possible save slots!"
...few secs later....
"Save file is corrupted, bla bla"
...few more secs later...
"Hello, my name is Birch,and you just wasted xyz hours of your life, plus, you will never be able to see everything you've ever done in this game"
derp...fffffuuuuuuu
