For me:

1. My cousin said I could catch any Pokemon with a Master Ball, so I used it on another trainers Pokemon.
lol

2. I thought that after kids go to bed adults have Pokemon battles with their real Pokemon.

xD
Oh my god, LOLLLLLLLLLL at number 2.
I used to think/PRAY TO GOD that Pokemon were real. I'd take these little pieces of wood that were cut out like circles and colour red/white on them and throw them around because I was clearly the greatest Pokemon master in the world.

When I was little i heard about the shiny pokemon, but didn't understand what they were, actually. So, i saw a normal ratata in the first route in pokemon fire red, and thought it was shiny. I captured it with my masterball! (i was training my larvitar, after the pkm league)

And my friend convinced that he had a pikachu in his house in childrengarden. I believed it, and I reply that I had a charmander in my house (it wasn't real, it was a lie). Then, he was surprised, and since we thought they were real, each day we met we were saying things like "my charmander evolved" or "my raichu is better than your charizard" until the end of the year. I had fun, now it's so embarrasing.

When I first got Red version, I was like 5, and I walked around the in-game house you start in for a long time, I couldn't find the exit. It had to be at least an hour.
And when i got outside, the confusion escalated. I didn't even know what I was supposed to do at that point. I walked around aimlessly, and finally gave up after a few hours.

I also believed all of the Elite Four myths, and tried every single one out.
I also released my best Pokemon, a level 80-ish Scyther, because my cousin told me that Scyther was an evil Pokemon and he was contaminating my other Pokemon, and soon they would all turn evil and stop listening to me.

So I released it...

First EVER time I witnessed a Pokemon game in action was with a boy playing it, he was my mom's friend's son, and he was quite mean to me ;___;
Anyways, he was playing Blue version, and he was surfing, obviously at the time I had no idea what that was, and I was like uhm you're an animal? How does that happen? And he didn't answer me.. XD

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

So I was in first grade, and I had a Pikachu plushie. It meant the world to me. Then, one of my friends threw it away and I couldn't forgive her for years. I couldn't stop crying.

It looks pretty foolish of me now. least I got 3 more Pikachu plushies <3

Gahh when I was a kid I heard all these stupid things and I fell for them....

- Thought if i released a pokemon it would follow me everwhere like Pikachu in Yellow... Lost Entei that way
- Believed the whole Mew under the truck thing and in order to make sure I did it on Red Blue AND Yellow....
- Beat the E4 100 times in Pokemon Yellow in order to get into "Bills secret garden"...
- Almost crapped myself at seeing the level 40 Onix in Victory Road and wasted my master ball...
- Thought if I got Mewtwo to level 100 on cinnabar island I would fight a mew
- Thought Dratini was a legendary pokemon so I caught as many as possible in the safari zone.... Filled every box i had in pokemon blue...

I am a major idiot and when I was 5- 9 I had way to much time on my hands.... :D

When I thought that if you were to stay up till 2AM with a Pokemon card under your pillow, that the Pokemon on the card would come to life.

When I first played Crystal or Silver (I forget which one) I didn't think the Master Ball was that special. They were my first game, and I haven't heard of the Master Ball on the show, so I thought it was normal. In Victory Road, I battled a LVL32 Onix, and weakened it to yellow. I then proceded to use the Master Ball. I thought I was cool!

Always called Ho-Oh Ho-Ho so I was like "I cant find Ho-Ho" aka.Santa Clause XD
Played Red, traded a Pokemon from blue with cut, missed out the S.S Anne, got surf and badge to use it, went to the mew truck...and got nothing. ;_;
Put my Pokemon Yellow under the tap because my brother said it would get "better." XD Now everythings all...blocky. :\ :D
