When I was 8, my sister, who was 5, told me that Raichu evolved into something called Airchu, which looked like a big Pikachu with red legs. I actually believed her for a while. I even saw a knockoff import toy set at the fleamarket, and one of the toys in it resembled the supposed Airchu, so I believed it more.

Of course, she also told me that there was a bumper on Cartoon Network where the PowerPuff Girls all shake their butts out of the O in "Cartoon Cartoons," and I believed that too... somewhat...

I had a tendency to also believe released pokémon would stay where you released it, and could be recaught over and over again. Guess what happened with my 3 evolved starters. xD

I also believed that if you saw Bill's PokéDex info on Eevee and the Eeveelutions at his house 50 times each, he would let you know about some secret garden behind his house, and that powerful Pokémon could be caught there.

And also, I thought that if you had a team of 6 Pokémon with Strength and you went to the Vermilion truck, you'd be able to move it, and find Mew in a Poké Ball under it. =D

Ah, the good years...xD

I used to think the attack Tail Wag was psychic and that its effect was to make the opponent faint.

But, again, that's what my little sister told me... It turns out she'd watched the episode where Misty first learns about Psyduck's attacks from the Pokédex, and when Misty told Psyduck to do Tail Wag, and it Tail Wagged the humans instead of the opponent, and the humans did that anime cliche faint thing that means "Oh geez," she'd mistaken that reaction for the effect of the attack. When I saw that episode, I saw immediately that that wasn't the effect.

iused to think that when u pressed b and a wheneverr the pokeball moved u catch it

and it actually worked XD
I had heard that you have to press B and 'down' when you throw the Pokeball for a better catch rate. And yes, I STILL have a habit of doing that when I throw a ball. XD

Other than that, I remember more stupid things that were done by other people:
When my cousins first got Blue, they got stuck in Viridian forest for days. :'D They just didn't find where to get to Pewter City, they thought there was only a dead end.
My little brother played his Sapphire, and when he had to battle Kyogre, he defeated it and saved the game! He was all like, "Yes! I beat Kyogre!" and I replied: "No, you idiot! You're supposed to capture it, not just defeat it!" :P

I spent nearly a half an hour trying to figure out how to leave the house at the beginning of Blue. "Okay, there's a rug, but... where's the door...?" x-x

The first time one of my Pokemon got poisoned, I thought the game was glitched and restarted it without saving.

*sighs and goes off to replay Blue*

My stupidest thing was that I put Typhlosion to my box 8... When I put that there my box 8 pokémons dissapeared!!! When I went to change box it said it has all of the pokémons there, but when I pushed withdraw...THERE'S NOTHING!!! There went my lvl 96 Typhlosion and other pokémons! That was some kind of glitch or something... I never had my Typhlosion back so I stopped playing that save game... (This is more accident or something... but it's also my stupidest thing in a pokémon game!)

Please feed my Pokémon and warm my eggs.
Thanks for everyone who have clicked these, you've helped me a lot :)

Anyone has Club Nintendo codes that you don't need? I want those.
If you have one code for me I can trade you my Explorers of Sky code as I can't put it because I have registered already one. (Registered my brother's game and now I can't register mine...) Someone have same thing? PM me.
I know there's nobody who wishes to do this xD
I'm talking about Club Nintendo of Europe.

I was 10 and just got through The Elite Four in Pokémon, all my pokémon was like lvl 70... Then I visited my friend, and we arranged that the both of us started all over in our Pokémon games (without saving), and then see if we could beat Gary with 3, level 5 pokémon...... Then we started our games all over, and I chose a Bulbasaur and randomly called it "Treestump" ... then I catched a Pidgey and called it "Stupidbutt" ... And then, my last pokémon was Nidoran(male) - I called it "Banana(female)" .. I beated Gary and went happily to the Pokémon Center.. BUT! Because of my reflexes I just saved the game, without realising I actaully did that.............. Then when I turned off the game, to play with my good lvl 70 pokémon, I was at the pokémon center with 3 REALLY weak pokémon called REALLY strange names! T___T.. MAN! I got angry! (Sorry about my english.. .__.)

Yes, I too was a believer of Mewthree, or Chrono Mew .. =D
In fact, I believed a lot of the RBY rumours.. Especially the truck thing...

Okay but when Gold came out, I got it, discovered that Pokemon could hold items, then I thought that if I made them hold a a TM or HM, they would be able to use that move in battle.. xD

I buried my pikachu plushie in a beach near our holiday home. My sister said if i did, we would come back the next day and it would be real. So yeah, um the next week theres a chewed up pikachu plush on the beach and one really distraught kid. But she said it was fine anyway because she took his soul xD.

I believed that Mew had something to do with the truck. I tried strength on the truck and nothing happened. Then I tried to use cut next to one of the tires. Nothing. Little did I know there actually was a Mew glitch in RBY.

I also used a GameShark on my Crystal version. It was some stupid cheat. It got my Feraligatr to level 100 instantly after a battle. It only got his Atk and Sp.Atk stats up though. I tried to use him against a tough gym leader. the gym leader attacked (Level like 40 or something) and it 1HKO'd me. How embarassing. Lol.
