I thought that Hypno evolves into Drowzee.
Mawile's horn was infront of her face.
Pidgeot was called Pidgeotto and vice-versa.
Psyduck evolved with a Water Stone.
Splash actually could do damage.
Mew evolved into Mewtwo.
Togetic was called Togechic.

I used to think Arbok would be Seviper,it looked liked it could be true.
I use to think similar like that but the evolution for Ekans will be determined by the personality value

I used to think Trapinch did't evolve into Vibrava. I didn't have a Flygon for YEARS..

I also used to think Fire was Super Effective on Ghost and Poison type. My logic? Well, gasoline is flammable and all.. well, it's not a poison, but.. You get the idea. As for ghosts, don't ask.

Mawile was part Dark type
Psychic was super effective on Ghost
Misdreavus was Celebi(before GS came to US officially)
Skarmory was a new legendary bird
Togepi was a legendary Pokemon
Seviper and Arbok were related(they have all the same colors)
Dunsparce evolved into Gligar
I confused Qwilfish with Remoraid and thout it evolved into Octillery
Always thought Stantler and Girafarifg were the same damn Pokemon

I used to think that Riolu evolved at a certain level.
I also used to think that you could catch Mew in Cinnabar's burned mansion, or by "moving the truck" at Viridian.
And that there was such a thing as "Pikablue"


I used to think Pokemon were real.
What do you mean? Of course they're real.

Before I played the game that introduced Plusle and Minun (I'm wanting to say Gen III introduced them) I thought Plusle and Minun were some form of Pichu. They really do look like a rip off of the chu family. So, you can't blame me there.

I, also, thought that Splash could do something if you used it while in the water.

The anime initially led me to believe common Pokemon could understand human speech.
You mean they can't?
I thought they, like, understood the attacks and stuff.

So did I...

According to the PokeDex, the only Pokemon that can understand speech are Psychic Pokemon (or Pokemon with otherwise telepathic powers, such as Ghosts and a few Legendaries), Ninetales, and Dragonite. However, regarding the Psychic Pokemon, it's likely that they're just reading mental images and not processing the words themselves.

The anime is pretty misleading, as the characters sometimes give overly complex commands that the Pokemon follow exactly. Then there's that whole thing about how Meowth learned to talk through sheer will.

I used to think that Ash was cool.
LOL

I used to think that Farfetch'd evolved into Doduo, since they follow eachother on the pokédex.

Another one, I used to think Dragonite was an evolution of Charizard, this was at the very beginning of playing my good old Red game, about 9 years ago.

When I was little, I believed my friend when he told me that "If you're lucky, when you use Splash your Magikarp can evolve into Gyarados!"


Fun fact of the week: Did you know that with 252 SpD EVs, Bold Cloyster's SpD increases by 50%?

Being the ultimate skeptic that I am, I never believed anything unless I proved it true. SO eh, no misconceptions on my part.
