How many of you have some friends who try to show off their Pokémon knowledge in front of you and end up messing everything about Pokémon? I recently was talking to a friend about this topic when the guy says, " Yeah, such people are idiots! I mean everyone know CharLizard evolves from Dragonite!" And I stand there thining of how many times should I slap him.
I mean if you don't know ♥♥♥♥ then accept it!

It's hard to know everything about pokemon. There are over 700 pokemon, probably almost 750 if you include all forms of everything, I think it's almost impossible to know everything about every one of them, so I don't mind however much or little knowledge someone has on pokemon. There are no barriers to entry for being a pokemon fan. If you're a pokemon fan just because you think pikachu is cute, that's fine by me. For me, knowledge doesn't dictate fandom.

I guess your point was that your buddy was trying to talk like he knew what he was talking about when perhaps he really didn't have a clue. But maybe give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he just had Charmeleon and Dragonite confused. It might seem like a silly mistake to make, but we all have those brain farts where you get things confused. Even if it wasn't an slip of the tongue, I think most people can also relate to bluffing knowledge on a subject in social situations. Be it politics, sport or whatever, I'm sure we're all guilty of the cursory 'oh yeah' in response to a topic we have no idea about.

As for the actual question, I remember getting into a little argument with my friend about whether Charizard could learn Fly in the gen 1 games. He was adamant that he did because he taught his Charizard Fly and he only ever played the gen 1 games, while I was sure he couldn't because I can remember thinking how it was absurd that he couldn't learn it. Well we looked it up, and it turned out we were both right in a way as he could learn it in Yellow, but not Red of Blue.

One of my friends who only became a Pokemon fan recently has mixed some things up...for example we were talking about our favorite starters and he said stuff like "I love the gen 3 starters like Charmander" and things along those lines. Although I didn't get too mad considering X was his first Pokemon game, but as most of us are old fans we tend to make fun of others who don't know everything about Pokemon.

A friend of mine told a group of us that Venusaur Charizard and Blastoise would evolve again at level 100 if they were given a leaf stone, fire stone and water stone. Of course being young we tried it and it didn't work at all.
Been there...tried that hahah

I sorta have one of these, he's not my friend but I have known him for years, he works at the local game store and thinks he knows every thing, well one day when I went in there to reserve my versions of X and Y, he said some thing (don't remember exactly what) and I stood there for a minute and thought to myself, well that's not right, should I say some thing? Well I had to, I mean what if some one else came in wanting to know info and he gave incorrect info.

So, while me and my friend were young, and didn't know too much about Pokemon past Gen 1, we thought that Togepi eventually evolves into Lugia. I can't help but laugh at that idea when I think back about it nowadays

I think the argument my friends had at one point sums it up best. "Mews under the truck", " eh no, he evolves from Mewtwo at Level 85!". I'm just sitting there a year younger than them like, cmon guys.

One of my friends once said, "I got Venusaur, Blastoise & Charizard shinies in the same pack". Pffffft, the things we believed.

I can't remember the exact details but one of my friends once told me that to get Deoxys on Emerald you had to go to the moon. So of course the logical place to go was the Space Center in Mossdeep City. I think the method was something along the lines of: talk to someone inside the center, then do a certain amount of steps which takes you to the white rock on the outside, then do another certain amount of steps back to the first person you talked to, then he'll take you into space so you can catch Deoxys. Needless to say, it never worked.

I remember hearing something similar- having to wait exactly 100 weeks after the first successful rocket launch at the Mossdeep Space Center, and after that, you'd be invited to the moon, where you could catch Deoxys (or maybe it was Jirachi...). Obviously, that didn't work either.

Don't worry the anime thought that Arbok evolves into Seviper.
Wow lol ^^ that shocks me that even the suppose-to-be experts messed up and that mess up went through. (I figured someone would have seen it before they aired and say something)

Have any of you seen Sjin from YOGSCAST? Sometimes I can't stand listening to him when he plays pixelmon because he really doesn't know pokemon at all and forgets what he learns alot. I try to take alot of deep breathes and pray he'll remember what he's already learned.

I make it a point to only befriend true Pokémon masters.

No but really, I only have a handful of friends that are casual Pokémon players. The others are either as hardcore as me or have no interest at all. The more casual ones aren't totally ignorant though, but they sometimes get stuff like typing wrong, like idk, thinking that Pyroar is a pure Fire-type, or something minuscule like that.

My friends have never tried to show off their Pokémon knowledge in front of me, haha. Of course, they would converse with me about such things, and whenever they get anything wrong, I correct them. Most of them aren't as into Pokémon as I am, so it's understandable.

Long ago when all my Pokemon knowledge was only what I learned from the anime (Kanto reigon, after Kanto Pokemon anime was banished in Turkey bc some stupid kid died jumping off the window thinking he is Charizard and he can fly, -although Charizard can't learn fly :P-.) Back then I had no idea about dragon type's existence and I thought Dragonite is a fire type. Well, didn't argue with anyone, me and all my friends just knew as much as we see in the anime :D And my first game was LeafGreen, first i surfed on Lance's Dragonite and he resisted. I was like ''Ok, so you are a water type then'' and used razor leaf, he resisted that too. Now I was like ''Resisted both water and grass, so this thing is a grass type? Seriosly?'' And when he resisted flamethrower, I was like ''OMGWTF dafuq are you?'' Finally, I thought of checking it on the internet, lol :D

Once in small school ( about 13 years ago) I had a Charizard, Blastoise and Venasuar Poké figures. However one of the older childs thought they were cool and forced me to trade them against his Maril, Onix and Mareep figure...Or he would hit me or something...I managed to bargain with him to keep 1 of my figures, so he let me keep my Venasaur :)
Still got the Venasaur, Onix and Maril figures in my collection <3
Those memories x)

No offense, but I really don't get how people let the bullies force them to something...

When I was just 6 years old and I faced the fury of 10 year olds, I thought better flee than fight :P
Was so long ago, so I take the memory with ease.
I had no problam with bullies the rest of my school time anyway ^^

But the most haunted lie I was told was if you took a Magikarp from the salesman near Mt. Moon, stopped it from evolving and took it to level 100 with Splash on it's active move roster, you'd get a 1-hit KO. No wonder my parents were worried about me for days.......
