OMG me too haha.

Another one for me was Sudowoodo into Trevenant it just seemed to fit in my mind. Even though one looked happy and the other just looked dark it still would have been neat.
Well Sudowoodo does appear in Horde battles with Trevenant in the Winding Woods. I like to think that Sudowoodo actually think it's tricking people into thinking it's a Trevenant. 'If I stand nears those grass type trees, then maybe people will think I'm one of them and won't squirt me with water' :t185:

That's a good way to look at it :) When I got my first pokemon game and was getting into it I know I also made the mistake of think Mew evolved into Mewtwo. Oh how silly I felt after finding out the truth.

As a kid, I seriously thought that Lunatone and Solrock could evolve if I gave them a Moon Stone and Sun Stone respectively. I remember playing Sapphire, I had a Moon Stone and I went to Meteor Falls to catch a Lunatone just so I could evolve it. Of course my hopes were crushed when I read it couldn't.

Oh and I thought Remoraid evolved into Mantine because in one of Mantine's official art, Remoraid was on its wing.
This reminds me how I thought Eevee evolved into Espeon with a sun stone and Umbreon with a moon stone. To this day I still think that's how it should of been done.

And about the mantine thing. I thought if you caught a mantine maybe you would automatically get a remoraid because of it's sprite art!!! Back when I didn't know where to find remoraid in gsc I would catch a mantine and surf around in hopes it would attract them looooooool

Actually that's how Eevee evolves in Umbreon and Espeon in Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness. One of the only times that happens.

I watched the anime before playing any game, and after watching Ash battling Brock I thought that Onix was in Geodude family line.

Also, when I played Emerald for the first time, I believed that Swalot was related to Grimer and Muk in some way.

i was on the almoaoaomaomaoalalala/luvdisc and buffo/tauros train too, but that was speccing before the game count so i wont count that.
my theory to that is, anyway, that they originally planned Gen5 to have crossgen evolutions to other Pokemon, but scrapped that idea later - buffo and alaomaomamaoomsla were two pokemon that were meant to be evos for tauros and ludisc, but when they scrapped the idea they decided to keep them in for whatever reasons.
that's what i believe anyway

ANYWAY

as for actual goofs post-release for me.
Back when I played crystal, I thought that Miltank evolved into Magby (coz they were next to each other in the pokedex?? idk why i thought that when mil comes after mag LOL but w/e)
i have distinct memories of the 8 year old me (or how ever old i was) spending a lot of weekends on my bed levelling up my miltank hoping it would evolve into a Magby...

When I first saw Slaking in Ruby, for some reason I thought it was an evolution of Slowking, or some other king Pokémon present. xP Boy was I mistaken.

May someday resurface in full. We'll see what happens down the road!

Because of typing and pokedex placement, back when I was first getting into pokemon in the Stadium days I thought that Fardetch'd was an evolutionary relative of doduo and dodrio. I'm glad that's not the case.

I'll admit, I honestly thought that the first time I saw Sylveon I thought that it's the evolution to Victini. While I was aware that Legendaries don't evolve, the fact that they look similar is kind of distracting. It only took me until the next minute to realise that Sylveon is actually an evolution to Eevee.
