Embaressing mistakes/places to get stuck

[Ryu-kun]

Yeah... We all have been young... We all have been ignorant... And some of us just didnt understand English xD.

So, have you ever gotten embaressely stuck on a Pokémon game before? Like some people who have never found their way out of Mt. Moon when they were little...

Well, my story is such: Once, when I was like 6 years old, my best friend loaned me his GBA SP and his precious Ruby game... Well, I started over, got to Dewford city and got stuck when I had to deliver the letter... Ofcourse I didnt know any English back then, and when it was finally time to give the game back to my friend, I had like lvl 46 Blaziken and lvl 16 Makuhita in my party... All by grinding in the cave ^_^. Oh, and I didnt even know about type effectiveness back then xD

What are your embaressing stories on getting stuck?

 

[Timbjerr]

On Red/Blue, it took me a week to figure out how to get past Viridian City. The angry man sitting in the road (who looked like a fish to me 0_o) wouldn't let me through. D:

It also took me awhile to learn how to get into Saffron City. XD

 

[Sydian]

^ Same about Saffron. My cousin had to help me. I also couldn't figure out the Fortree, Mossdeep, and Sootopolis puzzles in Sapphire.

tbh, I can't really think of a lot of places that are ~embarrassing~ that I got stuck in. I mean, I never got stuck in my house or on the moving truck, so...

 

[TokioHumaNeko]

I once got trapped in Dark Cave,and i forgot to use Flash....Mainly because i left my Hoothoot back in my PC...until i finally Bumped my way out....and when i exited....i was near Blackthorn city. X.X

 

[Aether★]

I got stuck in Lavender Town once, and didn't know where to go through. That was the first time I've played Fire Red :P

 

[vinylscratchp0n3]

My little brother was playing Platinum, had just caught Giratina, and skipped through most of the text, so he didn't know much about where to go after it. So for about 3-4 days, he constantly bugged me about how to get to Sunyshore city because I had played through Platinum before. I hadn't done so for about 2 months, however, so we had to look it up on Google. Oh, and did I mention that we had no Internet the first few days?

 

[Ryu-kun]

xD @ Timbjerr. I remember having trouble with that too! I had visited like every possible place, except for the Pokémart, because I was positive that there would be nothing useful xD

 

[The Corrupt Plague]

When I was first starting out on Red about 10 years back, I got stuck in Mt.Moon for a couple of days. This explains my hatred of Zubats because the swarms made it that much more difficult.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Ice Cave (if that IS the name).

Yeaaah I didn't know how to get through it, like most others I guess, and then... there was this guy at primary school who got me through the cave. I remember it was before school, I dunno how I even knew he could get through it, but I think he had his Silver to check. It was one of my favourite Gold memories! Awesome stuff :)

I think there were others crowding around there, too. XD Oh and he was older and I still remember his name.

...

Pointless information at the end!

 

[560cool.]

Well, I really got stuck in Dewford. I had no idea I had to go to the cave and that stupid sailor wouldn't take me to Slateport. I figured it out, but it took a while ! ^^
Also, during my first Pearl (german lol) playthorugh I got stuck in Floaroma. I had no idea I had to talk to the grunts in the northern part of the city. -_-'

 

[Charmageddon]

My most embarrasing mistake.... when I was 8 I found a code on the internet for erasing the save file. Now I thought that this meant erasing the last save, so I would go back to the previous save point, before I had used my Masterball on Ho-oh, so I would be able to use it on one of the dogs instead.

I turned my game back on, and the whole file was gone. My Lvl. 100 Feraligatr, gone forever.... :(

 

[Kip]

Back on tmy original Red, I didn't know that Flash existed. So I made my way all through Rock Tunnel completly blind. :/

I had to angle my Gameboy Colour precily to direct Sunlight in order to vaugly see where I was going. I thought I was super clever to work that out!

...yeah

 

[Rapidash]

TBH I think I beat all you guys with my level of idiocy

I got Blue the first year it came out, I was 7.

It took me an hour to figure out how to get out of my bedroom.

I didn't understand that those little things in the corners were stairs

Just try and beat that :)

 

[Kikaito plush]

On pokemon yellow, I when through Dark tunnel without flash.

Kay, I think I can beat it. I had no idea what saving a game meant when I first got Pokemon, so I'd play for hours at a time maybe getting far enough to Brock and then shut it off. I couldn't have possibly known there was so much left after that until I stumbled upon the save feature and realized it meant I didn't have to start from the beginning!

 

[Sokai]

i think it was called 'ice cave' or whatever. you know, in the g/s/c series. i had no idea that you were supposed to push the boulders through the holes, so i was stuck in there forever. it was crystal, where people on your pokegear would give you gifts, so i thought the fisherman near the cave would give me ice skates. x___x needless to say, my mom's friend's son showed me to how to get out of the cave.

 

[Hybrid Trainer]

Well i find this very hard to admit as i find it embarrassing.
I still end up spending about an hour getting through Cinnabar Mansion.

 

[Amore]

Slateport City.

I went to the museum, Aqua were in the way. Went to Dock, conquered the Battle Tent repeatedly, went north, Aqua were there. Never went back to the museum.

 

[shininglatios217]

Getting stuck in Slateport City delivering the Devon Goods. I thought you had to wait a long time to get inside the museum until I started talking to random people to see if the line would disappear.

 

[Logiedan]

I recently did a random Solo Run for emerald and I got so stuck in the Victory Road.
I had to even look up the maps on Bulbapedia and I was still stuck. I didn't use flash at all.
