My first Pokemon game was heart gold. My brother told me that once you catch all of the unown, you unlock a secret room where giratina is. Being 9 years old I believed him, but due to a lack of internet access I had no idea where to catch different letters. I spent so many hours just trying to get all the unown before finally giving up, and I only learned that there was no hidden giratina room when bdsp came out because I finally bothered to google all the letter locations. It took me 11 goddamn years to figure this out.
I think the scariest things about my personal Pokémon mistakes are the ones that I don't even know about. Last year I went through my Pokémon Go Stash to transfer some Pokémon through Pokémon Home...there were 3 shinies that I never remembered catching. Makes me think about all of the Shinies I've passed up because I wasn't paying attention....
My first nuzlocke, fighting Iris I sent out Clockwork the Magnezone against her Haxorus. I didn't realize Mold Breaker means it breaks through Sturdy.
I've never failed a Shiny. I'm always VERY careful when one shows up, and I always carry around plenty of Pokeballs in case of randoms.
I have, however, 'lost' a Shiny. My very first one.
I was playing Emerald when it first came out, and since FireRed was my first game, I was not a newbie to things. However, I had never encountered a Shiny before, and didn't even know they existed. As I was grinding near the Daycare, I encountered an Oddish that was a weird color, and it sparkled. As I am essentially a bird and was attracted by the sparkles, I caught the Oddish and put it on my team, naming it Oddie, because I clearly was a creative child. I kept it on my team for the rest of the game, evolving it into a Vileplume, and was always mystified by its weird appearance and the sparkle animation. Through that entire time, my dumbass never figured out that this thing was RARE, and when I was bored one day, I reset the game and lost Oddie, thinking "Oh, I'll just catch another weird Oddish, no big deal".
After Oddie was essentially killed, that was when I learned about Shinies, and yes, it still hurts.
O O F
Ouch!
F
F....I felt this one. REST IN PEACE Oddie, you were deeply missed
At least Oddie’s memory will forever live in your heart
During my Pokemon Y playthrough I found a strange pink sneasel on the snowy route (probably one of my fav pokemon). I fainted it for the precious experience as I wasn't aware of what shiny pokemon were, although it got me intrigued as to why it was pink. A quick google search later and I figured out my mistake :,) Luckily I was able to catch 2 shiny sneasels since then :)
The redemption ark (its such a good shiny)
10:31 seeing that exact moment from Alpharad's first Nuzlocke video still had me thinking on what's going through that guy's head to think the built-in Focus Sash was also in Gen 3
Same that was hilarious
14:08 Almost 100% sure this was made up, since the obedience check was never applied to Pokemon with your Trainer and Secret ID until LPA, and even then it only applies to the level you met them

I tortured a poor Feebas because, after failing to evolve it with all methods I could think of, as a last resort, I figured that maybe it evolves by hate since evolving it by friendship didn't work.
my gosh...
Because of the anime with James hatefully kicking Magikarp into the water and then it evolving into a Gyarados..
I can see the leaps in logic here
When Red and Blue had first come out, my friend had Red version and I had both. I was playing my Blue Version at his house and we got to talking about it. He told me he was stuck in Cerulean City because he didn’t know he was supposed to leave through the house Team Rocket robs. So he just kept training in the grass north of the city. For a long time. We had a battle and he had a level 68 Charizard just from the wild Pokémon in that area.
In FireRed, I used my master ball to catch a cubone. I had already beaten the elite four but I never encountered a cubone in my playthrough so I really wanted one. After finding out where they are, I went searching in the tower for ~2 hours before I finally encountered one. I then realized that I didn’t have any regular poke balls in my bag and I didn’t want to try to find another cubone so I resorted to the master ball
Not a "mistake" really, but it upset me greatly.
I started replaying Pokemon X recently (this is the first run I intend to finish) and my first encounter on Route 4 was a female Combee. Feeling incredibly lucky to have her, I named her Emily, after Glitter Lucky from Glitter Force. When I got to the Professor's lab, the game crashed, and the last time I saved was right before the Gym.
Naming a female combee after a glitter force character is the cutest thing
Mine was that when I was playing my first Pokemon game, Emerald, I thought the Pokeball icon on the side of the mon's name meant you had to catch it. I proceeded to catch about 10 wurmples
One of my biggest mistakes was when I got Celebi in Crystal through a special event, I released it, thinking it would appear in the game if I reset it. That was when I was under the age of ten. 😂
When I was about 10, while playing Platinum, I accidentally ran away from Giratina and then saved for some reason. And it took a few years before I learned that you can battle it again in Turnback Cave, so for several years, I felt really bad about that mistake.
All these fails made me go check on my Heart Gold save game where I had just recently gotten a random encounter shiny Ratatta (in Bellsprout Tower; near Escape Rope), this video made me check to see if I remembered to save; I named him Mickey.
EDIT: He’s still there. I forgot that I had evolved him into a Raticatte Lol.
I was once talking to my friends and was hunting Uxie. I found the shiny tossed a few pokeballs and then subconsciously hit the soft reset buttons.
In emrald i got a shiny castform first with the weahter institute but after beeting the game steven i forgot to trade the shiny and reseted it and lost the shiny forever
On my first ever save of pokemon sword, I released my starter. I had gotten to the first wild area and I clicked the release button thinking it meant the pokemon would be sent out like a following pokemon. I had forgotten that there were autosaves earlier and I hadn't saved yet so I reset. At least this was near the start of the game. ._.
I had a SHINY VILEPLUME ON MY SCREEN and... so I didn't have much enough balls so I had to run and bike my way to the pokemon center.it still haunts me to this day
Pokemon FireRed was my first game, and I didn't know you were supposed to save the Master Ball for legendary Pokemon or that legendary Pokemon had low catch rates (I was like 9 lol). So, I used the Master Ball to catch one of the Snorlax that was blocking the roads. I found Zapdos later and couldn't understand why I couldn't catch it lol
I read a book once about gen 1 pokemon, including all 8 eeveelutions. I thought the eeveelutions evolved into each other. During my play through in sword and shield, I wondered why a thunder stone didn't work on my Vaporeon.
My son mentioned that as a side note, Pokérus is in fact, a fatal disease, that will kill your Pokémon quicker than it just dying of old age, even though it gains EV's faster. Which is why the tombstones, inside the Poké-Tower make so much sense, when looking back on the original games
When i was 10 i got my first pokemon game. It was ruby. I caught a machop, evolved it into machoke, and did not know you needed to trade to get machamp. The elite 4 didn't stand a chance against my lvl 80 machoke spamming revenge and sismic toss.
13:17 I DID THAT TOO!!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!! I was stuck there for days trying to figure out how to progress!
I got a shiny Beldum from the ORAS early purchase event, evolved it into Metagross and used it on my playthrough team.
And then I *forgot to move it to Pokemon Bank before restarting the game.*
I still hate myself to this day because of it.
1. Play your friend's copy of pokemon Emerald.
2. Encounter full-odds shiny sableye
3. Go "I've been playing this for a really long time. Look, the game is starting to visually glitch. Better restart without saving"
4. Realize your mistake when you tell your friend about it at school the next day.
The best part? This was after DPPT had already been released, so she had been spending hours pokeradar chaining the same night
My very first pokemon game was Ruby, and I got to Mt Pyre and started crying because I thought pokemon could actually die if they got too strong... So I released my favorite Swellow, my SweetieGirl, into the wild so that she could live out a full happy life free. ...She was also the only pokemon I had that had any levels on it, so I had essentially screwed myself for the file. It wasn't a full soft lock, but boy it sure felt like it.
At 10:43 he thought alpharad didn't listen to his friends advice, but he did, but his Brayden's advise backfired.
2:00 i legitimately can't even wrap my head around and begin to understand this
I was a wee child, and me and my brother rented Pokepark at the library, and we didn’t know how to save. So every day, we would wake up to a new save file with all our data erased.
im like 99% sure that i accidentally reset on shiny mewtwo in leaf green, i was on my sp in a dark room and wasnt paying enough attention, only realised when i saw the sparkles right before the screen reset
First shiny fail I experienced: I was playing Pokemon Y, and I found a shiny Zigzagoon after I got pokeballs. I went to get up and do something and I accidentally hit the run button. R.I.P Shiny Zigzagoon 😢😢😢
In my first pokemon game pokemon platinum I didn't know what a shiny is and thought it would be bugged and ran. I just remembered that moment last month and it wasn't that dramatic anymore after I caught a shiny Glaceon two days after remembering.
I didn’t know what shiny Pokémon were back in the day so the first time I ran into a shiny Poliwag on the original Crystal I just killed it. I also accidentally reset on my version of SoulSilver that had all my shinies on it instead of starting a new game on the cartridge I specifically used for new games
In pokemon go on an Abra community day, I caught a least 6 shiny Abra's. Knowing how many I caught, I didn't think they were that rare, I transferred all but 1 of them
I almost failed my 0.002% chance shiny beedrill in let’s go eevee because it had a run animation while I’m throwing regular poke balls
Didn't even KNEW I HAD POKERUS in my sword playthrough, after beating the game I noticed my Inteleon had purple face icon, didn't knew what it was until doing some research then I was heartbroken for a long time.
PS. I'm still heartbroken till this day knowing how rare it is then a shiny.
My worst moment was probably when my little brother was doing dynamax adventures and he used a master ball on a mudsdale
In pokemon let's go pikachu, I was facing Bruno in the elite four and his onix set up stealth rocks at the start and I was down to his poliwrath. My only pokemon alive was moltres and it was at half health and I thought stealth rocks halfed your current health on flying type pokemon. I was super angry when my moltres died immediately and made me lose the battle.
Dumbest mistake happened recently - found a shiny cuffant, one I was excited for, only to accidentally click the picnic button... you can imagine my horror. And no, it was not there when I ended the picnic.
This one stings because it actually happened relatively recently.
Shiny hunting Ponyta in Alpha Sapphire.
Catch one.
Play for too long when I have to get to work the next day.
Come back the next day.
Can't find shiny Ponyta. Can't find other Pokemon I caught after shiny Ponyta.
Sit there confused because I usually save twice just in case, but somehow I apparently didn't save at all.
The fact that they practically give you shiny Ponyta in LA is actually just salt on the wounds.
I think one of the biggest mistakes I made was in my Pokemon Sun game, when I was just starting out on Pokemon games for the first time. I used some rare candies on my Zygarde when it was close to leveling up, because I didn't know at the time that they give the Pokemon the exact amount of EXP they need to level up. I didn't think it would bring it there with the exact amount. I thought it would level it up and have it at the exact amount it was at in the next level. Even worse, I forgot to switch it to the front of my party to get evenly leveled with the others, along with my Flygon. I was wrong.
My mistake, I left candice’s gym after completing the puzzle to heal and when I came back in the puzzle reset, I haven’t beaten the puzzle yet (I’m talking about the ice snowball puzzle)
Teaching Dream Eater to a Haunter that didn't have any moves that could put Pokemon to sleep.
I had made two mistakes that both involve different times i decided to restart my Pokemon Emerald save. 1) Found and caught my first (of so far two) shiny pokemon - Poochyena, thought nothing of it, got to the last gym and restarted because I was stuck on how to open the gym and thought I'd missed some dialogue, so I restarted the game. 2) I caught a Rayquaza for the first time and at Victory Road, made it my HM Slave because none of my other pokemon could learn them, restarted just because of that
I can excuse the "losing a Ho-Oh to a Nincada", that stupid bug has NO REASON whatsoever to have HEAD SMASH. Completely uncalled for.
My worst fail was a first encounter full odds ditto in crystal... it struggled ko'd itself after breaking out of every ball I threw at it
When I played Pokemon for the first time in Black/White, I remember very little because I was a kid. I don’t even remember which starter I had! I do remember one thing way too clearly, however. I remember that for some weird reason, I used the Master ball on a Foongus. Not a special Foongus, mind you. I don’t believe that I got a shiny in that game.
wow the shiny alpha gardevoir happened to you too? WILD COINCIDENCE
If you wait for day without going back to the village it comes back still shiny
When I first started playing main-series Pokémon games back in Gen 5, I didn’t know that only “outsider” Pokémon disobeyed when they leveled past the limit for the number of badges you had, so I was always afraid to level up my Pokémon.
I don’t remember when I learned that Pokémon you catch yourself will always obey you (unless it’s Legends: Arceus.) It might have been during Gen 6, it might have been at some point in Gen 7. It was definitely after I beat X&Y. (I bought both for Christmas that year, and I beat Y in only 5 days (with help from one of my older brothers.))
Here's a shiny fail that happened a while ago, pretty recently;
One day, I was playing with my friend & she asked me for a white-feathered Squawkabilly so she could have all four variants, and because they would never appear for her for some reason. I found one right outside of Artazon and then entered the town, causing it to despawn. Luckily, it wasn't shiny. So after I ended the play session, I decided to make a sandwich to try to get another one to appear for her. I re-entered & re-exited the town over & over again when suddenly a shiny Oricorio had appeared. Since I had a sandwich effect, that meant it wasn't full odds. But then I entered the town and I watched it despawn in front of my eyes. I immediately regretted this for the rest of the night due to that singular black & red bird that I saw exist for half a second or so. I made a promise with my friend that as redemption for the bird that was lost to hatch a new one via Masuda Method. At least I got the white-feathered Squawkabilly she wanted & traded it for a shiny Charcadet she hatched via Masuda Method.
My first shiny fail was a Shedinja in Shield. I entered a random Shedinja raid, and it was a shiny. Once I defeated it, I caught it... and it escaped the Poké Ball I threw at it & ran away to somewhere else in the den. Thank goodness that can't possibly happen in Tera raids, now that they have a 100% catch rate in those.
Funnily enough, it wasn't until she got the white-feathered Squawkabilly that said Pokémon variant started spawning for her in her game. How random.
Might as well post my dumbest Pokémon moment here. Trying to hunt Shiny Heracross in ORAS, found a shiny Oddish in a horde encounter and accidentally ran from it. At least it's my only failed shiny
I also thought the thing about Pokémon going first if you selected your move faster, mostly when it came to Pokémon Stadium and would always be confused when I chose my attack immediately and the computer did it at a steady pace and still went first
Second ever Pokémon play through, my (then undiagnosed) adhd ass playing through Alpha Sapphire for the first time and being very excited. I was sweeping through everything in an attempt to beat the game before I had to go back to school after winter break. I forgot to save before fighting Kyogre and accidentally KOed it, so of course I end up resetting to try and catch it.
….I hadn’t saved for two gyms
I'll admit as a rookie on leafgreen, I deleted a green Bulbasaur thinking that my game was glitched:)
Couple of days late, but storytime pokemon related. Note that it is not much of a mistake, but something that still hurts me to this day. I got Pokemon HeartGold for Christmas when it was released. I made so many memories with that cartridge. My beloved Typhlosion, TinyDancer. Yes, I named my starter that cause Cyndaquill is adorable. Even catching my first full odds shiny, which was a rattata I stumbled upon when getting to the next town. I was nearing the elite 4 when *the incident* happened. I was punished for having bad grades, so I told my younger brother and sister to help level up my team but do not enter the league cause I wanted to beat the game first. Fast forward to me getting ungrounded, and I asked my brother and sister to give me back my game.
"I'm so sorry, CND, but we misplaced the cartridge."
That sentence haunts me to this very day. My HeartGold game has never seen the light of day since then. I never finished the game, and I lost my shiny rattata in the process.
After playing USUM, I was completely sick and tired of seeing Mudbrays all the time. So when I played SWSH, I made it a point to run away/dodge any Mudbrays I saw. Determined to avoid them completely.
When I went back to complete my dex, I noticed that the entry for Mudbrays was a bit of a weird colour. Sure enough. I had only run into one single Mudbrays on that save file, and it had been shiny. And in my hatred, I ran away from it.
Wally's mistake was to lose his lvl 60+ Gardevoir against my lvl 15 nincada while I was xp training and he wiped some of my best team members. He will never become the trainer he wanted to be...
Nincada just soloed Gardevoir with one bug move (think it was leech life) and sand attack
1) shiny seadra with no pokeballs 2) forgetting to save after event shiny arceus 3) leveling my kadabra to some ridiculous level because I thought it was level up, while holding an everstone bc I thought it made it evolve faster
Holy cow! I just remembered that I too got stuck for a bit in Pokémon Ruby because I didn’t think I could go under the bike path! Wow, that’s wild. Can’t believe I forgot that.
The only one I really remember is when I played Crystal for the first time, I didn't realize that your rival's name was originally shown as ??? because you were supposed to pick his name later, so when asked for his name....I just put ??? again.
I didn’t know STDs didn’t save in legends and when I found a shiny eevee I saved, it ran so I went to reset it and it wasn’t there
One time, I was masuda method egg hunting shinies, and I was releasing the non-shinies and accidentally scrolled onto a shiny, competitively viable Dracovish I got. R.I.P. my boi.
dracovish cannot breed
@@samuelfaille-denis8098 no, I was hunting Omanyte, but a Dracovish was in the box.
Hearing that dude resetting his OG silver physically hurt me. Cus like same,
But with Snubbull
It had a grey sprite and the screen flashed, I watched the pokemon movie, i knew snubbull was pink. I thought my gameboy color lost it's color
I haven't been playing for long but I didn't use my ultra ball on Raikou. Instead I switched to a stronger pokemon and he fled.
My biggest mistake in Pokemon was when I deleted a Sapphire save file to do a new playthrough, purposely deleting a Shiny Golbat. First legit shiny, GS Gyarados aside.
LG!Eevee allowed me to redeem myself, but the scars are still there.
Not really a mistake, just a sad moment. In Pokemon HeartGold, literally at the very first patch of grass and the beginning (I didn't have any pokeballs with me, and I'm pretty sure you can't get any at that stage), I encountered a shiny Pidgey. I ran and was absolutely depressed.
When I first played Pokémon Blue, I was trying to catch a level 3 Jigglypuff and I accidentally clicked on and used my one and only Master Ball instead of a poke ball.
I used to think shiny Pachirisu was just the female version. Failed my first shiny.
John:yay shiny
Wimpod:✌️
i didn't get to the twitter in time but the dex entry for lapras said that they were endangered, so i bred over 1000 competitive lapras with 27 being shiny. then i released all of them into the wild so that they weren't endangered anymore. in pokemon emerald i used a shedinja, but the dex entry says whoever looks at its back dies, so i shut down my game and reset for fear of the player character dying on the spot. my starter and aggron were shiny.
12:50 OH MY GOD, I MADE IT INTO THE VIDEO!
That's me right there!
At the very bottom cut off... 🤧
Confession time: in a Pokemon FireRed Nuzlocke attempt, I caught a level 3 Metapod that only knew Harden. Not knowing that I could switch in my starter if things got dicy and still receive exp for the Metapod, I foolishly believed the anime and believed that Harden was an unconventionally useful move, so I used Harden on my opponent. RIP Metapod. RIP my one encounter in Viridian Forest. RIP my Bulbasaur and that attempt of mine, because the poor thing was on its last legs and lost to a rival battle.
I went full on rage mode afterwards and took out my frustrations on Brock (*cough*Bulbasaur*cough* *cough*Leech Seed*cough* *cough*Vine Whip*cough*)
My first ever Shiny was a Zubat in Heartgold. I thought my game glitched and resetted my entire safe file because I was terrified if losing my first ever game.
Was a kid playing Fire Red, struggling to get through the Old Mansion, finally got out with the key and immediately turned off my GBA, for some reason i must have thought it was the volume
And that kids is why you don't play Pokemon when you're really really tired
My first ever shiny fail (that I can recall) was a shiny female Psyduck in Diamond. I didn’t know about shinies at the time, and I was doing an unofficial ‘male only run’, so I ran from it. One of my friends told me about shinies afterwards, and let’s just say I feel embarrassed for my younger self.
When I was a Kid, I never knew what a Shiny or Pokerus was, and so there was multiple times I would release them thinking it was a glitch 🙂
The first ever pokemon game I ever owned was Pokemon Emerald. When I got a master ball I just used it on a random Sharpedo that I wanted without giving it much thought. Younger me didn't understand why my older brother was yelling at me for doing that.
Once I was playing Platinum and my DS fell off my desk and froze, I was in Iron Island, and I apparently never saved once
this video brought back memories of when I found a shiny granbull (my second ever shiny, I was pretty excited) and it used roar before I could do anything
Thankfully I’ve never failed a shiny, but I do have 2 mistakes and 1 misconception.
My first time with a main series Pokémon game was White when I was 10. I chose Oshawott and at the lab when Juniper asks if you want to nickname your Pokémon I accidentally clicked yes, and I didn’t know you could hit OK and it’d cancel so thought I could just name it its species and the game would think it didn’t have a nickname… I also didn’t know how to go lowercase. Guess who beat the game with an “OSHAWOTT”?
Same game, same save, I had just gotten to route 10 and encountered a Bouffalant for the first time. That thing took every Pokéball I had (and I had a ton of Ultra Balls) so out of desperation I used the Master Ball on it. Quickly realizing my mistake, I bolted to the Opelucid Pokémon Center’s PC thinking if I released the Bouffalant then I could get the ball back. It was a slow sad walk back to route 10 to catch another Bouffalant…
Way back, before I got into the main series, part of my main experience with the series was collecting the cards because I really liked the art. One night I asked my dad what HP meant. My dad, who works with lots of machinery, told me it meant “horse power”. So I went a good many years thinking the HP stat is what determined a Pokémon’s overall strength, because in my mind, that meant it was as strong as that many horses.
Wtf, my first game was white too, and the same things (wasting the masterball on a bouffalant and the nickname thing) happened to me too, although i chose snivy. No way
I named the snivy "Ivy" and it's still her nickname
I remember in Pokemon Pearl, whenever I was catching a legendary, I would weaken it to low health and then throw the master ball
I also had my Torterra use earthquake in a double battle forgetting it would also hit my Luxray.....didn't go well
Purplecliffe has so many fails they would need a video of their own
Jesus that first clip pm7 already having owlton Johns hair lol
7:15 i once reset my fire red to start anew and found a shiny rattata before getting pokeballs
My first game was diamond. Bought it used and the person before me had picked chimchar, they were in Jubilife and had no other Pokémon. Played from there until Roark like 5 times before I learned how to save. Didn’t learn how to access the PC until MUCH later. My first Pokémon team was the first 6 Pokémon I caught in diamond.
My main mistake still haunts me and it happened while SM was still around and newish but I had found a full odds shiny magikarp and caught it, but traded it for a rayquaza named Kao cause I thought it was amazing and more rare. My second mistake happened today while playing PLA found a full odds shiny basculin but joycon drift messed me up bad and spun me around making me run into the shiny whom was a Timid and he ran away 😭
The first time I ever found elgyem it was shiny, I was like ooooo new Pokémon, luckily I was paying attention and saw it sparkle
Was shiny hunting sandile. Wasn't paying attention and knocked it out when it appeared. Even worse... It was a two turn move that I couldn't stop so all I could do was just scream. Took three more days to find another.
@PM7 Plus
When I first started Pokémon and was ignorant and unaware, I played through Pokémon X up until that field after that weird forest where you could encounter Zoroark. I had only ever seen the Pokémon in the anime and never before that. So I the first time I saw that Pokémon in the grass I thought it was a super rare and powerful Pokémon. I proceeded to through my master ball it and catch. It wasn’t until moments later after I encountered another Zoroark that I realized the gravity of my mistake.
When I was 8, I found a shiny Floatzel in Pokémon Diamond while working to complete the Pokédex. I was at school eating lunch with my friends, when I asked them why that Floatzel was a different color and sparkly. I had never seen a shiny Pokémon before and neither have them because they told me it had to be Darkrai disguised as a different colored Floatzel. I tried catching it because I really wanted a Darkrai because I thought it was a super cool Pokémon. However, because I was working on completing my Pokédex I used up a lot of the Pokéballs I had. I ran out of Pokéballs and had to kill that Floatzel. I did make up for that loss in Brilliant Diamond and Legends Arceus.
I didn't see the tweet so here's my worst fail. I became champion in pokemon sun, came to the point in alpine saphire where you try to catch kyogre and had just beaten in pokemon pearl crasher wake, but when I was playing alpine saphire and trying to catch kyogre my dad called me to come down and I slipped on the stairs and my 3DS fell. It has been broken ever since.
Also the original pokemon Pearl was first ever pokemon game, but since I bought it with my grandma in germany it was soft locked to only be in german. So I choose the cutest/coolest pokemon I saw and I choose moves by names, colors and numbers. Which led me into once getting a magikarp, but I missread it for shellos's germany and I released it. But I wasn't allowed to go back and get one.
I really hated one part where you had to find a key to get out of a city, but the key was so hard to find that my mom searched it up and said it was in front of the building on the pathway. So I spam clicked A to find an invisable key.
I caught 4 Pokemon with Pokerus in Pokemon Shield and was Post Game, ran into a shiny Bounsweet, realized I could have farmed the Shield Legendary Pokemon as a shiny, I reset the entire save, redid the entire game, tried to farm the Zamazenta for about 200 attempts, then I asked my mom for her phone so I could see if it was shiny locked, and wouldn't you know it, it was. I also took the time to look up what Pokerus is, and it turns out that was a 1/21,845 chance, and a shiny was only a 1/4096 chance. I became so traumatized that I purposely went out of my way to catch every pokemon I ran into just incase it had Pokerus again. Not one did to this day.
"The speed up button is just not worth it"
Anyone remember Mikey's platinum nuzlocke?
Rolling my eyes every time someone tells a "my overlevelled pokemon wouldn't obey me" story when that only happens with trade mon smh
when i was young i had Pokémon emerald for the Gameboy advanced. as i was making my way to winonas gym i ran in to a shiny maril... i didn't realize shinnies were a thing and thought "oh god another one of these." and ran away....i regret my actions to this very day
Some of my stupidest mistakes in Pokemon
- I got stuck in the ice cave in Gold pretty much forever. Eventually when I did get through, I missed the Waterfall HM and proceeded to get stuck on Victory Road. I never finished the game because of that.
- I caught a shiny Zigzagoon without realizing it in Sapphire. I noticed later on that one of my Zigzagoons was a little different in color from the first and I wasn't sure why because I didn't know about shinies yet. Eventually restarted the game, and I didn't know about transferring Pokemon or how to do it, so I probably would have even if I knew what I had. It was my first shiny.
- I stupidly allowed my little brother to play my Red or Yellow game with the sole stipulation that he not save the game. Got the game back from him and my Pidgeot was gone. Nowhere in the boxes and not in my team. He somehow released it and then saved afterward. I was so mad.
- It took me until gen 7 to realize how good Quick Balls were. I basically only ever used regular, Great and Ultra before that.
- It took me until the final Volo battle in Legends Arceus to figure out how to use items in battle. I did not figure it out until after several attempts.
Me, a 7y/o non native English speaker: not knowing what the release button does and testing it on my best and favorite Pokémon.
I watched Justin Flynn flee from a shiny geodude once. It was made of pure gold. It was beautiful 🏃♀️
