      Just for the record guys, Flash is GREAT. Last year I started from scratch at making a living dex with every game, and therefore beating every game, and catching every mon in every game. And flash is ESSENTIAL. Why? Well, do yyou have any idea how many resets it takes to catch your average legendary due to crits? Do you have any idea how many LESS it takes when they can't hit a thing? Flash catches legendaries, boys and girls. Put it on your catching mon, That's why so many grass type can learn it, to pair it with sleep powder.

    As a child, I was playing one of the Hoenn games (can't remember which one, either Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald), and grinding in the grass near the Daycare. I was starting to grow bored with grinding, so I was on my way back to town to heal, when I had a random encounter while leaving the grass, which was a Shiny Oddish (my first Shiny). I didn't know about Shinies at the time, but I was smart enough to recognize that this thing was special in some way, so I caught it and named it Oddie. I liked seeing the sparkles when it entered battle, so I added it to my team and evolved it into Vileplume. Oddie the Vileplume stayed with me all the way through the League, and it was in the Hall of Fame. Some time passes, and I get the urge to play through that particular game again, so I deleted my save file with Oddie on it, because I thought I could just easily find another 'weird Oddish', since Oddie appeared so easily for me. It was only after I had done that that I learned about Shinies and how hard it is to get them, and I've felt pain about this ever since.
    RIP Oddie.

    The worst mistake of Gen 4/5 is beating an entire Pokemon game in one sitting when an old save file already exists. These games prevent you from saving at any point when starting a new game without deleting the old save file, especially when the games force to save after defeating the champion and entering the hall of fame

      I bought my first Pokémon game (Pearl) on a flee market, and for a long time I didn’t want to erase their data. And for some reason the game kept freezing in or before Jubelife city (at least I think that’s what the city is called), so I just replayed that little part of the game hundreds of times before eventually deleting the old save data and starting my own adventure.
      But since I didn’t understand English, it took me a long time to figure out you had to talk with the clowns to progress, so I think my Monferno was in the late twenties when I finally got my first gym badge.

The very concept of saving progress on a game was foreign to me. Also those uses of “save” you described are very different. Saving as in rescuing someone is not quite the same as saving something to be used later.

    You're not alone. I wiped away the SHINY BOX ART LEGENDARY that I got on my first ever playthrough of a pokemon game!. It was Crystal. I'd watched my brother play loads of Red, and loved my new Crystal on a GameBoy Color. I remember being really impressed that they made legendary pokemon have sparkles around them, as every time I used my Suicune it had those cool sparkles. But I wasn't happy with my choice of starter (Chikorita), and started again to use Cyndaquil. I was really confused that when I got back to capture Suicune it didn't have sparkles any more. For many years I assumed it was a special thing that only happened on the first playthrough on any given cartridge.
    I wiped that save file. I did that to myself.

    On the topic of 'not saving...'
    This isn't a pokemon game, but: Back in the day, my best friend and I were in love with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. We played that game for literally hundreds of hours. So, one day, we were playing a semi-new game, having just started 2 new characters to try out different races. We played for over 5 and a half hours straight without saving, because we were... like, 13, and weren't the smartest. And saving was a very obvious, out-of-the-way choice you had to make, no automatic saving or "do you want to save?" screens between things. We got all the way through a brutally rough dungeon, we were celebrating about it... when the power went out because a bunch of teenagers down the street hit the power lines with some fireworks on the 4th of July and put the entire neighborhood into a blackout. We were -devastated.-

    I have a few stories.
    1. The very first pokemon game I ever got was Gold. I distinctly remember getting it alongside a purple Gameboy Color (both of which I still have) from a yard sale or something. When I got it, the previous owner showed me a bit of how to play. During this time, they showed me the Boxes and how they worked... I may or may not have accidentally released a few pokemon before their very eyes. Thankfully, I was getting the game and was gonna start a new game anyways, so I hope I didn't traumatize them.
    2. With that game, I had gotten all the way to Claire's Gym in Blackthorn. Fun Fact: Gameboy cartridges have batteries in them meant for holding saves. Mine ran out.
    3. Later on, I started playing Emerald. At some point, I found a golden pupper. Confused as to why it was yellow, I simply ran away, not sure what else to do.
    4. A long time later, I was playing through Moon, and I accidentally threw my master ball at a Salandit. Thankfully, this has a happy ending, as I did close the game and turn it back on so I would have it.
    5. There was a point where I got extremely lucky and hatched a Shiny Eevee in like 3 or 4 eggs, which I was hatching just to get the rest of the Eeveelutions. After that, I went on an Eevee hatching spree, and got I want to say 3-4 boxes full. I decided that I'd evolve all of them, learned the two heighest stats of each eeveelution, and would decide which eeveelution an eevee would evolve into by looking at their IV's through the Judge thing, putting eventual Espeons, Umbreons, and Sylveons in the springs as well as my shiny. One day, I saw my sister playing on my game, and looking at the boxes, I saw a bunch of Eevees missing, and thought she had released them. Thankfully, I eventually realized that they were just in the Hot Springs.

    My earliest childhood mistake, which to be fair, I was told this by someone else and I knew nothing of Pokemon at the time, was thinking the little green caterpillar (Caterpie) was able to shapeshift into any other creature.
    At the time, Pokemon was still revatively new, it had only been released a couple of months prior, and I had no concept of Pokemon Evolution. I remember being so frustrated when I couldn't get the damn thing to change into anything, which led to a mix of excitement when it finally turned into a Metapod, and disappointment when that wasn't what I wanted it to turn into. I spend countless hours trying to figure out how to make it change into something else, eventually concluding that it was random and boxed it.
    I don't remember who told me this, or whether he himself actually believed this or was just lying to me, but this has cemented itself into my brain even after all these years.

    Don't worry Michael, you're not alone in that last one. Before playing pokemon, I had various Zelda games. None of them were on gameboy but they all had multiple save file slots. So when I saw the "Continue" and then "New Game" directly below it I thought, like the Zelda games, the New Game slot was a separate game slot all it's own.
    So I have saved over old game progress while having beaten through up til the last gym. Genius me decided I wanted to try doing a separate run using a different starter than my first game, because I was almost at the end of my first game and wanted to see if making different choices changed anything. So imagine my surprise when I went back to try and play my other save to discover that it wasn't there.
    I booted up my game and saw "Continue" and "New Game" and thought to myself, "Why didn't my second play through save? I swear I saved my progress." And then, slight disappointment turned to horror when I logged on to my "old" save to discover that, no... it did save. And all my progress of the first play through was gone.
    I learned a very important lesson that day lol.

It put me back to when May/Brendan teaches you about the tails in the grass. TURNS OUT I ONLY SAVED THEN AND NEVER AGAIN. I just relied on turning my 2ds into sleep mode and plugging it in instead of saving. I got so mad I hid the cartridge and forgot where I put it. I only found it a couple months ago.

    One of my bigger mistakes were
    1: not being warned about only 1 save file in pokemon black 2, I had attempted to make a new save file because I couldn't beat the champion, can't remember why
    2: resetting save files, I wish I could go and see my level 100 vileplume again D:

    I am actually glad I am completely over with these mistakes. But I slightly still have that 'non-damaging moves syndrome' in my blood.
    Edit: Also I get it about the moves having secondary effects but I do still use Leech seed, Coil for my Serperior, Calm mind for my Psychic types and also used Hone claws & Power trip Corviknight in my Shield playthrough. There are more I am misremembering.

      There’s enough damaging moves with useful secondary effects nowadays that they aren’t always necessary in playthroughs… like, why would I put a move on my Skeledirge that buffs its special attack when Torch Song already does that while also doing damage 😅

    Out of all of these mistakes, the one I was not expecting to hear is MandJTV reset a beloved Ruby file in order to get all the starters in Sapphire.
    I, too, used to reset my older save files. From White, to Omega Ruby, I used to reset the games whenever I wanted to replay. The most painful realization of mine was when I had gained and lost my first ever shiny in White from that same reasoning. I found a shiny Liepard in a double battle with its non-shiny variant, caught it, and put it in a box. Sometime down the line, I reset the game because I just wanted to restart and replay the story with N. And to this very day, I still have yet to reclaim that shiny liepard....

    I made almost every mistake (except the last one, the starter deleting one and the ones not listed) on top of some others but my first few playthroughs were the worst. Mistakes included were Thinking Normal was Super Effective against Ghost because Ghost did nothing to Normal, Backtracking like crazy due to not knowing what Fly did, Having a Level 91 Samurott with Cut because I didn't know how to delete it, Thinking Evolution was luck based and could stop randomly when really I pressed B without knowing what it did, Thinking Throh evolved into Sawk, Thinking Gurdurr evolved by Level Up until it got past Level 60 and didn't, Thinking Pikachu was powerful and obtainable in Gen 5 then using it in Gen 6 because of the Anime, Thinking tons of Pokemon were stronger or weaker then they were because of Pokemon Conquest and worst of all Losing to Diantha and to this day I have no idea how that happened.

    My mistake was sending my first Bibarical on the Wonder Trade in Ultra Sun. I know it’s a hated Mon, but I loved it and feel nostalgic for it. I miss it a lot even though I probably wouldn’t look at it much nowadays because of transitioning, and you not being able to change the trainer names.

    I don’t know if I would consider this dumb because I’ve seen it happen to people much older than I was. But I was playing through pokemon black on a computer emulator and accidentally loaded a save state by pressing F5 thinking it would mute the game. I mean it has the volume symbol crossed out. But it loaded a save state from all the way back at the dreamyard. I was about to go to the elite four. I couldn’t live with the fact that 90% of my save data had been lost and half my team essentially dead. So I deleted the save file. To this day I still haven’t finished a playthrough of Pokemon black although this was only like a year ago. Yes, a year ago.

    There are many times I have thought a pokemon was a certain type, only to be proven wrong. Some examples I remember are thinking Glalie is Ice/Dark, Suicune is Water/Ice (I'm sure that one is understandable) and thinking Wailord is Water/Flying. Probably the most egregious example though is thinking Empoleon is Ice/Steel rather than Water/Steel.

    • @Agvarst0517
      @Agvarst0517 14 днів тому +1

      To be fair, those are valid typings they could be. Warlord is based off a blimp, what do you mean it's not flying type.

    • @robertlupa8273
      @robertlupa8273 14 днів тому +1

      Glalie should totally be Ice/Dark or maybe Ice/Rock since its dex entries state that its body is made of rock covered by a protective layer of ice.

    • @awesomelink2347
      @awesomelink2347 14 днів тому +1

      I used to constantly make the mistake sometimes that Pokémon having typings that only their evos have, like I thought Staryu was Water/Psychic and Seel was Water/Ice. And yes I always keep thinking the Psyduck line is part Psychic (IT SHOULD BE) and that Wobbuffet is part Water.

    "In case you don't know, physical moves involve physical strikes, usually with the Pokemon's body and special moves tend to be ranged energy-related attacks"
    And then you have those fringe cases where an attack is physical, but doesn't make contact with the opponent, similar to a special attack. One example of this third case is Earthquake.
    Edit: I choose to believe accuracy on moves is how obvious the move's "tell" is. The lower the move's accuracy, the more obvious the "tell" and thus the easier it is to dodge. Tackle? Not very obvious, so it has 95% accuracy. Zap Cannon? Very obvious, so it has only 50% accuracy. Horn Drill? So obvious you'd practically need to be blind to miss it, so 30% accuracy.
