I think any time someone uses final-r in a description of pronunciation, they should also state if their accent is rhotic.
Oh gosh, I thought I was the only one who did that. I kept on trying to find a bike and it wouldn't be found. Similiarly, the first time I was in the moving truck in Sapphire, I was hopelessly confused. Hoenn was difficult for ten-year-old!me.
I distinctly remember trying to catch the Ghost Marowak with a Master Ball, which seemed like a good idea at the time.
Also, in my first game, I named myself AAAAAAA and my rival ANN. :>

When I was first playing R/B I didn't understand the concept of switching boxes, so after one PC box filled up I just started releasing Pokemon. :|
I also started my game over because I got lost in Seafoam Island.
And I thought Onix could fly, because its sprite looked like it was flying to me.
I was like eight if that helps.

About the pronunciations:
If you ask me, it's a potato, potahto kind of thing. I mean, sure, it's going to be a tad annoying hearing some fail kid come along saying Pikachu like "Pike-achoo", but hey, at least we know he's talking about Pikachu and not Rayquaza or something. XD But on the whole Gardevoir debate, I say it like "Gar-duh-vore" (like vore rhyming with gore). I'll leave the French to their toast and let them say "Vwahr" all the like. 'S cool with me. :D
About the topic of being a derpizard:
...Not sure if you can call this idiotic, since it actually worked and I thought of the idea for it, but back in FireRed/LeafGreen, I used a Machoke against Sabrina.
The reason I don't know if it's considered idiotic, is that, yes, Fighting is trumped by Psychic, but Psychic types have (typically) extremely low defense (yes I get Metagross is also Psychic and his defense is probably higher than Spear Pillar ._.), so the Fighting type moves worked pretty well. Sure Machoke took some ouchies, since I think a lot of Fighting types have a low Special Defense, but, hey, it worked. XD Ahahaaa.
Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's done this, but...
When I still had my innocence, I named a crapload of my Pokemon "Horny", because they had horns.
I'd even name several of them that name on accident. Heracross, Rhydon, etc. Then I'd wind up slugging at my enemies with my team of Horny Pokemon, sure, our defense may have been rock solid, but I think we were a bit too fast, our attack kept softening up, and we came to face defeat too early in the battle.
Eehhhhhheheh.

What's wrong with that? On my HG I have a Latias with Whirlpool/Surf/Fly/Cut and Mankey with Strength/Rock Smash/Rock Climb as my HM slaves (Gyarados knows Waterfall), allowing me to have 4 "active" pokemon (including Gyarados).
why would you make latias an hm slave.

Ahem. Shadow Lairon is better.
Not really my fault, but still makes me feel like an idiot.
I was working through Rock Tunnel, and I ran into a shiny mankey which is one of my favorite pokemon, and the first shiny I've ever found, so before catching it, I decided to weaken it, and I OHKOed it with a rattata. A Rattata!! I feel horrible now.

Where to start...
Well, I don't remember who, might've been Flannery, I was against a Magcargo anyway. The sun was blazng, and I had a Fire pokemon with Solarbeam, a Fighting move and Fire Blast (or Flamethrower). We were both on our last pokemon. I could've crushed it with the fighting move or Solarbeam (the sun was strong). But now, I tried using Flamethower because the sun would have made it more powerful. Yeah. 0.25x effectiveness, cue Magcargo using Earthquak or Rock Slide or something and rapes my last pokemon.
Hmmm... On one of my runs on Ruby, due to my annoying brother, I was convinced Groudon was impossible to catch without a Masterball. I didn't get the masterball because the magma hideout sealed. Very stupid. To add to that, I KO'd the Groudon with one Leaf Blade from Sceptile because I thought Groudon was impossible to catch. Ugh.
What else... ah yes, the MAJOR KING OF IDIOTNESS. I was training weaker pokemon in Leaf Green (i'd already completed the game) and at the same time i was Shiny hunting. I had my Masterball with me in case. Anyway, I didnt have Fly and needed to escape the grass as I only had one pokemon left, my weakest which was 10 lvs under the pokemon available in the area, had about 4hp left, and was paralyzed. One step of grass left and a wild pokemon appeared. Didn't know what it was because I senselessly turned off my GBASP. Agggh, so much regret. Because I was convinced it was the legendary pokemon music, not the normal music. I looked online and lo and behold, I just found out you can find the legendary beasts/cats/dogs/gerbils/hamsters/gorillaz/whatevers on Leaf Green. I literally cried (note I had my masterball with me). For weeks I searched for it again, but never did I find it. AGGGHHHHHH. Turns out it would have been Entei, my least favourite beast/cat/dog/gerbil/hamster/gorilla/whatever, so it wasn't too bad (I would have snapped by GBASP in half if it was Raikou)

I used to call them dogs but only because that's what my brother said. :P
I think it would be more of a mixture. Raikou and Entei are definetely based on cats, sabre-tooth tiger and lion. Suicune I think is more of a dog. I just don't see a panther there - I think it looks more like a wolf. Which is why I know just call them by the offical name, the legendary beasts

As old as this debate is, probably the best explanation for the legendary design basis that I've heard is various eastern mythological creatures, such as the Raijin (is this the correct spelling?) That isn't to say that their only inspiration was of those creatures, but I find it's often overlooked in conversations like this.
A friend of mine was level-grinding in Ruby, so she wasn't paying much attention and KO'd a shiny Swablu. She realized this as it fainted. It would have been her first shiny. >:

Also, in RSE, I once thought that putting "[your starter] BALL" as the two-word Dewford phrase made Feebas more common.
