Stupid things you thought were true

I thought I could catch the Marowak Ghost in Yellow. Was so disappointed when I wasn't allowed to :<

In the first gen games, I thought that I could increase the chances of seeing a Pokemon I wanted by opening the Pokedex and playing that Pokemon's cry. Theory was that they'd hear it and think it was one of them or something.

When my Pokemon got hit by a move that was very powerful/super-effective, holding -> on the directional pad will slow how fast their health was falling and sometimes let him hold on in the reds. And I still sometimes do this...old habits die hard I suppose.
 
I used to think that Macargo, Slugma, Laturn and Chinchou orginated in Hoenn instead of Johto. I also never knew Dunsparce existed until I met one in the Battle Frontier. Then I thought that it was a Bug type.

I'm not alone!

Course you're not. I thought that too, adding in Skarmory, Xatu, Natu, and probably more.

...

I didn't get that far in Gold, okay? Or Hoenn, really. I never saw Dunsparce. I couldn't find the Battle Frontier, even though I beat the Elite Four.
 
For some reason I always thought the only way to get Smoochum via breeding was to breed Jynx with Alakazam. Admittedly I haven't actually heard anything to the contrary but I massively doubt this is the case :p
 
when i was little there were some scratchings of what looked like pokemon. it looked like latios,jynx,magby,elekid,and voltorb. I thought if i had all of those in my game, I would get those pokemon in real life!
 
I believed that if you went to the Mossdeep space centre and talked to the guy who told you how much rocket launches there'd been at the very start of an hour then he'd ask you if you wanted to be on the rocket. If you said yes then the rocket would take you to the moon which was full of wild Unown and had a Deoxys at the end.

I also thought that if you had a Japanese version of R/S/E and used Rock Smash on the white rock then a cave would open up that had Jirachi in it.
 
I have never thought a "stupid" thing about a Pokemon game, nor one I thought would be true in any way. So I don't really have anything to share.

Ahh I remember that, but I missed 100 and got to 101 instead =O
 
I used to think Pinsir evolved into Heracross.

I also could've sworn that a Sapphire cartridge said that Glalie was Dark/Ice once.

When I was little, whenever I saw "Geodude's defence rose!" on Pokemon Blue, I used to think that defence rose was some kind of dance/ritual. Also when I was young, whenever a Pokeball failed to catch a wild Pokemon and it said "Aw, looks like it was caught!", I thought it literally was saying that it turned out the Pokemon was caught already, so I'd just flee.
 
Someone told me that if you use Dig in a certain room of the Seafloor Cavern, you'd drop down to a cave with a sign next to a door saying something like "Enter if you dare". If you went in, there would be a bunch of level 90 Pokemon that you could fight or catch, and at the end there would be a Jirachi that would dodge all your Pokeballs except Master Balls. I spent ages digging in every room of that place...

And someone else told me that Charizard evolves into a Pokemon called Charcoil! I Googled it and found more than one site saying that to get Charcoil in Gold, Silver or Crystal you have to catch every single Fire Pokemon and catch only Fire Pokemon. Apparently there was an Electric-type equivalent and one more, maybe a water type.
 
I still occasionally mash a and b and tap the pokeball in the touch screen. :)
I dont remeber much about RSE. except its still my favorite gen, since they were my 1st
 
Okay, this one is REALLY stupid. You know those spiral things on Cradily's head? Yeah, I thought those were its eyes. And I thought its actual eyes were its teeth.
