Well, You Thought Wrong

I always think it's Bug/Dark or Bug/Poison. Then I'm always utterly confused as to why my Flamethrower did neutral damage...
 
Personally I always think it's Bug/Dark, but I usually manage to remind myself in time and se Earthquake. However, I made the same mistake of using Flamethrower against the bugger the first time I faced it.
 
I thought Electric was weak against Fire for a short while.

Also, before Emerald came out I was under the impression that Liza and Tate trained Rock-types, because in Ruby they only had a Solrock and a Lunatone. Never mind their telepathy powers. o.o
 
...people think Saturn looks girly? o_O How in the world? Hell, I thought Jupiter was a guy when I first saw her. Maybe I just have a tendency to see androgynous figures as male.
 
When I first started playing, none of my Pokemon had been poisoned until around Mauville (Sapphire was my first owned game), and when it happened I thought my Gameboy had broken. I didn't figure it out for ages. But seriously, that thing is scary. Loud, electronic sound and the game going all fuzzy? ;~;

And I didn't realise you were supposed to use teams for Pokemon; I still find it hard trying to do that now. I was annoyed whenever I got to double battle trainers and couldn't battle them because I only had one Pokemon (I'm assuming I got HM slaves later or something). Having one Pokemon sweep the entire game still seems much easier for me, probably because of that... especially with Torchic, who deliberately learns moves that will help you get past the first couple of games with ease if it's all you use.
 
I did that exact same thing in Gold with Typhlosion. Who needs a team when you have a powerhouse that's 20 levels stronger than everything else?
 
I figured both Saturn and Jupiter correctly the first time. Mars had me thinking for a while, though.

When in doubt, use the character's clothes as evidence to figure their gender. :P
 
Originally I assumed Tucker was a female, most likely due to the Pixie-like appearance. Then I happened to watch the Anime episode he appears in. Tate and Liza both sound like girls' names, so the Anime cleared that up for me too.

When I played my very first Pokémon game, either Gold or Silver (I got both at the same time), I couldn't figure out how to leave the house. Finally I let my one of my parents play and they managed to somehow figure out where to go. Then I decided to go back in, thinking I knew what to do this time. Refer to the topic's title to figure out how that ended.

I also used to stay stuck at Ilex Forest, because I didn't know I had to get Farfetch'd back to its trainer. Ah, I was stuck there for so long I often made new games on the game until I found out what to do by pure luck. Before that, though, I remember training a Spearow until it became Fearow. Then I asked my mom to keep leveling it up through battle while I was in the shower until it learned Fly. (No idea how I remember that, just do.)

And when Ruby and Sapphire came out, I expected to be able to find an Eevee somewhere in the game. You can imagine my disappointment when I learned there was none to be found. I also thought you could go to Johto and Kanto on there.

But to this day I still picture the contest judge Jordan as a girl when I first see him. The rich boy walking sprites just look like girls to me...
 
I used to think that Glalie was Ice/Dark, Huntail Water/Dark, Gorebyss Water/Psychic, and if you caught a shiny, you beat the whole game.
 
For some reason, even now, I keep thinking of Staryu, Psyduck, and Golduck as Water/Psychic Pokemon. I always use Crunch or something on them and go "Why is it doing normal damage D:"
 
...Golduck isn't Water/Psychic?

...They really need to stop giving Psychic and Hypnosis to non-Psychic types. It just confuses me >.<
 
Wait, Tate and Liza aren't girls?

That clears up one thing.

I thought Mars was a guy till the anime came about. *shrugs*
 
I always thought Tate to be a masculine-sounding name...

Nowadays, though, I don't even bother to figure out characters' genders. Just battle them and move on.
 
I still get confused by Gardenia. Yes, she's a girl, but it's hard to tell with the cloak, as the only big difference between non-manly male and non-girly female characters is the size of their chests...and the cloak covers it up.

Oh, and Bugsy is basically the reverse, except he's young and therefore it's even harder to tell.

Not to mention how/why Shedinja knows Rest / Sandstorm..
