Post stories of your earliest experiences with Pokemon and funny mistakes or misconceptions you had. I'll start:
>Be me, playing Pokemon Emerald for the first time
>Pick Mudkip (who wouldn't?)
>Can't get out of first route because of the guy looking at footprints
>With patchy knowledge about how the game worked, I got the idea that to progress I had to level up Mudkip until he learned surf so I could leave by the water out the northernmost part of the route
>Grind mudkip to level 20 by battling low level poochyenas and zigzagoons
>Still hasn't learned surf
>A friend explained to me how to get out
>Marshtomp is massively overleveled
>Sweep Elite 4 with level 100 Swampert, could only use Struggle by the time I got to Wallace
