In Yellow, I remember thinking that the 'release' option on the PC meant releasing the pokemon from the PC and into my party. By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. Poor Bulbasaur.

First time playing pokemon in my life was when I got to demo my friends Pokemon Blue game. He was in Mount Moon and only had the game a few days. He had a Geodude on his team and I ran into a zubat after taking a few steps. Finally seeing the movelist, I thought Self-Destruct sounded like the best option. He took the game back shortly after realizing what I had done. I think I've always been doomed to failure because of that...

>>17171135 When I was a youngster with Yellow version, Mewtwo was my favorite Pokemon. Still is mostly. So of course, I caught him as soon as possible. When Silver and Gold came out, I got Silver version. I traded my Mewtwo over and upon doing so, noticed the game didn't save after I did. I ended the trade and reset my Yellow version, and now had two Mewtwos. An exciting thought came into my head; I could get an entire team of Mewtwos, and then nothing could ever stop me. So that's how I ended up with an entire team of Mewtwos and then half a pc box of them. Only swapped out when I needed to use an HM one of them couldn't learn.

>>17171307 Yeah, they gave out Genesect at the release of that game, so the fact that he doesn't have much time into the game suggests that it's legit. Trade it to a friend to hold on to it, or wait for Pokebank if you really care about it. I would, event Pokemon can sometimes take fucking years to be released again.

>>17172215 You know that mystery Island in Gen 3?
I was told that you could get a ticket there, and if you took it to the Space Station, you could take a rocket to the moon. On the moon, there would be two routes, left and right. If you follow one, you will find either a Jirachi or a Deoxys, but you could only get one, because when you catch one, you get sent back to Earth.
All those hours in the sea searching for Mirage Island.
All them hours.

When I was a lot younger the first pack of pokemon cards id ever gotten I got a holo kabutops. Cousin at the time said he had an ultra rare card to trade for it and me unknowingly complied. His condition was to not flip it over till he left for home hours away. When he left I flipped it over and it was a mofuckin rattata. I cried when I found that out. Years down the road when I got to high school I come to find out he thought he was superman and got plowed by a train. I believe karma got my back.

>every story is "I CANT READ" and "I CRIED" Jesus fuck why the hell were your parents getting you video games if you couldn't read, or if you cried at stupid shit like that. Were you guys just developmentally retarded babies way past the time when it was appropriate, or did your parents just go "YEAH, THIS TWO YEAR OLD WATCHES A LOT OF THIS SHOW, I'LL JUST BUY THEM THIS STUFF, DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A VIDEO GAME IS"

>>17171192 I did pretty much the same thing, and had a team of five Mewtwos (named Mewtwo, Mewthree, Mewfour, Mewfive and Mewsix) and a Mew.
This seemed perfectly reasonable to me at the time.

>>17172152 I actually conceived an entire fan-fiction in my head, revolving around my character that I had replaced in Lavender Town. Over the years, I actually thought long and hard, to the point where I basically reset the course to have him travel to each city, in a linear order due to certain circumstances.
I never typed a single word of it, because fan-fiction is frowned upon...it would've been good though.

The one thing I solely regret was forgetting to make sure I had room in my Box back in Gen I. Came across Chansey in the Safari Zone and I couldn't catch it because the box was full. Thank GOD they made it so that the box will switch to the next available one when it's full.
