What misconceptions did you have about pokemon types when you were younger? I used to think caterpie was bug/grass, then later bug/normal

I used to think Ghost was weak to Normal and Fighting after Odor Sleuth/Foresight was used on it. Because young me used a Fighting attack on a Sableye after Foresight and didn't realize it was the Dark-type taking the damage.

I thought pokemon could only have 1 type in gen 1. Kind of blame the anime. I just assumed rock was also immune to electric, I didn't pay too much attention to types, etc.

The first pokemon I realized was two types was chinchao when they blatantly stated it being electric/water in the anime

I thought water resisted ground/rock, and that steel resisted electric/water. Not sure why I thought that about the latter, I guess I just assumed steel resisted everything when I was little.

Took me the longest time to figure out shuckle and Cradily actually had weaknesses
>Fire right? wait it's not weak to that because of rock
>They're rock types, I'll use grass. Fuck
>ground? no that's neutral too
>bugs and grass don't like flying right? but they're part rock

At this point I'm getting desperate and for some reason so I just defaulted to using ice type attacks on both since it was SE on cradily at least. I never really kept around steel moves in Gen 3-4 and Cradily being grass made me never try water on either of them.

I started out with the trading cards so I hadn't realized bug, fighting, ground, poison, ice, ghost, etc. were types.

It was really confusing in Gen III with Roxanne followed by Brawly. I assumed water would be SE against his Machop.

Also, when I got back into Pokemon years later, I assumed Empoleon was Ice type, Luxray was Dark, and Lucario was Psychic.

It also took me A LOT of time to figure out bug was super effective against dark.

I used to think rock resists bug because leach life was NVE on geodudes. only later i learned that g1 leach life was normal type.

but seriously, why is bug weak against fight but normal against rock?

Also Bug isn't weak to Fighting, Fighting just resists it.
