ITT: we talk about our most retarded pokemon experiences

I'll start, fair warning though I'm unsure how much of this is true since most of this was told by my older brother, but I do have minor memories of some of these bits.

>be me
>be 7 years old
>brother owned pokemon emerald
>bitch up a storm about how i wanted pokemon emerald
>unfortunate pushover mother gets me a pokemon game
>"What pokemon game do you want, anon?"
>"I want the green one."
>bewildered mother buys me pokemon leaf green
>fuck
>yes
>immediately bust out my gameboy advanced to play pokemon
>pick bulbasaur because it was on the cover
>name bulbasaur dinosaur because am original
>because i didn't really understand how the game worked i only used two pokemon
>only used a venasaur and a rattata that i REFUSED to evolve
>only taught laser beam moves to my venasaur (ie. solar beam, hyper beam ect.)
>rattata only knew quick attack, ice moves, and fire moves
>since i didn't understand how items in the game work i didn't buy anything
>when i got to the town with the safari in it i was convinced i could sell pokemon
>by this point my older brother taught me how to catch pokemon but i still only used a rattata and a venasaur
>with help from my older brother i somehow manage to beat the elite four
>mfw i learned i somehow managed to beat pokemon leaf green using only a venasaur
>mfw i thought i could sell pokemon

anyone else realize they were a major retard when they were younger?
