This but only because I have never played emerald or sinnoh until recently. I am 32 and barely getting to play them. Hard to learn that torkoal is not fire rock, it looks like one.

You know that anime episode where Ash's Bulbasaur is sent back to Oak's lab to stop Pokemon there fighting?

Someone at school told me that Bulbasaur didn't avoid the falling rock in the Japanese version of the episode, and that's why Bulbasaur couldn't come back to Ash's team.

Pokemon cards used to mess with my head since I got them before I got games or understood the anime as anything more than seeing pokemon.

I matched Pokemon type-advantages intuitively rather than by the actual types, so the species they were based on or their general nature took priority over their type.
i.e. Pidgeotto should be really strong against Pikachu, because birds eat mice. No accounting for Flying being weak to Electric.

It worked surprisingly well, except I got Electric-v-Water matchups backwards. My thinking was that since electrical devices break when wet, Electric Pokemon would be destroyed by water types. It never occurred to me that things in water get electrocuted.

When I was a kid someone gave me a holographic Mewtwo Pokemon card. It was the only TCG card I had. Then some months later someone else came to my house and I showed them my Mewtwo. They convinced me that I should trade it for this Pokemon card they had, a Donphan. But it wasn't even a Donphan TCG card, it was just some promotional thing for the Pokemon movie. They convinced me that the card was usable for TCG. I traded the holographic Mewtwo away with relish.

Poor old Mewtwo card. I'm sorry I was dumb.

I think back then Rainbow type isn't too far of a reach for a kid to believe in. As a kid I watched the anime, played the games, and bought the cards. I remember when Rainbow Energy cards were released. I could see the connection thinking there would be a rainbow type.

My first pokémon game was Ruby when I was 12 years old. I remember I chose Mudkip and when I had the chance to teach it Surf I did so. For a long while Surf never failed (I didn't know it had an accuracy of about 95). But then it started to fail a lot. I thought that my Swampert was somehow tired and left it at the day care to rest. After some days, I retrieved it and for the first time checked thoroughly the status and moves section, and I learned that the move was failing because its accuracy, noy because the pokémon got too tired from battling.

When I was maybe 6 I thought shiny Pokemon could be any color, and had planned on having a team of 'rainbow Pikachu' because I was hoping to find a red Pika, blue Pika, etc. I also tried breeding the Red Gyarados with a regular one to get purple Magikarp.

I pressed A-B-A-Select in that order, and Select had to be pressed as the ball opened. I believed it worked for a few years because I caught a bunch of Pokemon in LG's Cerulean Cave with Pokeballs without weakening them.

Anymore it's just a placebo effect for me.
