Well...I dunno... AH! NOW I REMEMBER! In Pokemon Yellow, I didn't know how to open the doors leading to Lt. Surge. I mean, I searched all the trash cans and deactivated all the locks, but I couldn't open the door. A few years later, while playing Pokemon FireRed, I came to the point wherein I had to fight him (LT. Surge). There, I realized I had to press the "A" button while facing the door. I then remembered that when I was playing Pokemon Yellow, I just kept on letting my character walk to the door without pressing the "A" button! That memory seems *quite* funny to me now. :unsure:

Well, in Blue I thought that I could be Ash and actually fight Brock with a Pikachu (and my Charmander...), yeah, I had to turn around and get a Butterfree.Not to mention I took forever in Viridian forest just to GET a pikachu.When I caught a clefairy, and got a moonstone, I didn't know what the moon stone did, so i used it... Clefable get. And then I kept using it, right through the elite 4, thinking it could at least Bubblebeam ghosts to death (or using metrenome, but it usually died.My Raichu knew Thunder, Thunderbolt, Flash, and Payday.And, well, when Iencountered Moltres, I didn't know of the once-only pokemon, and exited the battle in some way, and lost it. ^_^ I didn't want that to happen again, so I used my Masterball on Articuno. And then I couldn't even catch Zapdos! There's still a Mewtwo in my original Blue. He is still there, and probably forever will be, lol. I just traded over my Mewtwo from Yellow.

1) I frickin used my Master Ball on a Stantler. Do you know how embarassing that was? A STANTLER for heaven's sake! I didn't know anything about that ball back then. When I did find out, I was pissed.2) I ran away from a Ho-Oh, and I didn't save it. No chance of capturing it after that.3) I've defeated a Ho-Oh, and I didn't save it. No chance after that either.4) Having Chansey on my team, without looking at its stats. Nearly everything was below 100!'5) Getting all my Pokémon to learn crap moves.6) Not knowing how to open the doors in Lt. Surge's gym.7) Catching the same Pokémon for my collection.Trust me. These were all funny mistakes I've made in the past, but I've learned from these mistakes and now I know how to train my Pokémon properly, capture Pokémon effectively, and defeat enemies swiftly.

I liked my totodile in silver... So I taught him strength, cut, surf, and whirlpool. I then proceeded to level him up to level 91 and then kept losing to lance... And them my friend told me about the cloning glitch. So I then had three level 91 feralgatrs. I used the move deleter to delete whirlpool and teach him ice punch.
