You forgot 1 mistake.
Trusting the anime and sending an el. type against ground types.

Professor elm:y-you are a bit late like 8 hours late

Poketip:yeah sorry I couldn't um find the stairs..

My first shiny was Abra in Pokemon diamond, and seeing that odd colour I simply threw a pokeball and caught it, later realising that it is a very rare Pokemon🥳

[tylerstever]

My most embarrassing mistake when I first started playing 20+ years ago was thinking that the glitch animation that happens out of battle when your Pokémon is poisoned meant your game was broken. I reset probably 5-6 times before I realized that hey no maybe my game isn't busted 🤦‍♂️🤣

My bro was playing ORAS and his first find was a shiny zigzagoon. He was so amazed by the coloring and thought it was a special thing you get at the beginning. He caught it, I’m so proud

Best use of Master Ball in two words:

Shiny Abra

[pgh]

Ok the previous comment was a lie. Idk why, 5 months ago me thought that was a good idea, but my ACTUAL
First shiny was in Ultra Shiny Gold Sigma. When I got the pokeballs to catch a pokemon, the first spinirak I saw was a shiny. I kept it through the whole game

My brother found a shiny golden Poochyena in Pokemon Emerald back in the days. It was the one in the scripted fight where he had to save Prof. Birch all the way in the beginning of the game, so he had no balls to throw at it and he couldn't flee. The game literally made him kill that shiny.

I used my masterball on a Ditto, cause I thought Ditto was a legendary pokemon.

I waited for half an hour to get out of the bed in pokemon moon, then I moved the joy stick and I woke up. I was disappointed in myself

[locorhythm]

When I was around 10, I had just got Emerald and got to the part where you have to save Professor Birch from the wild Zigzagoon in the beginning of the game. It was a shiny. Definitely a devastating moment in my life knowing I couldn’t prevent it’s inevitable fate.

I have an idea where the "mashing A" came from. On the original games, if you entered the casino to gamble, and tapped A to the beat of the music, you almost guaranteed a win every since time. If you don't believe me, try it yourself on yellow, red or blue. The idea of tapping a certain sequence to "win" was probably engrained in people from this experience.

[Stagzy]

When I was younger I tried to catch a gym leaders Pokemon repeatedly not knowing that you can't catch it.

My mistake: Giving all the experience to the starter Pokemon only

[悸]

On me and my brother's FireRed game, he caught a Seel with a masterball, but I also caught a shiny Golbat later on. Still have that shiny Crowbat on my team, and gotta say, the pink looks way better than the green.

[jjonko]

I had a version of pokemon Gold where my starter pokemon and the first two pokemon in the wild were shinies. Back in the day I did not know about shinies. I restarted the game and the same thing happened. Such incredible luck. However I thought the game was glitched so I went back to the store and traded the game for Silver...

[MaineOneV]

I used to think that if you “released” a pokemon they would be able to walk with you and stand around like the NPCs’ pokemons. Man was I wrong.😅

[altaccountbrother]

My biggest mistake: When I couldnt understand English well I didnt know there was a save button so I started 5 milion times over

[sergioruizmoreno]

During one run of Pokémon Diamond, I just got my starter and bought some Poké Balls. I went into the tall grass and encountered a shiny Bidoof. At the time, I had no idea what shinies were or their rarity. Since I always classified Bidoof as an HM mule, I thought, "Why do I want a Bidoof? I already got one with all the HM moves I need." So, I ran away from it. Years later, after learning about shinies, I realized my grave mistake.
