Things you thought about Pokemon that was wrong!

One time when I was very young, I thought Togepi was going to evolve into a legendary, because it was a Pokémon that was never seen before in the first generation. When Gold and Silver were announced, I thought Togepi would evolve into Lugia. I didn't play a lot of Pokémon at the time, so I was very ignorant.

 

The only misconception I can think of is I once had a Pokémon card (possibly fake) that misspelled Jolteon as Jolteom. But I also had an identical card with Jolteon spelled correctly. I was quite confused for a few years as to what its name actually was!

 

I always thought that 'salamence' was spelt 'salamance' and always pronounced it as such. It was only when I heard someone saying that they always thought it was spelt 'salamance' that I realised I'd been wrong my entire life.

 

I spent ages thinking dragon types had no weakness. (Before Fairy was introduced) I also thought grass types were called plant types. (And to be fair, that still makes more sense to me) I would bring up the whole Arcanine being a legendary thing, but let's face it, I don't think anyone knew that.

 

I used to think before I had any of the games or even knew much about Pokémon I used to think you could either do gyms only or contests only.

 

For several years I though Unown were Legendary Pokémon because of the Entei movie. Then I found out how weak they were in the game. >_>

I also thought Rotom was a Legendary thanks to the battle theme that played when you fought it in Old Chateau. Why you gotta trick me like that Pearl?

 

I thought that I had to somehow throw stones (like Thunder Stones) at Pokémon to evolve them (don't ask) so I used Fling to throw them at Pokémon who could evolve in the hopes that I could then catch the evolved forms.
I don't know how that started. I blame the Internet XD

I always get ground type and rock type confused, so I always think it is ground that birds are what they are weak to. To this day I use ground type moves on immune flying types and get super confused why it didn't work.

 

Luigia... can someone please draw this, I need it

 

Its so perfect, thank you

 

When I was little, I had a book that had pictures of Ash, Dawn, and Brock's adventures in Sinnoh. It basically highlighted episodes and characters.

However, this was at a time when I thought that the anime world and game world were the same. So I would boot up Pearl and ask "Where's Alamos Town? Where's the Jublife Contest Hall? Where's the lake behind the Floroma Town PokeCenter?" Needless to say, I learned the hard way that they are two separate canons. Whoops.

 

I somehow always manage to forget that the Flabébé line is not a grass type. And I always wonder why Fairy attacks are so much stronger
