Pokemon is a game series that has been around for a really long time and because of that, a lot of us have been playing
It since we were kids. If you've ever been around a kid while they're playing a video game, most of the time
They're pretty freakin bad at it
Now Pokemon is not as difficult of a game as a lot of others especially since most of the time it is marketed towards kids
however even so, it still has a lot of complicated aspects of it that a lot of kids and
Sometimes adults as well are likely to screw up
I was feeling somewhat nostalgic earlier
So I decided to make a video counting down the top 10 dumb mistakes
You probably made in one of your first Pokemon games
Now of course not everyone will have made every mistake on this list
I didn't make every mistake on this list , however
I did make some of them
and I think the chances are pretty high that you made at
least one or two of them as well.  Also if you somehow didn't make any
any of the mistakes I list in this video
Then we should probably just bow down and worship you because you must be some sort of inhuman
God because that's extremely impressive and don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Before we dive into the video though let me just take a quick peek to tell you about the sponsor for this video
quidd. Quidd is a brand new app on both ios and Android where you can collect virtual cards stickers and
toys all
For free the cards and stickers you can get are from several different
Fandoms that I know you guys are a part of such as Rick & Morty Game of thrones
regular show
Skyrim Morrowind and much much more
So it gives you a chance to have some cool
Collectibles for things that you normally really wouldn't be able to. Some of the stuff you can find is super Super rare
So you have the chance to find some really exciting things and if you end up with duplicates you have the
Ability to trade items with other users. Essentially it's the fun of collecting Pokemon cards
But with different fandoms, and it's way way cheaper also

Here are the top 10 dumb mistakes you probably made in a Pokemon game number 10?
Using only your starter throughout the entire playthrough this mistake is one that I am guilty of in my first two ever
Pokemon Games ruby and leafgreen I used only my starters sceptile and blastoise respectively throughout the entire playthrough
Now while it is entirely possible to beat a game with just your starter. I have done it
it
still is pretty much considered a mistake in my mind because if you
Run into a elite four member or a gym leader that has an intense type advantage against your starter
Even if you are way over leveled it can still cause some
problems this mistake is one that I think is pretty common since it's just the easier thing to do you just get your starter and
You use it. You don't to worry about catching leveling up any other pokemon
Also, I have heard of people doing this simply by accident because they didn't know you could switch who was the lead in battle number?
9
Teaching a pokemon multiple moves of the same type a lot of times in the anime
Pokemon will know multiple moves of the same type since it gives more variety in the battle sequences
However in the games this is completely unnecessary a blastoise that knows surf
Hydropump Bubblebeam and water gun is a bad
Blastoise coverage moves is something that's really important for a pokemon to have but unfortunately for a lot of people in their first playthroughs
They don't quite realize that and end up just teaching Pokemon several of the same type of moves
Number eight getting stuck at a certain point in the story and ending up with extremely overleveled
Pokemon I've heard many tales of this happening to several different people
At Several different points throughout their journey it happened to me in my first ruby playthrough when I couldn't beat Brawley
So I just grind it in Petalburg woods for a long time and ended up with a level 29 grovyle fighting a level 19
Makuhita I feel like this happened a lot more often to players several years ago
If you didn't have access to the internet or a guidebook, so if you got stuck and didn't know how to progress
What's better to do than just grind your pokemon not really a severe mistake since you're just making your pokemon better
but it does end up making the rest of the game pretty unbalanced number 7 not knowing how to save your game at
All so I never had this issue
Thankfully, but I have heard of several kids just not understanding the concept of saving the game or not knowing how so they would just
Play through the story until their Gameboy ran out of battery
And then would just lose all their progress and have to start over this is a mistake. I'm very thankful
I never made because just playing through and then just having to start all over again knowing that the end was coming
It's just that's just super depressing number 6
Teaching bad a gem moves to strong party members back when atms were around in the main series Games which
Sidenote think helix they got rid of them
It is so much more convenient not that to deal with them
You had to teach them to Pokemon to have in your party in order to progress through a lot of areas in the game
Now while some hM moves like surf and fly are pretty solidly strong moves that are good to have on your party at all time
There are a lot of hm moves that are really weak and bad and should only ever be taught to HM sleaze
However many people don't realize this until it's too late and they end up with a charizard that knows cut
taking up a very valuable move slot that would have been much better to use for a
Stronger attack then this mistake can be corrected if you find the move to leader and are able to delete one of your hM moves
But if in one of your first places, you didn't know this existed, then well
tough luck
number five
Not saving before a legendary battle and then knocking it out
When I first battled grout on my first ever playthrough a ruby version I came up with the idea all by myself
as A
Nine-Year-Old to save before battling Groudon
and then if I screwed up by knocking it out or running out of pokeballs or whatever I would just
Turn the game off and turn it back on again and try again, and it is probably the best thing I've ever come up with
Other than Pokemon talk of course
I was not the only person to come up with this and as a widely-used practice all throughout the world today
However, if you didn't know about that trick as a kid one stray critical hint, and you lost lugia
Forever I don't just say I appreciate that the later games got more forgiving with this since a lot of people probably lost
Legendary's that really they didn't have to and that is
That's so sad number four
releasing a pokemon by accident so torch played pokemon did this many times but I've also heard a lot of stories of
singular people doing this as well
I've never really understood how people can make this mistake because it does warn you several times this pokemon is going to be gone forever
But whatever I guess people just don't pay too much attention to the wording I've also heard several stories of siblings or friends
releasing Pokemon in your games by accident, and that is just
Honestly, maybe this mistake should just be renamed letting someone else play your game number three using the Master ball on a Pokemon
you really should not have used it on so this mistake is a famous one and to not make it is actually one of the
ten commandments of Pokemon number two thou shalt not use a master ball on a tentacle or a rat hat hat
Or any of the sort now
I never
Used a Master ball on something that I should not have because my ruby and sapphire
Guidebook warned me against and said this is the only one you get use it on something good
however some people didn't get that warning and you ended up using it on a pidgey or a
Zigzagoon or a layer on and losing their master ball forever Master ball should only ever be used on roaming
Legendaries, and if there are no roaming legendary's then use them on a legendary that is particularly annoying to catch such as taboo fini
with Aqua ring
I was just getting progressively healthier offering never ends that is a
Bs. Game freak I'm looking at you game Frank. This is Bs. I
Wanted to kill that thing number two running from or knocking out a shiny because you thought it was a glitch
The first Shiny Pokemon I ever encountered was a shiny electrike in my ruby version now
I did fail that shiny because I ran out of pokeballs trying to catch it, but I've heard several stories of people failing shinies
Intentionally because they thought their game was screwed up now
I can't be too harsh on people who make this mistake because well, they did it out of ignorance, but even so my oh
My heart hurts for you. Oh that would suck finding that out later now before we get to the number one spot
There's one honorable mention that I wanted to talk about not because it's a mistake that I think pretty much any of you made
But just because I think it's hilarious I stumbled on this comment on Reddit listen to this on my first playthrough of yellow
I got stuck trying to wake up Snorlax. I tried to use a nugget on it repeatedly
Six-year-old me didn't understand that these nuggets were made of gold and not chicken
It took longer than it should have for me to understand. Why sore legs would not wake up for the delicious chicken nuggets
I was offering it, so
Kudos friend because that's probably the best childhood Pokemon mistake. I've ever heard him number one
Resetting your game for a stupid reason
I know of many people who restarted their save file for a stupid reason and sadly. I am one of them
I restarted my original ruby save file including my first ever Pokemon blade the sceptile and
I did it just
so I could use it to restart it several times and get all three starters on my sapphire version, so
That is regret that haunts me to this day however I have heard of several other reasons for doing this such as thinking the poison
Overworld static stuff was a game glitch thinking you were supposed to be on the ss. And when it departed and
Getting a purple mudkip at the begin of your game thinking
It was a glitch and restarting it that last one could also apply to the number two category, but regardless
It's still horrible there are lots of mistakes that people have made in Pokemon games
But this one is number one because it's definitely the worst because you delete all of your accomplishments
Pokemon
Everything when you really didn't have to so there we have it those are the top 10 dumb mistakes
You probably made in one of your pokemon games
I know this video may have brought up some painful memories for some of you
But just think about the fact that you have learned from those mistakes, and you won't ever make them again. I
Certainly hope so at least what did you think in this video? Do you agree with my list?
What are some other pokemon mistakes that you made and how many of these mistakes?
did you make
