Puts rowlet back, rowlet falls.
Pat: ima pretend that didn’t happened
Poor ruffles. Neglected by its owner and having its name changed from rowlet
Sorry forgot how to right it
The dumbest, worst and scariest Pokemon mistake is using a Master Ball to catch a Magikarp.
Oshawott Gaming what if that magikarp was a 6IV hidden ability shiny?
When I was a kid playing yellow and crystal, I always thought stat reducing moves like growl, tail whip, screech, etc, were permanent until I visited a Pokemon center
i though it was permanent for the game even if you went to the pokemon center
Pat gencarelli, that would be a good idea for challenge mode (stat drops only)
You get Mystery Dungeon
@@primarina9812 why not stat ups to? It'd be a neat challenge, having it both ways would make it a lot more interesting
Lol I thought that too
How I almost lost my first Shiny: I found a Shiny Floatzel in Pearl, my first ever Shiny, I was really excited, after catching it and saving, I went to tell my brother about it, and I made the terrible mistake of leaving my DS on the couch... When my brother and I came back, so I could show him the Floatzel, I found my little cousin holding the DS and said "Your game was glitched there was this weird color in your Floatzel, so I released it!" I was on the verge of crying but then he said that he didn't saved the game, I reseted the game and I was back on the save point after I caught Floatzel. I almost fainted that day...
Phew
Holy frick
Active homicide averted
If this happened to me: *Fetus* *Deletus*
if it weren't for me my little brother would not have caught a shiny Murkrow on the first ten minutes of him playing Pokemon go.
"Unlike gen 5 in which there're all bad"
Me: So you have chosen... death
Indeed he has
*fuq gen 5*
Yep gen 5 sucks gen 6 was great
The gen 7 (my favourite gen) starters weren't that great but I liked litten and toracat was fine but somting about pyroar's H A N D S
The other starters kinda sucked
@@radio5637 popplio and primarina are great.
The biggest mistake i made: so when i was and playing Diamond and Pearl for the first time i didn't paid attention to dialogue at the start so i got stuck in the first route because i didn't know that you have to talk to your Mom before the game "starts" lol...
I love you
Noooooo lol feels bad
Hello *AGAIN*
Hahaha did the excact same thing, think i had probably 20 hours on the game or something before i got to route 2
Same but for alpha sapphire I was stuck there for a hour.
When I was younger I was playing a hoenn game, and I picked mudkip, I had already played a hoenn game before, and I knew how mudkip was supposed to look, and I wanted one this time. however this mudkip was purple, I didn’t want a purple mudkip... so I reset the game
That’s a big rip
oof.
Its mostly always mudkip too
crimson houndoom yeah I’ve heard of this happen to other people too, glad it’s not just me, but it’s always mudkip, never heard of it happening with treecko or torchic
@@Studios-ij7gh CandyEvie soft resetted over a Shiny Treecko. Really quickly too.
Back when I was a dumb kid playing Red, I thought I could get multiple master balls in the game. So I used mine on a goldeen. Now, whenever I see a goldeen come out of a master ball in Smash, it hurts a little inside.
So that's why you can get goldeen out of master balls in that game
Think of it as your Goldeen from all those years ago coming back to you.
I thought that back in my first game, white, and I though you could get more, and threw it at a Watchog, and now whenever I see a watchog I just have some personal PTSD
i used a master ball on a level 3 rookidee
At least you can get multiple master balls in sword and shield
I remember my first playthrough of Emerald, back when I was a wee lad. Finished the game, had a Level 94 Swampert I'd grown really attached to...
...and then one day, he didn't get first place in a Contest, and I was so frustrated and disappointed, I shoved my Gameboy in the hands of a friend, telling him to release Swampert and save right afterwards.
And so he did. Instant regret the moment he said "Done".
WOW that's like a gamer rage moment where you break your controller.😑😑😑
The things you do when your mad
My dude...
I was not expecting to feel so sad tonight...
If that’s not modern day society then IDK what it
This was the first comment that hurt reading. Like. Really h u r t
The saddest thing is that u droped rowlet and did not pick it up
pokemon honedge instead he plugged hid discord.

I don't remember doing huge mistakes when i was a beginner in Pokémon. On the other hand, just a few months ago, i was playing X, catched a Shiny Mime Jr. and then forgot to save.
Oof
R.I.P
I killed a shiny pidove in Pokémon black (first time seeing a shiny)
My Biggest Mistake Was In Project Pokémon,I Was Going Through Mount Moon Then I Found A Shiny Geodude Holding A Slowbronite,And My Small Child Brain Just Pressed Run,Then I Cried For One Minute.

Gen 2 starters though..
@@aieza8767 feraligatr is good…
what about green fancy snake though
@@aieza8767 2/3 masterpieces
The dumb mistake I made was walking into the goldenrod gym.
The devil cow
I beat it first try at age 7(I had a female starter)
Exactly always pick a female starter or have a female fighting type just for whitney
@@magster3997 lucky
I killed a shiny Eevee because I thought it was corrupted and had to be killed to be normal again. Now I wake up and slam my head against the wall every morning.
just imagine it would otherwise turn into an espeon
Vito Pompili
Why specifically an espeon
@@idrovepastyourhouse-9385 do me a favor and look up shiny espeon then reply, if you still don't it get after that I'll explain
@@idrovepastyourhouse-9385 *_B O O G E R C A T_*
aAaAaA i love eevee and shiny eevee is my favorite shiny! this makes me cringe!!!
12:40 anyone else notice that in the bottom corner “nazi” was trending in the uk?
oH-
This ANNOYED me the whole time thank you for also noticing this
It was because people were comparing lockdown to nazi Germany, pretty pathetic really
@@CrazyCroconawOHHHHHHH ok
When I was younger, I didn’t know that one MasterBall was the only one u got in the game... I used it on a Pidgey. :,)
Dude hope u caught it
I remember when I was like 7-8yo, I was really into “gotta catch em all”. (Pearl), I was surfing and I found a Tentacruel, I didn't realise I had a Tentacool in the pc, and I didn't know I could evolve it, I ran out of pokeballs after using all my super and honor balls, so I used my masterball on him, never caught them all, and I still regret it
Honor ball?
My dumbest mistakes: My first Pokemon game was Pokemon X and I was speeding throught the text, and apparently your NPC mom tells you to look into the mirror and interact with the mirror to change into your clothes. I didn't know about that, and 5 year old me spent an hour trying to find out how to continue on with the story until I searched it up. Also, I didn't know you could save the game, and thought you had to get through the whole game in one sitting.
Had the same issue except I didn’t know how to save or what it was and whenever my mom told me to do something I’d close the game and I’d have to look at the intro so many times restarting my game until I figured out how to save.
Bro I DID finish X in one sitting
I also didn’t know about saving
9:09 Poor Rowlet.... 😢
i saw that aswell
My joy cons drifted when I was choosing a pokeball to catch a salazzle during a raid. I ended up throwing my masterball
At least you caught it
That's the manufacturer's stupid mistake.
And this is another reason Nintendo needs to fix this
It's not as bad as using it on an Espurr.
That happened to me too, but with a wild normal Glaceon instead
My dumbest mistake was when I played Pokémon X for the first time. I was supposed to travel to the grass type gym but I didn’t know how to get there, so I was stuck in the same area for three months because I didn’t know what a monorail was. Finally, two months later I wondered what would happen if I said yes instead of no. The only reason I said no was because I thought whatever a ‘monorail’ was costed tons of cash. Turns out it was free, and I learned a monorail was actually a train, and I was finally able to get to the next part of the game after five wasted months 🤦♀️
I made a similar mistake when I played X for the first time lol
I was stuck on Route 8 (the one right before the 2nd gym) for a few months because I didn't realize you could hop on the rocks
Dumbest mistake I made, was accidentally running from my first ever shiny (A lumineon)
EmoEspeon why?
@@kidplusgamingkpg8203 it was a misclick, the touch screen on my DS was off and registered that I clicked run
EmoEspeon Olof sorry
EmoEspeon also I dint read the accidently part srry
Must be one of the only people to remember that pokemon
When I was young in Pokemon pearl I threw my master ball at a Bronzong. I was young so cut me some slack lol
@Daniel Lizarraga been there done that XD
Atleast bronzong is a decent pokemon
I threw a master ball at a Pidgey
Primarina its a bit competitive
@@rosalindaperez2566 this is what I did.. but it was a trainers Pidgey
The biggest mistake I’ve made? Turning my Empoleon (in a Nuzlocke, mind you) into my HM Slave
I think my Swampert might have been that in Omega Ruby. Either that or/and my Lapras’s in Y.
Why would you do that?!
Katy Vella: as long as it's not a critical hit
Me:yeah we've all been there
I found a poop colored graverler in Y when I was a kid. I caught it and immediately traded it out cause I thought it would be like giving the other person poop. It is several years later until I revised I traded away a shiny.
What did you get in return cause I got a shiny graveler by wonder trade a couple years ago, what did you send cause I think I got it
It’s been so long, so o don’t remember what I got in return. Plus I deleted my original game of Y
@@RaichuDude2006 well I traded a talonflame and got a shiny graveler so I think I might have gotten yours
@@gochogames1360 that wouldn't be the case, because it already would've evolved into a golem from the first trade
@@amxterxsu138 yea I got a shiny graveler and it evolved into a shiny golem so yes it’s possible
"You've made dumb mistakes like clicking on this video" 😂 I def made VERY dumb mistakes as a kid, still do! Good stuff my man as always
oh god i watched that egg lock earlier and i was in pain but laughing at how silver just ohko'ed itself after all the stuff
I was 8 and killed a shiny Klefki. My 1st shiny ever, killed because it wasn’t “cool enough”.
So you know how some sins are unforgivable?
@@xavierbostwick6191 haha funny
frick i forgot to check twitter and my biggest mistake has to be killing a shiny golbat when i didn't even know what shinies were
9:10 subnoodle was like "no rowlet you can't sit here this is OUR plug moment"
My brother got pokemon red as a 5 year old. And since he hadn’t learned english yet he didn’t know you could capture pokemon and ended up killing everything with his (in the end) level 100 blastoise.
I once released my Zapdos to see if I would get some special candy on Lets Go Pikachu.
@@danamation6480 I know that
Here's something even worse. I released my Mewtwo on Lets Go Eevee to see what I'd get then saved the game. I did it on purpose too. Mewtwo is overrated.
When I was a lot younger I did not know how to save my game so I kept on replaying the first hour of the game😂
Good, i wasn’t alone
@@magster3997 I did this when I first got Sun on Christmas Day. So I sat through ALL the cutscenes and dialogue at least 4 times until my cousin, a Pokémon master in my eyes, taught me how to save. Thank you, I’ll never forget the knowledge he had bestowed upon me
Same with me mate
@@popgoestheweasel3974 same
I did something similar to this. It was when I got my firstly ever pokemon game (platinum) and I got a used one. It already had a save file and I didn't know how to delete it. So I would just start a new game and be unable to save . I would get pretty far even to beating 3rd gym and then my dad would run out of power and I would lose all that progress.
During a nuzlocke, I battled Cafe Master Richard in Hammerlocke right when I got there. I lost four Pokemon...
Imagine being that one guy who missed it because you thought you were supposed to battle him after reaching hammerlocke for your gym badge later in the story
And he screams as you kill all his pokemon
10:49
"And I took that personally"
Gotta appreciate Pat sending out the chikorita love
*"You've made a dumb mistake by clicking on this video!"*
Me: .. *no u* ?
I used a masterball on a solrock in pokemon Ruby
I mean, I think this is a joke and I am probably going to be mocked, but you can't catch Solrock in Sapphire
Why did I write sapphire, I meant ruby.
I caught an oddish with a master ball and i DO NOT regret it
Would you kill a shiny level 100 leafeon for 999M dollars?
@@walkingtowersyndrome Yes because there is barely any difference. If I were to see a shiny Leafeon, but not see the shiny effect, i wouldn't care and kill it and still shiny hunt for it.
9:09 the poor Rowlet just falls and he doesn't even knows.
My dumbest mistake was that I did know much about stats, and when I was playing Silver for the first time, I had leer on Totodile, and it's animation looked as if it's a damaging laser-like move, but it always said that the opposing Pokemon's defense fell. I kept spamming it for a long time, until I realized that after I used it, my Scratch one-shotted the enemy. I was like WHOA! That is so cool!
One of my biggest mistakes from when I first started playing diamond (and ruby) was I thought that the buffer that occurred while you were poisoned was a glitch and my game was broken whenever it happened and restarted every time that happened
Suffice to say, I have played up to Floroma town and Dewford city more times than I can count
I thought this exact thing when i played emerald
I beat Sword with a shiny magikarp. Now my title screen is just me and my golden fish boy.
This isn't a fail... This is a win
4:57 that remembered me a funny story
I was playing Pokémon Emerald with my cousin and all of her Pokémon fainted but not one, a lvl16 magikarp against the Norman's slaking, and you know what happened in the front of my eyes when i said her "This battle is over, you lost, just give up" but Magikarp's tackle did take the slaking out and i am to this day surprised of that magikarp that defeated a Norman's SLAKING WITH A LVL16 MAGIKARP, THATS INSANE!!!
Did something like this happened to you if one of your family or friends?
7:11 When i completed my team in Emerald (while my cousin of the mythical magikarp, was playing too) i had 3 fighting types:
Blaziken (because wasn't any fire types that i like to use
Breloom (because wynaut?)
Hariyama (because i had a hariyama on Pokémon Go that i really liked its strenght)
(This happened in August of 2019 because it wouldn't make any sense to be 2004)
My dumbest mistake was thinking that second seedbomb wouldn't kill the only wild shiny I encountered to this day in 9 years of playing, not knowing about highrolls and lowrolls
You know what my biggest mistake in pokemon is.:
TRADING AWAY MY SHINY HAUNTER AND NOT GETTING IT BACK
Was your trade partner's name Kevin Punt?
@@benjamincooper358 I dont remember because this was back in like 2018
Damn I must of been extra dumb as a kid because I've made a lot of these mistakes 😂😂
When Patterz said “ Some people don’t like Platinum” I gave him a death stare through the screen because I was shocked and he said “ Those people are wrong.” 😂
10:54 HOW DARE YOU SLANDER MY BOI OSHAWOTT
My dumbest mistake is between two things.
The first:
Catching zangoose in a masterball because I didn't have any other pokeballs left and it looked cool
The second (same save file btw) :
I restarted my game with an event meloetta in it.
I mean masterball is acceptable but event meloetta man that hurts
I used to think that GameFreak could look at me through the ds camera so I would sit there in front of the camera and prey for them to give me a good Pokémon encounter....
Lol
patterz became a reaction poketuber and im here for it
The gen 5 starters are actually pretty good, at least in my opinion.
I personally liked gen 5 as a whole.
Snivy best Pokémon
@@snivygreen2216 you are a good person
@@ToSP. why? But thanks for the compliment. Your a good person too.
During my second playthrough of emerald, i rushed through the gyms and was at the 7th gym, forgot to train all my Pokemon and lost 5 of my team during a nuzlocke
One of the mistakes I made was trying to heal with moonlight in a oras nuzlocke and the team aqua grunt had aqua jet on his Carvanha
It wasn"t a mistake more of a unexpected move
Once I accidentally killed a Mewtwo in Ultra Sun, I had a save before it tho.
when he was talking about pokemon games and the animie being strong, that reminded me of how DIRTY they did sudowoodo in the animie
Pog gronk kills wolves now
9:08 Noooo Rowlet fell off a cliff!
In Pokémon X, when I got to dendemille town(to proceed the game and get to the next city you have to ride a Mamoswine through heavy snow), I thought I had to catch a Mamoswine to proceed. So then I caught a Pilowswine, with a masterball, obviously. I then realized that I couldn’t figure out how to evolve it and shortly after evolving it(with some help), I proceed to the next town. It was only after that I beat the game that I realized that I only had to complete some story before that npc lends you his Mamoswine and also I caught that Piloswine after I beat team flare at Frost Cavern.
I restarted my game of Super Mystery Dungeon because I had no Oran Berries or Reviver Seeds left to tackle the Voidlands and I thought there wasn't any ways to get more back at this point in the game, not realizing I could have just gone to Pelliper Island to get more of them.
What about Accidentally pressing the game cartridge or doing something that makes the cartridge come out
Or worse, hitting it in such a way that the game freezes.
Was playin X once, played through like 2 gyms without saving. Decided to find out if taking out the sd card turned off the game
I used master ball on a Metang me looking back it was. A shiny so ok
Fair
Hey Patterrz great video man. So you know how you did that fire red sleeplocke with the different forms. Well if you look at the legendary birds did you notice that they look like their galarian counterparts? Honestly it is amazing
when I first played platinum, I never knew that you had to save. I always thought that it was some sort of journal. So, for the past few months, I kept on repeating the game, over and over again.
Several years ago I traded my first ever shiny, a bunnelby, to my cousins friend for a garbodor, garbodor, of all the Pokémon, garbodor
Hey. I got a Shiny Rockruff in 122 eggs
Cool got mine in my 8th 1
@Isaac Gerow I was hunting Shiny Grookey and am over 2000 eggs. I did Masuda Method and had the Shiny Charm. Still didn't get that Grookey. :(
@Isaac Gerow Hey I finally got the Grookey, someway or the other. I couldn't hatch one of my own, but I was traded a Shiny Grookey Egg during Adrive's Surprise Egg Saturday.
9:07 R.I.P Rowlet. You might be missed
Back in UltraSun, I accidentally used a Roto Boost on my contrary Malamar in two different battles.
Yeah Contrary can be really hard to keep track of sometimes
Spending 60$ on a game with less than 200 pokemon and bad progression and its to easy and its the worst region.
Also everyone who complains about the nat dex stuff. Let's go had 153 pokemon.
I know I’m late but the dumbest mistake I made was that I didn’t know I needed to train my Pokemon and just fight the trainers on my way to the next gym and my Pokemon would be like 10 levels apart. This made me think the plant type gym had the best Pokemon in the entire game.
The biggest mistake I made in pokemon was in Oras. I had completed the 7th gym and thought I had to just go to the 8th gym as I now had dive. I was 8 at the time so I forgot the cutscene and couldn't find the magma base. This lead me to having an over levelled team for when I was finally smart enough to find the base 5 years later. 20 plus hours went down the drain. Thanks Oras. 👍
My biggest mistake was expecting anything good to be revealed in the recent Pokemon Presents
Pat's reaction to my post had me crying LOL
The dumbest thing I ever did was train a Pikachu to level 100 in emerald completely baffled as to why it wouldn't evolve. It wasn't until a couple years later I realized I had to use a thunderstone but my 8yo self thought every pokemon evolved by level up.
Watching Pat videos/streams is never a mistake
Getting all my Pokémon knowledge from Patterrz
10:45
Me a gen 5 lover who would do anything for a oshawott in real life: YOU WOT MATE
Patterrz: the gen 5 starters are bad
Me: ... *what*
Patterrz: except serperior
Me: oh ok 👍
11:03 I didn't realize it until a year ago. I couldn't believe that 5 year I thought it worked
I got stuck on Crasher Wake's gym on SoulSilver for 5 years because I didn't know how to get past the waterfall
Crasher Wake?? On SoulSilver..?
Dumbest Pokémon Mistake I made: When I was playing Pokémon Sun, I encountered a Shiny Yungoos but didn’t know it was a Shiny because its Shiny Animation was a Firework and not a Sparkle so then I accidentally made it faint
Thaddeus Chan noOO
10:45 if you have problems with Whitney and hate her, just have a Bayleef with poison powder (but first a flaffy to paralyse the lum Berry)
And then wait while attacking and it dies, thats why for me Whitney is easy, no problem like everyone says
You know, it’s not just ORAS that allows Potion Misclicks. It’s been doable since Gen 5, BW, I think.
Crystal was my first game ever.
Even at 27, I remember that, at 6, I thought my entire save file.....was on the batteries.
So the very first time my GBC died, I was literally halfway through the Elite Four. And when I told my Mom, she changed the batteries, and I FREAKED out. For about 10-15 min, before she was finally able to at least get through to me long enough for "Just turn it back on!"
And I was SO happy realizing the batteries didn't affect it lol
9:09 R.I.P Rowlet
I’m currently playing through Platinum right now and when the Togepi egg you get from Cynthia hatched, I noticed that it had Hustle and not Serene Grace, so I had reset to see if I could get Serene Grace. Little had I realized that I hadn’t saved at all the entire game and I had to start from the beginning again. (I also had a Brave nature Grotle, which is probably the best nature for a Torterra)
Used a master ball on a booffalant (I think that is the correct spelling)
Patterz: *talks about almost loosing a shiny Graveller to Explosion*
Me: *remembers loosing a shiny Graveller to Explosion in Pearl* Feelsbadman
Literally me, near the end of the last cave in Mt. Coronet before the Spear Pillar!
@Delphi same ;^;
I call that scenario the shiny boom
In my Fire Red version when I was a kid, I used all my money to buy Poke Balls and nothing else, no even potions. Luckily it payed off because that was the first time I ever found a shiny Pokemon (I didn't even know what a shiny Pokemon was at the time). It was a shiny Rattata.
When I was a kid I would only use blue Pokémon so my soul silver team consisted of Feraligatr, Poliwrath, regular Gyarados not the shiny one, articuno and lugia
Used a Master Ball on an Abra in Granite Cave and saved the game many times afterwards. Teleport was just that frustrating for younger me. Another mistake I made was that I used to think Steel was supereffective against Electric types because they could act as lightningrods and conductors and such to disperse electricity. Every time I tried it, I would be thoroughly confused, and although I had suspicions in Gen 3, I didn't realize I was completely wrong until Gen 4.
Rowlet : 9:09 *slow motion * (insert sad music here)
When I first played ORAS, I didn’t save whenever fighting Legendaries, and killed Groudon and other legendaries such as Mesprit (the only one I could remember), and I couldn’t beat the League because I was also under leveled. I only found out about legendaries not respawning after killing them when I was talking with people on the bus. Basically opened up my mind on how to correctly fight legendaries, and I did reset my save file and played through it again, but I won’t forget those mistakes I made
Back when I first played Alpha Sapphire (few years after it came out.) I used the master ball on a plusle which I gladly put on my team and used for the rest of the play through.
Skipped all the text in Moon and couldn’t figure out what to do in the school bit in Melemele
I've probably talked about this before (I know I have in other places), but when I was playing Sapphire as a kid, I had no idea what shiny Pokemon were. I came across a yellow Swablu and thought it had just eaten a special color-changing berry, like those pink Pokemon in the Orange Islands arc of the anime. One of these days, I'm going to shiny hunt for Swablu in a main series game.
When I was younger, I didn't understand that certain moves had stronger/weaker versions of themselves, and that you're supposed to replace the weaker versions with the stronger ones. E.g. Absorb --> Mega Drain --> Giga Drain, I had pokemon who knew all three rather than replacing Absorb with Mega Drain and so on. The worst was when I let a Claydol learn both Self Destruct and Explosion at the same time
You know how the Pokémon Colosseum story was hard? 6 year old me skimmed through the tutorial and thought that the Shadow Pokémon had to be gotten rid of ASAP. I didn’t realize you could catch them and knowing me, I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t want to steal the Pokémon because I would just say, “Stealing is wrong!”. I also think that I was anticipating the appearance of wild Pokémon, which was the reason why I didn’t put two and two together when I got to buy PokeBalls.
Long story short, I beat the entire game with only Umbreon and Espeon, all the while thinking, “Wow! This game is really hard! I can’t wait to catch Pokémon!”
My first pokemon game was Crystal, and because the guy who shows you how to catch pokemon recalled his pokemon before throwing the ball, I was convinced that you had to do that before you were able to catch the pokemon. So I sat there, 6-7 years old, couldn't even read english, and tried to figure out how you recall your pokemon, only to give up, and basically play through the first part of the game with only my Totodile. It wasn't until my cousin showed me how to catch pokemon that I was able to do so
i think that the reason that some people thought psychic was super effective against ghost is because of a glitch in generation one. In gen 1, the only types effective against psychic were ghost and bug, but psychic was immune to ghost because of a glitch. therefore, psychic became almost unstoppable and the fact that the strongest bug types hardly learned ANY bug type moves DID NOT help. That became the reason Sabrina was such a tough gym leader. AND since psychic was STILL strong in gen two even after the addition of the dark type and the fix in the glitch, Lugia was given the psychic type and NOT the water type. so at least they had a good reason to make Lugia psychic-flying and NOT water-flying.
