I used a Master Ball on a Munchlax in SM because it didn't get into the other balls. I think I almost ran out of balls that time? I also didn't know the difference between friendship and affection so I got mad when it didn't evolve and put it into the box and it hasn't got out to this day (I don't even remember if I deleted the save data on that playthrough).

I figured it out when I got a Riolu though and kept going to Malasada shops and Konikoni (to raise its friendship and check how close I am to evolving it). I think it was funny.

    I don't like commenting on my own discussions, but I forgot to mention that I didn't want to just run and buy better Pokéballs because it took me ages to find the thing.

    Why do I always type without thinking :|

    Teaching a Pokémon Dig in older games usually forces me to go through the same cave multiple times, because I will inevitably accidentally select it when trying to switch or check the stats of the Pokémon with Dig in a hurry.

    I have just been doing a BW playthrough and bumped into this very issue.

    Trying to get a Charizard-Class curry. Wasted so many ingredients but I’ve never gotten it.

    My first ever game was Ultra Sun. Eventually in my infinite wisdom i found on the internet how to delete your save data. It stuck in my mind for a while and eventually I got slightly bored and deleted my save file (I didn't know anything like bank existed at that point). I regret such a thing because I had just erased an absolutely HUGE chunk of my childhood. I still regret such a thing to this day. Although it led me to find out how much more I like Decidueye than Incineroar.

    This happened recently. My Mew ran out of PP during the last Elite Four match in Emerald. Used Struggle to defeat Milotic. My mistake was not having enough Ethers.

    My worst mistake was getting rid of a legitimate gba shiny cerebi because I thought it was duped.

    I didn't know the post-games existed, so I deleted all of my Sword&Shield progress after becoming champion

    I accidentally killed a shiny Hawlucha, because I thought some move (I can't remember which one) didn't kill, like Smart Strike. (I think Smart Strike does that.)
