>literally until this moment thought those circles on the head were its eyes and the yellow bits were teeth in a goofy mouth
What did you have fucked up notions of, vp?
>>25618864
I had no idea Wobbufett was from gen 2 or Caitlyn was from gen 4 until very recently
>>25618864
YOU MEAN IT'S NOT?!
>>25618886
For the longest time I was convinced Magcargo was from gen 3
>>25618864
you might just be retarded OP. I've never seen those markings as eyes
>>25618886
I thought slugma was gen 3 until today...
>>25618864
>>25618902
>>25618864
Those aren't teeth?
Way to ruin it for me.
>>25618902
I KNOW RIGHT??
I just thought it was a fucking stupid looking mon. Apparently the "teeth" are the eyes. I still have trouble seeing it.
>>25618864
I thought the same thing and apparently so did >>25618902
I think I really like the design now. It looks way better when it doens't look goofy af.
Might actually use one.
>>25618864
>>25618902
>>25618926
>>25618936
>>25618937
Lileep had those eyes. Why do you want it to look derpy?
Did you also subconsciously make Armadlo "cooler" by interpreting the red spots as eyes?
>>25618971
Fuck no, its eyes actually have pupils
>>25618971
That part I never understood. There were cartoony eyeballs on the sides with the stalks
If anything the red look more like nostrils
>>25618971
No, I saw Armadlo normally. It's just that I never took a good look at Cradily.
>>25618864
WHAT THE FUCK
Cradily just became a whole lot more interesting to me. I thought it was the cutest thign ever with its tooth hanging out and those cute eye markings
>>25619001
this
>>25618864
it took me years
YEARS
to realize it's eyes were the yellow circles in the darkness
This is obvious plain as day if you import it into a gamecube or wii title.
>>25618864
I thought those yellow bits were its nostrils, and his eyes were hidden from view behind its big nose.
>>25618971
idk I saw a pic of cradily before I saw lileep and they both looked kinda derpy to me
>>25619034
what the fuck anon
you have me dying of laughter, that's pure gold
>tfw you still don't know what the fuck cradily is suposed to be
I never realized Poliwag's mouth was a mouth, especially since it turns into a nose when it evolves anyway. So I thought it just had a big red nose and the swirl was supposed to look like the "mouth".
>>25619368

>>25619368

BUNCH OF DUMBASSES HOW DOES THOSE YELLOW THINGS ON TOP OF HIS HEAD REMOTELY LOOK LIKE EYES!! AND HOW DO THE YELLOW EYES BELOW EVEN LOOK LIKE TEETH!! HOW! LITERALLY HOW!!!

>>25619555
thought for the longest time that those blue lines on crawdaunt's chest were its mouth ... like, big blue smiling lips
I literally never had that issue
>>25620990
Can't unsee it now.
>>25618864
I really liked this pokémon until I couldn't stop seeing the cocks has its leafs
>>25620990
>the blue stripes are its lips
>no wait, the blue stripes are the inside of its mouth, just like Rayquaza, and the whiter area is its teeth
>no wait, its mouth is the outline of this area; it does have teeth, and they're the red spikes at the bottom of this area
>no just kidding, none of these are its actual mouth, it keeps its real mouth closed all the time
Honestly, I love this gimmick on Crawdaunt,
>>25618864
Expecting Carvahna to have a small mouth like Goldeen - when it appeared in the anime and opened its mouth I about lost it.
And that's when I learned I like some creatures better with their mouths shut.
Just the other day I realized Kyogre has a mouth.
>>25618914
Same here. OP fails
>>25621368
I learned a lot about pokemon mouths/pokemon attributes in general through amie, honestly. Some of which I did not know that I did not want to know.
>>25622776
It's a killer whale, why wouldn't it have a mouth?
>>25618864
One of the most exciting things for me personally when learning of a new gen is finding out what the fossil Pokemon will be. everyone is saying we are due for a mammal/fossil type.. I dont think the region is going to give it to us.
>>25618911
>Maxie never used a Margarco
>>25623042
I just want a saber tooth tiger so i can complete my Zyu Ranger team without including a legendary.
>>25623042
>mammal type confirmed
Torkoal. When I was a lad, I thought they shell was it's head, and the two glowing red bits were it's eyes. I thought it's orange head/neck was it's arm, somehow holding the smoke. Now that I think of it, my childhood mental image of it looked like a crab.
Ah, childhood. What a magical place.
>>25623137
Did you spend your entire childhood high or
>>25623152
More like literally autistic. I though Silcoon and Cascoon were cyclops cocoons, staring at you with a single unblinking, baleful red eye. Only found out otherwise when I played Colo.
>>25623162
To be fair, I didn't realize the "spikes" in their gen 3 sprites were webbing attaching them to shit until I saw them for the first time in XY. Shit took a minute to adjust to.
>>25623162
Eh I thought that about silcoon and cascoon too, dude.
>>25618971
2bh i actually never realised anorith had those eyestalks. Just saw them as antenae or shit
>Didn know Electabuzz, Golem and Magmar were gen 1
>thought Skarmory, Steelix, Wobbufet, Smeargle, Octillery and Slugma were all gen 3
All because they are way to complex and cool to be associated with obsolete 8-bit crap
>thought azurill was gen 2
>thought igglybuff was gen 3
>thought rock climb was rock
>thought baltoy was rock
>thought steelix was rock/steel because rock is kinda onix's main thing
>thought Suicune was ice
>assumed shelgon was gonna be ground and normal or some shit. Mfw dragons
>thought Masquerain was water/bug
>thought goomy was water type
>>25623231
Anon, when did you start playing pokemon?
>>25623246
Two years ago
>>25622725
This, literally thought in RSE that the white teeth were just part of its eyes. It hit me until BW.
Also I thought that cascoon and silcoon were just small round balls with nasty mouths. I realised those were eyes until XY
>>25623246
Last week
>>25623231
Masquerain isn't water bug...?
I thought marill was a gen 1 pokemon. I think the first pokemon movie short confused me.
Also that skarmory was gen 3. I've never caught it in GSC
With only its Gen 3 sprites to go by, I assumed that the line between Hariyama's head and torso was its mouth and it had a bit of orange beard at the end of its chin.
It looks a lot more smug if you parse it thay way.
>>25623288
Nope, for whatever reason they dropped the ball and made it another Bug/Flying.
>>25623162
>I though Silcoon and Cascoon were cyclops cocoons, staring at you with a single unblinking, baleful red eye.
Wait, it's not an eye? Or do they have another eye in the back?
>>25623481
Another eye in back.
WHAT THE FUCK
Wait a second, they had 2 eyes in pinball. Somehow my brain never registered that until now, and I played pinball a thousand times.
I think their lack of those protruding things on their Gen 6 models makes them look weird.
>>25619419
>>25623170
Me too, although i learned about the poliwag mistake when i was still a kid
When ruby/sapphire first came out I thought nosepass was a rock duck. I still think it looks cuter if you imagine the red nose as a beak
Until a few months ago I thought this nigga's name was "Electrive" instead of "Electivire".
>Used to belive Slowbro evolves into Slowking
>Used to belive Pinsir evolves into Heracross
>>25623029
What the heck. I always imagined it didn't have mouth at all.
>>25618864
>>25618902
>underage fags detected
>>25618864
Look at all its dicks though
We all agree on Azumarill beubg a Gen III Pokémon, don't we?
>>25623231
OCTILLERY ISN'T GEN 3 WHAT THE FUCKKK
>>25623137
I thought the same thing. Why are Gen III sprites so prone to these kinds of mistakes?
>>25623231
>being this underage
>>25618886
>>25618911
>>25623231
I somehow forgot Blissy existed and thought it was a gen 4 cross-evo Pokémon when I saw it again.
How I managed that, I have no idea
I thought Sneasel, Mantine and the Slugma line were Gen 3. Somehow I never saw them before then.
>>25618864
I pronounced Omastar as "Oh-Master" until about gen 4
That's the point if the design, I think, and it works.
Best dual typing, best fossil.
>>25619419
IT'S A FUCKING MOUTH? Shit. For the past 17 years I've thought that it's a stupid red nose.
>starmie is part pyschic
I mean, I knew it learned psychic moves but I though it was just like Butterfree or something, not an actual psychic type.
ITT: kindergarten kids learning about pokemon
>>25623513
Don't the spikes show up when they're attacked in ORAS?
For the longest time I though eelektros was pronounced.
Elektros because it is elektro nic.
Instead a pun on eels
My brain is fucking shit holy fuck. Though I cannot be the only one.
I always thought that Wormadam has some sort of decollete, and just recently realized that it's actually a long nose.
>>25625329
Forgot pic.
>>25625361
I can't stop seeing it. That would have been so much better.
>>25623137
>>25624720
There are some retarded people itt but this is like a whole other level
>>25623231
>obsolete 8-bit crap
I'm hoping for your sake that this is one of the stupidest things that you've ever said, but for some reason I doubt it
>>25625361
I just noticed, it's fucking Kilroy.
>>25623352
I thought that his torso was a big nose with a brown tip.
I thought for years that his teeth were coming from his lower jaw.
To be honest I'm still not convinced that they aren't. Gen 1 had a lot of weird art.
>tfw you catch missingno and he deletes some of your party.
I used to think the orange/pink center of Binacle/Barbaracle's face was a clown nose.It's actually smooth, and the brown face is actually a rocky "mask" of sorts. So it's not making an angry face.
>>25624771
Because for some reason lots of gen 2 Pokemon were rare as fuck.
You could only find Mantine on one route past Whirl Islands and it was rare. You could only find Slugma in like one Kanto route and it was rare. You could only find Sneasel in the ice cave and it was rare.
Shit was dumb as fuck. I thought Misdreavus was gen 3 for a while since it's only on Mt. Silver AKA the very last place in the post game.
>>25623948
Since Marill is one of the most iconic gen 2 Pokemon, no?
>>25625707
I looks like they are though. Pokemon art didn't really get standardized until Yellow version
the first time i saw staraptor i thought the white spot on its forehead was an eye, its entire beak was its lower beak, and that the emo feather tuft was its upper beak
>>25625617
Never underestimate the retardation of children. I can't think of any more stupid things I thought about pokemon as a kid, though.
Sad bug, or angry pharaoh?

It seems some people's insecurity cannot allow them to let other's admissions of childhood mistakes go unmocked. I truly pity you, friend.

I don't get it.
One of you's acting like a retard, which is standard for 4chan, and /vp/ in general. But the other one responds like a toned-down edgefag. If it was elaborate bait, kudos, you got me. If that's honestly your posting style, I'd recommend you change it.

Moonman
>>25626850
I know he is. I'm worried about you.
Seriously.
Your above average use of periods, as well as phrases like "shackle your malice" and "I truly pity you, friend" is unusual for regular posts. You may be trying to sound sophisticated, by utilizing uncommonly used phrases and word combinations.
No one seriously sounds sophisticated on 4chan. You can sound honest on 4chan, but not sophisticated. Use words like "like" instead of "such as", drop the emphasis lines, and stop acting snooty.
You'll be surprised at how much it helps.

Mmm, mmm, maybe. It's a personal preference, nothing more. You raise valid points, but it's not overly important.
>>25624750
WHAT THE FUCK
ITS NOT FROM FUCKING GEN 4???
>>25626921
It just makes you stand out on an anonymous messageboard, which really defies the point.
Just keep it in mind.
>>25626926
Nope, Gen II.
>>25626947
It amuses me. So many rustled jimmies.
>>25626926
The only thing Blissey has in common with the other Gen IV cross-gen evos is how orb-like it is. They're all so fucking round and fat.
I thought this was a big ugly tiki mask type thing and not a qt bug
>>25626959
Seriously, it just fits in so well it had me fooled
I had no idea what the hell this thing was supposed to be. Like a walking corn-cauliflower hybrid or something.
I found out last week that mega Tropius doesnt actually exist.
I havent played gen 6 and some fake design was stuck on my head

I keep seeing people post this, but I just can't see it
I never knew Rayquaza had arms.
>>25626911
Stop being retarded
>>25624720
i blame the badly lit GBA screen
Used to think his gloves were his cheeks, and he was blowing them up like a frog.
>>25618864
>>25629492
>>25629466
lol holy shit I love this one
probably pretty obvious, but tentacool/cruel.
Always thought the red bulges were eyes.
I didn't know Forretress wasn't genderless until about 4 minutes ago.
When I first got Ruby, I didn't know Mawile was facing backwards in the front sprite, so I just thought it had a giant thing covering its face and when I saw fanart showing otherwise I was super fucking confused.
Somehow or another I forgot that Lucario had a chest spike and spent two years thinking his chest was facing to the right and not the left.
Also misread the (then Internet myths) about Arceus and thought his name was pronounced Ayy-kree-us
>>25627053
>Kak
>Pidgo
I thought Golurk was Rock type until 10 minutes ago
>>25628315
it's easy to see it if you cover up the beak and pupils
i never knew how to pronounce ratatta until like two years ago
i had always heard it as rata-tatta from everyone i knew grewing up, including kids i didnt even know
what the fuck
I always knew they weren't eyes, but it's incredibly difficult for me to not see them that way.
>>25619023
Wow, it's almost like they forgot as well. Not even looking forward.
>>25630086
It's eyes are on the side of its head. No shit it isn't look forward.
That's why it's weaving side to side like a snake.
>>25628315
I also thought this as a kid. Before the game acually came out
>>25618911
>Chinchou line is from Gen 2
>Igglybuff existing at all
>Yanma is Gen 2
>Misdreavus is Gen 2
>Wobbuffet is Gen 2
>Elekid and Magby existing at all
Honestly I could go on but to this day I still attribute like 30% of all Gen 2 pokemon to Gen 3
angry moon, definitely.
>Phanphy
>Ratatat
>Kyrogue
>Blazekin
>Poliwog
>>25618864
Cradily looks even meaner with its eyes glaring out of its maw, really.
I wish this thing had a better boosting move than curse; it's a really good crappy poke.
>>25621368
>No wait, the blue stripes are the inside of its mouth, just like Rayquaza, and the whiter area is its teeth
Cheese and crackers that would look crazy.
>>25630233
holy shit, i thought that was rattata's name for so long, i'm glad i'm not the only one
>Marshtop
It wasn't until gen5 that I realized it was Marshtomp
>>25618864
holy fuck I can totally see that kek
>>25629497
>>25618864
Hol up hol up.
I get the eye thing, i have always gotten the eye thing.
BUT YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THOSE THINGS ON THE BOTTOM ARE FEET AND A TAIL?
I thought they were like roots or something. Or like a stony pedestal. I though Cradlilys didnt move.
Those things are feet and its build like a dinosaur?
>>25618864
I used to think Lapras had legendary status similar to Dragonite and Tyranitar do to how you only get 1 in the originals, and based on how fucking absurd the requirements are to get it in gen 2.
Like, for real. My first play-through of Crystal, I found it by pure dumb luck. It happen to be a Friday, and I happened to have been exploring Union Cave at the time, for no reason other than I hadn't explored it yet. I saw a weird sprite at the end of a cave, I went up to it, and BOOM! Battle music! A wild LAPRAS appeared!
>Aww Shit. I'm not ready for this.
I was way over-leveled, but luckily lapras is a beast, and I was able to hit it with weak moves. I ended up clutching it out on the last ultraball I had.
And that intense battle is what made me think Lapras had legendary status. To this day, it's still one of my favorite pokemon.
>>25629017
The thing under its chin is the top part of rhydon's chest. Rhyperior is just Rhydon wearing armor/a flak vest.
>>25625707
They are in that pic. Wtf do you think it is now?
>>25625127
I skipped Gen 5, and everytime I saw its name spelled with 2 e's, I thought it was a typo. Had no clue until tonight it's prounounced eel
>Thought Skarmory was Gen 3
>Thought Slugma was Gen 1
>Used to call Kangaskhan "Kanga-shan"
>Used to call Rattata "Rat-a-tat"
>Thought you could only catch one of the legendary birds/Mewtwo in R/B/Y because only the master ball worked on them.
I was not a very clever 7 year old.
>>25627053
>those names
I don't know how to tell you this, but I think you might be a bootleg.
>>25630190
That's because at least 30% of them barely even appeared in gen 2. Some of them only have a 1% encounter rate unless you get a phone call from a certain trainer, some of them are only available in the morning/night, some of them don't even appear in Johto and can only be found in Kanto, some of them only appear with Headbutt, which barely fucking worked, some of them were only available through breeding or trading... You can probably count the Johto pokemon that are actually usable in an ingame run on one hand.
>>25624720
>>25623137
These are the kinds of people who bash things you like, /vp/.
They show their true colours as complete dumbasses.
Before it was put into place, I assumed that the physical/special split was always there from the beginning.
I mean it can't be just me. It seems like basic logic that a punch would be physical and a beam special, regardless of move type.
>Pure Water-type
ITS CLEARLY A PSYCHIC DUCK!
FOR FUCKS SAKE GAMEFREAK
>>25618911
Same here, mainly from Flannery using that line in the games/anime.
>>25626782
I had trouble figuring out where the 'front' was. the back lump/spike thing kind of looked like a nose with the lower one being a chin. This is partly from the way Ash holds it in the anime, I think.
>>25634434
Looks pretty much mono water to me.
>>25618864
I wish they removed the patterns on its head, so I wouldn't have to force myself into seeing its real eyes.
>>25634434

Why
>>25618864
Forgot Azumarill was a Gen 2 mon, thought it was a cross gen evo from gen 3 because Gen 3 was the first time I saw it.
>>25618864
Cradily has multiple dicks around it's neck.
It still looks stupid. I really just hate the tentacles, feel free to hate and whatever, but they look enough like dicks to turn me off from the design. Its anatomy is stupid too. It has stupidly short legs, how does he walk? Fucking retarded. Gen 3 fossils fucking suck.
>>25618971
I didn't see them as eyes either. I thought the black thing is a scalp and the dots were just for decoration. I saw the circles as eyes on Lileep too.
Why is Cradily so cute
>>25635676
>>25635676
you mean why is cradily so lewd
>>25631933
They are indeed roots, but it can probably use them like legs because fictional animal and all.
>>25635602
>It has stupidly short legs, how does he walk?
That's the point, you fucking dunce. It doesn't move. It's sedentary.
>>25623375
Yeah because it learned to fly.
Surskit can't fly, it makes sense for it to gain Flying.
>>25629039
>plant
you ignorant mother fucker
>>25635820
They made Beedrill and Venomoth bug/poison even if they fly, making Masquerain water/bug with levitate would have keep the unique typing instead of giving him a very common one.
I was always mad that Raticate couldn't learn surf despite Rats being great swimmers and it being big enough to ride.
Also it can learn bubblebeam in gen1 which i assumed represented rabid foam and it made sense to me and further tied it to water.
Finally as a kid i assumed they were both normal-poison because Rattata was purple and rat's spread disease.
>>25623733
Oh for fuck sake.
>>25618864
This just means it's design works. Autists can't even see the real head, that's what I call true camouflage.
>>25636987
*its
Some of you are really really dumb
someone post the hitmonchan one where its highlighted, the doduo takes a shit while a togekiss watches on, i can never unsee that one

>Finally as a kid i assumed they were both normal-poison because Rattata was purple and rat's spread disease
That's pretty clever actually, Gamefreak should make a plague rat pokemon
>>25633877
>Thought Skarmory was Gen 3
me too
I can't recall ever even seeing it in Gold, my first encounter was in Sapphire
