This has probably already been mentioned but - I thought using a leaf stone on Eevee would evolve it into a grass type Pokemon.

I used to believe that of you held down A+B+Down Button the pokeball would work like an ultra ball.

Let's see - in Ruby, I had Swampert, Wailord, and Azumarill on the same team.

...I don't see how that is something you thought was true only to later realize it wasn't true.

The myth that if you breed Latias and Latios that you'd get an offspring.

@Nytz: I used to think that we could breed Latias and Latios to get a green Lati.

Thanks to you, this post made me want to play through Diamond more now.
That's a good thing, I already wanted to play through it.

I don't exactly know why, but simply reading your sentence gave me a sudden urge to play through Diamond.

I used to have these Popsicle Pokemon things that for some reason, I thought if I put them in a TV Pokemon would come out. I was like, 7.

Thankfully I never tried it.

-Back in Ruby, I used to mash buttons when I would throw the Pokeball. Thinking it would make a difference.
-I thought you weren't supposed to catch Legendary's, but instead tame them by killing them.

^ oh god xD I used to do this. I thought legendaries were like mini-bosses that had to be defeated.

I thought this stuff was true...

Lucario was legendary.
Gary was in B/W.
Ho-oh back in G/S/C was invincible, and you couldn't kill it or capture it.
Magikarp didn't evolve.
The Articuno in the Seafoam Islands in R/B/Y was actually a pidgey someone abandoned in those cold, dark caves. (We'll take care of you, lil' pidgey! Don't worry! D: )
I thought the blastoise on my brother's blue version cartridge (The one on the outside) would come to life if I put it in water. I put it in the fish tank. (It still works!)

*Hint that most of these things include my brother, because I was so easily convinced and he loved teasing me like that.*
I used to think that you could evolve Eevee into Glaceon or Leafeon using the stones. I had no idea about the two rocks.
My brother had once convinced me that Bowser was a Pokémon and that he was called the Donkey Pokémon. :I
My brother also told me that he once fought a Lucario by the name of "Lucaria"... ._.
I thought that Bronzong was legendary and I almost used a Master Ball on it.
I believed that Angeallen was real.
When there were only 151 Pokémon, my brother, again, convinced me that MissingNo was Pokémon 152 and that it was a super rare and special Pokémon and you could only encounter it once and attempt to catch it once. If you failed to catch it, you could never try again.

That when the rocket launches successfully 386 times in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald you would get invited to go on it and crash land on to the moon and find a Jirachi and A Deoxys....

Before I got in to Unova, that most of the Pokémon which were clever references to those of previous generations were actually evolutions. Like Bouffalant was just Tauros with an afro. Taurafros.

My friend told me that in RSE that your Pokemon could actually DIE, and a funeral would be held at Lilicove City.

My friend also told me that you could go to Kanto in RSE by some link-cable stuff with RBY (Yeah...not FR and LG.) and travel around as an 8-bit version of the protagonist from RSE.

My brother told me Up + A would increase the chances of a successful capture (and even after I knew that was false, I still do it).

A bad egg would hatch into Lugia after a month in real time(and my friend gave me loads of those things).

Everything I used to think back in the day (that turned out to be wrong):
  • Farfetch'd evolved into Doduo.
  • Geodude evolved into Onix.
  • Haunter evolved by level-up (I leveled up one to the late 50s-early 60s before I finally gave up).
  • Steel was weak to Water.
  • Tombstone was an actual move.
You mean to tell me that the music in Lavender Town DIDN'T cause people to kill themselves? You just blew my mind bro.

I thought that when you try to catch a Pokémon, there were a series of buttons you had to press in time to increase your chances of catching the Pokémon. I know it may not be true, but I still seem to do it. =w=

My friend told me, that he had the rarest Pokemon card ('Americana') hidden in the walls of his house. I can't believe that I believed him...
