The Top 10 Mistakes that New Pokemon Trainers Make
02. Forgetting to Save the Game
One of the basic features of the Pokemon games is their save-anytime, save-anywhere ability. Where a lot of RPGs leave the player forced to work between checkpoint saves, or only allow them to save at specific key locations like save-terminals, Pokemon trainers can simply tap 'X' to open the main menu and d-pad down to save their game.
But therein lies the rub. You see the game does not save FOR you, you have to save the game. And a lot of new players forget that.
The reason that this one landed at the Number 1 Slot is simple: Nothing sucks worse than to spend a few hours playing, making excellent progress, and capturing lots of Pokemon only to lose ALL of that progress when you shut off the power and close your 3DS without thinking about it!
What is worse is that if your 3DS battery dies on you its the same result - you lost your progress.The best fix for this problem is to develop a solid habit of saving the game in set locations. For example what we do is whenever we visit a Pokemon Center on the way out when we step in the center of the Poke Ball that is tiled into the floor we save. Always.
Another habit to build is to always save before going into a major battle. Still another we have heard from other trainers is to always save whenever you shift zones.
When you apply these habits to your game consistently you will find that you never lose progress - and to make that doubly sure, add always and religiously saving before quitting!
ash is WAY dumb. he catches like 10 pokemon per generation has caught no ledgendarys only shiny is a shiny noctowl lets pokemon go for no reason or stupid reasons and can never reconize team rocket.
I only keep my pokemon that i use in battle and AFTER i defeat the champion i return to these areas to catch the pokemon there!You won't die of You don't catch them immidiately sheeeesh!

Half of this stuff is stuff that people figure out while playing the game, and the other half is telling people that there's only one way to play this game, and if you don't play that way you're wrong...
Psychic cant touch dark type not the other way around
Wait... people don't heal their pokemon at a pokecenter often? Why? I heal up almost religiously whenever I can and whenever I see a pokecenter. This is like pokemon 101 right here. If you don't realize you should heal up early and often, then there is no hope for you. I mean, I am pretty sure a NPC tells you this at the very beginning of each game.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having an HM slave, or in the later games, 2 HMs slaves in your party at once. This article is talking about not being able to use them in combat... You are completely missing the point of the HM slave then. You are NOT SUPPOSE to use them in combat. They are on your team to take up the crappy HMs that you need to successfully navigate the world without making a main battle oriented pokemon learn them. I don't know of any good HMs for use in combat... maybe Surf? Why would anyone even want to use an HM slave in battle? I don't get it.
I rarely have HM slave exactly because they can't be used in battles. You have to carry them around, and that makes you lose one slot in your team. Most of the time I bitterly and painfully sacrificed a move from the pokemon I considered as weakest in my team and squeezed in the most commonly needed HM. If more than one is needed, I'll just sacrifice another move from another pokemon. Really not that bad, since I still get to keep my full team.
1. Toxic is WAY worse than a burn...
2. A burn also halves your attack stat...
3. Your pokemon still defend's while frozen...
4. Most of these could be switched out of, which is a huge factor in the game...
5. Pokemon fall asleep immediately, not after a turn, unless Yawned at...

Page five says psychic is immune to dark,I know you meant the other way around but it might need to be fixed
Who is this avalanche of knowledge meant for? The people new to pokemon who hate reading the manual and/or in game tutorial bits? You think they're gonna read all of this instead? I'M failrly interested and even gave up after just one page.
Half of this stuff is something that should be bleeding obvious and the other half is best (and most fun) to find out yourself. "use awakening to wake up your pokemon" "always have enough antidotes" wow thanks.
Well, I fit in to a lot of these categories, and now I'm going to change my ways, so it worked for me. The weird thing is, I'm not competitive, but I have been playing for like three years.
While playing Pokemon FireRed, I found that the Best HM Slave is Rhydon (IDK The Number) which can learn Cut, Surf, RockSmash, Strength, and a few other HMs. And the Rhyhorns are easily available in the Safari Zone, which can be levelled up quite easikly, and that nmakes it easy to obtain. My Rhydon has Surf, Cut, Rock Smash, and STrength, which makes it quite good in battle too!
That is not at all good in battle. Its only move that it can actually use for damage is Strength. Rhydon is actually a pretty good Pokemon, though, it would be more than worth training one for real.
