What's the most embarrassing thing you used to believe about the Pokémon games?

I somehow made myself believe that it was possible for the characters to journey to Johto or Kanto in the GBA games. I was admittedly pretty gullible when I was around 9-10, when the Ruby/Sapphire games came out. A classmate told me that he knew of a way he could get my trainer in my Pokemon Sapphire game to Johto...on the condition that I lend him my game. Without even questioning it, I did so, and the next day reality hit me in the face: He had lied to me. There was no way to go to Johto in the GBA games, and he traded my three strongest Pokemon: Blaziken, Kyogre, and Pikachu, into his own game. Upon learning this, I was pissed, and I didn't tell my parents about it because I was extremely ashamed of myself. I relented after my mother pressed me about it, but unfortunately, nothing could be done. It wound up not mattering much in the long run because I wound up losing my first copy of Sapphire. Thankfully, I managed to assuage this memory years later when Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire came out.
 
It wasn't until literally this year that I found out Geodude doesn't evolve into Onix. I feel crazy, but like, you can see it, right? A bunch of those little dudes connecting together and shedding their arms? Surely I'm not the only one who thought this, adsljkf
