I really love reading this thread. In this current era where you can look up actual reliable information on the games, and rumors get squashed immediately, I feel like outlandish stuff like this has become pretty much non-existent. It's definitely a good thing that there's less misinformation out there now, but I feel like there was something kinda magical about just how many people were convinced stuff like Mewthree and Pokegods were real back in the day based on imagination alone.
As for me, I believed a lot of weird stuff when I was younger, but I think the most embarrassing one is that I had gotten this idea in my head that Absol was extraordinarily rare and hard to find. When I found one in the wild in Emerald I immediately used my Master Ball on it thinking I'd never see another one. I still have it to this day as a monument to how dumb that was.
Also, wow, I can't believe how widespread the "GOTCHA!" thing was back in DPPt days. I thought that was just me but I've heard from countless other people the exact same thing. What was up with that??
