My classic childhood blunder is my use of the Master Ball. It wasn't clear to me that there was only one (1) of these things in existence, and I blame that solely on the fact that 1) this was my first Pokémon game and 2) this game included different ball types a la apricorn conversion, which you CAN make more and more of. I'm curious what the dialogue was from Elm upon receiving it...

"The Master Ball is the best! It's the ultimate Ball! It'll catch any Pokémon without fail. It's given only to recognized Pokémon researchers. I think you can make much better use of it than I can, <player>!"

Yeah, idk, maybe I don't blame my younger self as much for thinking there might be more than just that one based on that dialogue. The only exclusivity indication it gives is that it specifically says "ball" and not "balls". Otherwise, to me it reads as "you can only obtain these once you're very good at the game".

Anyway I used it on a really tough Ursaring I was trying to catch but failing to. LOL
