My first experience was when I unintentionally stole the game from one of my friends (and then later less intentionally). It was Ruby and I loved the hell out of it even though I had no clue how to play.
I started with Treecko, who I cleverly named KO, and used him to oneshot everything because "he's able to kill this thing, why would I swap into something weaker?" Somehow I made it to the later end of the game using this method, until I ran into Wally and his Altaria that Flamethrower'd me to death, and my level 15 and 20 pokemon didn't stand a chance. I got frustrated and sold the game.
My first shiny was technically a Roselia when I went back to play Emerald for some nostalgia. My idiot brain, though, thought shinies were only in newer games, so I was confused why this Roselia had different colored roses. I killed it and said out loud to my friend "I think that Roselia looked weird."
