10 Hard Video Game Decisions You Immediately Regretted

10. Choosing A Starter - Pokemon

Kicking off with the choice every gamer has made and then regretted - choosing a starter Pokémon.

Picking a starter can be a problem even when all three options are great, because you're always left wondering what could've been with the other two. But what adds to this are two things. Firstly, depending on which game you're playing and which starter you choose, you may find yourself at a disadvantage with the first couple of Gyms, depending on what the first couple of gym types are.

Secondly, even if you pick the best starter Pokémon to have the smoothest experience possible in the first several hours, it is tradition at this point that your rival will gravitate toward whatever your pokemon is weak against, giving the player a hands-on lesson in the Type system.

This shove-into-the-deep-end approach has been a series tradition since the beginning, making sure the player knows off the bat that it doesn't matter what type of Pokémon they have - there is a Pokemon out there that can beat it.
