As a kid in Emerald version, I made sure to trade over a Latias because I love Latias. Now somehow since I was always breeding and doing battles in frontier or with friends and excelling quite a bit, I had a novel idea. Since you know the Latis had genders, and well Latias was female and Latios was male, they obviously can breed right? So you fucking can guess what I did, I stuck the pair of em in the daycare and biked and biked for days on end waiting for that baby Latias egg. Legend says im still waiting for that baby Latias egg to appear
Honestly I blame the Pokedex in part for saying that herds of Latias exist and thinking I would be some badass for somehow hatching a legendary that no one has ever done before. I also thought if I got it it would have Latios' signature move as an egg move, and I would be showing it off in battle and pwning my friends or some shit
Oh and I used to try to go to space a lot for Jirachi/Deoxys on the moon, I was told you had to go in the building on certain hours to find a secret staircase leading to a rocket appeared. Suffice to say that never happened no matter how much I tried for over a YEAR
