whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether? (lemmy.one)

As a stupid 7/8 year old I couldn't figure out how to catch pokemon on red/blue. I just figured that if I kept playing the game I'd eventually acquire pokemon(similar to the anime). I wound up playing the entire game with a charizard and nothing else.

It was brutal. Imagine my surprise when my friend showed me his team of 6 pokemon.
