When did you stop using items in battle?

When I realized it wasn't allowed in battles against other people. So probably when I was 7 or 8, in Blue or Crystal.

You can battle people in this game?

>First stage: ESL didn't know about them just killed everything with my fire starter
>second stage: use them and cheese bosses with revives and potions
>third stage: don't use them because it's never necessary
>final stage: only use x items to do speedrunner tier shit

I haven't.
I don't X and avoid healing bench mons against other trainers (healing the active one is fair game), but I'll still whip 'em out freely on a legendary.

When I decided to play USUM.
Then I took that concept and applied it to my Shitmon playthrough of the entire mainline series.

Held items are still ok

I only buy Moomoo milks and Lava cookies.
Cheaper and more efficient than Full Restores/Full Heals + Hyper Potions.
I only use X items to raise friendship.
As for pokedolls, it gathers more dust in my bag than in my decorations.

You can use items???

As a kid, but I used some at the e4 and against the champion
