False Swipes is a lifesaver here

35 ultra balls and 2 reloads later...
Evade-tanking a Groudon with a Ninjask?
Classy. First time I played through Ruby, I used an Altaria (stupidly high defense, mediocre offense. Good speed. Perfect for catching anything; even at an elemental weakness), the second time, I cheaped out and used my Spore-whore Breloom.
Actually, it had more to do with the fact that I taught it false-swipes, and didn't really see the need to switch it out.

Liek used mud slap to lower accuracy, and then Ninjask false-swiped him down.

Gotta say I never really bought into most of the Gen 5 gyms. They were awesome, no doubt about it, but come on, you have a gym that depends on jumping off of speeding rollercoasters, journeying to the center of the Earth without any air vents, and shooting yourself out of cannons.

Good stuff, that Mud-Slap.
It took over 2 hours of reloading and retries for me to catch Groudon the first time.
And that was leaving him at critical, and either Paralyzed or Sleep.

The winning run had me throwing over 30 Ultra-Balls at him...ridiculous.

Holy crap I forgot to read this for a while and a ton of new updates came along!
But slightly more on topic, I remember the Wallace gym. I'm just glad the ice wasn't of the sliding variety, or that would have been a lot more annoying.

Question time: Of all the gyms, which one did you find to be the least believable? The idea of this water gym was just so silly, I remember laughing at it when I first played the game
ep 25: can't say I like legendaries to much, but Jirachi, Registeel, and Deoxys have always been useful in competative.

I read the Hobbit and the first 1 & 1/2 lotr books, but I never cared much for the movies. (not really a swords & sorcery books/movie guy.)

I think the most ridiculous gym was Brycen's one (B/W, 7th, ice)in Icirrus city. It's like Pryce's one from GSC, but incredibly large (there are fucking gigantic ice ramps; how do they fit inside.)

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play: Pokemon Ruby Mini-Update 7: In which we cha cha real smooth[/HEADING]​



Ya know, I'm shocked the feds haven't raided this place yet.











So you've got these sliding tiles again?

To the right now



To the left



Take it back now, y'all



One hop this time



























Let's go check out ghost town





No prizes for guessing who we see





Also, no points for guessing that I'm a bit of a fan of Penn and Teller.







Perhaps we can. However, summoning a demigod to do your bidding is NOT a bright idea. That's the moral of the story.





Annnnnnnnnd we won't. We won't ever see this guy again. Ever.

He's gone for good.




I was there. I saw.



Nah, I just thought I'd keep it.



You might want to put them under better security that two old people



We've got 8 badges. Time to head out.











Next time: Victory Road

Off topic question time: Of all the games you played in 2011, which disappointed you the most? For me, it was Dragon Age 2. I liked DA:O, and I thought DA:2 was somewhat enjoyable. But it was a big disappointment to me. So I give it only a 0 on my rating scale (Which goes from -5 to +5). And maybe +1 on a good day.

Also, does anyone know what anime that picture is from?

He got called away on business

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I don't really watch any anime, but I have a basic idea who Rukia Kuchiki is.

I see. That's good to know.

Personally, I know absolutely nothing about Bleach's plot or mythos. I know a few of the characters by looks, but nothing about their personality. If I had to guess, it's a bunch of dudes fighting other dudes and supernatural beings of evil.

Im not the biggest bleach fan but to realy really REALLY basically sum it up, its about soul reapers (pretty much the good dead people) fighting that bad dead people, with humans thrown in jsut cause. If you asked someone for all the details and that up to now, you could probably fill 11 pages with posts explaining in depth.

Anime is Bleach.

And the game I was most diapointed about was Ace Combat Assault Horizon. If I ever needed an example f a series changing to pander casual gamers I will just point to this.

I love Ace Combat. I feel violated...

Before my family got the internet I always wondered who Penn and Teller were (probably from watching too much Kenan and Kel).

As for 2011, I don't really have any as I barely played any new games.

I will say that I didn't enjoy Skyrim, but I never had much faith in it anyway so it didn't come as a disappointment.

2012 is already shaping up to be an interesting year (I hope Dawn of War III is announced).

Assasins Creed Revelations I'm trying to get into the game, but it just feels so boring.

Also the anime in the picture is Bleach.

next time, don't pick an anime that's incredibly popular if you want guessing to be a challenge.

Personally, my disappointing game would be Deus ex: HR. I tried to get into it, but the gameplay isn't very good and I couldn't get into it.

I'll try to find something more obscure next time. But to be honest, I just google-imaged "Do not want" and found the best pic that way.

Shame about HR for you though. As I said, that was my GotY

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play: Pokemon Ruby 27: In which we beat up a cripple[/HEADING]​



Victory road time



I always found this part of the game to be most annoying.





I cut out a lot of frustration, but suffice to say, it wasn't a fun run



THE LIGHT!



















Basically, I have type advantage on everything he throws at me.





It couldn't have gone better if I planed it this way










Freedom!















Next time: We take on the endgame

Question time: Of all the rivals in all the games, which one did you like the most? For me, I thought Silver was a good one.

Also, and this is a larger question: What team should we use for the Elite Four?

Here [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Elite_Four_(Hoenn)#Hoenn_Elite_Four] is what we're going up against.

I'll edit and comment again, but I think it would help if we knew all your pokemn, or at least the ones that are at the level where you could beat the elite four with them so you dont have to ground endlessly.
