Let's Play: Pokemon Ruby Post Game 4: In which we face off against evil

[FilipJPhry]

I played Blue, Yellow, Gold, Fire Red, and finally Heart Gold.

I recently bought an old cartridge of Ruby, but the internal battery was dead. Does that mean I can't advance in the game somehow?

You should still be able too. You just won't able to do a few minor events. That should be it.

That sounds like a funny idea. How about I use Italicized text for talking in character, and regular text for when I want to make comments and critique.

Go for it. You should just be the narrator though, let Raven be the main character

Well, I was going to make a point or two about how Team Magma is like a Cult, but I get the feeling that Raven would want to join them, as what they're doing...

Spoiler

Might destroy the world

Do you have a name suggestion for a Ralts? Assuming it's a female one, that is.

They're also really, really incompetant. They make Team Rocket look threatening.

As for the Ralts I'd suggest The Bride. I think that'd fit, would suit gardy's dress thing too. If it's male call it Bridget.

And that's saying something.

How does everyone else feel about that as a name?

If it's male call it Bridget.

Spoiler

Not a bad name choice, actually. I won't be writing the entire LP from the view of Raven, as I said. I'm not witty enough to do that.

Ah well it can be my gimmick when I get around to LPing something

I...I didn't know you were doing an LP!?

Now, it's time to venture forward! Huzzah!

Now it's time for the discussion question: Did you play Pokemon Ruby or Saphire?

The only Pokemon game I've played much is Pokemon Snap, so I can't say. The good thing is that this LP will be informative to me as I'm basically going into this mostly blind.

Also, like other people have said, you should crp the imaqges so they don't mess with the page size.

That's right. We got a SHINY pokemon! This is going to make it more interesting...
[/spoiler]

So are shinies more powerful, or just....shiny?

I will. I found a program that works. My next update should be better. Hopefully I'll be getting the hang of this soon.

Shiny pokemon are, as far as I know, just shiny. So nothing more powerful. Just pretty. They're rare though 1/8192 chance of catching one in the wild. I've only ever caught one other before. That was in HeartGold. Shiny Tentacool

Imma let you finish, but the best shiny I ever found was a shiny Rayquaza in Sapphire. No jokes. The only reason I found out it was shiny was when I looked it up in the Pokedex and found it was green, and my one was black. I was a very happy person that day.

That is, quite simply, bitchin'. There's no other way to say it. Congratulations.

Heh, heh, thanks! It took me a while to realise how lucky I was to get it (especially as this was during a long chain of running out of Ultra Balls and having to reset the game). What was even funnier was my cousin had caught a regular Rayquaza on his Ruby version, and spent the next week telling anyone who'd listen how obviously the green one was shiny and the black one ordinary. Ah, nostalgia. That was about eight years ago. That's quite scary, now I think about it.

Damn. Has it really been that long? I feel old now...

I say we should try to keep nicknames in the goth theme to go along with Raven. That being said, the internet has provided me with some nickname ideas for Ralts.

Male: Lucifer, Abraxas, Drusus, Talon, Draven
Female: Amaranth, Lucine, Desdemona (really like this one), Nissa

My vote's for Desdemona, nice Othello reference there, but here are some ideas courtesy of a google'd nickname generator.

 

[StorytellingIsAMust]

Oh yeah, as far as Shiny Pokemon go, for the longest time the only one I found was the Red Gyarados in Silver/SoulSilver, and then I caught a Shiny Poochyena in White yesterday and I was almost more pumped for it than catching the four legendaries I caught in the same day (Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and Kyurem, if you care).

I like the name Lucine the most of all of those, to be honest.

That's another great name, and it's your LP. Pick whatever one you want.

To be honest, I'm not going to be overplaying the whole "Goth" thing until I get the hang of how to do this. That, and I'm really not all that funny.

Meh, I'm laughing. Either I'm easily amused, or you're funnier than you think. Again, whatever you wanna do, it's your LP.

I'm sorry but if you think I'm funny you must be crazy.

Joking aside, thank you.
