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

[emeraldrafael]

Favorite GBA? its a trio of KH: Chain of Memories, Pokemon Sapphire, and NHL 2002 (Mario was on the cover of that one).

And no fucking way. your first sight was a ralts (10% encounter rate) and a shroomish? If you catch a skitty Im gonna be tempted to call some bs. XD Though that shroomish is a good catch, cause its a grass and fighting type.

I named mine Piss Off or Fuck Yeah or Check It just cause that one guy goes on about shroomish, and i always kinda hoped he would see I had a shroomish and feel envious. (EDIT though more seriously, I would say name it Thomas

Also, lucifer's gonna evolve and get a dress. XD

First update you get a shiny. Second, you get a Ralts.
I kind of hate you right now.

 

[Melon Hunter]

Oh! Oh! I just remembered something! When you get to Dewford Town, please make the trendy phrase as inappropriate as possible. I remember laughing my head off after I found that you can change the phrase to 'Up Yours', along with all the people in the town hall gushing about their Up Yours merchandise and about how awesome Up Yours is.

I didn't mean to imply it was my first sighting. It took me about 4 minutes to get one.

Thanks.... I think

I prefer to have them say "Your mother"

Even more funny!

Oh Better Idea for the Shroomish name: "Oh shit it" that way everything that you use the pokemon for will sound like a surprise. EX: Oh shit it used sleeppowder!

Two problems:

1: I don't use status effects much
2: Remember, the no naughty language rule? "Shit" kinda counts.

2: Crap your right forgot about that one. Well mine still stand for Daisy if it's female, I'm voting for McFrumpy of it's male

I like those both the best so far.

I don't mind subtle jokes or obscenities. To me, those are the best kind. But to outright use one of those words?

My plan will likely be to capture and crop one day, and to write up the LP the next. That's how it stands now. The voting is still open for the Shroomish

It's kinda fun to play. I listen to DVDs on the United States Supreme Court and Penn&Teller while I play the game, interchanging between the two. It's actually a fun juxtaposition.

I'm not good enough to a Nuzlocke. That's simply why I'm not. I might Nuzlocke Silver on my own time, but I won't LP that.

everyone's good enough to Nuzlocke. You just have to get used to the idea of grinding more than usual.

It's not just that, it's the "one pokemon per area" rule. I like building a fun, diverse team.

It's not just that, it's the "one pokemon per area" rule. I like building a fun, diverse team.

You can do that. Do a no dupes clause (especially in ruby). Though it makes it less likely you'll see a ralts since there's Seven different pokemon on the first three routes (Eight if you can skip through rt 102 and go right to rt 104 to try and lower your odds and catch a ralts in rt 102).

and I was mistaken, thats a four percent chance to see a ralts. Though not the lowest (thats surskit at one percent (probably the lowest in game).

EDIT: not tell you you should do one, just its possible.

 

[Ultress]

Favorite GBA game, probably the remake of FF6 for introducing me to FF6 and the greatness of Ultros

On the Shormish name: McScowly

Would you say that FF6 was the best Final Fantasy game?

I hate to over hype games but I would call it one of the best and defiantly my personal favorite.

 

[SilverUchiha]

So why LP this game instead of SoulSilver? Just wondering.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

Ehhh, I dunno. The image capture system is easier with only one screen. And if I'm going to LP one of the pokemon DS games, I'm going to do Explorers of Time/Darkness

 

[ChupathingyX]

By making it fight to the death for my own glory.

I always did find it kind of funny that Pokemon was basically legal dog fighting.

What should I name it?

Shrooms?

Question time: What was your favorite GBA (GameBoy Advanced) game? Mine was actually Harvest Moon, Friends of a Mineral Town. I really liked that game. Why? Because you can give neon colored grass to a girl for a year and she wants to marry you. To me, that's just too funny. For the record, I went for Ann and then Mary on a second time through.

I don't own any Nintendo consoles to be honest.

I was always a Playstation person growing up.

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play: Pokemon Ruby Part 3: In which we meet the Evil Team Cult[/HEADING]​

Spoiler

So here we are in the Petalburg Woods. Here's a map of what it looks like.

And then we see this guy. Just standing in one place, looking forward. Does anyone do anything interesting in their free time in the pokemon world?

Sadly, there's no option to show them if you have one.

Annnnnnnnd this is the first we see of the evil team cult in this game. More on that later.

What do you want?

And he hides behind a 12 year old girl. If a scary man in red comes up to you and demands research papers, what do you do? I don't know, perhaps give them over or run away. Nothing stopping him from involving law enforcement, right?

Need I remind you that our hero is a child?

Not by choice

Wait, you have a team? Can I join?

Did you get those clothes at Hot Topic?

He's taken down easily enough.

You've already lost to a child once. And you wanna do so again?

And you're telling me this.... why?

Whatever helps you sleep at night, poser

Gee, thanks.

That was odd. Anyhow, I caught a bunch of pokemon that I wasn't expecting this update.

And then I emerge from the woods.

There's a flower/berry shop nearby. Let's stop in.

Nope

And here we come to two-on-two battles. I rather enjoy these. If I'm not mistaken, they were added in Generation 3.

I'd make a joke about fighting twin sisters at once, but even I have standards.

Again, they're rather easy fights, when it's all said and done. We then come across a guy who has three Magikarps

And now we're in a new town.

I go north and run across a few pokemon.

I think we can all agree that this:

looks like this:

Right?

A few fights later...

That should make things easier.

There's also a nearby cave.

Damn you, small rocks! You're almost as bad as the small shrubs!

Easy there, big guy. Easy.

Here's the obligatory pokemon school.

Annnnnd here's the Gym. That will be the bulk of my next update.

And here's our team. Think we stand a chance? I think so

Question time: What is your favorite pokemon type? As in, water, fire, flying, ect.

I'm partial to Ice. I've always thought ice, in and of itself, was rather cool.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Just read through the first three chapters, great work on catching that shiny.

Also to answer your thread questions. Yes I have played Pokemon Ruby, it was my favourite Gameboy Advance game and my favourite type is the water type. I like them because of their stats and are capable of learning some awesome attacks not just water, a lot of them such as my favourite water type Milotic are capable of learning my favourite move, Mirror Coat.
