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

[sextus the crazy]

Favorite champion? That's a real narrow choice. If I had to choose, it would be myself!
I battle with my favorites rather than picking the ones with the best stats or breeding hundreds of one pokemon so it can hit that "Perfect EV" for training or something.

To be honest, I don't really understand EV, nor do I have the desire to, really. It makes the games more complex then I think they need to be. I'll often cheat and get all the rare candies that I can, because level 100 means bye-bye to you foes

I understand EV's perfectly, but I never actually breed them because I don't do competative battling, which is the only reason one would do such a thing.

I see. I never really bothered with all that technical stuff. I just unleashed all hell on all that stands in my way. It tends to work.

BTW guys, stay posted. I should have another update out soon (As in, like 10-20 minutes).

Spoiler

Good to get that out of the way, eh?

"Yo"?

Wut

These puzzles must be hard to solve in first person view

It's really just pushing things in turn. Nothing hard.

Yeesh lady, that' one hell of an outfit.

Steroids for my pokemons

This one hits really hard with earthquake.

But I use confusion and it goes down like a brick

No threat.

Easy pesy.

You know what else achieved liftoff? The Hindenburg.

Training time:

But what's that I hear?

...

Blast it!

Next time: Chris Hansen from Dateline. We need to talk

Question: Would you, if you could, live in the world of pokemon? I for one would not. It's just too weird a place. Also, organized crime is rampant, and law enforcement is weak. It's a nice place to visit, but not to live.

No way would I live there. Cleaning up after Poke-poops would be terrible.

You know, I don't think I've even seen a bathroom in the pokemon world either. That's... just...

Oh no!

 

[Ultress]

Defiantly no, sure it seems fun in the games but in the manga no one really has a problem murdering 12 year olds and everyones an asshole.

I'd go so far as to say that some areas of the pokemon universe, it's pretty much lawless and based around honor-duels. That sounds like a society I wouldn't want to live in.

I fucking love that manga.

 

[ChupathingyX]

The same as you; good place to visit, but not to live.

While Organized crime is rampant, all other types of crime are non-existant and Vigilante Justice seems to be well-organized and effective. Also, free healthcare for pets despite a lack of any real government. Come to think of it, the Pokemon world is like the Fallout universe except without it being shit.

Personally, I think your enjoyment of the Pokemon world is directly proportional to how much you care about pokemon, and being an animal lover and Pokemon lover, I would enjoy living in said world.

Free healthcare? That's SOCIALISM!

Also, I've never read the manga, but I'm told it's good.

It's above average, and it's certainly the best

It's an above average series with pretty much the only good story/ characters in pokemon.

Have you ever played the Mystery Dungeon games? I still hold those up as the best example of characters in the pokemon series, and it's one of the few games that had me at tears at the end.

I played blue all the way through, and I agree that the games had good characterization, especially for a pokemon game. I didn't like the difficulty spike in the middle when you're forced to fight through three hard dungeons with no support. And the post-game, as good as it is, is pretty hard.

While Red and Blue had some major issues, I think Time and Darkness fixed those rather nicely.

But yeah. I feel as though they're a bit grind-happy at times. I also felt a bit railroaded into some of the plot. But I really liked how the pokemon were given human emotions. Twas very strong for me.

they were flawed , but still good. The pokemon element pretty much turned a boring series into an awesome series.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I'm tempted to say yes simply because I would really like my own Milotic and Ninetales, but then again with all the crime and not to mention the sheer power some of the Pokemon have. I'm looking at you weather trio I would have to say no.

Also I too I'm a huge fan of the Pokemon manga, what I wouldn't give for it to be an anime series.

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play: Pokemon Ruby Mini-Update 5: In which we go on a quiz show[/HEADING]​

Spoiler

You know the drill. Trick house time. Quite frankly, I can't blame you if you wanna skip this update.

We join our heroine in progress...

PLANT used GROWL. RAVEN's attack fell.

Blablabla, we know the drill.

What's this?

So this guy built robots to ask questions for us.

...

You need a hobby, dude.

This statement is a lie.

Shroomish, of course.

175 poke

...

I see he put a lot of himself in the programming.

Unless you've got a really good memory, you'll likely use a guide on this.

Finally nab the code

You know, it might be a good idea to talk in code, or not talk about your evil plans in public. Just a tip

Well, looks like it's my job to stop them.

Next time: Who you gonna call?

Off topic question time: What was your 2011 GotY? For me, it was Deus Ex: Human Revolution, because it tackled the issue of transhumanism, and I greatly enjoyed the multiple pathways to objectives. Plus, I found the social boss battles fun, because I usually play a "Talk-first-then-fight" sort of fellow in RPGs

Fuck Yeah I would live there. Just give me an Eevee, a Pokedex, and a backpack full of dreams!... I would be dead in a week.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen anyone die in pokemon. Does that mean people there are immortal?

...

Wow.
