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

[emeraldrafael]

yous hould name the electrike Luke if its a boy.

... what?

Oh, and if the gulpin is a boy, name it Otoro. if its a girl, name it Misty (or chorocojo) after the LPer here (specifically her emerald run).

As for my favorite evil, I rather liked Galactic but thats cause they got shit done. Plus they were somewhat competant, they had... decent pokemon, and it just seemd like tehy were giving you a challenge on each level. And they ultimately had the most evil plan.

Yeah, but team Galatic was a bit.... Nihilistic, don't you think?

As a side note, if anyone wants a pokemon named after them in this LP, fell free to say so right now. Keep in mind, it has to be a pokemon I can naturally catch in Ruby.

real name or user name? cause my name isnt luke either way.

um... maybe they are. Yeah, I guess so. I mean, I wouldnt say so, cause their life has meaning (to serve Cyrus). Cyrus is probably the nihilist.

But really, arent any of the groups Nihilists?

Real name, if you'd like.

And no. Team Rocket was a criminal group, almost like the Mafia. Team Magma/Aqua were almost to the level of suicide cults.

If youd like to name your next male after me (my name is anthony) then that would be cool. Though specifically maybe if I was named after a trapinch specifically.

Nihilism is defined as a "philosophical doctrine suggesting the negation of one or more putatively meaningful aspects of life" I just dont think Galactic fits that. If you're going to say the do, then does each other, as they negate a part of life

I'll be catching a Trapinch soon enough. How about I name that one "Anthony"?

It's been a while since I've played Diamond and Pearl. My point was more that Cyrus was rather nihilistic. He also had that cliche JRPG plan to try to control a anchent god-like power. Which wasn't very smart, in my opinion.

So far, I've got "Otoro" and "Misty" for Gulpin as far as names go.

if you dont mind naming it that. I just like Flygon as a pokemon, and its my second favorite dragon after dragonite.

I suppose so. But like is aid, they got stuff done and had the most evil plans by taking over the universe. and really, except fro team rocket all the evil teams tried to control god like pokemon. team rocket just said fuck that we'll make one.

Yeah. I suppose so. When will these people ever learn? I didn't finish pokemon Black, so I don't know how the evil schemes for Team Plasma went.

By the way, I have a planned "Mini-update" that I should have done later today.

Cool. I'll check in and out through the day so I'll see it if you do and Im sure I'll comment.

And yeah, team plasma is rather... well, they have the most retarded plan really, and really they're just a hyperviolent sect of PETA. Plus they're so hypocritical.

Well, I'll change the title when I do, so if you bookmark this thread, you'll be able to see the change in the title.

And yes. They reminded me of PETA. And I'm not a fan of PETA, so that kinda made me not like them so much.

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play: Pokemon Ruby Mini-Update 1: In which we enter a house[/HEADING]​

A mini-update? What foolery is this?

Mini-updates are for small, non-story related part of the adventure. Mostly, they will involve going into the trick man?s house. They will be smaller/shorter than most updates.

Spoiler

Remember that house from the end of the last update? Well, we're about to enter it.

And no one is home. Well, can't say we tried. Let's be gone now.

...

...

And now the table is talking to me.

You hid under a table, buddy. I can do that.

Here's a question: Do you hide under the table the entire day hoping someone comes in and talks to it?

...

Why don't you just offer her candy?

This is the point where any sane child should turn around and run.

Yay for being useless for the purposes of this Let's Play! I guess it wasn't the 12 year old children who would make the Postal Office obsolete, it's their pets.

Whoever this guy is, he's got too much free time.

So you kidnapped a bunch of children and planted trees in your basement to trap them? Last I checked, that was illegal

My mommy told me I shouldn't take candy from strangers.

My, that was... harrowing.

By the way, this is what he looks like in the anime

Would you trust your children around this man?

And thus concludes our first Mini-update. At the end of these, I'll be asking non-pokemon related questions.

Question: Do you play DnD, and if so, what ruleset do you use?

I do, and I much prefer 3.5.

ALSO: As I mentioned before, if anyone wants a pokemon that can be caught in Ruby named after them, tell me and I'll do it. So far, emeraldrafael wants a Trapinch named "Anthony"

 

[Ultress]

I've played Pathfinder,3.5 and 4.0, I tend to go with 4.0 because it's easier on our DM and I'll be fucked If I really have a say in the matter.

Really? I find 3.5 easier to DM myself. And I've never done Pathfinder. I have heard it's rather good, though.

...

I do, but then again, i dont. I dont play on a board or map or anything. my friends and I just get together and make shit up as we go along.

I do pretty much the same with my friends, to be honest. We house ruled a few things about Paladins to make them more interesting. Same goes for Clerics.

I think groups should follow the rule of "Fun > Rules"

yeah. All I know is, one of my friends is playing a thief character who when he started had both his legs, but now has since lost them and has to have our biggest and bulkiest tank carry him. Which is funny cause anytime he tries to sneak up to something we give him a negative 14 on it cause he's sneaking for two and the guy he's riding on the back of has huge heavy plate armour that in real life you would never be able to sneak in unless you were sneaking in the school for the deaf.

we find it hilarious, but then again, thats cause in real life the friend who plays a thief is missing both his legs.

...

its a shame hockey's not too big here. lot of quality hockey jokes in those pictures.

We had one instance where an evil God was shooting fireballs at the Drow Rogue but he kept being able to make a very high saving throw to the point at which he took no damage. And my friend played a sorcerer who loved to shoot rainbows at people. That was a fun group

EDIT: I also know absolutely nothing about hockey, sadly

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play: Pokemon Ruby Part 8: In which we beat up a ?special? child[/HEADING]​

I'm trying something different here.

Spoiler

Last time, we met a scary man. But enough of that. Forward!

Pokemon catching time

Well, that's enough pokemon for now.

Dear lord, this guy again.
I'd say that of all your rivals in all the games, he's the least interesting.

I don't believe he works as a rival as well as the ones in other games. In generation I and IV, you're childhood friends with you rival. In II, the guy is evil, if a bit cartoonishly so. But this schmoe? No real reason as to why you should care.

Let's not also forget that he only has 3 pokemon.

The first of which goes down with a water gun

And all it takes here is a wing attack or two.

I gotta say, Walmer is one of my favorite pokemon

I don't bother with type advantage, I just melt its brains.

Yes, give me your lunch money.

Have you been watching me?

To be honest, I rarely bother with that.

Doesn't that constitute cheating?

... Abra? Really?

Well, no matter.

By our powers combined!

My pleasure.

One pokemon. That's all he still has. And I have type advantage.

"But you did get beat by a girl"

"Except everyone, of course"

Sure. I'd love to rub my victory in his face. Well, off to train.

A double battle with twins? Come on: You aren't even trying anymore, game

Listen buddy, the last guy to talk that way invited me into his shady house and gave me candy. Watch your step.

...

I'm calling the cops.

Free bike? Fine. I'll let you go. This time.

Ah, yes. That stupid duel bike system. Remember this?

I feel dirty.

Next time: Third gym battle!

Question time: Which image size do you want me to use for this Let's Play? The smaller, original format one, or the larger one? It's not too much work either way. So yeah. Tell me which one you think works better, and whichever one has more votes, I'll use. If you don't care either way, tell me that as well.

 

[Ultress]

I kinda of like the smaller format, it looks a bit sharper though that might just be my imagination.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I like the smaller, but thats just cause it doesnt seem as.... I wanna say obnoxious as an "in your face look at me and only me I dominate the screen" kinda way.

As to the update.. it kinda sucks that all dark moves are special in third gen.

And I feel you missed a quality Bike Shop episode of Different Strokes joke. Thats 0 for 2 since you missed the Prostitute Roxanne joke.

I'm kinda unaware of what that is. But damn, I lose again? Blast!
