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

[CM156_v1legacy]

Sorry it's taking me so long with the update. The program I used to screencap was acting funky, and I'm waiting to hear back from the business I got it from. Shouldn't be long now.

Spoiler

can't you jsut use VBA's integral screen capture system?

For some reason, it only works about half the time or so. That, and the images come out at a lower quality. It's something weird with my computer. Sorry for the wait.

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play: Pokemon Ruby Part 5: In which we do nothing for a while[/HEADING]​

Spoiler

Back again. Sorry for the wait.

We head to the house because that crazy guy says he'll give us a ride.

In case you can't tell, he's chasing his bird around in circles. Yeah.

Please stop calling it your "darling"

Not with you, if it can be avoided

I know. Being the protagonist is hard work!

I can't be the only one who is bothered by this relationship, right?

That ship is very small....

I'll be doing the gym next time.

One trip to the north of the island and the cave there later...

I don't want my pokemon using something hidden to flash me!

Because why not

It's dark, but easy to get around if you know where you need to go.

One trip though the cave later...

I wonder who he is?

Thanks, I guess.

And because no LP of Ruby would be complete without it...

I wanted to do "Noctowl City" but I can't until I saw that pokemon. So I give you this instead. "Adult toys" is also something you can put in, from what I understand.

I go inside the room nearby...

....

That some kind of fat joke?

....

Again, is that some kind of fat joke?

Sorry, but again. I had to do it. It's like an obligation.

Here's our team. Next time: Gym battle!

Now time for the question: What is the most useless HM? My vote is for Flash.

Fuckin' defog. Worst idea ever.

Something like that would be rather helpful in real life, though. Especially where I go to school. It can get very foggy. But yeah. Worthless HM

I kinda agree with whirlpool

And thank you. It's rather amusing that they allow that sort of thing in the game.

 

[LilithSlave]

Ah, we're allowed to do this kind of topic?

I should create one, sometime.

Of course we are, dear Pinkie Pie. I'm hardly the first person to do a LP here.

Zigzagoon picks up random items some time. I got an ultra ball. I was training the pokemans when suddendly...

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

First off, I'm currently playing through Ruby right now (hence why this caught my eye). Secondly; you lucky bastard! And finally, ever since I played DA:O I've named my in-game pets "Barkspawn".

EDIT: I currently have a female Grovyle called Horatio, and a male Kirlia (I know!) called Walter. I just beat the electric gym leader by spamming double team, then calm mind on my Kirlia, meaning I dodged my way to Magneton, then tanked my way through Shock Wave.

Thank you. I do the same with all my in game pets as well. At least those that look like or are dogs

Ahhh, Pokemon games and the joy of naming things!

I was thinking its funnier just how perfectly it sets up for the joke.

It's like they trust us not to be immature. Shows what good that did 'em

Or that they're still marketing to kids and dont expect them to do something like that.

Come on. You were a kid at one point, right? All kids know to do this sort of things. They're the ones who name pokemon after genitalia and snicker when they use "harden"

Got to disagree there, whirlpool is invaluable against the legendary doggies and other roamers.

I usually have a pokemon with arena trap by that point, so I could care less if they tried to run.

I didnt use a your mom joke for the first time till I was 14 to be honest.

To be honest, I didn't for a while. But almost all my classmates at one time or another did so.

It's still hardly as worthless as defog or flash. And the only good pokemon that gets arena trap is Dugtrio which isn't in all of the games and even sticking with the GSC example you only get those long after you release the legendary dogs. Only Dream World chandelure and gothitelle get shadow tag too.

Trapinch gets Arena trap. And wobbefett gets shadow tag.

And I dont actively hunt the dogs until later in game so it doesnt matter when I find a pokemon with arena trap.
