[edit] Internal Clock

The internal clock has not been removed from Ruby and Sapphire. At the begining of the game you set the clock's time. It is just that the night and day effects don't happen anymore. The clock is used to determine when can do events that can be used only once per day, (like the pokémon lotto in the mall) and Pokémon that evolve only during the day and/or night (i.e. Umbreon and Espeon). Try to get your facts straight. Greyhead 13:32, 10 May 2005 (UTC) P.S. Don't take this to hard guys

Not to mention making the Berry trees progressively grow over time, and killing the berry growth and other key events after one year! Unless you patched it of course. I've reworded it now, but you could have done that yourself... remember, be bold! Master Thief Garrett 11:36, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reference to Wikipedia in Ruby/Sapphire?

I just looked on [1], and there is an item called Wiki Berry. The description is "When held, 1/8 HP recovers when HP is below half, but Confusion occurs for Pokemon that are Adamant, Impish, Jolly, or Careful." --pile0nades 01:09, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Doubtful.

Sorry for bringing up an old topic, but all berries are simply named for fruits; "Wiki" is an anagram of "Kiwi". --HeroicJay 05:03, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Legacy/Criticism and public response section

I've rewritten this section, citing sources. (I also put the sales numbers up front; does anyone think it's POV to mention the fact that it's the bestselling GBA game ever before the fact that some Pokémon fans kvetched that a feature or two was removed or that Snorunt's design is dumb?) I had to cut a lot of it as entirely unsourced; can someone cite sources for some of the old criticism and replace it? - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 05:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Most of it is what I have personally read on boards - one topic blasting R/S cited that the Snornut evolution ws nonsensical. To a certain degree, this is true. I mean, I can see how Blissey/Chansey evolves, but Snornut/Glalie although not as verifable or NPOV as the example you rewrote (about Beautify/Butterfree). The emphasis I had when initially wrtiting the section was just about the games themselves, not about public response in general, which is why I wrote about Pokemon Box, modern Pokemon mechanics, etc. Of course, being a good Wikipedian (and having a good article) means verifable and citable sources, which I generally haven't done much of.

I see that the section on "hailed as the modern Pokemon games" bit has been removed. I suppose that falls under review and not under encyclopedia article domain. Hbdragon88 06:06, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Berry glitch

Someone suggested that the Berry glitch section should be removed from Wikipedia. I think that it should either be moved into its own article or merged into a glitch page with the other glitches. There are seven "notable glitches" in Wikipedia right now (see {{Pokémon glitches}}), two of which are stubs, and half of which shouldn't be on Wikipedia if the Berry glitch section wasn't. — SheeEttin {T/C} 20:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it should just be mentioned here with a link to its own article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.17.45.166 (talk • contribs) .

I think it should be merged with Notable glitches in the Pokémon video games.

[edit] Fake Sapphire Version

What the heck is this all about? The description makes no sense. How is it 'fake'? Was it published by Nintendo? Beasticles 17:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but it's one of the fake versions floating around out there. It's not official, endorsed or published by Nintendo, and not worth including in the article. Sorry. Rai 18:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eh?

I don't think that the "berry glitch" is a glitch, per se. I thought it was just that the internal clock broke/ran out of batteries after a year. Correct me if I'm wrong. ~ Flameviper 17:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

It's a glitch. It's not a strictly physical issue, like a battery dying, because it can be fixed in software. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 18:37, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't Delete, Move!

The part about the berry glitch should probably be moved to the notable pokemon glitches page, because it is notable, and is a glitch like all the others. It doesn't make much sense to not move it. Zivlok 00:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
