[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)

It was a bootleg version of Sapphire for the game boy color. go to this link, http://www.trsrockin.com/fakegames.html#sapph, to find out about it.75.67.128.65 21:40, 13 August 2007 (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] Real mature...

ok. some one thought it would be funny to replace this page with. "lol. pokemon pwns. hahahah." not funny. dude just leave pages alone. Someone obviously time on thier hands and then used it to create this page so people could see it. deleting it is just rude. anyways.. the page will have to be fixed.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lgroskau (talk • contribs) 23:05, 23 December 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)

[edit] box showing other games

well someone wrote some random things at the top and bottem of the page so I fixed it but could someone please put the box that shows the other games back up--Crypto 138 00:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Box Art

Could this be the Box art for Ruby http://www.legendarypokemon.net/images/games/box_ruby.gif and this for sapphire http://www.legendarypokemon.net/images/games/box_sapphire.gif

thanksDSDark 19:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chaos Black

I think this fake game should be AT LEAST mentioned. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.115.106.52 (talk • contribs).

Ehem, what? -- ReyBrujo 04:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
It's a bootleg, like the infamous Telefang ones. And no we do not need to mention Chaos Black. hbdragon88 05:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Someone thought this was funny...

Some idiot thought it was funny to stupify, vandalise, and make fun of Shigeru Myamoto's name into Shigeki Morimoto in here And Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen articles. Someone fix this please. cant remember how his last name is spelled :( 172.162.150.53 04:34, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beta

Bulba is Creative Commons, we are GFDL, and you can't mix the licenses together (I think you may be able to go GFDL > CC, but not the other way around). Second, the whole lot of it is original research that is not backed by a reliable, third-party source. Third, none of it is cited. What article, edition of NP did they state Shellos was dev'd for R/S/E? hbdragon88 (talk) 22:32, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
you have got to be kidding, it is not original research its common knowledge that Shellos was ment to be in this game, and it is backed up, and as for the last question how the fuck would i know--Blue-EyesGold Dragon 00:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, sorry, we can't source what you think is "common knowledge." If Nintendo Power really DID say that (well, I know they did, but) then we need the actual issue of the magazine.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 00:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
If you can't find the issue we can't use it, period. hbdragon88 (talk) 00:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
it was in the May 2007 issue of Nintendo Power, is that good enough for you?--Blue-EyesGold Dragon 04:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
WTF do you people want, i gave you what you wanted now you tell me that i have to tell you the page number, fuck that, its on other pages of this site without that shit--Blue-EyesGold Dragon 01:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
fine then, lets remove all the other stuff--Blue-EyesGold Dragon 09:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
That doesn't constitute blanking the page. Grow up, Blue eyes.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 13:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
lol, kid--Blue-EyesGold Dragon 05:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
thats not even blanking the page, that is removing your "unsourced information" see you dont like it, so stop doing it to me --Blue-EyesGold Dragon 05:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
you fucking ass hole, this means i get to remove the warning right? just like you? we have the right dont we? i think we do--Blue-EyesGold Dragon 06:10, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, did I put a warning on your page? Christ.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 06:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
um....>_< wow O_o you didnt warn me for "you fucking ass hole" ....um........O_o --Blue-EyesGold Dragon 06:49, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shellos in Ruby and Sapphire

Junichi Masuda commented in the May 2007 issue of Nintendo Power that "There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in Ruby and Sapphire that we were able to put in this one Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.--Blue-EyesGold Dragon 08:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
