Talk:Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  Internal Clock 

message: 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 ), 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)

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

message: 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)

message: I disagree with the reason why I was reverted. You CAN travel to other regions in the video games. That's what trading is for. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 19:15, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you can't travel there. From Hoenn, the player can never travel to Kanto, Johto, or Sinnoh, and visa-verse. Therefore, in the video games (we are not talking about the anime here), Hoenn would be considered its own world to the average person. Artichoker[talk] 19:20, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The pokémon are transportable, doesn't that count? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 19:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Whether Pokémon transportable or not is irrelevant to whether something is considered a region or a world. Hoenn is both a region and a world in the video games, so mentioning that it is a world is acceptable. Artichoker[talk] 19:37, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I get your point. I'm such a big Pokémon fan that I didn't think Hoenn could be a world as well, and still don't. I respect that in video games what a "world" is is different from reality (and I consider the anime reality), but I still don't understand. Nevertheless, I will leave this alone as I don't believe in edit wars, and respect your views on this. Yes, I got nothing else to add to this discussion.

message: The original and the updated. Trivial or not? If not, it could probably be squeezed into the "Development" section or something. The Transmogrifier (talk) 23:56, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The chnages are so minor, and without a lot of commentry attached to them, that I don't think we could justify adding the image.  We can most definitely link to them though.  I'm glad they were kind of "maturing," or just knowing that they were screwing us over with the GBC to GBA transition (can only catch 200/386 until FR/LG). hbdragon88 (talk) 18:54, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: or just knowing that they were screwing us over with the GBC to GBA transition No, they had their reasons for not letting GBA be tradable with the older versions. Natures affect every single Pokémon, do you really think it would be possible to trade Pokémon with nature to older games without nature without getting your game screwed? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 19:58, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I know about the technical reasons.  I'm just saying that it would be deceptive to say "gotta catch 'em all" when about 180 Pokemon are not, actually, catchable.  They managed to retain compatibility when G/S/C came out, so they could say that then (as well as creating a generation of whiners when R/S came out and their lack of backwards compatibility).  Actually, it seems to be a permanent shift away from that slogan, seeing as FR/LG and D/P don't feature it. hbdragon88 (talk) 20:51, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Going back on topic, I wouldn't be against a mention.  Probably just something like "the cover art for the English-language games underwent several minor changes; these included a change in the background pattern, and the removal of the "Gotta Catch Them All" slogan", with both articles referenced for comparison.

thread_title:  Original R&S cover art 

message: It would be nice to see this article become an FA (WP's first Pokemon-related FA!), but I know from experience that prose is probably one of the biggest hurdles in the process, so I'm thinking a peer review is in order. If anyone is planning to put this up for FA candidacy some day, then a peer review can't hurt; even if no one is planning to make this an FA...it still can't hurt. 
Also, since this article relies heavily on web sources, I would suggest that someone archive the pages at Webcitation. (I'll try to work on it, but in case I don't have the time, hopefully someone else can take care of it.) Ink Runner (talk) 00:08, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah this article is probably about as close to FA as Pokémon Red and Blue, which is currently in peer review before I nominate it. I'll try to work on this article too as my time permits. Artichoker[talk] 00:11, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Peer review 

message: I would appreciate a section opened for both the Ruby and Sapphire versions featuring the brass section theme music. Many different scores are included in the games e. g. when a wild Pokemon battle starts or when a gym leader battle commences. Also towns have their own songs and different styles of routes include background music.

thread_title:  Pokemon Theme Music 

message: According to a comment in peer review, the article should only use one of the box art. Since (I think) they're both pretty much equal, I guess it boils down to...which one's cooler looking? :P 
(Seriously, though, which one should be kept?) *cough*Kyogre*cough* Ink Runner (talk) 05:51, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well since The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages is featured and uses both box arts, I don't see why this article can't as well. But if we had to use only one box art, I would say Ruby with the sole reason that it appears first in the page title. But as you are now probably the main contributor to this article, it's your decision. Cheers, Artichoker[talk] 15:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: David Fuchs said that Oracle of Seasons isn't actually a good FA to emulate, since it has an overuse of non-free images; but you're right, Ruby's boxart should probably stay since 1) it's title comes first and 2) Groudon is on the cover of the soundtrack.
