Beating Pokemon Ruby How I Intended It

Pokemon Ruby how PapaSea intended it this time around. Basically just playing through Ruby version using Pokemon I like and doing some weird things along the way, not a hardcore nuzlocke, challenge run, pokemon challenge, or randomizer

05:49 - the name Archie starts with an A like Aqua, the name Maxie starts with an M like Magma. That's the way remember them how Nintendo intended.

[@MagusAgrippa8]

Clearly, Blaziken’s plot armor is due to how much he cares about his trainer. How could a starter Pokémon faint on his trainer’s birthday? Congrats on another year around the sun, and for the massive milestone!

[@joelegue182]

To this day, I call Ralts "Wally". I played this first in Japanese because that was before world release, so I called Pokemon whatever they looked like as I had no idea what their English names were at the time.

You got really lucky with that Ralts. When I tried to find one in Ruby, I found both a shiny Seedot AND a Surskit (which is a 1% encounter, rarer than Ralts's 4%) before finding a Ralts!

[@castform7]

I always look for Ralts but never find one when I want it. The way I see it is if I go 35 encounters without spotting it or find a Surskit first, I'm moving on.

PaPaSea, the easiest way to remember who is the leader of each team: - Team *A*qua: Leader *A*rchie - Team *M*agma: Leader *M*axie

[@castform7]

I remember my first full playthrough of Ruby. I wanted a Spinda since I always like having a "little guy" on my team (ex. Castform in my first Omega Ruby playthrough). I looked for five minutes to get one with a pattern I like and named him Drunkle. I debated on whether or not to keep him on my team and replace it with Zangoose but after he was basically my saving grace against Norman, I for sure kept it.

[@acehealer4212]

I also like having a “little guy” on my team! A few months ago I played Diamond using a Pachirisu. Discharge and Super Fang can be really helpful moves. Getting items of Pickup was great too.

[@LagrimaArdiente]

I was around for Gens 1 and 2, and I thought they were rad AF, but I have an specially _powerful_ fondness for Gen 3. It just looked and felt so novel when it first came out; kid me was absolutely losing her mind over it.

[@Lokear]

I got into Pokémon really late myself, not playing until Alpha Sapphire, and so I have nostalgia for gen 3... even though my first game was gen 6. THAT GRANITE CAVE THEME THO

[@danielthemaniel8601]

I've played gen 3 more times than I can count and honestly I've never grown tired of it once in the past 16 years since it came out

[@ThatOneWeirdFlex]

I started playing Gen 1 and have played through it the most, more than most people have put into the more recent games. Gen 1 is the sound of actual nostalgia

[@RossSpeirs]

When I was in the 6th grade and was playing gen 3 I thought my Ruby team was so good when I discovered you could breed your starter. I pretty much just relied on multiple blazikens and groundon very pro gamer moves. I had played 3 generations of pokemon by that point but didn’t learn how team building worked until I started trawling forums during fire red and leaf green

[@HybridAngelZero]

[@Mr.Pallanza]

Dude. You just opened a new genre of coverage on Pokèmon games. We already got Let's Plays, Playing games as Nintended, Nuzlockes and its various iterations, and the many many _can you beat...._ ones. But this, beating a Pokèmon game as the _player first played it_ is a new venue for Pokemon players sharing how they have each experienced their playthroughs. There will be some similarities, sure (I'm looking at Gen IV), but each and every player of Pokèmon has a potential to show how they all played the game when they first got their hands on it, especially if these are from Pokètubers who can narrate their playthroughs like how you do. Premium content as always, dude. I've found you on your first Nintended, and now looking on how you'd play the rest of the games as _you_ intented. Cheers and more power to your channel! Congrats on 100k!

[@jrlaps521]

It reminds me of MandJTV’s April Fools video Can You Beat Platinum, where it was just a play through using whatever he found along the way with no gimmicks. It was really enjoyable just seeing him have fun with the play through without having to worry about certain rules

[@BaconNuke]

@@jrlaps521 And he got few shinies somehow and that just made it kinda funny

Gardevoir is a pretty and powerful Pokémon. I’m sure one of the dex entrees says it can make a black hole. It would be cool to see you play Pokémon Ranger and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games how Nintendo intended.

3:50 There's also another wall-phaser near Lilycove, an older gentleman in the fence maze west of the city. Just go past the small area blocked by a cut tree, sneak past him, and let him see you when you're under him.

[@TomJake500]

Reminiscing on getting and playing Ruby for the first time led me to look back on when Costco had a large section for games, and GBA games were kept in the open, except each game was in a plastic case with a large handle on the bottom.

[@HeWhoHungers]

My strongest memory of Ruby was having to boot up my brother's illegal copy of it when me and my other siblings were trying to complete the pokedex on Emerald to get the Johto starters. The save function for that cartridge didn't work anymore, and Zangoose was the only pokémon we couldn't get in either Sapphire or Emerald version of which we both had regular copies available. So we'd have to boot it up and play it through to Fallarbor in one sitting to catch the Zangoose and trade it over.

[@Rivercrackle]

“Doing some of the things I did as a kid.” If I did this, then bye bye to my shinies.

[@themorrigan1312]

Pro tip for whenever you mix up Archie and Maxie: the first letters of their names match their teams. Archie Aqua, Maxie Magma

[@ShayTheValiant]

I honestly forgot that your rival is the child of Professor Birch. I guess it's because May is canonically Norman's daughter in the anime and there is no Brendan.

[@tetsudikawakami3071]

I am the opposite. I can't imagine May beibg normans Kid.also thanks to that i cant Really connect with Blaziken as a Pokemon because i Pick treecko a lot of times,so i Cant think of blaziken as anything as the "Rival pokemon"

[@Hijiri_MIRACHION]

In Masters it straight up says that Brendan is Norman's son, so at least in Masters, he is the canonical protagonist (Other protagonists, such as Ethan, Hilbert, Serena and Gloria, are also chosen as being the canonical one). Generations also seems to support this. Basically, it's implied that Brendan is meant to be the canonical protagonist in the games. Also, Brendan is in the anime, but only as a cameo in the opening of certain Pokémon movies.

[@ShayTheValiant]

@@Hijiri_MIRACHION I meant in the main series anime, Brendan is absent. I've never played Masters, so I didn't know that.

[@Hijiri_MIRACHION]

@@ShayTheValiant I knew he didn't actually appear in the anime itself, I just wanted to point out that he wasn't completely ignored.

"I sent out Pistachio to face his Salamance because I forgot Fairy-type doesn't exist yet." Sorry. Just went through my head as something I'd do on reflex.

What a coincidence, I just bought the PaPaSea guide to Ruby & Sapphire yesterday! But the berry page was cut out...

[@apawture]

see, MY ideal/coolest pokemon team would definitely include absol. i look at it now as just a neat pokemon with a low catch rate, but as a kid i looked at absol like it was a legendary bc THATS how cool and rare it felt to me (and i hope it knows i love it just the same even today) anyway this was fun! like hanging out and just playing pkmn casually with a friend. excellent vibes (edit) happy birthday btw!!

Happy birthday, PapaSea! And thank you for uploading this video because like you said, this video and the Fire Red one show that you can play Pokémon however YOU want. Each cartridge or online copy is literally your own personal little Pokémon world, for you to play however you want. That's one of the best things about the games.

[@Agumame]

I really love these "how I intended" videos because its literally just "im playing through a pokemon game like a normal person" but the title makes it sound way more grandiose lol

My main takeaway from this video is how hard casual playthroughs are for people who don't have a team of "basically Swampert, with a couple of sidekicks". Child me never knew the struggle of grinding or worrying about gym leaders 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m using Pokémon like Gardevoir that I’ve always liked, but I’m also using Pokémon I hadn’t thought of before to round out my team. I caught a Dusclops because I needed a wall, and I love her already.

[@LeKornorBros]

Wallace and Juan are both Water-type specialists. Glacia is the sole Ice-type trainer in Hoenn. The best way to remember stuff like that is remembering the fact Gym Leader and Elite Four types don't overlap (doesn't include Champions, as seen in Johto, Emerald version and Black 2 & White 2). Only exception would be Kanto Gym Leaders in Gen 2's post-game, but that's only because it's hard to spread 17 types for 19 Gym Leaders and Elite Four members in one game (technically 20, but Blue doesn't have a type specialty).

[@lohchong4862]

Just finished rearranging my comment. Took quite a bit of time since I first watched this video. Great content to watch. Thank you Papasea! 1. 1:12 Yeah. I like Torchic too. Blaziken is also my favorite of the 3 starters. I like naming it “Zran” due to “斩“ for its kicking posture resembling an martial artist. 2. 2:00 I predict that Ralts is a guaranteed first encounter for Route 102 for every Hoenn game cartridge, during every first save file, since the first time I play through Ruby, Sapphire, and Alpha each, on all 3 games my first encounters on 102 are Ralts. That is only my prediction though, nothing certain from any media. 3. 6:32 Yeah, there aren’t many cool looking Water types IMO. Hoenn also doesn’t have much variety of native Water types on most routes either. Maybe I have way higher expectations, since I do use Dragonflycave website a lot for choosing appealing pokemon, but so far only my favorite Water type, Tapu Fini, was above averagely cool looking among the Waters’; which is strange, because there are so many Water types! (76 in total, most of any type) 4. 8:15 I felt that your passion of battling gives an expression: “A Zangoose that was weak to Fighting, wasn’t actually weak to Fighting.” (That was how I felt.) Just like Dragonite in Gen 1 only learns Dragon Rage, so like what MandJTV said, “A Dragon, wasn’t actually weak to another Dragon!” (in Dragon Types Then vs Now) I always thought some type matchups are weird, like Fighting doesn’t resist Normal, so most are prey to strong STAB Normal moves. 5. 19:03 I used Belly Drum + Slash with Indecisive the Linoone. I did waste the Ice Beam TM on it originally during Ruby, but it ended up being helpful anyway, as well against Pheobe with Odor Sleuth.
