Ruby being a battling prodigy but not wanting to battle full-time so that his Pokemon don't get hurt was very interestingly done and especially when this secret was revealed in front of Sapphire and Sapphire called him out for it when he did not want to help save Hoenn when he is in fact a skilled battler, this moment always got me hooked honestly

Peak moment fr

[@outbreakperfected5704]

He wasn’t just a prodigy he took down A SALAMENCE WHEN HE WAS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD WITH A POCHYENA, A SKITTY AND A RALTS

[@ajflink]

I feel like there is a disturbingly long list of anime and manga characters who are prodigies in one thing yet would rather be doing anything except for that. The only characters that come to mind are: Gohan from Dragon Ball Z easily having the potential to surpass Goku and many other characters with dedicated training but never really wants to completely follow in the footsteps of his father. Itachi Uchiha from Naruto being this ridiculous combat prodigy yet would rather spend his days bonding and having fun with his brother and being a pacifist at heart.

[@sdbzfan1]

yea she wasnt mad he was running away, she was mad he was running away while being perfectly capable of helping its like seeing someone die of stavation and not even offering them anything to eat while eating a sandwich, you look terrible

[@sdbzfan1]

@@ajflink the reason those still work is because they have no reason to like fighting, Gohan only defends people he doesnt train for the fun of it like Goku and Itachi is good person so much so he became an outcast so his brother would live on, Ruby in the context of the manga and what Sapphire saw was someone who could help refusing to do so, Gohan will always help those in need and put himself in danger whether he can win or not thats what he realized after Piccolo died for him was if you can help, help Itachi picked his brother over the entire clan because he loves him that much which is why he chose the safer route of eliminating the whole clan by himself then have his whole clan and brother wiped out by the high ups of the hidden leaf

Basically, the manga fans changed what Tajiri-san really said.

Ruby and Sapphire is my favorite arc in the manga! Seeing them grow, how much they were willing to change for each other. And carrying it on in the ORAS arc.

The ending to their part in the Pokemon Adventures manga is incredibly clear telling that there are multiple timelines, hence multiple canon stories in the pokemon world. The games, the manga, and the anime are all canon because of that cute little onion. Which makes it even more awesome that some fan works like "I'm dating a magma grunt" (mc brendan and a random magma grunt) can feel very possible.

So Sapphire looks exactly like May from the anime, but has a completely different personality and is a wild girl. Interesting.

becauses she's a counterpart to May (video games), it's normal she looks like the other counterparts. They're all based on the game version.

[@cupidok2768]

How come may has a spin off....😑😑😑😑

[@AJTheSilence]

because they are both based of the same character which is the female character you play as in pokemon ruby and sapphire the game version didn't really show personality so the writers had to give them their own interpretation of what the character's personality is gonna be like

[@fallengabrielle5185]

@@cupidok2768 she doesn't, this is another counterpart of May (game) who is extremely different from May (anime). Pokémon Special or also known as Pokémon Adventures is a manga that is an adaptation of the games, each arc representing one or two main video games in the franchise.

[@brandondennis7527]

Yep. You'll find a lot of instances of this in the manga, where characters from the show and characters from the manga were both based on the same characters from the games, but interpreted very differently in their own separate cannons. Brock, for example, exists in pokemon adventures (aka pokemon special) but is actually an extremely competent gym leader, and not mindlessly obsessed with every woman he comes across. The character Dawn is named Platinum in Pokemon Special, and is effectively an entirely different character altogether.

[@WooperLeTrooper]

Brother was decades late on the gossip But really though, the adventure manga was insanely good. I took a break during the first Unova arc a bit over a year ago, but I hope to start again soon.

Ruby is the reason why I fell in love in Pokemon, and why I still love it now. Its such an amazingly written story, followed up by DPP series as well which was awesome too.

[@QuietRiot3991]

The ending revelation makes me remember how the passage of time as a kid feels so much longer than when you're an adult. I'm guessing Ruby and Sapphire were 6-7 when they fought the Salamence, which means there was only a 3 year time gap until they met again to fight Seviper. To them, it probably felt more like 10 or so years since they lost each other.

After much convincing Gold decided to discover the (unkowns) and their mystery of existance, Gold spent years for answers, the longer he searched the more his vision and world he knew pixelated, Gold started to question his reality and his own existance the more he starts to realize the unknowns are telling him his world is nothing more than a video game. Time passes and Gold becomes insane and crazy (hardly recognizeable). He starts to search for Celibi violantly, because he knows she has the ability to much through time AND possible through deminsions. After months of dedication he found Celebi, he didnt even bother bringing his pokemon he used to love, and catches her with his masterball. Later: He forced celibi to let him out of this world, he hurt Celebi, because she didnt obey him. After a moment of sielent Celebi fufilled Golds wish and went through demensions (outside of pokemon world) but with a prize, Gold has been cursed and became a half human and half pokemon. His body floats around and has no limbs, when Gold feels angry and lonely, while his good side of emotions keep him alive and normal. Gold won, but with an ultimate prize.
