Video games and anime sometimes tie in with each other, plus video games kick ass. =P Discuss them here.

Nick, Karasu, Sauro, Aozame, I've been all of those in R/B/Y/G/S

In Crystal I'm a girl called Naru, in Ruby I'm Karasu again (male, obviously), and in Sapphire a girl named Mutsumi.

And someone in the anime should get a Ralts. As I mentioned before, they kick ass.

Red: David
Silver: David
Ruby: David (noticing a pattern here?)

I'll probably call him "David" again when Colosseum comes out, and also when (if?) Fire Red and Leaf Green are released in the US.

I like all the pokemon games. They are rather addicting ^^; I Only have Yellow, Gold, and Ruby ( i've also played Red, Crystal and Sapphire tho) but I've played Ruby longer than the others. (400+ hours, im so proud of myself :') )

The names I've used are:

Yellow
Hero - Satoshi
Rival - Shingeru

Gold
I didn't get to name the characters because my bro found the game, already 10 hours in, on a bus, so I decided not to change them. They are:
Hero - Van
Rival - I forget ^^;

Ruby
Girl Hero- Haruko
Guy Rival- If I could I would've changed it to Toji or Kairi

So is it possible to have a female rival in Ruby and Sapphire?

Yeah. Whichever gender you don't pick is your rival.

OMG. I'd die for Pokemon latest versions (after Yellow u_u;;;;;; ) if I had the money.

But I've always used Noylius at the beginning, cause Ash was a boy after all. Though Noylius has always been a girl but still it was more suitable for that!

And you know, the rival you had to name ? *ashamed* I always called him "Trouduc", which is a short version of a French phrase meaning [spoiler]asshole[/spoiler], this word being in spoiler tag cause it's a curse word I think.

Ah, Pokemon. I always named myself Jeff. In Red and Yellow, my rival's name was Gabe, because there was this kid named Gabe who was a real jackass. No matter how good I was at the trumpet he kept improving because his parents could afford private lessons (AND a silver trumpet). I might have named the rival in Gold, Silver, and Crystal Gabe as well, but I'm not too sure.

Ruby and Sapphire are REALLY fun. I dislike the sexual tension between Jeff (me) and MAY . I'm like, "Nooooo! Don't fall for the seductress! You stupid ho!" Why can't someone like Enrique Iglesias live next door? :(

Pokemon's sort of slow when it comes to social issues. It's nice that they give you the option of being a girl, but now they throw in this stupid plot where your next door neighbor HAS to be of the opposite sex.

And of course... there IS the whole "capturing animals and making them fight" theme.

So, what's "popular and hip" in Hoenn these days? My latest entry was inspired by Jacko himself... "Hot children".

What's happinin' in my version of Houen (I prefer to spell that the Japanese way...it just looks nicer to me.) is "Ruby Torchic"

When I do interviews with my character, I try to capture how I'm feeling at the time.

I believe mine was "Romantic Anime". Helped me find a Feebas tile real quick, too (they were in the sixth tile I fished in while Feebas hunting)

I liked insulting Gabby and Ty's fighting abilities in interviews...

Well, as much as I hated to do it, I've turned back to Slateport Coast to go Surf out to and explore the Abandoned Ship, since you guys have told me there's an Ice type TM in there.

On the way out there, I made a pit stop in Verdanturf Town and participated in Contests. My Beautifly won her Smart contest, and Flit, my Swellow, won in the Cool contest.

Also on the way, I found the Berry Master's house....that has got to be the motherload of all the berry trees!

UPDATE: I FINALLY beat Winona! ::angel choir sings "HAAAAA-LE-LU-JAH!!!!"::

Owned the Red, Gold, Silver, and Sapphire versions.

I remember logging 70+ hours on Silver, going through BOTH Johto and Kanto. I'm still stuck at beating Satoshi (the final boss).

That, and I stopped at the final gym leader on Sapphire.

Completed the Red version, and caught Mewtwo.

Ash was hard for me too...but you really don't get anything for beating him.

I'm currently in Lilycove City, en route to the Safari Zone...I can get a Pichu there, which means I'll be able to have a Pikachu in my Sapphire version too!

UPDATE: Just got done with my first run through in the Safari Zone...no Pichu. (bummer)

I did however, catch the following:

Oddish
Girafarig
Natu
Doduo

They have Pikachu in the Safari Zone, not Pichu. I caught one in Ruby.

^_^ You still have to breed to get Pichu.

I'm in Mossdeep City now...and should I use the Master Ball I got on Kyorge, the Regis, or Rayquaza?

UPDATES: Made a detour back to Verdanturf Town and entered my Castform in a Beauty contest. (it won) Now I need someone to compete in Tough and Cute, so I returned to the Safari Zone

Oh...I just now got a Pikachu...I named her Lita (after Sailor Jupiter) Had the Pikachu I got been a boy, I would've named it "Ash"

I would use it on Rayquaza. All of the Regis are on level 40, and IMO none of them are that hard to catch. Kyogre is tougher, but not impossible.

I had used mine on Latios, and I feel it was a waste... Because soon after, I caught my friend Latias with an ultra ball with hardly any effort as all :x

I know Rayquaza is at lv. 70, the Regis are lv. 40, but what lv. is Kyorge?

Kyogre (and Groudon in Ruby) are lvl 45, iirc. Not that hard to catch, compared to Ho-oh/Lugia in G/S (¬.¬ Damn Recover)

I caught Regiice and Registeel easy enough, but Regirock was a real pain in the ass. Took me about 20 tries to get it...

I used my Master Ball on Rayquaza, and have yet to encounter Ruby's Lati...

I don't participate in contests... just boring to me.

Use the Master Ball on Latias.
