Screenshot SB plays a POKEMON HACK FROM HELL [Complete!]

[Roivann]

hey SB update ruby destiny again

WAIT WHY DID THEY GIVE (what I presume are) EVOLUTIONS TO VOLBEAT AND ILLUMISE

You know, I don't actually entirely hate Illaimant. (more like ill-lame-mant, amirite? *shot*)

The other one, though... lawdy lawdy.

WAIT WHY DID THEY GIVE (what I presume are) EVOLUTIONS TO VOLBEAT AND ILLUMISE

They aren't even bug type, nor are they obtainable ingame

They did the same to Ninetales and Eggecutor

That's just plain bizarre

[Lance Masayoshi]

That's just plain bizarre

This game, and the trilogy of these games are bizarre

And the fact theyre's gonna be a Ruby Destiny 4 scares me

Good lord, the adventure continues.

Hey SB wanna lp all of them? -is shot-

[SB.]

why did i promise manix i would update today

[spoiler=PLOT AND PLOTHOLES]

wow what a nerd

GAME PLS.

WHY

I JUST WANT TO GO ONE UPDATE WITHOUT SEEING A FUCKING "RIVAL"

IS THIS SO WRONG

I was thinking too.

Thinking of how much I hate you.

Happy birthday JB!

Cool, who gives a shit?

Me too. Maybe after that I'll be done with this shitty game (hahaha no).

THE RUBY DESTINY DRINKING GAME

EVERY TIME AN ELLIPSIS APPEARS, TAKE A SHOT

ONE UPDATE WILL PROBABLY KILL YOU

Isn't that Rayquaza's job?

i'm sorry if anyone at home is actually playing this drinking game

maybe surviving to the end of the update was optimistic

This is definitely not plot related.

Calling bullshit on this one.

You'll see why later.

I am not repeating these screenshots.

What the fuck game.

You just said he was the guardian of the sky! Keep your facts straight, game.

Fuck off, this was Kyogre's shtick.

Anyway, coming to this town was COMPLETELY 100% POINTLESS AND A WASTE OF TIME, YET WE HAVE TO DO IT ANYWAY.

Welcome to Ruby Destiny, everyone.

Anyway, so where do we have to go instead?

...Fuck you too game

NO

WHY ARE YOU HERE

LALALA I'M NOT LISTENING

A GOLEM SOMEWHERE USED EARTHQUAKE

MYSTERY SOLVED YOU ENORMOUS SCRUB NOW LEAVE ME ALONE

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL OF THIS

YOU MEAN THAT PLACE WE WERE JUST AT? GREAT. THANKS GAME.

And then another earthquake happened.

...And for some reason, the railings of the bridge broke and we fell off?

My headcanon is just that the MC really wanted to get away from Leanna, honestly.

Well, we're back here again.

MORE DRINKS

So, ready for a graphical glitch?

For some reason, Solarbeam's background never disappeared.

Thanks, destinedjagold.

Anyway, we're not dead. Dammit!

DESTINEDJAGOLD HAPPENED THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

I THINK I'M OUT OF ALCOHOL AT THIS POINT

Meet ?????, not to be confused with ????????, the stupid recurring eyes boss we keep fighting for no real reason.

Masochism, poor life choices and bad rom hacks.

What about you?

I tried to leave, but Manix won't let me.

-me, whenever I see one of my rivals.

This conversation is really boring, I'm low on screenshots and I've lost part of my update once already, so I'm just going to leave in the important parts.

tl;dr version is

"APRIL WHAT ARE YOU DOING"
"GRUNT DUDE GO TAKE HER AWAY"
"ALSO FUCK YOU KID YOU BEAT US ONCE OR SOMETHING"

And then, we fight.

Easy.

Oh?

Okay. There are a couple of problems with this.

One: we had a Pokemon out, and could freely switch.

Two: Why do the symbols matter at all?

Three: How would we not notice this?

FUCK

GET IN MY VAN

jk it's just prison

NEXT TIME: THE WORST PART OF THE GAME

MAYBE

[Lance Masayoshi]

You're actually in the worst part of the game

You lose all of your badges and have to recollect them

can you handle the shitiness SB

[SB.]

i've played the game to near completion once on a file that isn't this lp and i'm further on the actual lp file than i've updated

i'm actually in postgame stuff and am sat on 1500~ images i'm too lazy to upload most of the time

[Lance Masayoshi]

Oh

Damn, my apologies, then.

[Grace]

160 drinks

i counted

[SB.]

[spoiler=I HOPE YOU'RE NOT STILL PLAYING THAT DRINKING GAME]

Well, now that we're in prison, at least the horrors of Ruby Destiny can no longer reach us?

[20:49:11] SB: how to ruby destiny

[20:49:15] SB: WE WILL STEAL YOUR POKEMON

[20:49:18] SB: AND YOUR POKEDEX

[20:49:21] SB: AND EVEN YOUR BADGES

[20:49:25] SB: BUT KEEP YOUR PHONE LOL

I fucking hate this game. Maybe we can call someone and-

FISHERMAN ABIGAIL

HE'S REALLY INTO DIETING

I think updating twice in two days is a bad idea, I'm already starting to lose my mind to sheer RAGE.

Anyway, on with the um... "plot".

Yeah, we're totally staying here. Yep.

OH GOD I NEED TO GET MORE ALCOHOL

Anyway, iirc you need to do this talk MULTIPLE TIMES with no indication of this for NO REASON WHATSOEVER

Guards shift or something.

Convincing.

this link may be of interest for anyone still playing

It was a disguise!

I have no idea how it worked, how she acquired the uniform or why she took it off while she's still in their fucking base of all places, but whatever. ~It's Ruby Destiny just go with it~

The door is open and stuff.

MISTY IS WET

but srs talk, considering we can't see this, and I don't actually remember the submarine docks even existing, why are we meant to care about this?

yeah it's totally important that we lock the cell again

so now we need to RUN AND GO FIND THEM

AND IT SUCKS

THANKS FOR STATING THE OBVIOUS APRIL

oh yeah this is a fun mechanic

you're basically railroaded into taking a specific path that you have to find through trial and error and it sucks

You mean those fuckers who gave us the stupidly long tutorials?

They can rot for all I care.

NO

THEY JUST CAME HERE BECAUSE THEY FELT LIKE IT

ISN'T IT OBVIOUS YOU FUCKING HALF-WIT

I seriously find myself wondering if I'll develop anger issues because of this game.

Anyway, MORE UNFUN MECHANICS

You basically need to check every shelf in this place.

There is no indication that we are supposed to do this. I spent 30 minutes on my playthrough the first time trying to figure out what to do, and even the "walkthrough" program destinedjagold included doesn't say anything about this iirc so it's even worse. There are no help rocks to give us a hint either. Because who needs those, anyway?

tl;dr version: fuck this game

So eventually we get to this place... because we can't get to anywhere else because of arbitrary roadblocks in the form of grunts standing around.

So, we listen in.

"but all of you chumps who don't do drugs can stay on duty"

so yeah then a bunch of the grunts disappear

there was totally a point to this existing, right guys?

I hate this game.

Anyway, after searching EVERY OTHER SHELF IN THE BUILDING

We get these back. Thank god?

Yeah, they aren't.

Now, when you play this game the first time and see this, what's your initial reaction to this?

To go look some more, of course.

Except they're not there.

You can't get them back, ever.

And you have no indication of this, so you just /wander aimlessly/ until you figure out that you're meant to leave.

HACK OF THE YEAR, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN

But yeah, they don't even let us leave yet.

3edgy5me!!!

please distract them while i run away

Less than usual? I'm not sure if this is me catching the screenshot poorly or destinedjagold is losing his touch?

Also lol graphical errors.

And then we battle in the TOTALLY A CAVE AREA

thanks game

So then we RUN AWAY

We spawn back over here, anyway... and we can't leave because you're too busy talking to us, idiot.

MAKE IT STOP

Don't worry.

I don't care about you either.

Wait what?

No, I want to fucking leave let's just go already.

are you a fucking moron

obviously yes, but still

Every time I see this screen, I cringe.

Oh, yeah. Evil people.

And she takes the hit for us or something.

I don't really care.

So we do it.

As far as I know, these aren't repeats.

At the end of the LP, I really need to count up the total number of screens I've taken where it's just ellipsis spam and nothing else. Seriously.

This is hilarious because you can join Team Earth for NO REASON later on in the game.

Isn't this game great?

I-

I'm done.

Wait.

Hold on a second.

Okay, now I'm done.

I think I'm the depressed one here, game.

Free pokemon get?

NEXT TIME:

FUCK

[Ice Sage]

so many ellipsis jesus lol

sucks that they really force you to get badges again >_>

that is so dumb

[MRDRHAWK]

I bet Andrew has a Venusaur

AND HE'S STILL A DOUCHE

[Lance Masayoshi]

I bet Andrew has a Venusaur

AND HE'S STILL A DOUCHE

i think he does

He also has a Roserade I believe

[Psych]

okay but can they mega evolve

[SB.]

thankfully, mega evolution was not a thing at the time of this game's completion iirc

or at least it was too far along for destinedjagold to go back and edit it in (thank god)

[Lance Masayoshi]

This game was made in 2010-12ish

Way before the time of megas

[LuxSpes]

First time I read 'High Grunt', I thought it was a bad rip-off of 'Hugh Grant'

[SB.]

Since last update I discovered the image limit no longer seems to exist...

[spoiler=THE EXTRA LONG UPDATE]

ARE YOU GUYS READY

BECAUSE I'M NOT

Something else that's really /FUN/ about this section of the game???

You have RIVAL FIGHTS.

Before EVERY GYM.

This game is terrible.

Horrible. Hopefully you've been worse.

He flushed it down the toilet?

Wait, no, that was your Goldeen.

hooray who gives a fuck about you

Probably because you're a massive scrub.

And it'll be a lot longer if I have my way.

Go away.

[15:23:21] SB: you know what i would like

[15:23:39] SB: to get through an update without getting genuinely angry about 10 pictures in

[15:23:45] SB: this game is that bad

LUVDISC I'M SO SORRY

fuck you rain.

MICHAEL BAY TOLD ME THIS WAS THE BEST MOVE TO MAKE

SCREW YOU MICHAEL BAY

YOU TOO LAPRAS

STOP THAT. FOR FUCKS SAKE.

As opposed to fake strength.

I don't know whether to laugh, cry or scream now when I see this.

Everything in this game is wrong.

Holy shit I expected an ellipsis in here to "explain" 10/10

HOW COULD YOU GAME

YOU BETRAYED ME

AGAIN

I still have no idea what a Guardian Pokemon is?

Good job on explaining that, game.

Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng

I agree that Nicholas is a scrub - but that doesn't mean you aren't.

Here's the thing - I don't think that anyone actually knows that Gabrieleon even exists???

Like, I don't think it's ever mentioned to be important - ever.

Honestly, he'd be better off getting wonder-traded away than under your care, but okay.

THANK GOD.

Screw you too, not!Wallace.

Ruby Destiny is suffering.

Of course I'm not okay. Any sane person would've stopped playing this abomination by now.

Oh, by the way, the dialogue like this and with Claire occurs with EVERY FUCKING LEADER.

You can imagine getting this shit back on track will take forever.

hahahahaha

i can't help but laugh at how not-seriously he takes them, considering they blew up a fucking school or something

DARK ORGANIZATION

every time I see this name I cringe.

Unfortunately, yes.

Is there like... actually a reason for any of this story arc to exist beyond "filler"?

Because this game is already painfully long on its own (and oh boy you guys haven't seen the ridiculous fucking postgame bullshit yet)

For reference: here is something resembling SPOILERS for the Pokemon league.

[spoiler=WHAT THE FUCK JAGOLD: VOLUME 5024]

There are 17 of these.

One of them gets even more overleveled, I think.

And then there's the champion.

You can't make shit like this up.

But uh, yeah, battle time?

Everything is shit.

SO MUCH FOR YOUR SHITTY GOLDUCK CLAIRE

Mafia sucks.

Wait, wrong game.

This move alone is enough of a reason to use Lapras.

The bosses in this game are pure bullshit later on.

I think I ended up having to reset for some reason though, but this time:

FRENZY PLANT THE BEST

No, I need symbols because HMs are dumb.

Just like this game in general.

THANKFULLY, I WON'T

UNLESS HE PULLS SOME SUPER BULLSHIT LATEGAME

Also, something else!

It was uh... a Sea Incense, I think.

So it wasn't useful to me either.

Thanks game.

[Lance Masayoshi]

I never attempted the after game

I should, maybe, Reese's in pieces

[Jedi]

So you have to reclaim badges to be able to use your hms again.

10/10 game design would break over my knee

[Lance Masayoshi]

pretty sure you can still use your HMS, I could use fly when I played through it

note I say pretty sure

[eclipse]

The more I see of this script, the better I feel about myself. Between the gameplay and the dialogue, there's enough padding to ship every Christmas gift in the world safe and sound. ;/

[SB.]

note I say pretty sure

nope this is 100% wrong

we don't even have fly yet, and you can no longer surf which is why you need all of your badges back gameplaywise iirc

[Jedi]

Have padding will travel.
