\___/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- \___/
[qncpd]
Version 2.7 - The main chance is that I removed some movesets of the Moveset
setion. Only last stage Pokemons are in that setion from now on. Instead of a
moveset for Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile I have a moveset only for Sceptile.
Version 2.62 - The great and bigger version, I consider it the nearer of what
GameFAQ autorhs name as final version. I took some stuff out the Pokemon Math
setion which now is named Important setion. I made that because in my mind
players don't intereset so much for formuls, but so in data, ways and
explanations. I modified Pokemon Contest setion and took all that contest
effects out. There's no more that in because I thought unnecessary and I will
no mention that because for a Contest you need an in-depth guide. Another
update is that Absol's moveset in setion 24.2 was wrong, so I corrected it
because Crunch was one of the moves in and actually Absol can't have this move
nor by level, EM, TM or movetutor. You can notice the contest chart is bigger
because I changed it a bit.
Version 2.0 - I corrected my damage type moves attack and lots of Gramar
mistakes. Thanks for msantos10 for warning me about electric moves on rock and
steel. Actually I knew the right, but for any reason I had put them wrongly.
Anyways, if it wasn't for him... thanks, so.
Version 1.3 - I made some changes in the Pokemon Math topic.
Version 1.0 - I began to do the walkthrough. I wanted very much to write a
walkthrough of Pokemon, so I thought on start with R/B/Y, but we are in
Advance generation, so better trying FR/LG, and for any reason I began Ruby
and Sapphire versions. There's much else than types and such, besides what I
had played so much Stadium and now I'm impressed with so many news. I took
months at GBA emulator up to now to start on writing a walkthrough. What I
didn't find, like legendaries and some items, for example, I researched in
websites and walkthroughs of other people, and looking for facts I could
finish it.

wasn't a easy task mostly when I decided to put the Pokedex in. This is a

Ruby and Sapphire amused me for a long time until Emerald comes over. Ruby is
so cool as Sapphire although most of the time I played R/S I had chosen
Sapphire because I really love it, so my walkthrough is directed to both
versions although Sapphire is the title name of it and also some scenes I'll
mention Team Aqua instead Team Magma, for example, and that's not an
impediment to you do not use this walkthrough if you're at Ruby. More 135
Pokemons were added to a new region, the Advance generation brought out many
news and inovations to Pokemon world, which now is overdiversified.

[rbesp]
Ruby and Sapphire was released at 2002 in Japan, and later at 2003 in United
States and after to the whole world. This is not important, but here I like to
say some historic knowledge. §:P
These both versions are subsequent of Gold, Silver and Crystal versions, which
were inaugurated in GameBoy Color, and now Ruby and Sapphire inaugurate in
GameBoy Advance. Game Freak invested in innovations and said these versions
would be different ones. Many additions beyond the new Pokémons, of course. In
G/S/C come out 100 new Pokémons, but in R/S Game Freak overcame, 135 new
Pokémons came out, totaling 386 Pokémons.
Some of the new Pokémons didn't please the fans because they don't remember
the face of the ancient Pokémons, like Pikachu, and some of them remember very
much the competitive series, Digimon. Even though, it's worth playing. At
beginning you can find strange, as I did, but soon you'll familiarize with
them. There is Beautifly, that remembers Butterfree, Corphish, that does
Krabby, and Sealeo, that remembers Dewgong, for example.
======================
4.1. Ruby vs. Sapphire                                                 [rbvsp]
======================
The differences between Ruby and Sapphire are much if compared to the previous
versions. As long as G/S and R/B/Y the difference was just the exclusive
Pokémons, here the differences raised. The villains changes depending on the
version you play, some important items too, and besides the more important
legendary of that version.
Ruby Version        |      Sapphire Version
============        |      ================
Team Magma is villain    |     Team Aqua is villain
Maxie, the Magma leader   |    Archie, the Aqua leader
Magma Hideout        |        Aqua Hideout
Red Tent          |          Blue Tent
Red Orb           |          Blue Orb
Groudon           |            Kyogre
My walkthrough has Sapphire version as base, but that doesn't impede you do
use it for Ruby version. The differences are mentioned above and very clear.
Instead of Magma Hideout in Ruby you have Aqua Hideout in Sapphire. When I say
Team Aqua considers Team Magma, and vice-versa. The Team Magma isn't exclusive
of Ruby and Team Aqua isn't exclusive of Sapphire. Both teams appear up in
both versions. In Ruby Team Magma has Team Aqua as rival. In Sapphire just
invert the situation.
=======================
4.2. Exclusive Pokémons                                                [pkexc]
=======================
As it's typical of Nintendo, some Pokémons are exclusive of a right version.
This is a sale tactic, and also a way to make the players entertain themselves
by trading one with each other. These trades are realized with a link cable,
which you use to connect a GameBoy to other.
Below the versions and their respective exclusive Pokémons.
Ruby Version           Sapphire Version
============           ================
Seedot             <              Lotad
Nuzleaf            <             Lombre
Shiftry             <           Ludicolo
Zangoose           >             Seviper
Solrock            <           Lunatone
Mawile             <            Sableye
Latios             =             Latias
Groudon            <             Kyogre
Each Pokémon is in front of the other one which isn't in the version this one
in. For example, instead Zangoose in Ruby you can have Seviper in Sapphire.
Instead of Seedot in Ruby you have Lotad in Sapphire. Get it? Choose the
version that contains the best Pokémons and begin to play.
I myself prefer the Sapphire version because of the Pokémons. Once Kyogre is
on advantage to Groudon, water against ground. But this isn't a reason to you
do not play Ruby. Maybe you prefer this one instead of my preference. I also
played Ruby a lot; it was the first one I played.
=====================
4.3. Changes of G/S/C                                                  [mdgsc]
=====================
From G/S/C to R/S many things have change. First, the platform is other.
G/S/C, as games of GameBoy Color, had a square screen and few colors, however
it has fun us. Now R/S to Gameboy Advance you can notice the sound is clearer
and alive colors. but the platform wasn't the only thing that changed, of
course the game had some changes itself, and many ones. See them below:
1. You can't visit the previous islands. You remember in G/S/C you could come
back to Kanto region and fight to the ancient gym leaders? Here in this
new version you can neither visit Johto and nor Kanto.
2. 135 new Pokémons, totaling now 386 Pokémons.
3. There's no Team Rocket here. Though you find Team Magma and Team Aqua,
which are not evil, they just have exaggerating plans that interfere at
ecosystem.
4. You don't choose the name of your rival. If you're a boy your rival is May.
If you're a girl your rival is Brendan.
5. Double battles (two of your Pokémons against two opponent's Pokémon) are
the huge news. It's necessary at least two Pokémons to participate in one
kind of battle like that. The two first ones are switched out.
6. Berries get back from G/S/C, however with a change, now you need to plan
them you want some more of that berry.
7. Each Pokémon has an ability now. It's an effect that is activated in
battle or out it always helping your Pokémon.
8. Natures are other Pokémon that each Pokémon has now. It will influence in
the raising of one stat and in the decrease of other one. There are 16.
9. Pokémon Contest is the new place where trainers can bring their Pokémon to
compete the best in such attribute. You also the combination of attacks
that are evaluated by the judge and depending on how much the audience gets
impressed.
10. You can build for you a Secret Base. It's like your second house.
11. If you have the Running Shoes you can run by holding the B button.
12. Spikes move has triple damage if used three times. The opponent suffer a
triplicate damage which is approximately 12~15% when switched out.
13. New weather effect: Hail. Damage in all non-ice type Pokémon.
14. In some places will rain and the battle will be affected by it like
Rain Dance. The same for a strong sun light, that interferes in battle
like the move Sunny Day.
15. Rock Smash now is HM06. HM06 Whirlpool is no longer a HM nor TM.
16. Flash doesn't illuminate all the screen, just a round area around you.
17. A new HM, HM08 Dive, used to dive into underwater caves.
18. Sky Attack has 30% changes to cause the foe to flinch.
19. Low Kick has a dependent damage that varies with foe's height.
20. In the Summary Screen of you Pokémon you can see in full detail how you
obtained it: place, level and the ball used to catch him.
21. Roulette Game added at Game Corner.
22. Removed the Card-Flip game off the Game Corner.
23. Instead of call the opponent of "enemy" now it's called "foe".
24. The name of the badges has a space (Stone Badge instead of Stonebadge).
25. There are two bikes instead one, and you choose which you one you want to
pedal. The difference between they two is the maneuvers and speed.
26. The Pokémon doesn't animate when switched out or seen in Pokédex. :(
27. A icon to each Pokémon instead one to the egg group. :)
28. The badly poison can be reverted if the Pokémon is switched out.
29. The PC glitters when accessed.
30. Two words that composed the specie now have been separated (like Dodrio
was Triplebird and now is Triple Bird).
Any change I haven't found? E-mail me.
=====================
4.4. Absente Pokémons                                                  [pkast]
=====================
The Pokémons below are not in Ruby nor in Sapphire. If you wanted to catch one
of them trade with Fire Red/Leaf Green, or use GameShark. Most of the Pokémon
of Gold and Silver can be obtained with Pokémon Collosseum disc bonus.
