I had a 2 year old Ruby ROM and I re-opened it yesterday to find its missing... I can see it in my phone system files... But when I search it up in the emulator, it shows file not found.

Do you wish that gen3 beta Pokemon that looked like either a turtle without a shell or a generic herbivorous mammal existed in the final game?? This mon could evolve into almost any pokemon, like it could be a Wigglytuff or a Roselia randomly.

I have caught like several box full of suppetts and some duskull too but didn't get any spell tag, is this even obtainable? I need one. I got other items very quick but not this one what could be?

Hi all,

I’d like to preface this by saying I’m a total pokemon noob; this is my first play through of Ruby on the GBA. I’m playing on a repro cart. I know they aren’t fool proof with saves, but it I’ve noticed no serious issues so far and it seems to save correctly for the most part, or so I thought.

I’ve found that certain aspects of my game may not be saving though?

For example, I’ve fought certain trainers more than once, without making serious in game progression. Ive battled the gentleman to the west of Lilycove 3x now within the last several days of gameplay. Each time, he was said the same quip: “I’ve done extensive traveling and am confident in my abilities!”

I’ve found items on the ground where I swear I’ve picked them up already; on Route 123 I’ve picked all the berries from the berry master a while back, and they have stayed that way (I don’t care much for tending crops)- however the pokeball on the ground right by the berry master has reappeared, after Im nearly positive I had 100% completed that area.

Can trainer rematches be this frequent? Do ground items spawn over time, or does it sound like my cartridge is not saving correctly?

Why is this? I thought dark against steel/electric is neutral.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I'm looking for one on ebay and I was just wondering why sometimes the title of the game on the cartridge looks orangey and sometimes it looks like the ruby red colour I'm familiar with. My assumption is that it's got to do with the the lighting in the picture, and not that there are any differences between cartridges, or that some cartridges are not authentic, but just wanted to ask here for confirmation before pulling the trigger!

Hey I don't know but Do these fake gen 3 cartridge Can run out of battery too, For obviously I assume yes. Most of working batteries today must be fakes I assume.If they are a bit new.

Had a copy of Ruby for a few years, just found out it’s fake, and just bought myself a real copy of Sapphire and was wondering if I can trade over Pokémon without corrupting them to odd eggs or something like that. Hope I’ve come to the right place to ask this question and would be very grateful if someone could provide a solution.

I want to do a “Team Rocket” Nuzzlock on my gba using an action replay. I’ve tried a bunch of different ones online but either the trainer battle pops out a basically dead wurmple or I get a circle with a question mark in the Pokémon’s place when the battle starts.

I had to use master ball to catch :'( . Caught in victory road, these hariyamas have whirlwind, and I could not stomach the risk of this thing running away. It is my first full odds shiny in all of my years of gen 3!

In my opinion best way to level up is using The Pokemon you want to level up or if its too low then using exp share and a strong Pokemon on victory road or going to a place where Pokemon can one hit KO the wild pokemons but the Pokemons are strong leveled. and using the left out party slots for pickup Pokemons Zigzagoons,linoon or Phanpy You get rare candie 10% of the time. Haven't heard about this method anywhere so i thought I should atleast talk about it.

I had a Ruby cartridge when I was a child, but found out to be fake(of course) recently(there are many marks it's totally fake).
however, I want to know if the fake cartridge's ROM file could still be legit when it's transferred to the cartridge that has a battery(Everdrive gba mini).
(I know this too is not "legit" at all, but just want to play the legit version of the game in an affordable way possible)

In my guess, if this works,

• Everything's good and my berry will now still grow even when I'm offline 😭

if it doesn't,

• Now I know the fake cartridges has the fake ROM file itself with moderated code to prevent any battery related features in the game whatsoever.

+) update
I had my dumper arrived, so I tried to load my fake cartridge's .sav file with an emulator running official ROM file. and it worked!

Maybe the .sav file can be loaded whether the ROM file is fake or real..🤔
