  • After completing the grueling Professor Oak's Challenge in Gold and Silver, you all wanted to see me continue the series and take on the 3rd generation. Today we're going to see how easily you can complete Professor Oak's Challenge in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

It feels like I'm re-playing the game in each of these videos, but instead of having to see a playthrough of 20 hours, I see and learn a lot more within a fraction of the time. Your vids are truly something special and I thank you for all the effort.

    @AbsolBlogsPokemon Před 4 lety +21

    Another great challenge!! This looks like the most fun one to me imo thanks to the rare candies, but that might also just be my Hoenn bias leading me to believe that! Not being able to Fly that long must have been fairly frustrating! Also, I'm sure these things have been mentioned by people in the comments before, but I figured I might as well note them here in case they haven't:
    -Slugma's ability actually doesn't reduce the hatch time until Emerald, much like the Compoundeyes ability, so your Wynaut hatch was still the full time
    -Magneton and Electrode present an interesting dilemma in New Mauville, since they're both available in the wild there at 1% - I wonder if it would be quicker to chance finding them and catching them or if it would pay off more in the long run to grind for more candies with Voltorb and Magnemite like you did
    -I had NO IDEA you could fish at Ever Grande before using Waterfall - I always thought that Luvdisc was the most pointless post-badge 8 Pokemon (still doesn't make it any more useful though lol)
    -Was happy to see "WHY" take up residence in the party as a pickup-er after a while LOL
