===========================================================(m4)-------------------------------------------- 4 > FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS --------------------------------------------

Any way I can thank you for this guide without emailingyou?

A: If you joined my Advance Wars Revolution forum at (http://awrev.com/forums ), I would greatly appreciate it.It's a forum generally dedicated to the Advance Wars series,but there is plenty of discussion on other games, includingPokemon, as well as general discussion on just aboutanything else. Thanks!

Q: What's the main goal of this guide?

A: To get you 8 badges and to beat the game. Unlike theothers, this will not focus very much on Item Lists, how toget the best stats, that sort of thing. Most of this guidewill always be to get you through the game, especially bygetting you through the game with the most amount of EXPwithout needing to get extra for the Pokemon League.

Q: Is Johto or Kanto in the game?

A: No, and never will. Hoenn is in a land far away fromJohto or Kanto.

Q: I deleted the TM Dig! What do I do now to get it back?

A: Get a ground type that learns Dig...some learn it intheir 40s.

Q: Can you trade back and forth from/to the older Pokemongames?

A: No, I'm sorry.


9/211

Q: How many save slots are in Ruby/Sapphire?

A: Sorry, but there is still only ONE save slot in eithergame.

(m5)------------------------- 5 > HM LIST -------------------------

=================================================================================================================================================================================

(m5)------------------------------------- 5 > NON-SPOILER SECTION -------------------------------------

I won't do spoilers here, if you want them simply scroll tothe FAQ.

Anyway, here's what you'll probably want to know even if youdon't want spoilers:

The starters are:

Treecko - Grass Type, stays Grass Type even afterevolutionsTorchic - Fire Type, when evolved will add Fighting TypeMudkip - Water Type, when evolved will add Ground Type

There are no signs of Johto or Kanto in the game, as it isfar away from Hoenn, the land of Ruby/Sapphire.

The legendary Pokemon are (respective to their versions):


10/211

Ruby: Groudon, LatiosSapphire: Kyogre, LatiasBoth: Regi-Ice, Regi-Rock, Regi-Steel

There are 202 Pokemon you can get in both games combined.There is no way of transferring Pokemon to Ruby/Sapphireyet.

There are 8 gyms like in Blue/Red/Yellow, but it is muchlonger than Blue/Red/Yellow. You can think of it assomething between the Gold/Silver/Crystal games andBlue/Red/Yellow, as there is a lot more you can do evenafter you beat the Elite Four and catch the legendary types.There is a new Pokemon Contest you can join.

Your rival is a lot nicer in the game, and will always bethe gender opposite of who you choose. You will also meettwo "other" rivals that will fight you on the journey aswell.

It has a lot nicer graphics than the previous games. All 2v2battles are optional except the battle in the 7th gym, whichis required.

I hope this clears up some confusion to all. Have fun whenyou get it!

=================================================================================================================================================================================

(m6)------------------------------ 6 > NEW FEATURES ------------------------------

There have been quite a few new features in the first everPokemon game on the Game Boy Advance. Here are the mainones:

2v2 Battles - Optional battles. You go to twins who battleyou. You will use starting Pokemon and 1st one on the bench.However, a gym leader will force you to have a 2v2 battle,but that's cool, right? :)

There are three types of bikes in this game! A Regular Bike,a Mach Bike, and an Acro Bike!

There is a new HM, Dive!

There are now Pokemon Contests your Pokemon can enter!

There is now a Trainer Dex you can get.

More Pokemon - Contrary to common belief, there aresupposedly 386 Pokemon in the game.

=================================================================================================================================================================================

(m7)--------------------------------------------------- 7 > POKEMON RUBY/SAPPHIRE DIFFERENCES ---------------------------------------------------

Pokemon Ruby-only:

- It's red!- You'll only fight Team Magma.- You get the Red Orb.- Some Pokemon are Ruby-exclusive:

- Groudon- Mawile- Nuzleaf

- Seedot- Shiftry- Solrock- Zangoose

- When Groudon is released from the underwater cave, SunnyDay is activated into the weather.

Pokemon Sapphire-only:

- It's blue!- You'll only fight Team Aqua.- You get the Blue Orb.- Some PoKeMoN are Sapphire exclusive:

- Kyogre- Lombre- Lotad- Ludicolo- Lunatone- Sableye- Seviper

- When Kyogre is released from the underwater, Rain Dance isactivated into the weather.

It's pretty much a decision of what color you like more, asyou will see more of that color in the game. I personallylike the name Sapphire better, but don't underestimate Rubyas their legendaries are cool too :) . Red vs. blue, whichstrikes out in your mind more?

=================================================================================================================================================================================

(m8)---------------------------------- 8 > BEFORE YOU BEGIN ----------------------------------

Pokedex: This is the Pokemon dictionary. All Pokemon you'veseen go here.

(m9)------------------------------------ 9 > GENDER DIFFERENCES ------------------------------------

There are not very big differences between choosing the Boyor the Girl, but here's some noticeable ones as I beat Rubywith Brendan and I'm using May for Sapphire:

You start out in the right house if you're May, left houseif you're Brendan. The lab will be on the other side all thetime. The lab would be in thesouthwest of Littleroot Town if you're the May, southeast ifyou're the Brendan. Your rival is Brendan if you're May, Mayif you're the Brendan. Duh! And,of course they look different. :P

=================================================================================================================================================================================

(m10)------------------------------- 10 > INTRODUCTION -------------------------------

The characters of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire:

Boy Brendan (Main Character)


14/211

Lives in: Littleroot Town/Petalburg CityDescription: He will tell you to fight him again after yougo in for the first time when you have 4 badges. He willgive you a Boat Ticket after you beat the Pokemon Leagueafter you walk down the stairs.

Archie is the leader of Team Aqua of Pokemon Sapphire, whileMaxie is the leader of Team Magma of Pokemon Ruby. They willencounter you a few times in the game, as well.

The other characters have more minor roles as you willbarely see them as much as these listed above.

---------------Littleroot Town---------------

When you first start, you will be in Littleroot Town. Youstart out in a truck where you and your family are moving in

to the Littleroot Town. Choose new game and start. You arefirst asked if you want to play as a boy or girl in the game(the first one is Boy, and the second is Girl). You areasked for your name. I suggest you put in the same characterfive times or something you recognize easily so you can seewhen you're mentioned in the game (of course, if you havethe English version, there shouldn't be a problem). Chooseyes, which is the first option. When you hear the truckstop, you will be able to move out of the truck (east).

Note by K_brainbox: You can press select to switch fromJapanese characters to English letters if you press selecttwice for Pokemon and/or yourself.

Enter the house that you're next to, watch Machokes moveyour furniture, and go upstairs to your room. Go to the PCand take out a potion, and also set the clock. Set the timeright, for you will not be able to change it again at all.Use left and right to set the minute hand. Now go back downand your mom will let you get out of the house after you setthe clock. Now, if you're a girl you enter the left house,and if you're a boy enter the right house. Go up the stairsafter your rival's mom talks to you. Talk to the person inthe opposite gender to you (which will be your futurerival). They seem to be much friendlier than in the previousgames, and will give you items during the journey. They willtell you that their father (the Professor) is not there atthe moment. Exit the house, and go north onto Route 101.

---------Route 101---------

Pokemon on Route 101: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wingull,Wurmple

It seems that someone (Professor Birch) is attacked by awild Poochyena. You should see a bag below it. Click A on itand you will get your choice of your starter Ruby/SapphirePokemon!


15/211

=================================================================================================================================================================================

(m11)----------------------------------- 11 > STARTING POKEMON -----------------------------------

Inside the bag, you find three Pokeballs. Unfortunately, youcan't choose all three (nice try though!) so choose one ofthem.

Your choices are:

Treecko lvl 16 (Grass)/Groyle lvl 36(Grass)/Sceptile (Grass)

- This is basically the fastest starter. Treecko and hisevolutions are effective for the first two gyms, but youwill find him not as useful later through the game as thegyms are strong against him. Pick him if you want achallenge (which is what I did in my Ruby game).

Torchic lvl 16 (fire) Combusken lvl 36 (Fire/Fighting)Bashamo (Fire/Fighting)

- A fire type starter, Torchic is the slowest starter. Hegets more and more effective as the game goes along, similarto Charmander in the RBY games.

Mudkip lvl 16 (Water) Marshtomp lvl 36 (Water/Ground)Swampert (Water/Ground)

- The water starter, Mudkip also gets more useful throughthe game, but he is not so effective as the Pokemon Leaguehits. The in-between extremes of Treecko and Torchic.

Remember that this decision affects your whole game.Although all starters are useful somewhere, it varies! Andthere's also a difference in what game you play in.

Ruby - I chose Treecko, but the best is Mudkip due to hisanti-fire resistance.

Sapphire - I chose Torchic, but the best is Treecko due tohis anti-water resistance.

=================================================================================================================================================================================

(m12)------------------------------ 12 > WALKTHROUGH ------------------------------


16/211

---------Route 101---------

Level Range of Pokemon here: 2-3Pokemon on Route 101: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wingull,Wurmple

The Poochyena will immediately walk up to you and fight yourstarter. Your battle has begun! It should not be hardbecause your starter is Level 5 while the Poochyena is Level2. If you attempt to lose and get down to 3 HP, thePoochyena will run off so you won't die. Insane, isn't it?You shouldn't lose more than a few HP anyway!

After you win, it turns out that the person you saved isProfessor Birch. Go back to Littleroot Town!

---------------Littleroot Town---------------

Talk to the professor in his lab (below your rival's house),and he will be very grateful that you saved him. After alittle talking with the professor, you can nickname your newstarter Pokemon. As usual, yes is the top option. A secondchoice comes up, and you will have to answer yes, possiblyasking you if you want to be a Pokemon Master. Now head outnorth back on Route 101.

---------Route 101---------


Go back north to Route 101, and you will be able to fightsome wild Pokemon. It may be helpful for you to get to Level6 by Oldale City, the city to the north. There are notrainers on this path.

-----------Oldale City-----------

This is the first city you encounter, and city where youwill want to heal at the Pokemon Center. The Pokemon Centeris labeled P.C., of course. Healing is no different from theother games, so talk to the lady behind the counter (stillNurse Joy? I don't know...), and head your way north, as youcan not go west on Route 102 yet.

---------Route 103---------

Pokemon on Route 103: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wingull,


17/211

Wurmple, Surskit, Seedot (Ruby) or Lotad (Sapphire)

Now go north to Route 103, and at the northern part of theroute, you will meet your rival again. Be sure to becompletely healed and at Level 7 to guarantee a win. Yourrival's Pokemon is only Level 5, and doesn't have anyelemental attacks against yours yet, but you'll need it.However, you don't need potions once you're Level 7, so justgo fight. Your rival is the person who was in the houseopposite to yours in Littleroot Town.

Your lineup should now be:

Level 7 Starter

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rival (Brendan or May) Battle (Your Starter)

------------------------- ------------------------ -------------------------Level 5 Treecko Level 5 Torchic Level 5

Mudkip ------------------------- ------------------------ -------

------------------Level 5 Torchic (??? EXP) Level 5 Mudkip (403 EXP) Level 5

Treecko (??? EXP)------------------------- ------------------------ -------

------------------You get: 1860G

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unlike the previous Pokemon games, this rival seems to be alot nicer and will give you items on your journey. After youbeat your rival, go back south to Oldale City.

-----------Oldale City-----------

Your rival will be waiting for you just south of the city.You will want to heal, as you may face some battles back toLittleroot Town, so heal again.

---------Route 101---------


Your rival will once again go south to Littleroot Town, andyou will have to follow your rival down again. These wildPokemon should bare no threat anymore, and you can level upto level 8 at this point.

---------------


18/211

Littleroot Town---------------

Upon arriving in Littleroot Town, enter the Professor's lab(southeast house)where youwill receive Running Shoes (you can run by holding B, butonly outside) fromyour mom, and5 pokeballs from your rival, as well as a Pokedex from theProfessor. Onceagain, headback north, the only direction you can go.

---------Route 101---------

Level Range of Pokemon here: 2-3

Pokemon on Route 101: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wingull,Wurmple

Head north from Route 101 back to Oldale City.

-----------Oldale City-----------

Instead of going north, this time go west to fight a fewtrainers onto Route 102.

---------Route 102---------

Pokemon on Route 102: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wingull,Wurmple, Lotad, Hassboh, Surskit, Ralis

Again, wild Pokemon are no match here, but you may get toLevel 11 here. However, you will fight your first trainerbattles here. Here's all the info you'll need:

Trainer 1: Youngster CalvinLevel 5 Zigzagoon (63 EXP)You gain: 80G

Trainer 2: Bug Catcher RickLevel 4 Wurmple (45 EXP)Level 4 Wurmple (45 EXP)You gain: 64G

Trainer 3: Youngster AllenLevel 5 Poochyena (58 EXP)You gain: 48G

Trainer 4: Lass TianaLevel 4 Zigzagoon (51 EXP)Level 4 Zigzagoon (51 EXP)You gain: 64G


19/211

You can also get 4 nuts and one item south of Trainer 4.Since you get more EXP, take this as your chance to win big.You should arrive at Petalburg City eventually.

--------------Petalburg City--------------

You will arrive at another city sooner or later, and it isPetalburg City, where you will find a gym! The Hoenn Leaguerequires you to get 8 badges. Go in the GYM and talk to theperson inside. Your father (5th gym leader) will talk to youand say that you must need 4 badges to enter this gym.Wally, one of your lesser rivals, will also show you how tocatch a Pokemon, which you should already know. He has aLevel 7 Zigzagoon, and catches a Level 5 Seedot with aPokeball. Now move west onto Route 104.

---------

Route 104---------

Pokemon on Route 104: Namakoro, Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Silcoon,Taillow, Nincada, Lalutos

Items on Route 104: Chesto Berry, Cheri Berries, LeppaBerries, X Accuracy, TM09, Potion

You are now on Route 104. Move west to fight the boy withthe blue cap on the beach. According to Wildeboer([email protected]) he walks around like a stupid idiot:)

Trainer 1: Youngster BillyLevel 6 Tanebo (94 EXP)Level 8 Lotad (100 EXP)You get: 128G

Trainer: Rich Boy WinstonLevel 7 Zigzagoon (90 EXP)You get: 140G

Move north into Petalburg Woods.

---------------Petalburg Woods---------------

Pokemon on Route 102: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wingull,Wurmple, Silcoon, Lotad

Items on Route 102: Pokeball, Paralyze Heal, Great Ball, PPRecover (Thanks, Wildeboer!)

You can get four items here (not one, as I thought earlier).Wildeboer says that if you go west from the entrance, andthen go south, you will find a Pokeball. Now head along theroute up to Trainer 1, the Bug Catcher.

Trainer 1: Bug Catcher Lyle


20/211

Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)Level 3 Wurmple (34 EXP)You get: 48G


Level 12 Starter

Your starting type should now be Level 12 after this battle,and have 4 moves. The first and last should be your startingnormal move and your first elemental move. Go north and takethe item (Pokeball), then east and north to see a guyspinning around. Depending on your game, a Team Magma (Ruby)or Aqua (Sapphire) member will run towards you and battleyou with a Level 9 Poochyena.

Trainer 2: Team Magma/Aqua GruntLevel 9 Poochyena (105 EXP)You get: 180G

Your Level 12 starter should make mince-meat out of thePoochyena. After you win, the Team Magma/Aqua member willleave. The first man will give you an item (a great ball)for your efforts, and then run north. Continue your way onthe path north, then west. Once you reach your way west, youwill see your next trainer battle, a Bug Catcher battle.Torchic is highly effective in this forest, but you canstill win with Mudkip or Treecko. I suggest you catch asecond Pokemon (any) at this point. Maybe a Zigzagoon (ifyou don't have Mudkip, for future reasons of having asurfing type). If not, choose something else for Cutin the future (in the case of Mudkip). You will want 2Pokemon by the end of this forest. In the items list,Pokeballs should be at X5. You should now be at the BugCatcher (Trainer 3).

Trainer 3: Bug Catcher JamesLevel 8 Silcoon (111 EXP)You get: 128G

Torchic is highly effective against these bugs. Treecko andMudkip should just use normal elemental attacks. Anyway,your starter should now be at Level 13, and you should havenow have a backup Pokemon. Continue your way north. Take theitem (a PP recover) north of Bug Catcher 3, and exitPetalburg Woods to the north to Route 104.

At this point, if you have a Torchic and will just use him,you must evolve him by now (Level 16). If not, level him up

You may get lucky as the rock types 2/3 of the timewill use harden, so you CAN win. Use Ember on Geodude andDouble Kick on Nosepass. You can win easily! If you choseTreecko or Mudkip, just beat the rock types as they areeasy. Also, talk to the red man in the house left of thePokemon Center in the city till you get HM01, Cut. It's notvery useful but it can get you some extra items. Now makeyour way north on the route, grab the item near the sea,come back to the city, and go east.

And Ibeat Mudkip's evolution with Torchic's evolution inSapphire, Torchic'sevolution withTreecko's evolution in Ruby. I like that. Anyway, continueyour waynorthwest. You can'tgrab the item in the middle until you get surf. Your rivalwill now ride offon his/herbike. Continue on your way to Trainer 2.

The Level 23 Magneton will be your biggest threat. I used ahigh-level(Lv.26) Geodude totake them out in Ruby when I had Treecko, but Torchic'sevolution (Lv.30) forSapphire.Sonicboom can be quite annoying, however. Even so, Torchicand Mudkip'sevolutions shouldeasily beat even Magneton.

Now you have three choices on where to go. You may go west,north, south, oreast. I willsuggest that you go north at this point.

Attach Rock Smash on a Pokemon, then make your way northonto Route 111.Zigzagoon isprobably you best bets for HMs, as at this point he cancarry Rock Smash anddo little tointerrupt the others (and can also later equip surf!).

---------Route 111---------
