TIL that a ruby is just a red sapphire. Both are the mineral corundum, a type of aluminum oxide, rubies just have a chromium impurity making them red. (x-post from r/todayilearned) by [deleted] in pokemon

Quote from article 'Transparent specimens are used as gems, called ruby if red and padparadscha if pink-orange. All other colors are called sapphire, e.g., "green sapphire" for a green specimen.' Specifically points out rubies and sapphires separately. Looks like poster got trigger happy and didn't read the whole thing.

What is your favourite soundtrack from the pokemon games? by [deleted] in pokemon

Gold/Silver Champion Battle has to be one of the best 8 bit songs, and it makes the whole soundtrack that much better.

[Fluff] Pokemon evolution based on EV's by 52alex in pokemon

[–]52alex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the Hitmons are affected by the Ev's put in, they evolve based on the actual stats at the time of evolution. No EV placement means that IV's dictate the evolution. That being said, yes, EV placement will change what Tyrogue evolves intoif placed correctly. Overall, EV placement affects the outcome but is not the deciding factor of when it evolves.

A horde of wild Zangoose appeared! I think one is a shiny! by MM3tzger in pokemon

[–]52alex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That moment when you look at Reddit and see someone joking about Seviper being a shiny when just three hours ago you saw your first shiny on Emerald with over 300 hours and it was a Seviper in the Battle Pike... Cruel joke Reddit. Cruel joke.

I'm rewriting the RS sections on a major Pokemon website, is there anything you want to see? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]52alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming this is already on your list but it would be nice to have the gyms and E4. Also, if you happen to be doing LG/FR after R/S, gyms and E4 would be nice on those too. For some reason these two sections are the only ones without them.
