Talk:Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire

Why does it say that they have hold items? I have this game and when I hatch the eggs, they aren't holding items.--Blazevoir 11:51, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Not sure. Also, how is this 2 players? ^ht14 23:15, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I have yet to run into any hatched eggs that hold these items, so I will remove them in the revision that I am working on. --Teradyne 16:10, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Bridgette

I have someone saying that her name is spelled "Brigette" (without the d) in the instruction manual. Since I don't own the game, is it a typo on the manual's side and her name is Bridgette in-game, or is this person mistaken? Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 14:31, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

"Brigette" is the correct version according to both the game and the instruction manual. If someone with more knowledge about the system sees this, please move the Bridgette article to a version with the proper spelling, and I'll gladly edit this article to point to it. --Teradyne 16:10, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Absol - Box Art Trivia

"Absol is the only non-legendary Pokémon featured on the English box art."

I think this statement isn't quite correct as 'English' is referencing the NTSC box art, the PAL box art for this game in the UK and Australia both feature several non-legendary Pokemon these versions are of course both in English, I feel as though English should be changed to NTSC to avoid any confusion. - unsigned comment from TasmanSmith (talk • contribs)

Fixed. --Abcboy (talk) 05:27, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Pokédex Mode

Just wondering if info on Box’s Pokédex Mode warrants a mention in this article.

If you have the National Dex or a game with it is used with Box, you can sort Pokemon by their national edition numbers but not their Kanto or Hoenn region ones. If you just have the Hoenn Dex, you can sort Pokemon by their Hoenn region numbers but not their national edition ones. If you can't obtain the National Pokedex in Ruby/Sapphire, non-regional Pokemon will be listed at the bottom. Raph136 (talk) 18:51, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Some Kirby handheld games can also be played on the Wii

In the Emulation section it says: "This is the only official way to play any handheld game (Pokémon or otherwise) on the Wii."

Well, in the Wii Kirby game Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition two Game Boy games are included: Kirby's Dream Land and Dream Land 2, which are also emulated like other Virtual Console games weirdly enough.

I don't want to come like a "well, actually" guy but that comes against the claim in the page here in the way it is written. There are other handheld games that can be played on the Wii, officially of course, if we take that claim literally in the way it is written.

My point with this is to ask both what exactly is the message that that line wants to give, and if the line should be reworded or not. If it does meant it literally, those Kirby games are exceptions, and it seems weird to me that these Pokémon and Kirby games are the only such cases in all of the NGC and Wii library, so the text could be rewritten to say like "one of the official ways" in general. Other way to rewrite it in such case is to only mention Pokémon, removing the "otherwise". If those two really are the only cases maybe the Dream Collection could be mentioned there.

But maybe the text doesn't mean it that literally and generally, because there are difference between both cases. For one you need the original cardtridge and console, while in the other one the rom is already included in the game disc. So if the line means it that way, it could be reworded to specifically mention that, the fact that it is the only way to play a handheld cardtridge on a Wii. And I don't go to make that change because I don't know what the line specifically means, it is too generally written. So, thoughts? -Kirbeat (talk) 04:46, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
