It literally says in the article that it was Pokemon Sapphire the fish beat, not Ruby

reported for false advertising, SMH

---

Fake news wow

---

This is peak Anagram

---

Ruby looks nothing like Sapphire

---

I was impressed when I thought it was Ruby but now that I know it's Sapphire it's not really that interesting tbh.

Thanks for the Google link.

Not impressive, since the game simply has too much water.

I read an article about those fish when they found an undiscovered glitch a while back. Cool to see they finished the game.

From what Ive read there were many, many times that the owner intervened, even as frequently as between each individual Elite Four battle

so basically it doesnt count imo

---

aw damn.

regardless, i feel like i need more information on how the system worked- i.e., what the camera decided corresponded to various buttons

Like this

I have still never completed a game from this generation. Get to a point with all the water and I get annoyed.

rip randomizer Pokmon Emerald. That one was sick

No wonder the fish were able to do it

I call bullshit. I read many posts of people trying to explain this, saying how Pokemon is a "linear progress game" meaning that whenever you achieved something, you can't "go back". Meaning is you beat a gym, you don't need to beat it again. You get a item, you don't need to get it again etc
So by using the "Infinite monkey theorem" a complete random amount of keystrikes should beat it evantually.
Which makes sense! but what doesn't make sense is the amount of days taken
3200 Hours is just 133 days. I expected it to take at least 10 times as much
There are so many places to go to, so many "exact tiles" places you need to at, and talk to the exact people

Also, Sootopolis City Gym is close to being entirely impossible in RNG wise
If the owner really intervened like Wazzup said, I am sure he intervened in the Sootopolis Gym. And then if he is allowed to intervene "sometimes" how can we know how many times he did?

---

Eh if the the host took something that was going to take 600 years and put his thumb on the scale to take it down to a manageable 4~ months then I think I'm okay with that. It puts interesting and enjoyable content in the world which strikes me as a net positive.

---

seems like the "manipulating" was by organizing the keys so that commands were in the fishes' chosen path.

Because it was all streamed so you can see exactly what he did at all times.

Of course they could beat sapphire. The games strongest pokemon through the story portion (kyogre) is a fish as well.

Now Pokemon Ruby on the other hand...
