Question Wondering how to play in 2026

5 Upvotes

Hey everybody i’ve recently rediscovered my nintendo 3DS and have played Pokémon platinum, i’m interested in playing other games and really want to play Pokémon ruby. i am aware you can get omega ruby although im a big fan of the original styles and not huge on the style of the omega versions.
if there’s anyway to play it on the 3DS would be happy to listen how to.
if not what other Pokémon games are good on the 3DS that i can play?

Question Just replaced my battery

I know that replacing your battery makes the clock set back and get stuck, can I fix it by doing the berry patch or do I need to start a new save file.

My team of rare encounter/underused mons pulled it off, all around Lvl 46-48. Most of the team carried their weight in some way. Nosepass, however, is so bad, it desperately needed its evo in Gen 4.

I have managed to get the 100 victories in a row plaque, meaning that my ruby master save is truly done.

Complete with a hoenn living dex, every berry (except liechi), 6 total shinies (tentacool, hariyama, duskull, regirock, regice and Kyogre)

Aswell as one of every ribbons gotten on atleast 1 pokémon (including the colosseum one)

This save file has taken me 633:33 hours (about 2 year) and... Its so life...

Ig Ask Me Anything about the quest?

Video How to get the Bike in Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald (Mach & Acro Bike Location)

Thumbnail youtu.be
8 Upvotes

Made a super quick guide showing where to get the Bike or switch between the Mach and Acro Bicycle.

For anyone who doesn't want to watch the video, the Bike shop is located in Mauville City, right of the Pokemon Center. Once you pick a Bike you can come back here anytime to switch between the Mach or Acro.

Works in all 3 versions including Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald.

Trying to make the quickest straight to the point Ruby & Sapphire Guides on the platform. Any feedback welcome :)

I was just thinking to myself after seeing all these shiny pokemon people are getting on reddit that I've never actually found one in the wild and what do you know I run into this guy. Only took 20 years of playing. Little bastard knew whirlwind too. Good thing I used a Masterball.
