Pokémon: Ruby and Sapphire are the debut games of the third generation of Pokémon video games and the first ones to be released on the Game Boy Advance. With this generation comes a whole plethora of new features such as Pokémon species-specific abilities, double battles, Pokémon contests, and more. Ruby and Sapphire take place in the region of Hoenn, where trouble is stewing about due to two terrorist organizations that want to change the climate for highly questionable reasons. As with before, this gets in the way of your quest to be the best, and it will be up to you to resolve it.

FractalFusion ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/F... ) plays the Sapphire version of the game and beats it using a game end glitch that's different from the one used for this TAS of ( https://tasvideos.org/4278M ) the Emerald version. This run relies on the "Mail" item being glitched when it is stolen with the move "Thief" during a double battle and, with further setup, taking advantage of a parser to read a section of memory later corrupted by the glitched mail, which causes the game to immediately skip to the Hall of Fame and credits. For more information on how the mail glitch works and the strategies needed to set it up, you can read the author's notes ( https://tasvideos.org/10103S ).

There is also an alternate encode (    • [TAS] Pokemon Sapphire "game end glitch" i...   ) by the author that contains commentary, Pokémon battle statistics, and memory addresses to help illustrate the run.
