>>58142299>>58143798I thought it was only Viz who switched Green and Blue's names, not CY but maybe I misremembered. Guess CY just switched it up halfway or something.
Anyway found the raw, Ruby beat Green (m) holy shit?
And people call Emerald the gary stu but this is worse. I can believe Ruby beating Blue (f) since she never made battling her career, but not Ruby beating League runner-up/gym leader Green (m) I refuse. This is officially the worst manga of all time. I'm going to ignore this thougheverBut if I had to make up some lore reason for this bullshit, the Hoenn Pokedex holders were particularly plagued by mental illness for some reason, with personalities more extreme than most of the characters who came before them. Mostly when it comes to Ruby and Sapphire anyway, Emerald was just kind of there and he matures a lot more later on. They all ended up hyper specializing in their talents but were fuck ups everywhere else especially with their social skills. So Ruby could be smart enough to excel at things that doesn't involve relationships, but narratively he's some cursed vague atheist who's permanently dead inside. Most Pokespe MCs don't have "mentally ruined forever" as part of their character but Ruby does.
Meanwhile desu even Sapphire has OP mary sue levels of magic superpowers herself, down to the narrative almost always implying she has the moral high ground which not even Ruby gets. But Sapphire also gets hard nerfed by both her own stupidity (thinking she's a dog, being illiterate, "Ruby totally won't lie to me again WAIT OMG") and Kusaka/execs, so you never get to see her go all out. So she might as well not have those powers at all (unless her powers suddenly reappear for a minute when they're convenient for the shitty plot)
