I am apparently really good at Pokemon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire.
I had a single game going for over the past week or so as I tried to fill up the Pokedex and grab everything that I had left to catch on the Ruby board. Once I got close to catching the last one I was like "hey, I bet I could just break the score counter and get it to display a bunch of 9's" since it seemed like I was pretty close to that point.
Then I realized I had underestimated how many digits the score counter was capable of displaying. O_O And then, since I had spent the whole game gaining extra balls at a way faster rate than I was losing them (and it's not like those things are particularly easy to get...) and was in no way struggling to remain where I was, I wound up just playing really terribly on purpose because I wanted the game to be over so that I could switch to the Sapphire board (and if I just started a new game, then my current high score wouldn't be counted). So I had to actively fight against all the strategies that had been ingrained into my mind at that point, avoided certain powerups, committed sepuku when I accidentally gained those powerups, and then I still managed to catch like 5-6 more Pokemon and play at least one more bonus round, bringing my high score up significantly beyond the point where I assumed it would break before I finally got game over.
And you know how, in a different thread, I mentioned that the save file I used to always have just erased itself out of nowhere and I had to start over? Well, because of that, I saw that a lot of the default high scores were still there -- and from that I was able to deduce that I had only ever played a grand total of six (soon to be seven) games in total since my save file was erased. I am one away from having a complete Pokedex, and all it's going to take is one more game on the Sapphire board. I am going to complete the pokedex after having played only seven games of pinball total.
I wouldn't say it's a particularly easy game to begin with, since I definitely remember not being nearly as good at it and having to work to get to this point, but uh... yeah, the skill level I'm at now is kind of ridiculous. XD
Odds are it's gonna take one long-ass Sapphire game to get that Latias, though. But I'm ready.
