Q: Why do you keep resetting and changing the time?
A: It's for the RNG manipulation. I need to hit a specific frame about 88 seconds after I start the game at 8:57 AM on 05/22/2098.

When I hit the right frame I will get an ID number of 02084. From there, I manipulate RNG through specific movement to get a Naughty Chimchar with 25/31/26/30/27/31 IVs and Hidden Power Grass (69). I also manipulate encounters to catch Bidoof and Starly. If I mess up the movement, I lose the manip and will most likely reset. IDs for each frame:

-3: 09690
-2: 28002
-1: 52260
 0: 02084
+1: 54853
+2: 35943
+3: 62906

- is too early, + is too late.

Q: What are you doing after Lost Tower?
A: I'm doing RNG manipulation again to catch a Bibarel and encounter a Chansey. I need to steal a Lucky Egg from Chansey to make the route work. Lucky Egg gives the Pokémon holding it 50% more exp.

Q: Which Pokémon do you use?
A: Chimchar is the main Pokémon. Bidoof for Cut and Rock Smash. Starly for Fly and Defog. Bibarel for Surf, Strength, Rock Climb, and Waterfall.

Q: Why do you pick the girl?
A: She saves time. Lucas talks less, so it saves frames on text (about 2 seconds overall).

Q: What is WR?
A: 3:41:46, by crafted.
