Yellow RBA no underflow faq

Yellow RBA no underflow faq

What are you trying to do?
Beat The Gyms in Pokemon Yellow as fast as possible in reverse order, without using item underflow

Why?
I'm considering submitting this to PSR marathon as it seems like an interesting run

What is the WR?
The only completed run (to my knowledge) is a 38:13 by entrpntr

What is your PB?
See splits

Where can you save time?
I did a small amount of optimizing that should save a couple of seconds

What is your goal?
Just to do runs really, see if I want to do this more

What pokemon are used in this run?
Pikachu is used as the starter for obvious reasons
Pidgey is caught because we need a second pokemon for THE MANIP, and it also learns fly
Jynx (Yes, Jynx) is used as the main battler, since it OHKOs every pokemon (Blaine's Arcanine is a range) and learns teleport, which saves a lot of movement.

Is Jynx really the fastest Pokemon, or are you just using it for the meme?
It's the fastest Pokemon I've looked at, all others either don't learn teleport, which loses all the time we'd save from a shorter cry and a faster LG, or in the 1 case that does learn teleport (Venomoth), we have to evolve a venonat, which involves either a reset to get out of battle so we can candy before Giovanni, or a very slow Giovanni fight since venonat sucks, neither of which seem very fast.

Does this run use any RNG manipulation?
Yes. I manipulate no forest encounters, then a pidgeotto deathfly, then THE MANIP
