Reverse Badge Acquisition FAQ

Q: What are you trying to do?
A: Defeat all 8 gym leaders, in reverse order, as fast as possible.

Q: Why?
A: Because its fun!

Q: What is the best time?
A: The best time is 25:26 by stocchi

Q: What is your PB
A: 25:56

Q: What do you need to get on a run?
A: I need a to do the Squirtle manip, not die, and catch pokemon in Cerulean cave

Q: How likely is this to happen?
A: 0%

Q: Does this run use glitches?
A: Yes, it uses Brock through walls to get to Cerulean Cave early, Cooltrainer to corrupt a bunch of memory, and item underflow to destroy the game.

Q: Where can you save time?
A: My early game was bad, though this now route loses time there. The late game menus have been heavily optimised, so most of the timesave is there

Q: What is this new route then?
A: Using a combination of Cooltrainer and BTW, we can corrupt the 3rd/4th items in our inventory. By repeatedly doing this, we can acquire item underflow, while also boosting our Kadabra to lv 114 (and give it the stats of a Beedrill). From here, every connection warp has been optimised, overall saving over a minute.

Q: What is your goal time?
A: 23:xx
