Pokemon Red/Blue NSC FAQ

Pokemon Red?blue Any% NSC FAQ

Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator?
A: Yes, I actally am playing on emulator. Playing on the new release of Gambatte Speedrun, which now also emulates resets from Gameboy Player. I'm still in Germany atm, so I don't have my console, so emu it is for now.

Q: What does NSC mean?
A: It means No Save Corruption. Beating the game with save corruption is as simple as just corrupting the save immediately and then going into HoF, so this category was made to be a bit more interesting/competitive. It's seen a lot of reroutes throughout the years, there was another one this year which I haven't done yet, so gonna get a cheeky PB.

Q: So what is the route now?
A: Basically you catch a Spearow, deathfly to a Pikachu, beat 3 bug catchers and the game is over.

Q: ???
A: Yup.

Q: What's the the resets? Manip?
A: Yeah, so you manip for your Trainer ID before the run starts. The other manips are for getting the Level 5 Spearow, and then getting the Level 5 Pikachu to kill you (including manipping it to crit you if you do it all right)

Q: What's with you name?
A: That's part of the setup for the glitch.
