Pokémon Bingo FAQ

Q: So what is the goal of this?
A: Cinco bingo (as opposed to regular bingo) consists of completing goals on the board in order to complete 5 bingos (rows/columns/diagonals). Cinco means five in Spanish.

Q: Are you all racing on the same randomized ROM?
A: Yes, there would really be no point in racing if we weren't on the same ROM.

Q: What color are you on the bingo card?
A: Usually I'll be purple, but if Keizaron is racing with us, I switch to green. Green is used to mark things we have information on otherwise. Sometimes Herc is a jackass and takes green instead though.

Q: What are the stars on the bingo card?
A: I use the stars to mark things that are "guaranteed" to get (i.e. fixed items/events/etc) to help me in routing out each bingo card. They have no bearing on what goals anybody has.

Q: Why are you able to skip every Team Rocket event past Slowpoke Well? Why did Lance give you so much stuff after Lake of Rage?
A: We use a special version of Crystal that was altered with various things such as the ability to make spinners move at fixed intervals, skip Team Rocket events, even out encounter rates, among other features.

Q: When searching for certain wild Pokemon, how do you know when to stop looking in certain areas?
A: The ROM that we use gives us a consistent 7 slots in ground based encounter tables (such as grass and caves) and 3 in water.
