Pokémon Pearl | Any% JPN FAQ

Do you know Japanese?
- Please see here: https://pastebin.com/fzpLvJ3L

WHY AREN'T YOU USING THE NEW ROUTE?!
- No point for JPN. I might incorporate it in some capacity later, it depends on if I can figure out Eterna Forest.

Why did you reset?
- Likely one of 6 reasons.
(1) I didn't hit the seed (I check the NPC movement, if the guy looks Up then Left as he's about to be cut off the screen, I hit the correct seed.
(2) Starly growled me. 50% to get growled and it's an instant 7s timeloss if it happens. No point making 56/WR harder than it already is.
(3) I messed up manip (This likely happened because I did incorrect movement)
(4) I missed extended. This makes 56/WR impossible (I'm fairly sure it even makes 57 impossible, so I kinda need it.)
(5) I died. Speaks for itself.
(6) The run became too bad to be worth continuing (losing a bunch of time to bad RNG)

Are the Target splits the WR splits?
- No, they aren't. The PB/WR column is the WR splits. Target is for a 58:0x time.

Is this run good?
- Probably? I don't know, feel free to ask me.

Why do you pick girl?
- It's faster.

Why Chimchar?
- It's faster than the others.

What are Chimchars Nature + IVs?
- 29/31/24/30/15(-)/31(+) [Naïve]

What is the hardest fight?
- The 1st Trainer after the catching tutorial, Mars, the Pachirisu double, Gardenia

Why are you moving so unoptimally?
- I'm doing RNG Manipulation for no encounters + spinner passes.

What is your goal time?
- 57:xx

What is WR?
- 58:17 by scoagogo (me).

What are the grades? (A+/A/B/C)
- These are actually more for the benefit of the viewer, to see how good the segments were in my PB, with A+ being the best, and C being the worst. Shows easily that losing time to an A+ segment isn't that bad, but losing time against a C segment is really bad. It also allows viewers to see where I'm expected to be able to save large amounts of time.
