Pokémon Omega Ruby 45 Mega Stones F.A.Q.

Pokémon Omega Ruby 45 Mega Stones F.A.Q.

Q: What are you trying to do?
A: I am trying to collect all 45 Mega Stones in Pokémon Omega Ruby as fast as possible

Q: 45?  Aren't there 49 Mega Stones?
A: Yes, but we have decided that Diancite (event only) and Garchompite (requires online) are not required for the speedrun. In addition, I'm not counting the two Orbs (Red and Blue) as they are not Mega Stones.

Q: What is your best time?
A: My best time is 7:28:xx

Q: What is the World Record?
A: There is no World Record as this category is non-official and far from optimized.  The current fastest time is my time

Q: What are you playing this on?
A: I am playing this on a 3DS with a capture card installed

Q: What's the hardest part of the run?
A: Definitely the hardest part is getting Lucarionite.  Lucarionite requires getting Master Rank in all 5 contest categories and then beating Lisia in a Master Rank contest as well.  This takes about 2 hours

Q: What Pokémon do you use in the run?
A: I will be using a Mudkip/Marshtomp until we are gifted a Latios, Latios until we catch a Groudon, Kyogre until we catch a Rayquaza, and Rayquaza until the end.  Along the way we will also get the Cosplay Pikachu for contests, Castform because he's forced on us, a Gen 2 starter (you guys should vote on this!!), and Swablu to evolve into Altaria to receive the Altarianite

Q: What are you using to show the Pokémon at the bottom?
A: http://pco.bobchao87.com/#/app/main

Q: Why are Charmeleon and Mew listed?  They don't have Mega Evolutions
A: Charizard and Mewtwo have two stones, and the PokéDex Counter doesn't support listing the same Pokémon twice

Q: What's your goal time?
A: Today? Just to finish. Ultimately, I'd love to see a sub 7 time
