Pokemon Leaf Green Ch'ding% FAQ

Pokemon Leaf Green Ch'ding% FAQ

Q: What are you trying to do?
A: Beat Pokemon Leaf Green as quickly as possible using Farfetch'd as the main Pokemon. Ch'ding is the nickname of the Farfetch'd you trade for in Vermilion City.

Q: What are you playing on?
A: BizHawk, a mostly accurate emulator for Game Boy Advance games.

Q: Why aren't you playing on console?
A: I don't have a good TV for it right now, and emulator is more convenient anyway.

Q: Why Leaf Green instead of Fire Red?
A: Leaf Green has Sandshrew in the wild instead of Ekans. Sandshrew can be caught as a Cut slave if you didn't see a Rattata on Route 1.

Q: What is the world record?
A: 2:31:16 by Werster.

Q: What is the route like?
A: You use Squirtle/Wartortle until you reach Vermilion City, then you catch a Level 15 or 17 Spearow and trade it. From there, Farfetch'd mostly cruises through the game because it learns Swords Dance and gets 50% more experience from being a traded Pokemon. Full notes here: https://pastebin.com/aRFzwKy6
