| 3 | Q: Why do you keep resetting and changing the time? | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | A: I need to use a specific time in order to use RNG manipulation, so I set the clock in such a way that I can use it. | |
| 6 | - | The timer counts down to when I need to reset for the correct second. |

| 7 | The timer counts down to when I need to reset for the correct second. | |

| 9 | Q: What is RNG? | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | A: Random Number Generator, the thing that determines everything random within the game, such as stats or encounters. | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | Q: Why use RNG Manipulation? | |
| 14 | - | A: RNG manipulation is used in this speedrun, which involves resetting on a specific second starting from a specific time, and hitting the correct frame for the correct seed after resetting. This allows me to get a Cyndaquil with almost perfect stats. |

| 15 | A: RNG manipulation is used in this speedrun, which involves resetting on a specific second starting from a specific time, and hitting the correct frame for the correct seed after resetting. This allows me to get a Cyndaquil with almost perfect stats and Pokerus, with 0 encounters that waste time. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | Q: Why almost perfect stats? Why don't you just get 31 IVs on every stat? | |
| 18 | - | A: Because it's not possible to do so. Technically, it is possible to get a better cyndaquil but it would require waiting for several minutes / hours during the profesor oak's intro, so it's not worth it. IVs of the cyndaquil I'm looking for are HP 30 / ATK 30 / DEF 27 / SP ATK 31 / SP DEF 27 / SPEED 31, and a Rash nature. |

| 19 | A: Because it's not possible to do so. Technically, it is possible to get a better Cyndaquil but it would require waiting for several minutes / hours during the Professor Oak's intro, AND no Pokerus, so it's not worth it. IVs of the Cyndaquil I'm looking for are HP 28 / ATK 29 / DEF 28 / SP ATK 30 / SP DEF 25 / SPEED 31, and a Naive Nature. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | Q: Why Pokerus? | |
| 22 | - | A: I missed the trainer ID. The one I am trying to hit is 14645. If I don't get it I know I incorrectly RNG Manipulated so I reset. |
| 22 | + | |
| 23 | A: It allows me to outspeed some key enemies and deal even more damage with special attacks. To give an example, Gengar no longer is a huge threat due to this manipulation. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Q: What causes the resets? | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | A: I missed the trainer ID. The one I am trying to hit is 18406. If I don't get it I know I incorrectly RNG manipulated so I reset. | |
| 28 | I might have messed the movement up if I reset otherwise. | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | - | A: Raikou isn't faster for glitchless. Cyndaquil gains enough exp during the run to be better than Raikou. Also Cyndaquil stats are manipulated so it is even faster. |
| 30 | + | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | A: Because I already know what stats Cyndaquil is going to get after hitting the right trainer ID. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | - | A: Because it's slower. |
| 34 | + | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | A: Unless your Raikou has HP Ground 70 and is perfect, Cyndaquil is always faster. lol | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | Q: Why pick the girl? | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | A: She is faster, because of the catching tutorial. When the girl does the catching tutorial, she messes up, so it's better to pick the girl so the boy does it. | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | Q: Why not Soul Silver? | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | A: http://pastebin.com/5pN4mMUD (I don't own soul silver atm though) | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | Q: How are you getting no encounters? | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | A: Using RNG manipulation, you can influence the encounters you get based on how you move. If all my movement is frame perfect I can control this up until Sprout Tower, and after this I use Repels. At Cherrygrove, the old man cutscene when you first enter requires decent mashing or the RNG is going to be messed up. |
