| 6 | Q: How much changes in a Manipless run? | |
| 7 | - | A: A lot! Because you can't manipulate really good stats, just picking a starter and going with it is very risky - especially in a race. Along with the fact you can't manipulate Pokerus and wild held items to assist you (the Metronome and Lucky Egg), it means there are a number of different viable routes to use. |
| 7 | + | A: Not a whole lot, but not having a manipped Chimchar means the early fights are worse/different, especially since this run uses Hidden Power. |

| 20 | Q: Why do you name yourself 'I'? | |

| 23 | - | Q: What route will you be doing? |
| 23 | + | |
| 24 | - | A: For now, I will be doing Monferno -> Kazza. I'd like to get a good run with Kazza before learning the other routes, as I think Kazza is cool, and Manipless is the only category it can really shine (because a good Kazza route gets it after Gardenia because otherwise it will disobey, it can't really be used as an Alt Main, as it doesn't qualify for the rules getting it after Gardenia) |
