-Pokemon Stadium 1 GLC R2 FAQ:
+Pokemon Stadium 1 Complete Game FAQ:
 
 Q: Why are you using <pokemon>? Why not <other pokemon>?
 A: Because the restrictions in running this game involve only using rental Pokemon (as otherwise it would be incredibly easy and not at all challenging). In Stadium 1 a fair few evolved Pokes have good moves (Legendary Birds and Jolteon get a lot of useage, for example), but sometimes a lesser Pokemon is used for a better movepool (Eg Kadabra has better moves than Alakazam)
 
 Q: What is this category?
-A: This is the Gym Leader Castle, specifically Round 2. So basically beat everyone in there. They can be done in any order (so long as Elite Four is last), so I start with some of the better fights to get out of the way early. (GLC R2 stands for Gym Leader Castle, Round 1)
+A: This is the Complete the Game. Essentially I finish the Gym Leader Castle, then do all 10 Stadium Cups (4 Prime Cup, 4 Poke Cup, Petit Cup, Little Cup) and then the Mewtwo fight. That then unlocks Round 2, and I do it all again. And yes that timer is right, it takes about a whole day to do this.
 
-Q: Why is the order scrambled like that?
+Q: Are the movesets the same between all the Cups and Gym Leader Castle?
-A: It's allowed because doing it from a fresh file would be really annoying to reset the save data for (given you'd have to remake the teams every reset as well), so it's stupid to not allow play on a completed save. And since that's allowed, no reason to restrict order either. Elite Four still must be done last because timing ends during the cutscene after that battle (would be slower to not do him last because of that anyway).
+A: No. Pokemon between Gym Leader Castle, and each individual cup, the movesets are different. A lot of Pokemon are still good between the different cups (E.g. Zapdos/Jolteon get Thunder/Thunderbolt between wherever they are). Stats are also different, even between GLC and Poke Cup, where all Rentals are Lvl 50. | The Mewtwo fight uses Prime Cup Rentals.
 In general, movesets are better from Poke Cup > Gym Castle > Prime Cup > Pika Cup > Petit Cup.
-I do Giovanni first, more for his trainers than him. But they are a big chance to lose to, so take them out first. Then head off backwards through the gyms, but skip Erika and Koga (as Surge and Misty are harder gyms, I rather take them out earlier)
+Stats wise, Gym Castle > Petit Cup > Prime Cup > Pika Cup > Poke Cup.
 
 Q: Why does that gym leader have a Pokemon that isn't of their type??
 A: Because if every leader had only their type, all these fights would be easy. There aren't too many Pokemon to choose from in Gen 1, so a lot of them might have pokes that don't make a whole lot of sense, mainly just for coverage
 
 Q: Why is that Pokemon coloured differently?
 A: Giving Pokemon nicknames in the Stadium games changes their colouration, so you can see some cool and different looking Pokes.
 
 Q: What is the record?
-A: http://www.speedrun.com/pkmnstadium#Gym_Leader_Castle_Round_2 (Everyone else too pansy to do round 2)
+A: http://www.speedrun.com/pkmnstadium#Complete_the_Game | See: Splits (no one else runs this lol)
 
 Q: So what's your goal?
-A: Atm, just a deathless run. This will be sub 3, easily (I died for 50 minutes at Giovanni in my PB, and it was done on PAL, so slower speed too) | I edited my splits to add 2 minutes to just about every split so the time save is more spread out now.
+A: Atm, sub 1 day would be really nice.
 
 Q: Where can you save the most time?
-A: Round 2 is probably slightly easier in Stad 1, only for the lack of held items. In Stad 2, you have to deal with so many brightpowder/quick claw/focus band scenarios, that you're bound to get duped at some point. In Stad 1, you just have to deal with the fact that their Pokemon have much higher stats than your.
+A: Places I can save a big chunk of time, because of full losses, are;
 Round 1 - Elite Four (~17 minutes)
-The rentals you get to work with are a lot more powerhouse-y too (Good birds, Jolteon, Nidoking, Jynx), and there are less complexities without held items and such. However, you do rely on moves that can miss a fair bit, especially Thunder, which is used a lot in the run, so getting a good time has a lot to do with hitting them. As this is Gen 1 as well, criticals are a lot more common, which becomes a larger possibility to lose, as well as make up time.
+Round 2 - Giovanni (~45 minutes)
 Round 2 - Prime Cup Master Ball (~1 hour 30 minutes)
-Q: Does this game have the Gen 1 1/256 miss?
+Round 2 - Poke Cup Ultra Ball (~50 minutes)
 Round 2 - Poke Cup Master Ball (~3 hours)
 Round 2 - Petit Cup (~1 hour)
 Round 2 - Pika Cup (~2 hours)
 
-Q: What does "Round 2" or "Round 1" mean in this game?
+My previous PB was also on PAL, so I should be making up small amounts of time throughout the run. My strats for a large amount of the fights are also superior, so I should be getting quicker fights in general too. But obviously it comes down to getting good luck, and not having full losses is the biggest time save no matter what.
-A: This game repeats itself over, after you beat Round 1 of the game you unlock Round 2. Round 2 gives the opponent different pokes, with different moves, and better stats. It is in general, much much harder.
+
 Q: Is this game easier than Stadium 2? Or harder?
-Q: Are you gonna go back to that really long run that was like over 20 hours now that you have an NTSC cart? Stadium 2 as well?
+A: Round 1 is easier in Stadium 1, Round 2 is a lot harder. In terms of difficulty, Stad 2 starts at 3 and gradually builds to to 7, but Stad 1 starts at 1 and ends up at 15.
-A: I have carts for both Stadium games now. And yes, after I do some rerouting, and have the time, I plan to go back to both of those runs.

 The rentals you get to work with are a lot more powerhouse-y (Good birds, Jolteon, Nidoking, Jynx), and there are less complexities without held items and such. However, you do rely on moves that can miss a fair bit, especially Thunder in Gym Castle and Prime Cup, which is used a lot in the run.. As this is Gen 1 as well, criticals are a lot more common, which becomes a larger possibility to lose, as well as make up time.
 
 Because there are less complexities, however, means there's less opportunity for you to make up the power gap by using smarts. There's no chance for you to use Mirror Coat smartly, or Destiny Bond, it is on the most part just power vs power, and at the end of the game, their power far outways yours. The end fights of the last cups are just ridiculous. Most notably, Pika Cup Round 2. That entire back half of the cup is ridiculous, but the final fight is on another level. So much so that even if I have a 4 hour lead before the cup starts, and can save 2 hours there, I would have no confidence at all that I would PB. It is truly not over until it's over in this run.
 
 The biggest different between the two runs between the games though, is that Stadium 2 has the infinite continue glitch, which means if you lose a fight in a cup you can redo the fight without losing a continue, and therefore not have to redo the whole cup. This doesn't exist in Stadium 1, so a loss instead of costing you 4 minutes, can cost you 50 minutes.
 
 Q: Why do you reset after completing a cup?
 A: This is just to skip the small cutscene that shows all the Pokes you used in the cup. Saves just a few seconds each time it's used. It isn't used on the Poke/Great/Ultra Cup levels, as they do not show the pokes, and just give you the cup straight away.
 
 Q: How are you going to play for 24 hours straight?? Don't you need to eat and shit??
 A: I got some snacks. It ain't too hard to not use the bathroom for 24 hours, especially if you aren't drinking too much. I've done this whole thing before, it honestly takes no extra effort in that regard. Focused on the game, so I just get it done.
 
 Q: Does this game have the 1/256 miss?
 A: Yes, it does. Stadium changed a few mechanics from the handheld Gen 1 games (for example, switching after Wrap/Fire Spin means the other Pokemon won't attack, so you don't get stuck forever), but this still is a gen 1 game and holds most of it's mechanics, such as the 1/256
 
 Crit mechanics are slightly different. See this spreadsheet for specifics: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lab4RC9Ngt3x1Eb7qOMYvLtqhKIekOVPmv4eaiyc4nY
