| 3 | Q: Why isn't your mic on? | |
| 4 | A: Typically I don't turn my mic on until I have a run going, i.e. have a good Totodile, as it gets tedious to talk during the resetting phase (and I'm usually doing something else at the same time). This also doubles as a good check for you as a viewer, it means if you here me start talking, a run has started! | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator? | |
| 7 | A: No, I play on a Gamecube through a Gameboy Player using a Gameboy SP as a controller. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | Q: Why do you choose Totodile? | |
| 10 | A: Because the Totodile evolution family is the best for the speedrun, without it, my time would not be nearly as fast. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | Q: Do you really need to use Totodile specifically, couldn't you use some other Pokemon? | |
| 13 | A: Yes. Yes I do. Otherwise I will not challenge my World Record. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | Q: Why did you keep reseting after getting Totodile? | |
| 16 | A: If it looks like there is no reason, it's generally because my stats were bad. I need to have great DVs in attack and special stats otherwise I can not complete the run fast enough | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | Q: What stats are good and what stats are bad? | |
| 19 | - | A: I check my stats as soon as I can, because it takes to long to wait until I level up. At level 5 I will reset unless my attack is 12 or 13 and my special defense is 11 and my speed is 10 (might run with 9 speed if 12 Defense and/or 13 attack) |
| 19 | + | A: I check my stats as soon as I can, because it takes too long to wait until I level up. At level 5 I will reset unless my attack is 12 or 13 and my special defense is 11 and my speed is 10 (might run with 9 speed if 12 Defense and/or 13 attack. Will also run 10 Special Att/def if 13 Att & 10 Speed) |
| 20 | Note that I may reset at level 6 because of stats too as I learn more information about my dvs. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | Q: You didn't even get to his stats, why did you reset? | |
| 23 | A: Totodile was a female, so it's attack DV was 0 or 1, aka the worst. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | - | A: I will keep about 1 in 12 Totodiles. |
| 25 | + | |
| 26 | A: I will keep about 1 in 8 Totodiles. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | Q: Why do you set the time around 5:30pm? | |
| 29 | A: It keeps the game at day for Route 32, which gives a higher chance of Bellsprout, but then turns to night before Ilex forest so I can catch a Oddish/Paras there in case I still don't have a Cut slave. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | Q: What is Poliwag/Sentret/Bellsprout/Sandshrew/Oddish/Paras for? | |
| 32 | A: They are HM slaves, Poliwag gets Waterfall and Whirlpool, The other one gets Cut. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | - | A: http://www.speedrun.com/pkmngoldsilver | Remember these are IGT, my splits are my 3:21 listed here |

| 35 | A: http://www.speedrun.com/pkmngoldsilver | Remember these are IGT, my splits are my 3:20 listed here | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Q: Why do you use ingame time and not real time? | |
| 38 | A: Because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMGf1V3MMM | |
| 39 | - | Q: Is there a new route? What is different? |
| 39 | + | |
| 40 | - | A: There are some differences in the route, pretty minor ones time wise but the splits won't be entirely accurate because of that. I'm getting/teaching Ice Punch later (so lose some time on Clair split, make up on Whitney/Morty), Poliwag earlier (so lose time on Pryce, make up on Clair), and a few other small changes here and there. |
| 40 | + | |
| 41 | A: I only hit one spinner (Anthony, on the Bugsy split), so I can make up some time there, but the most obvious time save is actually the very end, I lost over a minute to Red because he trolled the shit out of me. Minor timesaves all over as well | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | - | A: I only hit one spinner (Joyce, on the e4 split), but the most obvious time save is actually the very end, I lost over a minute to Red because he trolled the shit out of me. Minor timesaves all over as well |
| 43 | + | |
| 44 | A: Because it's sexy :3 | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | Q: Why do you name yourself and Totodile 'I'? | |
| 47 | A: Because it's faster to name them one character for text purposes, and the letter 'I' gives a nice spin as if the game was self-narrating | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | Q: I just heard you orgasming like crazy and I couldn't see why...are you crazy? | |
| 50 | A: There are several trainers in this game that spin like crazy. It's either because one caught me, or one didn't >_> | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | Q: Isn't this a luck based run? | |
| 53 | A: Yes, there is luck involved. Yes, I am still running it. I love pokemon and will run it regardless :) |
