What does IT testing mean?
9+
10-
Some rule changes for Red Glitchless have been proposed, splitting the current category into 2 different ones, one that allows IT, and one that bans Manip and Poke Doll. As part of this, people will be testing the 2 new categories to make sure they aren't shit.

What pokemon are used in this run?
22-
1:50, maybe 1:49
22+
Pikachu is used as the starter for obvious reasons
23
Pidgey is caught because we need a second pokemon for THE MANIP, and it also learns fly
24
Jynx (Yes, Jynx) is used as the main battler, since it OHKOs every pokemon (Blaine's Arcanine is a range) and learns teleport, which saves a lot of movement.
25-
Squirtle is used until Brock, and is later taught surf and strength
25+
26-
Nidoran-m is used as the main battler after Brock, as he destroys the rest of the game
26+
Is Jynx really the fastest Pokemon, or are you just using it for the meme?
27-
Pidgey/Spearow is used as a fly slave
27+
It's the fastest Pokemon I've looked at, all others either don't learn teleport, which loses all the time we'd save from a shorter cry and a faster LG, or in the 1 case that does learn teleport (Venomoth), we have to evolve a venonat, which involves either a reset to get out of battle so we can candy before Giovanni, or a very slow Giovanni fight since venonat sucks, neither of which seem very fast.
28-
Paras is used as a dig/cut slave

Does this run use any RNG manipulation?
30
Yes. I manipulate no forest encounters, then a pidgeotto deathfly, then THE MANIP
