| 3 | - | Q: What is this? |
| 3 | + | Q: What is this game? |
| 4 | - | A: Doing a glitchless speedrun with Rocky, the in-game traded Onix in Violet City. |
| 4 | + | A: Gaia is a Pokemon romhack. |

| 6 | - | Q: Is this some faster alternate route? |
| 6 | + | Q: What kind of romhack is it? |
| 7 | - | A: No, this isn't fast at all lol. Just an alternate Pokemon run. |
| 7 | + | A: The game is set in a totally new region (Orbtus), story/region have no real connection to official titles. It uses a Gen 3 core (FR/LG), but has many updates to Gen 6 (e.g. Pokes, movesets, Phy/Spec split, items, abilities, move power, etc). The thing that stands out about this game more than anything else, is that it feels very much like a Pokemon game. There isn't anything excessive or over the top about it, but it's pacing/story/layout very much feel like an official title does. And this, in turn, makes it pretty ideal for speedrunning. |

| 9 | - | Q: Why are you doing this then? |
| 9 | + | Q: What version of the game is this? |
| 10 | - | A: Two main reasons, 1) I got the itch to run Crystal again, but the current route is so boring and unfun, it really put me off. This ends up being a bit different and fun, and got to do some actual routing too, which always makes it more rewarding |
| 10 | + | A: V3.2, the latest one that released in Nov 2018. |
| 11 | - | 2) I think it could be a good idea for the PSR marathon. Last year we had zero Johto submissions, and I think this is the type of thing I could submit for it. |
| 11 | + | |
| 12 | Q: What Pokemon do you use for the run? | |
| 13 | - | Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator? |
| 13 | + | A: I'll be using Chimchar (a starter) for the whole run. |
| 14 | - | A: No, I play on a Gamecube through a Gameboy Player using a Gameboy SP as a controller. |
| 14 | + | |
| 15 | Q: Anything else you catch? | |
| 16 | - | Q: What do you trade for the Onix? |
| 16 | + | A: I'll get a Zigzagoon/Bidoof (for Rock Climb) and a water slave (for Dive/Waterfall). You're also given a Kanto starter for free (which is Ivysaur because I choose Chimchar), and are forced to catch a Pokemon in the Bug Catching Contest. |
| 17 | - | A: Bellsprout, so gotta get one of those. |
| 17 | + | |
| 18 | Q: What are the hard fights in this run? | |
| 19 | A: Well remember how I mentioned this is paced like a normal Pokemon game? That means of course, the difficulty peaks at Rival 2! Aria (the second gym leader right after Rival 2) is probably the worst fight overall. Will is also fairly notable in that you have to go out of your way to get items or moves to beat him, but ends up not being so bad because of it. | |
| 20 | - | A: I'll get a Poliwag before Violet as well (Need an early one for Surf) |
| 20 | + | |
| 21 | Q: What's your aim time? | |
| 22 | - | Q: What are the hard fights for Onix? |
| 22 | + | A: Now that I've got the sub 4, any improvement from here would be a bonus. |
| 23 | - | A: Uhh...all of them? Lmao, it's pretty bad. It falls apart to any water/grass attack, and a fair amount of trainers have them. Almost every gym leader is a rough ride. The worst fights for him, I'd say, are Chuck, Clair, and Lance. |
| 23 | + | |
| 24 | Q: Why the girl? | |
| 25 | A: Because she's cute :3 | |
| 26 | - | A: No idea what a good time would look like. But I'm also not gonna grind for a good time, just finish 1, maybe 2 runs and be happy. |
| 26 | + | |
| 27 | Q: Why do you name yourself and slaves 'I'? | |
| 28 | - | Q: Why do you use Frame 4? |
| 28 | + | |
| 29 | - | A: Because it's cute :3 |

| 30 | Q: Will you do more romhack speedruns in the future? | |
| 31 | A: The problem with romhacks are that they very rarely have a solid endpoint, as the majority are never finished. Even this one isn't "completed", it's just that it ends at the point a speedrun would end anyway, which is great (further updates are planned with post-game stuff, etc). And then the ones that are, rarely have the right pacing for speedruns. Or of course, just aren't very good lol. That being said, I'm going to *try* to find one a year, to submit for the PSR marathon each time (I did Adventures Red last year, and doin this one this year) | |
