 Q: What is Manipless?
 A: Manipless is, as the name implies, not using manip. So beating the game with no RNG Manipulation. It's also a glitchless run.
 
 Q: How much changes in a Manipless run?
 A: A lot! Because you can't get an early Master Ball to use on a (manipped) Raikou, the route changes a fair bit. There's a number of routes available actually. Those are:
 
 Solo Typhoslion, but catch Mewtwo for Red (my PB from 2013 did this)
 Solo Typholsion
 Quilava, then catch L50 Magikarp and Gyarados
-Quilava, then Kenya for Whitney/Morty, then catch L50 Magikarp for Gyarados (probably what I will do in these runs)

-Gyarados, but catch Mewtwo for Red
+Quilava, then catch Raikou with a Fast Ball (~1.5% chance to work. But would still be the best strat if it worked, but super unlikely, and only faster by a small amount)

 Q: Any other change aside from the Pokemon you use?
 A: Well, yeah. Because there's no RNG manip, Cyndaquil's stats are random. Which means all of the early fights are different each run. Kenya always has the same stats, however.

 Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator?
 A: No, I'm playing on a 3DS with a capture board installed allowing me to record game footage. Usually I use a DS, but because there is not resetting here, a 3DS works the same for run, and has the circle pad, which is useful for catching Magikarp.
 
 Q: Why do you choose Cyndaquil?
 A: Because the Cyndaquil evolution family is the best for start of the speedrun.
 
 Q: Why not Soul Silver?
-Q: Why not Heart Gold?
+A: Heart Gold and Soul Silver are the same for one key difference, the legendary Pokemon you must visit. Visiting Ho-Oh and Lugia take almost the exact same amount of time, but Lugia is faster by like ~2 seconds assuming you have good movement. However in this run, you need Max Revives, and the Max Revive at Bell Tower is faster to pick up.

+Additionally, because I'm not going to be using a manipped Raikou, it's possible that I will be slower than the Ho-Oh/Lugia, which means there is a chance I won't be able to run away. As such, visiting Ho-Oh is preferred, as it has lower speed, meaning there's more chance I will be able to run away first turn.
 
 Q: Why do you play as the girl?
 A: The counterpart does the catching tutorial, and the male does it faster, so it’s faster to choose the female for yourself.

 Q: Why do you name yourself and Cyndaquil 'I'?
 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
 
 Q: Do you catch anything else? Mewtwo maybe?
 A: I catch a Sentret (for Surf/Whirlpool), and obtain Kenya (for Fly), and Snorlax (for Rock Climb, and Red).

 Q: What is your goal time?
-A: No idea.
+A: To win the race. Ideally I'd like a sub 3:45 at some point, but I'm not planning on grinding this category out, much prefer doing the races.
 
 Q: What is with those split icons? What does A and B mean?
 A: This is a grading system for all of my splits. I'm sure you are familiar with grades, A+ being the best then going down from there. So the idea is, if the split has an A+ next to it, my time there was really good and would be very difficult to beat. If it's a C though for example, it was quite poor, and I should be able to save time there pretty easily.
 
 This way, everyone watching has more accurate information on where I can save time, and where I should be making up time. Also that all time loss is not equal, as losing time vs an A+ split isn't really that bad, whereas losing time vs a C split is really bad. It'll probably take a while for a lot of people watching to pick up the meaning so I will appreciate everyone who explains how this works (correctly) in chat to new people.
