| 3 | - | Q: What is the Battle Factory Event? |
| 3 | + | Q: How does this work? |
| 4 | - | A: So a good while ago, JTMagicman ramped up a bounty for completing the Battle Factory Open Level where you get the gold print. You can see it here: https://pastebin.com/MqXBPGY2 |
| 4 | + | A: You try to beat the Factory as fast as possible. No RNG Manipulation is allowed. There are categories for L50/L100, and also for Silver and Gold Prints. Obviously when doing attempts the aim is to get the Gold, and the Silver is a bonus if you can do the first few rounds fast enough. |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | - | Since then, many people attempted it, and Battle Factory runs become a popular thing within the community. |
| 6 | + | I'm mostly aiming for Gold L50 atm. |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | - | But so we decided at some stage more recently to do an event where we all attempt it together at once. For some good ol fun. |

| 9 | A: No, I'm playing on a 3DS with a capture board installed allowing me to record game footage. | |
| 10 | - | Q: How does the event work? |

| 11 | - | A: Well you can't exactly 'race' it, so there are specific rules. |

| 12 | A: https://www.speedrun.com/pkmnhgssext#Battle_Factory | |
| 13 | - | The aim is to get the highest streak possible in the time frame provided. All participant have 2 hours where they may restart any attempts, after which they will have to complete the streak they are on. You have 5 hours to complete you final attempt (though it will never take that long). |

| 14 | Q: Why are you switching so much? | |
| 15 | - | This one will be done at Level 50, Single Battles. No RNG Manipulation is allowed. |
| 15 | + | A: In the first 2 sets, I try to swap after every battle. This is because for every 7 swaps you do, you get 1 Pokemon of a set above in the next draft. |
| 16 | So after swapping for every battle in the first set, when set 2 starts there will be 1 set 3 Pokemon available for me to choose from. And after swapping for the first 14 battles, in set 3 there will be 2 set 4 Pokemon for me to choose from, and the same for every subsequent set too. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | Q: What is with those split icons? What does A and B mean? | |
| 19 | 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. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | 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. |
