Q: Why are you resetting? You haven't even left your house!
7-
A: Because the Cyndaquil evolution family is the best for the speedrun, without it, my time would not be nearly as fast.
7+
A: Now that I'm using RNG manipulation to get a good Cyndaquil, I need to start the game at a specific time. My Trainer ID tells me whether I've timed it correctly (Correct Seed) - if the ID isn't 17998, I reset.

Q: Do you really need to use Cyndaquil specifically, couldn't you use some other Pokemon?

Q: What is RNG Manipulation?
10-
A: Yes. Yes I do. Otherwise I will not challenge my World Record.
10+
A: RNG manipulation is used in this speedrun, which involves resetting on a specific second starting from a specific time, and hitting the correct frame for the correct seed after resetting. This allows me to get a Cyndaquil with almost perfect stats. I can also manipulate zero encounters up the the old man running shoes guide and beyond if I do my movement correctly.

Q: But don’t you use Totodile in Gold?
12+
Q: Is there a guide on how you use this manip?
13-
A: Yes, but in the remakes Cyndaquil is better. The main two reasons for this are that Sprout Tower is forced, and fighting a lot of Bellsprouts puts it in a better position, and that the TMs at Goldenrod are changed, and you get Fire Blast there before the 3rd badge.
13+
A: Yes! I made a video on this in 2015 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts4zwWKTDSk (3ds) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqgAvUy0Ew8 (ds)

Q: Why did you keep resetting after getting Cyndaquil?
15+
Q: Who is found out all the RNG Manip?
16-
A: If it looks like there is no reason, it's generally because my stats were bad. I need to have great IVs in attack and special attack otherwise I can not complete the run fast enough

A: MKDasher - The legend himself www.twitch.tv/mkdasher

18-
Q: What stats are good and what stats are bad?
18+
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 11, my special attack is 12, and my speed is 11 (or more)

Q: About what are the chances of getting a Cyndaquil with stats you will keep?
21+

25+
Q: How did u get the masterball from the lottery?
26
A: I used RNG Manipulation to get me the ID required for it
27
28-
A: Tough question, the fastest time is 4:01 by eekcast but it was done on emulator. The fastest time done on console was 4:10 by me (4:14:36 real time) Emulator plays faster than console (by a varying amount, no direct comparison can be made) so hopefully one of of can just get sub 4 on console so this isn't a touchy issue.
28+

35
A: Raikou is used for glitched (Any%) runs but now its also used for glitchless runs as for mewtwo and typhlosion I will not be using them.
36-
Q: Why do you name yourself and Cyndaquil 'I'?
36+
