3 | Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator? | |
4 | - | A: No, I play on a 3DS using software purchased from 3dscapture.com |
4 | + | A: No, I'm playing on a DS (phat) with a capture board installed from http://3dscapture.com/ds/ or ill play on a new3DSXL using software purchased from https://www.merki.net |
5 | ||
6 | 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. |
8 | ||
9 | - | Q: Do you really need to use Cyndaquil specifically, couldn't you use some other Pokemon? |
9 | + | 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. |

12 | - | 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) |
14 | ||
15 | - | 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 |
16 | + | A: MKDasher - The legend himself www.twitch.tv/mkdasher |
17 | ||
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) |
19 | + | |
20 | ||
21 | - | Q: About what are the chances of getting a Cyndaquil with stats you will keep? |
21 | + | |
22 | - | A: I will keep about 1 in 8 Cyndaquils. |
22 | + | A: Because I prefer Cyndaquil and it is the fastest, The |
23 | cyndaquils stats/ivs are 22/22/8/30/16/24 & a Mild nature | |
24 | - | Q: What other pokemon do you catch in this run? |
24 | + | |
25 | - | A: I catch a Sentret, and Mewtwo for Red. |
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 | + | Q: How did you get/catch raikou? |
29 | A: By waking it up, then catching it with a masterball, You can view a tutorial on it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0biOhJNLP8 | |

32 | A: Raikou's stats/ivs are : Rash 19/24/29/26/22/27/ HP 66 Ground | |
33 | ||
34 | Q: Why Raikou? I thought that was for glitched, and why not typhlosion or Mewtwo? | |
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 | + | |
37 | - | 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 |
37 | + | |

39 | - | Q: I just heard you orgasming like crazy and I couldn't see why...are you crazy? |
39 | + | |
40 | - | A: There are several trainers in this game that spin like crazy. It's either because one caught me, or one didn't >_> |
40 | + | Q: Why SoulSilver over HeartGold? |
41 | A: Either game can be chosen. But soul silver you get an extra rare candy & I dont have to waste time getting tentacool for waterfall as lugia learns it | |
42 | - | Q: Why do you use ingame time and not real time? |
