| 3 | Q: What are you trying to do? | |
| 4 | - | A: Beat the Battle Factory without manip, going for the fastest time for Silver and/or Gold Print. |
| 4 | + | A: Beat the Battle Factory without manip, going for the fastest time for Silver and/or Gold Symbol. |

| 6 | - | Q: Why L50 and not L100? |
| 6 | + | Q: Why <L100/L50> and not <L50/L100>? Why <Doubles/Singles> and not <Singles/Doubles>? |
| 7 | - | A: I already have the Gold L100 record, so focusing on L50 for now. |
| 7 | + | A: They are separate categories, just focusing on this one for now. I plan on doing them all. |
| 8 | L50 is easier/faster (HP bars go down quicker, and you have less 'guessing' of what set the opponent is using in sets 5 and 6), but also a bit more boring because the early L50 pokemon are not as fun to use. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | - | A: When going for Gold, my strategy is generally to prioritise doing a swap for every battle in the first 2 sets. This is because for every 7 swaps you do, you get a Pokemon from the above set in the first choice of 6 Pokemon to choose from. |
| 10 | + | Q: Are the sets the same between Singles and Doubles? |
| 11 | - | So this way I get 1 set 3 Pokemon in Set 2, and 2 Set 4 Pokemon in Set 3, and every set after it. |
| 11 | + | A: Yes. |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | - | After set 2 swapping because much harder, and the reward less valuable, so I then only swap if it actually helps me win. |
| 13 | + | |
| 14 | A: Only when it actually makes the team better. Swapping is more beneficial in Gen 4 Factory than Gen 3, in Gen 3 it's not worth doing for the increase in "better pokes", and during the set 1 if you swap, you're actually swapping for a worse IV poke. | |
| 15 | - | If priortising speed for Silver Print, I would not swap after set 1 except to improve my team, since it takes time. |
| 15 | + | This is because opponents have IVs of 3 for their Pokemon (including the 7th battle), whereas the IVs for your Pokemon are 3 in the first set, but then go up to 6 for the second, 9 for the third, etc. |

| 17 | Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator? | |
| 18 | - | A: No, I'm playing on a DS with a capture board installed allowing me to record game footage. |
| 18 | + | A: No, I'm playing on a GBP with a capture card (GV-USB2). If you complain about the video quality, you are a certified zoomer. |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | Q: What is your estimate time for how long this will take? | |
| 21 | - | A: If I actually get to gold, it'll be around the 2 hour mark. |
| 21 | + | A: If I actually get to gold, it should be under 2 hours. |
