| 2 | ||
| 3 | Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator? | |
| 4 | A: No, I play on a Gamecube through a Gameboy Player using a Gameboy SP as a controller. | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | Q: So does this run have glitches in it? | |
| 7 | A: Yes | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | Q: When do they show up/what are they? | |
| 10 | - | A: Yes. Yes I do. Otherwise I will not challenge my World Record. |
| 10 | + | A: After I beat Bugsy I do some regular cloning of Croconaw. This is to setup Bad cloning later (and also makes Rival 2 much easier). Once I get to the daycare I will attempt to make a bad clone. This is a frame perfect trick (and also very random whether that frame even exists) and is basically the entire run. Once I have a Bad Clone I will do a really long elaborate setup with it, that will allow me to first underflow my items in the Ball Pocket, and then Execute Arbitrary Code. |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | - | Q: Why did you keep reseting after getting Totodile? |
| 12 | + | Q: What is a Bad Clone? |
| 13 | - | A: If it looks like there is no reason, it's generally because my stats were bad. I need to have great DVs in attack and special stats otherwise I can not complete the run fast enough |
| 13 | + | A: A Bad Clone is what it sounds like, a clone that's bad. It's identifiable by having a long ass nickname that looks like this "???????????????????????????" is level 0 (and also the opposite gender) - if it isn't level 0 but has the name it probably means I hit the right frame but the game decided to be mean. If I only get one level 0 it almost certainly won't work, as it is the wrong type of Bad Clone, but if I get 2 level 0s, the second one (and any subsequent one) should work no problem |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | Q: Are there any other difference in the run? | |
| 16 | - | 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 12 or 13 and my special defense is 11 and my speed is 10. |
| 16 | + | A: Minor ones, like not getting slaves, using up all my money, not getting Przcure, and probably having harder fights because my stats will prob be worse, but mostly it's pretty similar. |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | Q: Why do you choose Totodile? | |
| 19 | A: Because the Totodile evolution family is the best for the speedrun, without it, my time would not be nearly as fast. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | - | Q: About what are the chances of getting a Totodile with stats you will keep? |
| 21 | + | |
| 22 | - | A: I will keep about 1 in 12 Totodiles. |
| 22 | + | A: Yes. Yes I do. Otherwise I will not challenge the World Record. |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | - | Q: Why do you set the time to 5:50pm? |
| 24 | + | |
| 25 | - | A: To give a chance to catch Sentret during the day, then catch Poliwag when he appears at night. |
| 25 | + | A: I don't actually check my stats in this run, since it's a lot shorter they are a lot less relevant. Honestly I'll only reset if they are absolutely horrible and my encounter rate at the start is awful. I'll look at 6, 14 Attack is really good, special attack being 11 would be nice too (12s are fantastic), speed being 11 is a nice bonus, as is defence being 14. |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | - | Q: What is Poliwag/Sentret/Bellsprout for? |
| 27 | + | |
| 28 | - | A: They are HM slaves, Poliwag gets Waterfall and Whirlpool, Sentret/Bellsprout gets Cut. |
| 28 | + | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | Q: Do time and date matter in this run? | |
| 31 | - | A: The Current World Record is 3 hours 20 minutes game time. My PB (the splits) is a 3:21 IGT. |
| 31 | + | A: Nah not at all. Default time is day, which means less Rattatas and Poliwags which can keep you from escaping, the only relevant thing based on time in this run, so just use default. |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | - | Q: How much time do you need to save to get a 3:20? |
| 33 | + | Q: Do you catch anything in this run? |
| 34 | - | A: Like 2 seconds lol |
| 34 | + | A: I'll catch 1 Poke right after I get balls. It's only purpose is so I can deposit Totodile (and therefore clone him later on) |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | - | Q: Why do you use ingame time and not real time? |
| 36 | + | |
| 37 | - | A: Because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMGf1V3MMM |
| 37 | + | A: The Current World Record is 56 minutes and 31 seconds by craftedite |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | - | Q: Is there a new route? What is different? |
| 39 | + | |
| 40 | - | A: The route got a pretty decent change recently. The main changes come from getting Return, and not getting Earthquake, and doing a different route through Kanto. This effects a lot of other small things in the run as well, such as PP/item management. |
| 40 | + | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | - | Q: How much time does it save? And where on the splits should you make up time, or lose time because of it? |
| 42 | + | |
| 43 | - | A: The entire rerouting saves somewhere between 1-2 minutes (very hard to calculate perfectly mathematically when compound RNG is involves). There are small time saves on literally every single split except Jasmine --> Clair, which should lose a little bit of time. The main time save is through Kanto, which is done is a different order so it has no splits except Erika and Blue (which is also why my sum of best is really inaccurate now, as expected) |
| 43 | + | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | Q: Why do you name yourself and Totodile 'I'? | |
| 46 | 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 | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | Q: I just heard you orgasming like crazy and I couldn't see why...are you crazy? | |
| 49 | A: There are several trainers in this game that spin like crazy. It's either because one caught me, or one didn't >_> | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | Q: Isn't this a luck based run? | |
| 52 | A: Yes, there is luck involved. Yes, I am still running it. I love pokemon and will run it regardless :) |
