 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Pokémon Emerald: Randomized Glitchless Nuzlocke Race Rules =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
 These Rules are written with the intent of being used for competitive races (specifically on http://speedrunslive.com). The typical race is "3 Badges Race" and each entrant has a DIFFERENT
 randomized ROM; however the rules should be valid for any goal and a standardized ROM.
 
 1) Only the first Pokémon in each area is catchable (only applicable after receiving Pokéballs)
-3) PokéCenters act as Save Points; you may not save elsewhere
+
    1b) For caves: floors with a unique set of Pokémon are considered to be unique areas
 2) A fainted Pokémon is considered "dead", you cannot use it again for any reason
 3) PokéCenters act as Save Points; you may not save anywhere else
 4) In the event of a blackout: hard reset, load last save, and "kill" one of your party Pokémon
-*Optional* All Pokémon must be nicknamed
+
    4b) If you lose to Liza & Tate (7th Gym Leaders), raise the minimum to 2 for 4a
 5) All entrants have to use the same setup (Emulator, Base ROM) to minize differences in speed
 6) Exploiting, Cheating, Bug-Using or whatever you call it:
    6a) It is forbidden to use any kind of cheat or glitch (exploiting game machinics) during the game
    6b) It is also forbidden to use the Speed-Key (Turbo) of your Emulator to accellerate your ROM
 
 *Optional*
 All Pokémon must be nicknamed

 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Setup =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-1) Download the Pokémon Emerald Randomizer, found here:
+
-   http://artemis251.fobby.net/downloads/emerald/
+
 Things you'll need prior to installation:
 - Java (http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1)
 - an unarchiver (http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0)
-5) Change all 3 Starter Slots to "Random" (at the top), leave "Hold Item" blank, and set "Wild Pokemon" to "Completely Random"
+
 - Pokémon Emerald Version ROM (unsupplied)
 
 1) Download the Pokémon Emerald Randomizer, found here: http://artemis251.fobby.net/downloads/emerald/
-*Optional but Recommended* At the main menu of the game, select Options and change Text Speed to Fast, Battle Scene to Off
+
 3) Open the Randomizer.jar file with Java(TM) Platform SE Binary. This should launch the program.
 4) Click on File -> Open and select your Pokémon Emerald Version ROM
 5) Change all 3 Starter Slots to "Random" (at the top), leave "Hold Item" blank,
 and set "Wild Pokemon" to "Completely Random"
 6) Click on File -> Save As and save the file (Preferably "Ranlocke" on the Desktop)
 7) Open VBA and click on Options -> Emulator -> Save Type, select 128 Flash
 8) Click on File -> Open and select your file created in Step 6
 
 *Optional but Recommended*
 At the main menu of the game, select Options and change Text Speed to Fast, Battle Scene to Off
 
 TROUBLESHOOTING:
 - The most common error takes place in step 7. Not setting the Save Type can result in a black screen.
 - If Step 7 is correct and you still receive a black screen, it may be your ROM. Try the un-randomized ROM if you have it, if that works then re-randomize your ROM and make sure it has the .gba extension. If it still doesn't work, find a different ROM.
 - Issues with the Randomizer.jar are usually caused by Java, you may want to reinstall Java and restart your computer.
 - Other issues: Honestly, I can't recommend help beyond "Reinstall and Retry". I'm sorry T_T
