X Any% w/ O-Powers FAQ

X Any% w/ O-Powers FAQ

Q: What are you playing the game on?
A: I'm playing on a 3DS with a capture card built-in.

Q: What is the difference between this and normal Any%?
A: This run allows using the "O-Powers" feature. Which is something unique to Generation 6. This normally isn't allowed in Any% because it involves your wireless being turned on to access it. For that they're split categories.

Q: Why X over Y?
A: On route 10 (where you catch Hawlucha) in X there is Houndour spawns compared to Electrike in Y. Your main is a Farfetch'd at that time so they are more dangerous to deal with. Other than that there's no route differences at all besides the legendary you catch (which is irrelevant to the run).

Q: What is WR?
A: Any% w/ O-Powers is to my knowledge 3:46:36 by Headbob: https://youtu.be/ZmRZgu8F6EM?si=e8LbjG9ztyrcH-B_&t=1.

Q: Is this faster than normal Any%?
A: That's currently unknown, but I want to say a top end run probably could be.

Q: Why do you choose Chespin?
A: Chespin handles the couple early fights well enough, but mainly so your rival doesn't have its final form Chesnaught later in the game.

Q: What do you use after Chespin?
A: You catch a Bunnelby on Route 2 which you trade in-game for Farfetch'd, after that you catch Hawlucha on Route 10 which you main until you are given the in-game Lucario.

Q: Why did you reset?
A: Probably didn't catch Bunnelby/Hawlucha fast enough.

Q: What is your goal time?
A: Not sure, but I'd like to get a 3:39 in Any% once fully derusted.

Q: Why are you talking to nobody?
A: Probably in a discord with my friends to make the grind much easier on me mentally.
