Manipless Gen 1-3 brainstorming

Red: Current Classic rules
Yellow: Current Classic rules
Gold: Ban hard resets and playing the lottery
Crystal: Ban hard resets and playing the lottery
Sapphire: Ban dry battery
Emerald: Ban checking TID. Allow soft resets, but time is hidden by default
FireRed: Not needed
Colosseum: Not needed
XD: Not needed
Gen 4-5: I don't know enough about manipless in these games

How to make the categories more fun:
- Red: Figure out DSum, do races
- Yellow: Figure out DSum, do races
- Gold: ???
- Crystal: Optimize Toto (this was only partially done)
- Sapphire: Route different stats (this was never properly done)
- Emerald: Route different stats (this was never properly done)

Gold/Crystal full ruleset:
- Timing is by RTA, where timer starts at New Game and ends as the last textbox is cleared after Red is defeated.
- Hard resetting the console during the run is not allowed.
- Saving and quitting (S + Q) using soft resets is allowed.
- Runs must be done on English version.
- Resetting at the credits after the Elite Four is allowed.
- Using a Poké Doll on the shiny Gyarados is allowed.
- Glitches are not allowed.
- The Super Game Boy peripheral for the SNES runs at an inaccurate framerate, and is therefore banned. Super Game Boy 2 is allowed, however.
- All variants of Game Boy Tower have inaccurate emulation, and are therefore banned.
- The only allowed emulator is the latest release of Gambatte-Speedrun with a GBC bios image.
- All other emulators are banned.
- If using emulator, using save states and speedup for any reason (including reaching the New Game screen faster) is not allowed.
- Using emulator to create custom palettes that are not usable on any kind of official console is not allowed.
- If using emulator, you must do one of the following to prove your run is using the correct emulator:
	1. Hard reset the emulator using Ctrl-R or the menu option before the start of or during the first 10 minutes of every individual attempt, and include the footage of that reset in your run submission video
	2. Capture the entire emulator including the window border for the submitted video. An example can be seen here:

Sapphire full rules:

- Saving and quitting (S + Q) is allowed.
- Runs must be done on English version with a working battery.

- Timing is by RTA, where timer starts at New Game and ends when screen fades to black after Hall of Fame in game time is shown.
