Pokemon Emerald Battle Frontier FAQ

Pokemon Emerald All Gold Symbol FAQ

Q: The fuck is a Gold Smybol?
A: A Gold Symbol is received for beating a Frontier Brain twice. They are very difficult to get

Q: How many Gold Smbyols do you need?
A: 7.

Q: So what is your team going to be?
A: Throughout the game, just Swampert + Slaves. Post game I'll pick up Latios and Metagross to take to the Battle Frontier

Q: Do you really need to use those Pokemon specifically, couldn't you use some other Pokemon?
A: It's quite possible a different combination would work better, but this is the best team I've come up with to beat all the facilities consistently, and fast.

Q: Is it really consistent?
A: No.

Q: Why did you keep reseting after getting Mudkip? And why are you saving?
A: The first thing you gotta know is this isn't a Single Segment run, it's a RTA, which means it's timed by real time and not game time, pretty much. This allows me to save and reset, and that allows me to abuse the way the RNG in this game works. From a hard reset, the RNG seed always defaults back to the same number, so because of that it is predictable...to the frame. So what I'm trying to do with Mudkip (and Beldum later on) is hit a specific frame from a reset to give me the exact stats I want

Q: What frame are you trying to hit?
A: Mudkip: Frame 3253 Lonely 22/31/27/31/31/23
Beldum: Frame 841 Adamant 29/29/8/17/23/17

Q: Why don't you do this for Latios?
A: The issue with this is Latios's stats are generated when you say "BLUE" to your mother to make him appear. He takes a while to find, so if you miss it takes forever to retry, and hitting the frame is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. The one I try to hit is this one
Latios: Frame 2859 Modest 26/4/22/28/18/30

Q: What is the World Record?
A: First of all, there isn't one because no one has completed a run. Second of all, this isn't a real category it's just something I'm doing for fun, there will never be a "World Record" for this run, because I don't consider it a speedrun in it's purest sense.

Q: What is your estimate for how long you think this will take?
A: Between about 20 and 50 hours (One death can cost several hours)

Q: Why do you use Frame 5?
A: Because it's sexy :3

Q: Why do you name yourself and Mudkip 'I'?
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

Q: I just heard you orgasming like crazy and I couldn't see why...are you crazy?
A: There are several trainers in this game that spin like crazy. It's either because one caught me, or one didn't >_>

Q: Isn't this a luck based run?
A: Yes, there is luck involved. Yes, I am still running it. I love pokemon and will run it regardless :)
