PMD Series ReA FAQ

Are you insane?
Yes.

Q: Do you take sleep breaks?
A: Yes, the larger timer always displays my time without sleep breaks, while the smaller timer is constantly going from start to end. The gameplay timer is the one that matters more for leaderboard purposes. I’m allowed to take a sleep break for roughly every 13 hours of gameplay time plus a few extra, so the amount of sleep breaks depends on your final time.

Q: Why are there 2 timers / what are they for?
A: The timer that has a lot of information and splits in the top right is the gameplay timer, which only runs while I'm not taking a specified break. The timer in the bottom left is my RTA timer, which will constantly continue until I complete this challenge.
Q: What are the Wondermail codes used for?
A: The codes are used to obtain many, many items. Some of the most useful items are Golden Seeds, Wonder Gummis, Fight Gem, Golden Mask, and Mobile Scarf.

Q: How many Pokemon are you obtaining?
A: 413 + 525 (+ starter and partner makes 527) + 144? (Gates can vary) + 779

Q: Is this a living dex?
