The difference is being able to outspeed Starmie.and it makes a huge difference. Gym Leaders have "Good" AI, and so she will always use Water attacks on me. SS Anne: This fight is much easier than the previous one, goes flawlessly.Ĭerulean Gym: I was intially doing this before going down to SS Anne, but would lose about 90% of the time. I usually only get 1 here like 10% of the time too >_> Perfect Jingle Skip! Incredibly got 2 encounters here, that's never happened before. To Vermillion: This is all pretty standard too. Rest of the battles are fairly easy, and go well. Nugget Bridge: This Rival fight can be murder, Lead has Growl, two others have Sand Attack.this was very nice. Mt Moon: Average encounters in here is about 9, so pleased with this too. Route 3: That attack going in!!! These fights were all nice. Onix can destroy you with Bind so bad here.this was insanely good comparatively. Pewter Gym: Unfortuneately my Defense was actually too good to be redbar after the Jr Trainer, so that sucked. Battles in here were nice, got myself my flier too, and much less than the normal 5 encounters. I had 16, 13, 14, 13 which are the absolute best I've ever had. Keep in mind every single one of them matters for this run, attack obviously costs you time, as does special, speed will cost you some time too and get you killed on Misty, and without the Defense you will lose the last battle. After the first battle, at level 8, I check my stats. Getting a Nidoran to 12 actually takes less exp than getting a Mankey to 9, so even negating the rest of the run this is still the fastest. Viridian Forest: Have to grind a bit in here for Double Kick for Brock.

I usually stop after about 10 encounters, so this was more than acceptable.

Route 2: And here is the bane of all my runs.looking for that perfect Nidoran. Route 1: 3 encounters back and forth is about average here. The turn count was actually the worst, but I had redbar so it was alright. Rival Fight is actually quicker to lose since your defense is so low, and he can kill you in 3 turns. Don't care about Pika so he gets a shitty name. Opening: I and U for names again, it's awesome, deal with it. That being said, I wouldn't come back to this again unless someone else managed to beat this time (or maybe in 27 years time when I lose memory of this game) This was much harder to make than I thought it would be, but at the same time, there is still some roo for improvement. I have lost runs to 7 of the 8 gym leaders, everyone in the Elite Four, and several things you'd think were no threat at all, including Nidorans, Rattatas, Raticates and even Zubats. I was incredibly pleased when I saw 2:02 show up at the end (I actually thought it was a 2:03 when running it too.) This game has a fantastic tendancy throughout the whole game where one crit from just about anyone will end your run. The Metroidhunters Crew: For the general support during the run, and the audio commentary. Sylux: For the infamous Sylux Skip in Silph Co. 0xwas, cyghfer, mike89, ParadoxKarl, I'm looking at you guys. The SDA staff: For making this run viewable to you right now!Īnyone who helped with the Blue run: Since most of that was transferred over here. Now into the thankyous for everyone involved in this run: First off, I'd like to point out that This run is available on YouTube should you prefer that viewer style.
