Thank you all for your support, and for watching my run! I hope to be working on the Elite 4 Round 2 run in the near future. I'd have to say that I'm VERY pleased with the outcome of this run. Overall, yes, there were some avoidable mistakes in this run, as well as some unavoidable ones, but overall my luck with mega punch and mega kick prior to X items, I feel, more than makes up for them. And makes the difference in number of X items used in the E4. It makes the difference between blaine healing his pokemon and his pokemon dying. Silph co and cinnibar mansion: The vitamins are necessary, believe it or not. I postponed surge until later due to the randomness of fighting raichu under leveled. I switched to a different GCN controller as soon as the boat took off =Pįirst time on Surge's trash cans, which in of itself can be a run breaker. Had to fight an extra battle to get back on track, in order to have bite by the time I got to fight misty's starmie.Īccidental fight on the SS Anne, right after acting retarded trying to get my sitrus berry. Made a mistake on that bug catcher and allowed one of my other pokemon to get experience. I've found that it goes much slower without this key factor, applied whenever possible. I died a couple of times trying to do so, but overall it helped out a lot. I tried to abuse Squirtle's "Torrent" ability to boost his water moves whenever possible by keeping his HP low. I named the character, as well as the obtained pokemon, "U," for the sake of conversations where I am addressed, and every time I did an attack, it says, for example, "U used mega punch!" I felt this would add a neat effect for the viewer of this run. This run is a whole 6 minutes faster than my previous, messed up, unsubmitted VHS run. (Such as my accidental fly to Celedon instead of Lavender) I've found out that it's pressuring to play while recording! (Plus drinking a can of Monster energy, and then not ending your run until after 2 am doesn't help.) There are also a couple of things where you'll watch and say, hey, you're an idiot for messing that up. As a result of which, there are some mistakes in my run which are unable to be avoided completely. For those of you new to this speed running sort of thing, that means I sit here in front of my Gameboy Player playing Pokemon for 3 hours straight, without saving and quitting. This run, as I'm sure you already know, is a single segment run. Finally, thanks to Tom "Slowbro" Batchelor for posting the bounty to get me motivated and re-interested in speedrunning. building, and the rest of those who talked to me about and supported this run. Thanks also goes out to the folks at, Jade at gamefaqs for his warp tile solution in the silph co. And of course I have to pay my dues to Radix, Mikwuyma, and Nate for making all of this possible for speedrunners like myself today. Thanks also to Matt Dahm, Shaun Homrich, and my brother and sisters Matthew, Kelsey, and Jasmine for listening to me ramble about strategies and being supportive. My friend Tom "Gzus" Barnett was also of much help with his massive knowledge of move base powers and accuracies, type advantages, and etc.
I also owe a HUGE amount of credit to my best friend, Nick Street, for the development of the strategy used to complete this run. First and foremost, I'd like to thank my fiancee, Angela Cronmiller for being supportive of me during this run.
