How I speedran the Scarlet Pokédex Day 1

[@Fir]

*THIS VIDEO CONTAINS MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS* Because I complete the whole story and catch every Pokemon, I would not recommend watching this video if you are trying to stay spoiler free. I figured it was implied with the premise of the video but I'm pinning this comment as an extra precaution.

oh okay thank you!

[@doug539]

The reason that Pawmo didn't evolve was because the step count resets once you end the let's go mode, so it has to level up when it is out. And yeah 1000 steps won't take too long, 3 minutes of walking would be enough.

[@Ozzmod3us]

oh I didnt know it reset, thx for the info lmao

[@mutaku4287]

Thank you so much

[@dmitrierichsen455]

@@mutaku4287 It does not reset. I accidentaly put my Pawmo back in the ball multiple times. It's just important to keep it out in let's go mode when levelling it up. :)

[@dmitrierichsen455]

@@mutaku4287 Sorry, tagged wrong person.

[@CyPhaSaRin]

@@dmitrierichsen455 you mean it needs to be outside the ball and given a candy or exp to get it into the next level and only then will it evolve provided you have fullfilled the 1000 steps? I mean I dunno about the 3 min claim whoever made. I walked my price of crap up and down the desert for 10 two nights back and it's still a fkn pawmo. I hate the thing, gotta do it with 2 more Pokemon yet.

[@purplegill10]

I'd love to see astel's reaction to your solo run

[@Fir]

That'd be cool, I was super impressed when I learned about Astel's run! Cool that I wasn't the only one to spend way to long without sleep trying to finish the pokedex haha.

Congratulations Fir!!!!! Also the other streamer played Violet, You played Scarlet. So you still were the first to complete Scarlet's Pokedex!!

Dang it I don't want spoilers for the game so I'll let this video play on my phone in another room, but I will come back and watch the video once I get through most of my own playthrough! Also Congrats Fir!

Sheesh can't you speedrunners ever just PLAY the GAME?!?!! I kid I kid. Great job! World first looks hella nice on a speedrunning resume. HUGE respect for taking a break when you needed to, that is honestly the most inspiring part of the whole thing. Good on you for taking care of yourself.

this mad lad legit streamed for almost two days straight before the game even came out where he lives. what a legend.

[@SuperJulz7]

you are an absolute grinder, Fir! I'm upset I missed the live reaction to the completion but I loved being a part of the journey!

[@echodff]

42 hours is definitely the time your body starts to tell you it's dying and forces you to want to sleep at any cost.

[@triggerhappy4199]

True I’ve done 72 but at that point you will physically collapse at any second

[@CrimsonMaou]

i did NOT expect to see Holostars/live be mentioned in a Fir video at ALL, wild crossing of worlds.

[@Mari-he1jp]

Congrats on completing the pokedex by yourself! Completing it all by yourself is insane, i would have gone insane if i were in your shoes. My favorite thing about Astel’s run is that unlike your stream where you just turned the stream off he would just leave the stream on and take 2 naps for a hour throughout the whole thing and just go back to catching pokemon normally. I don’t understand how you guys function at all like this.

[@CJ-lh8so]

Great video, I had avoided the steams until I got the chance to play the game. You video did a great job of explaining what you did without spoiling too much of the experience of playing it.

[@fernandogalvez2326]

This video is great! Cant wait for Fir to do this same thing for the next 2 dlc’s!

[@TrolldownYT]

This run was crazy wow nice job

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

I've never played a Pokemon game before, but I'm still going to watch this because Fir's content is just so fun to watch.

[@Knightros]

11:07 is the end of the story, for everyone who hasn't beaten the game yet.

[@sheiko774]

One thing that might’ve helped is the fact that version exclusives can be caught by the other version while playing together online

[@bonkuwu3584]

Welp that's a game changer

[@farrahp1569]

"Has he slept yet?" Fir: "What does sleeping do? Oh wait, you mean in real life!"

[@christiewillmon5910]

For the walking evolutions (pawmot, bramblin, roller) just walk from mesagoza gate to light house in the beginning area then back to mesagoza and circle back to Los platos. Longest route possible. It got roller evolved without having to count steps.

[@skeletor1344]

Putting in the grind, I respect it.

[@AidanLaGrasta]

your pronunciation of Annihilape caught me so off guard lmao but congrats and good job! I'm at 392 right now, plan to finish it tonight or tomorrow

[@bo1bo1bo14]

Its cool how you were the first person to complete the pokedex

[@bandit2366]

Those let's go evolutions you could just walking in circles by holding forward and looking right then in 1 minute or less it can easily evolve

The fact that there are 2 more Pokemon to evolve with walking is funny

[@DeepNacho3]

Of course Iona wanted in on your Mario Hide & Seek success

[@scythehedgehog9849]

The easiest way to evolve the Walk Count evolutions is ride Koraidon/Miraidon in a circle while dashing while the Pokemon follows you. Took me two and a half minutes every time.

[@Suceeder]

btw fir, if you crash, you can press the up button from the cross pad, and x + b on the right controller to get the backup, which is the last time you healed from a pokecenter

Easiest way to catch all pokemon is get a pokemon that can learn false swipe. Level it up to 70+. False swipe knocks the opposition's HP to 1HP therefore easy to catch.

I have a dumb Mario odyssey percentage speedrun Tourist%: Read the entire brochure for every kingdom before doing anything, get every checkpoint and every area. Get all of the story moons and get all of the purple coin items except the expensive outfit in every kingdom. And you HAVE to complete the story of each kingdom.

Funny thing with the start and you buying the japanese version to play early: I live in Germany and for whatever reason I got my copy on Thursday, one day before release. I also could play it without problems.

[@Vsarlax]

I feel like one of the best Pokémon for catching is kingambit with defiant because it can raise its attack when a stat is lowered and it has one of the highest attack stats in the game. And it learns false swipe to

thats what the sworda are for? i was only finding them at the lake where dondoso is and thought that if i pull them he would come out.
