[@june-ls1hw]

I think this area is especially difficult because of the ledges though. I think it will get to petalburg pretty quick so Wally shouldn’t be that bad. Getting through petalburg woods will take years though IMO just because of the ledges that reset your progress so far.

[@lio8066]

@@june-ls1hwdepends on what you call quickly, since this actually happened about a month ago (atleast that‘s what someone in stream said) He has made it to route 102 and beaten the first trainer there too though, so that‘s decent progress for 1 month I‘d say. But it will only get tougher from here, I can‘t imagine we get past petalberg woods since there are way more ledges and way more grass.

[@MatthewConnellan-xc3oj]

The year is 4289. Seth has been reincarnated hundreds of times. Arceus just gave up trying to enforce the level cap, and so Sceptile is now level 23,897. Pokémon have gone extinct, except a few dozen lucky species. There are only approximately 60 humans left. Anything even remotely related to Pokémon battling has been destroyed, long ago. Sinnoh has become unrecognizable. What used to be the gyms, and cities, have long since turned into ruins, and fossils. People are surviving on Arboliva olives, and wheat. Their language is very different from anything on Earth right now. Finally, Seth, (or whatever he’s called by the other humans by now) steps into the first gym, or what’s left of it. Nothing happens. After a few minutes, the badge ascends from the ground, into his hands.

@@Darkstar-ux5yo every digit corresponds to a GBA input. the bot goes over each individual digit of Pi, and controls the game through Pi-determined inputs. (i.e; pressing 1 is A, so every 1 in the full sequence of Pi is an A button press). after a long, long time, Pi has aligned to bring the bot towards the first battle with May and after around 10 minutes of going through more digits, managed to beat her.

[@olympiannerd]

This is a historical event!!!

[@sagacious03]

Question: Are the inputs not a loop? After all, if you're just using the digits of pi for inputs, in its order, then eventually you have to repeat because there are no more (known) digits. & if you have a neverending supply of digits, how? Pi's digits are infinite, but how do you determine which comes next if you aren't looping? After all, if this whole run just comes down to looping a sequence of digits/inputs, then this the question of the run could be solved much quicker.

[@MudakTheMultiplier]

The longest current calculation of Pi is 105 trillion digits, roughly enough for another 3 million years. More realistically though, it would be possible to set the system up to calculate the next digit as it needs it and not have a pre-written file. Alternatively 250million digits is about a GB, so fitting enough for another 20 years could be done on a flash drive pretty easily.

[@sagacious03]

@@MudakTheMultiplier So the inputs are known, then? If it's as slow as 1 every second, couldn't the playthrough's route just be determined, then?

[@thepokemonqueen]

​@@sagacious03 not necessarily since encounters happen randomly, maybe theoretically you could if you knew which seed the game was on and things like that but I think that would require stopping the game

[@MudakTheMultiplier]

@@sagacious03 another thing that would matter is if the inputs are given frame-precisely. I.e, "exactly every 30 frames" or "once a second" might not be identical. Finding the exact RNG seed would probably be possible, and simulating game state faster might be, but I'm not sure how much faster you could go. In short I'm almost certain it would be possible to simulate *a* run faster than real time, but I'm not sure you could simulate *this* run faster than real time.

[@sagacious03]

@@MudakTheMultiplier What do you mean "simulate a run"? Like, simulate a normal human player's way of playing Emerald? A speedrunner's? I mean, if they play in a simple, typical, predictable way, I suppose so. That's loosely similar to what a TAS does. Albeit, TASes, which are sequences of inputs played out as gameplay, often go faster than 1 per second. But isn't something as predetermined as a finite known quantity of the digits of pi already extremely innately predictable?
