Pokemon Emerald Any% Glitchless in

Shiru's reign finally ends with the first ever 2:29! What a run, Archie split was kinda shit but everything else was really good. And the champ fight at the end to finish the run off was just perfect. With a 2:29 I am probably done with Emerald for a long long time.

3 years and 1 month later, my most precious record has been taken with this absolute beast and the first 2:29 ever. Being proud is an understatement, you are an inspiration like Exarion could've been years ago. People need to understand that you may very well be the best current Pokémon speedrunner. Congratulations on this insane feat!

Props to u w human

[@wavewarrior6948]

"You are an inspiration like Exarion could've been years ago." Being compared to Exarion is the highest praise any Pokemon speedrunner could ever receive, and I am honored that you would consider me to be anywhere near the same tier as him. I don't think anyone will ever be able to match what Exarion has done for PSR, myself obviously included. His skill level at all aspects of the game (routing, decision making, technical execution, etc.) is so high that it's hard to match him in a single one of these categories, and matching him in all is most likely impossible. When I first started running Red four years ago, I did it solely because I thought it would be fun after watching a SummoningSalt video, and I never had any intention of showing my runs to anyone. I never would have imagined I would be where I am today. I had many Red runners I looked up to when I was starting out: Exarion, Gunnermaniac, Pokeguy, Franchewbacca, and Araya, as a few examples. And once I decided to branch out from my comfort zone of Gens 1 and 2 and start running Emerald, I of course was inspired by the King of Gen 3, Shiru. I specifically remember being in awe of how managed to do victory road bonkless, on the mach bike, in the dark. I thought I would never be able to compete with your skill level. This run was everything I could have possibly hoped for out of running this game, and more. Mastering the mach bike is probably the most rewarding thing I've ever done in a game. I grinded my ass off to get this time, and I couldn't be happier that I somehow managed to unseat someone as dominant in this game as you. Between this run and my 3:08 crystal run, I could lose every record I have and never get another one, and I'd still be happy. Now that the onus of sub 2:30 has been removed, I wonder if it will open the floodgates for people to optimize this game even further. I would love to lose this record, I want to see how low this game can go, and I'd love a reason to grind this game again. Who knows, maybe 2:28 is right around the corner. I'm sorry for the word vomit, I had more to say than I thought I did. Thank you for your kind words. I'm coming for your ass in sapphire, just you wait.

What was this Rayaqaza catch? How is it even possible using only one pokeball? Counting pace?? what?? never seen this before, insane..

[@darkeagle253]

Im curious about that as well... What was he waiting for to click?

[@OzzyTheGiant]

I don't know myself, but a really good guess is that RNG in every game has to have a "seed", that seed could be anything (time, temperature of a computer, etc.) so in this case, it might have been based on the moment that you press the button to throw the pokeball.

[@oneicarus]

@@OzzyTheGiantEmerald’s Random Number Generator is a preseeded set that runs for as long as the RNG chip in the cartridge is powered. When there’s no more power in the cartridge because its internal battery has run dry after a few years, the preseeded numbers repeat from the beginning every time you log into the game. So after saving and reloading, if you know when the good numbers will appear, you can do a frame perfect trick to get them. A metronome helps with that.

[@roadrunner5549]

It's rng manipulation there are a set of a few delays in a row that all have first ball catches on Rayquaza. That's why he was talking about which Rayquaza he got

[@alfasaurus362]

Im new with pokemon speedruns and i dont literally understand what did you calculate with rayquaza? what the heck and how did you catch it with normal pokeball, why you didnt use masterball

[@diegoxavier9107]

Whenever you hear the muttered counting ot ticking, he's trying to get the timing right for RNG manipulation. By entering a series of button presses in a frame-perfect sequence, you can effectively guarantee certain "luck-based" aspects of the game to result in predetermined outcomes. He did it with the Mudkip at the start, too-- you wouldn't be able to live certain attacks or hit damage thresholds in certain fights if your starter was truly random. So RNGmanip is a way of standardizing strategy

[@mariocruno3772]

Wow! Congratulations on th record! I wanted to ask though, why was the save and restart needed for right before choosing your starter?

[@00lililili64]

You get the personality and stats you want through RNG manipulation. In theory, it would be perfect for speedruns.

[@raghavadoregowda2191]

Frame matching....It's a very common technique to "track" the frames after pressing a specific button. By counting the clicks, it's possible to manipulate parameters like nature, pokeball capture rates, evading encounters and maybe even encountering shinies. I'm not sure as to when to "start" the click or "how" many clicks corresponds to manipulating which parameter. But to put it in a non geekish way, this is what its all about.

[@stevencamphuis4419]

how does that abra manip work. can you do that trick stand alone or do you have to do all the tricks before that to make it work. i am asking this because i want to maybe use this trick in my nuzlock runs to garantee me an abra.

It's affected by the number of steps you've taken. So you don't need to do all the same tricks but you need to take the same path.

@@giovanni0811 I watched some runs after this and I understand it now. He uses a flowtimer to do something called "Frame Manipulation".

[@giovanni0811]

@@Paul180 YES, I never try to manipulate RNG for a speedrun, but I did this to obtain perfect IVs e nature without cheat. When you aren't versus the timer, you can use a script, it's more simple. It's totally legal. I have a save state of Emerald absolutely perfect: I have all 386 pokèmon LEGIT, also Celebi and Jirachi. Infact, I did JAP Colosseum and I manipulate the frame to obtain a timid Celebi with perfect IVs. In Colosseum is also possible to obtain Raikou, Entei and Suicune with perfect IVs (it's impossibile in Fire Red and Leaf Green).

[@Rooxie973]

@@nathanielhutson7202 that's the only method I've found through a quick search. The details are still not public apparently

[@wavewarrior6948]

Yes, it is RNG manipulation. When you hard reset the console, the game always starts at the same RNG seed (which happens to be 0), and the RNG advances once per frame in a set way. It is very easy to write a program to generate the RNG value on every frame after hard reset. Since RNG advances in a set way, as long as we play same way after hard resetting, we get the same outcome. On rayquaza manip, we time when we talk to rayquaza in order to get good stats, and we time entering the bag and throwing the poke ball because there is a 4 frame window where the poke ball catches rayquaza at full health. These windows are known simply by looking at the RNG values at each frame and finding ones that correspond to the outcomes we want. The same principle applies to mudkip manip and chained manip. We hard reset and then do things the same way in order to get set outcomes (amazing mudkip stats, and a tailow and abra catch, respectively) Dead battery doesn't actually affect RNG manips in this game. Dead battery is faster than live battery, though, because with a live battery you get random phone calls from trainers you've fought. Luckily this game is quite old and basically every cart by now has a dead battery.

He looks to good to be speedrunning. When you speedrun professional or even game professional, you rarely live a healthy lifestyle. He could stop playing video games, go out in the sun, hit the gym or another muscle training sport, like tennis, get a new haircut a new wardrobe and start to apply for a model agency, or synchronisation (because he has a deep voice) or acting, because he has the looks (very distinctive facial features). Obviously even though he has potential without an agent he won't get anywhere, but it's still a much more profitable and healthier prospect for the future than playing video games.
