[@GrantDavis]

Just did a run of this up to Pomeg berry glitch. I lost my poison by getting an encounter when Swampert was the only guy left and I missed my attack, so poison killed me on the end of turn. I got a Lv. 8 Pooch down to 1, and tried a berry on him. It didn't work... Can you explain?

[@Werster]

+Grant Davis The whole point of the Pomeg Berry is that it reduces your HP EVs, which in turn reduces your HP. A lvl 8 Poochenya will not only not have 10 HP EVs to lose, but even if it did, it almost certainly would make no difference to it's actual HP, as it's level is too low to make a difference, henec why Swampert (your higher level) is used for this task.

[@GrantDavis]

+Werster Thanks man.

I know in most of the places there, the smeargle would be like an instant lose, but it works with a few of them and I'm sure that would save a lot of time.

[@TheChesterKiwi]

Wait, did I miss something or how did we go from beating Winona to Evergrande? Is that part of the Pomeg glitch?

[@hans-kristiannygard8456]

When scrolling up during the pomeg berry glitch you mess up other parts of your save. Thats the reason he kept checking tailow, tried to mess it up in such a way it gave him the flight path to evergrande.

[@Paul180]

@@Paul180 To get reliably down to 1HP, so the HP EV reducing Pomeg Berry would fake-kill it, allowing for the later glitch shenanigans.

By only having one Pokemon. They are a Double Battle.

[@wheresmymuffins]

well that explains where i went wrong. when i restarted the game to check i got an encounter in petalburg woods and thought "oooh shroomish theyre pretty rare"

[@Paul180]

1:42:48 WTFFFF

[@ieatpaper]

Pls explon: why gril; why name 'I'; why specific border

[@destinygalearies7382]

Paperclippy Play as girl because the male rival has less dialogue. Name the player I because it makes the text scroll faster than giving her an actual name (He only uses I specifically out of personal preference).

[@MAYOFORCE]

How did he skip Wally?

[@MAYOFORCE]

[@ScansGMS]

View 220! Congrats Werster! What are you going to speedrun next?

[@lancelotofqc7847]

On the 2nd rival battle, may's first pokemon is a wingull and not a slugma, so the x-attack strat doesn't work since wingull just growls and lowers the attack stat. Why is the line-up different for me??

[@lancelotofqc7847]

Nevermind, I realized that the character gender is crucial in this speedrun. I should've chosen May

[@trulynotChinmay]

okay i've been watching speedruns for the recent while but i don't understand what that thing under the timer that says "possible time save" and "sum of best segments" means. anybody?

[@KeoN710]

Possible time save is where there are feasible improvements to be made, and Sum of Best is the total of the best splits.. Say you get a new best split from start to 1st gym, that'd be added into the "sum of best" and further reduce the time, it's basically the fastest splits from all runs put into a sort of personal-best

[@trulynotChinmay]

oh thanks :D

[@dooda2134]

37:13 that range

[@MrGreatDane2]

i really hated that you skipped the last battle xD

[@JaneSable]

Why did they choose I (other than the obvious wordplay)? Isn't just selecting the first letter the fastest? Or is it that bit of flair everyone puts on a run?

[@inYourBackline]

Smaller/shorter letter = less frames = WAAAY more time saved than using the first letter

[@JaneSable]

RaMoN 0R30 Thanks, always been wondering why! :D

[@inYourBackline]

[@stylishgaby]

+Marsha Oakley and also the joke of I and U

Falco Mcluigi That was super clutch

[@maxwellhammond1078]

[@echolight7067]

1:55:04 lol wut...

[@DamonMunday]

Wanted to ask where the near 2 minutes got saved in the last split.. If you can instantly run from any encounter where did you save almost 2 minutes over the last time?

[@Werster]

Damon Munday In my previous record, I got IFG instead of IVG. The difference is IFG turns the battle into a specific type of battle that you can Flee from with a Fluffy Tail (Instant Flee), wheres IVG ends the battle immediately after canceling looking at the move list, and is therefore much faster

[@DamonMunday]

***** Makes sense. I assumed it had to be something but didn't go find the old PB to compare. Thanks :)

[@beta511ee4]

I know this is unrelated, but after triggering a cutscene such as a battle or going into the Start menu, what would be the difference in speed between simply walking away from a solid object you are in front of and "buffering" an input after bumping into a wall?

[@TheRileyC]

Can someone please explain to me wtf happened

[@jeremiasg.1180]

Riley C he's using the bad egg glitch since you can use glitches in any% mode, just google it up

[@xauvled]

I dont know if i did something wrong but while i was doing the pomag glitch while following this run it got myself the EON TICKET!!

[@Rilobster]

Wouldn't it be faster to play as the male trainer? it would barley save time, but I'm pretty sure that May is a shorter name than Brendan. I'm trying to say that I think it's faster to play as Brendan cuz it shaves a few frames off the rival fights... right?

[@zhumanchuie]

actually he talked about this on stream, may is shorter than brendan, but they have different speech patterns, and brendans are wayyyy shorter, so picking brendan as a rival ends up saving time

[@Rilobster]

Oh ok

[@jacegallagher8589]

I'm so fucking pissed right now. I did not realize why you left Swampert poisoned and I saved after healing him. I'm so fucking pissed right now cause I gotta start all over. The speedrun was great but would have been nice if you went back after and explained what you were doing with Swampert and the pomeg berries.

[@xisktrl]

Lol

[@gerry1888]

wouldn't that be better if you did went in the pokemno center at teh start in petalburg and using teleport as soon after the match call the president?

[@Werster]

[@MemberHomei]

Do you also have games where you do a commentary?

[@JoCold]

impressive, even if i dont really understand things like the wingull before victory road and why almost every speedrun is with female char. i guess i never properly watched speedruns tho

[@rojopantalones9791]

I think the female character is faster because Brendan has less dialogue... Possibly

[@piyushrawat308]

38:20 satisfying moment

[@Jasmine11112]

Why do you pick the girl character? Wouldn't picking the boy be faster since the rival's name is shorter?

[@jojosdojo8238]

when playing as May, the text in the game is significantly shorter than when playing as Brendan.

[@shaquilleoseal1390]

Does this have no relation with the PP he used so many times and never healed

[@doubledoublenopickle]
