I won't lie, the fact that the hardest to get mega stone in this speedrun is also the mega stone you are just given for going through the story in X and Y is pretty funny

[@WingedEspeon]

Honestly it makes sense. Nintendo wants you to buy x and y so you don't have to go through the long process of getting the stone.

The Stone Staredown is the most lore-intensive part of the Delta Episode, and it's a shame that people who take the time to read the dialogue might miss it because they're too slow to mash through the textboxes

[@lasercraft32]

Anyone else really bothered by the fact that the contest reward is a Lucarionite instead of Altarianite??? I mean COME ON! The champion lady literally uses Mega Altaria and its pretty much the only time it appears. :/

[@zumberburg6527]

I guess because they wanted to have all the new oras megas easily accessible as they were one of the main selling points of the game. If mega altaria was in xy, it would definitely be the reward for the contest because players would have already had a chance to use it in xy.

[@WereDictionary]

Im fine with it. I'd rather have Mega Altaria during the story than Mega Lucario, especially because Lucario needs to be traded over anyway while Altaria is a Hoenn native. Its still a bs requirement though.

I got the Garchompite and it was a miserable experience. I had to add people on GameFAQs. And even then, the thread we made had to filter out people who didn't want to engage in the process to output the maximum amount of flags for everyone.

[@mkdsluke]

You could also get Secret Bases via SpotPass or by scanning QR codes, I can't remember the exact number but there was a cap on how many you could get

When I saw this thumbnail, Garchompite was what I immediately wondered about. Glad it's not part of the speedrun.

[@amirhaayers2736]

I love Pokemon Contests! Especially in the Anime. They were great! If I was in the Pokemon world I'd want to be a Top Coordinator so back when ORAS was released I was SO excited to finally be able to do Contests and I decided I was going to win Master Rank in all five categories to prove that I actually could become a Top Coordinator if I was in the Pokemon world and I also decided I wasn't going to use Cosplay Pikachu at all because that seemed like cheesing and also because a real Coordinator in the Pokemon world would have an actual team so I decided to beat every Contest with a different Pokemon who were my Contest Team. They were: Umbreon for Clever, Mightyena for Tough, Sceptile for Cool, Latias for Beauty and Lopunny for Cute. I'm really happy that I proved to myself that I could become a Top Coordinator. Mastering Pokeblocks, Perfecting my Move combinations and really showing my Pokemon off the best they can be, just like the Anime. Also, thanks to anyone who bothered to read this.

ORAS is definitely my favorite Pokémon games. I wanted to run them but I specialize in shorter games. But man is this video great. Something I love about your content, and this video in general, is that it showcases the goofy with the impressive.

And it’s universal, every game, every genre, all united under the umbrella of silly and go fast. It’s what I love about speedrunning

That would cost at least a minute to go west out of Mauville and dodge optional trainers to pick up the Mawilite early.

@dustindean4618 Optimization is not always clear in these cases. But if you watch deeper into the video, you'll learn why it's simply worth waiting for the post game Stones to be available! You basically get 4 Stones next to one another instead of just 1.

[@skynet0912]

This just makes me think: How long would a "100%" speedrun of a pokemon be, even as a TAS? What if you had to speedrun to do literally everything you can do without online features? You have to get all pokemon you can get in the game, at least 1 of every item available in the game not locked behind events or online features, find every hidden item, beat every trainer, fight every non-repeating battle, and so on... What games would be actually fun to do this in? Which would realisticly take the least and the most time to do? I have wanted to do this just casually, but even in games i know well, it takes SOOO long that only really streamers or speedrunners seem to have the patience to try and figure this out in any sort of optimized way... It could even be a fun collab or charity event, where you just get a bunch of speedrunners together, and just try and do this in a single game!
