Pokemon Platinum Any% Speedrun in

[@alexanderstilianov]

"It's definitely a record." - Werster after literally getting a world record in one of the best Pokemon games in the series.

[@rmx39]

he knows a 2:30 is possible that's why

[@frankg7786]

What's the difference between literally getting a world record and getting a world record?

[@unbearable505]

​@@frankg7786One word.

[@batofdestiny]

nice job on the new record, werster

[@lnsatiabie4364]

the description of this video is a great read, fantastic run, gg

[@maneruloquendero]

I cannot blink without Werster beating another WR of a DS Pokémon game

[@CreamyPesto505]

Maybe if you close your eyes for a minute, he'll break his own Pokemon Stadium record.

[@charles7293]

NGL when he starts tweaking at 1:56 for missing that trick while he's so far ahead of the records it gave me some good perspective on how perfectionist these speedrunners are

[@simonnelson125]

Been watching you for over 10 years now. Really cool to see that youre still competetive. Favouroïte speedrunner. Congraats on the WR!

[@duck_corp]

Congrats werster! Also, really appreciate you always putting the FAQs in the description. I love reading about the explanations behind routing decisions.

[@yommmrr]

Yeah I read them everytime. Very cool to get insight from a pro like werster.

[@PreacherK]

Congrats, lurked for about an hour and knew it was teh urn! Good shit

[@Aeistheticism]

All hail the duck!

[@jamescarrigan6649]

Love the digs at Game Freak during a WR run. It's a shame that they can't figure out how to develop games for the Switch.

ordering some fries, sauce, burgers, and a milkshake so I can watch and truly enjoy this run

[@ChaturbatePapi]

This will probably be my favorite pokemon game, probably because it was my first. I was definitely like 9 or 10 when I first played. I picked turtwig as my starter, got stuck at the part where all I needed to do was teach rock smash, by the time I made it to the elite 4 my level 74 torterra who I never swapped out got wiped out by the bug trainer and I was pissed. Ik this is random but thanks for the memories

[@RubRubXD]

53:23 The bug is here

[@user-fc2xk3uv8y]

aw man i wish i could've seen this live, congrats werster

[@ChumpChanging]

I’m really curious how this run will look in the next couple of years, it’s so interesting how it’s gone from either infernape or Empoleon to now tentacruel and golduck. I’m assuming there won’t be any massive breakthroughs since other water types you can catch at that level kinda suck, like pelipper for example . But at least in diamond and pearl you could realistically tweak to other places such as stark mountain, so who knows if other Pokémon will be considered or whether it’s not possible in platinum idk but it’s super interesting

[@pedro-larez]

I was just checking the records for this game and I see a new WR by you! Congrats!

[@anoobius3330]

Lvl 69 Golduck, nice.

[@AfffS-oz5sd]

Good to see 10 years later still going at it

[@U4eUh]

Good on you, lad, the crown is where it belongs.

[@kennynakawaki]

53:20 of course, this is where the magic happens 🤣 as soon as he gets the bike, it’s over

[@tyh4969]

Congrats !! Respect the grind !

[@jarvinnightwind]

Watched it live, coming back to watch it again.

especially lately

You should make a split between Lucas and roark timing how long it takes to actually save the game

Golduck is a god.

[@djsweatshirtx]

🎉🎉🎉🎉 Fav speedruner Love the pastebin in the description. I wondered what was up with the golduck instead of tentcoool 😅

[@Swixu]

so fucking real about gamefreak forgetting how to make good games.

[@lilnillasundae]

well done! :)

[@volcaeri]

had a feeling the was going to be the run, but i went out to play video games w the family at about 2 hours in, funny as fuck to see it was barely over a 2:35 lmfao, at least next pb will surely be under that so no worries... right? :^) ggs though, can't wait to see more of the bounty runs honestly, i'm loving the friendship room runs even if they're a little on the shorter side.

[@samstringer8274]

Nice! Will you do glitchless?

[@helderjones4962]

wow that was fast GRATS!!

[@Cleverconveyence]

It's kinda wild how a Platinum WR isnt much longer than a Red WR.

[@sfxdlwsrs]

Wow that's fucking impressive dude

[@Cristhian318]

Another amazing world record!

[@miata646]

That's one bad ass mother ducker

[@cheickfiss6582]

Masterclass 👏

[@chiropteran2966]

is there a manip purpose to naming the Rival Roy or is the difference between picking a pre-named rival and typing in a single character just that negligible?

[@gunlap3397]

It's so that he can make the seed he is trying to hit for the trainer ID. Spending the time to type it misses the seed

[@Coal-RubL]

very impressive

[@luco4222]

Congrats!

[@pablosalas6350]

3 rock throw failed in a row. Just the luckiest player ever

[@Thatoneguy8100]

I know nothing about platinum speedruns. How does he have like no wild encounters before floraroma where he can buy a repel? Is there a pathing to it or a manip of some sort?

[@phammark2248]

It's true: Gen 4 has the longest early game

[@ralelunar]

I don't think that the FAQ explains this: Why does time not stop as soon as Cynthia is defeated?

[@Omega7321]

Think a Meditite+ run could be somewhat fast?

[@chipklip2]

good jub

[@SuperNinjaMarth]

Would you be able to do timemarks for gyms?

[@kevinmcgiveney5128]

It's not every day a Golduck takes center stage in a speedrun. By the way, why didn't you battle Maylene?

[@June_lt3]

W!

[@ww_artemis]

I just noticed that Colin fucking Farrell was mentionned in the special thanks of Pokemon Platinum credits wtf haha

[@miketacos9034]

If you could increase speed of the HP and EXP bars, this speedrun would be twice as fast.

[@thad8557]

Charizard is game freak’s favorite Pokémon and it’s not even close.

Anyone ever done an Empoleon run? I’m asking because Piplup is obviously the worst of the sinnoh starters

[@Dukstless]

...the description states the route used to be Empoleon solo. pls read the description

[@volcaeri]

"piplup is obviously the worst out of the sinnoh starters" excuse you. piplup slander is absolutely unnecessary

[@windwaker0rules]

Pretty sure in every Pokemon game the grass starter is the worst

[@ratabreak3902]

Gens 1 5 6 8 and 9 have something to tell you ​@@windwaker0rules

[@Luckingsworth]

​@@windwaker0rules Bulbasaur is obkectively the best started in Gen 1 as it is type effective against the first two gyms and gains xp the fastest.
