Pokemon Platinum Elite Four Round 2 Speedrun in

A good improvement. But this was a very, very strange run.
The overworld was fantastic. Hit all my manips, hit zero spinners. Couldn't ask for much more right?
Well...except for the battles. The battles in this run were really, really bad. And I don't mean the "I'm a stuck-up perfectionist runner who has no grasp of the reality of how much practice and effort has been put into games and call everything shit no matter what" kind of bad, I mean actually genuinely horrendous.
So, I have very mixed feelings, but it was nice to finish the run and get the record back.

"How is this run so bad" -Werster, about a WR run by over a minute

[@raze2012_]

lol, by far the saltiest WR I've ever seen. Guess it means there's plenty of room for improvement.

[@andre_af]

@8balln8 killingu65 yeah, all the crits he hit were useless and just wasted screen time with the text box lol

Ty for running pokémon once in a while as its what I enjoy watching most. But keep it up whatever you run, good shit Werster!

[@Razmatschannel]

brent vervloesem he streams Pokémon all the time, he only posts runs he finished or funny moments

[@brentje9759]

@@Razmatschannel Yea i figured he streamed everything he did and half his content is still like Pokémon on youtube. I personally don't really watch streams/twitch but you're right. If i wanted more of Werster playing pokémon i'd hang out in his stream, just mostly wanted to say thanks for the entertainment. I guess i underestimated howmuch pokémon he still plays tho. My bad.

[@raphaelcheng2254]

I love it when Werster presses A or taps the screen with the music. I do that a lot too lol

[@minimumeffortmemes6901]

I watched this live. It was amazing how many battles were absolute shit but didn’t end the run. Gg Werster

[@amychen2188]

This run was a roller coaster of emotions. Starting from there's no way you're getting the WR, so many red splits. To okay, woah that was a 45s time save and pink splits from nowhere, to that comical freeze kill by machamp and ending with a wow, how on earth did you WR that mess of a run.

[@mblakew1273]

Yo are those tiny clicks him mashing the A button repeatedly? Can’t imagine doing that for 4 hours

[@Theosis]

I believe he mashes A, B and L (L is probably the button that's making the loudest clicky sound)

[@cosmicangel233]

This dude has the records for both Pokémon Stadium complete the game runs. If he can run a game for over 19 hours, he can mash A for 4. This dude is a god.

[@mblakew1273]

Cosmic Angel I know he’s insane but like he’s mashing the button at times where it’s totally unnecessary. Makes MY hand hurt lol

[@ATROFlAR]

Pretty sure he uses a stylus, could be wrong tho

Fun isn't something one considers when is about a speedrun.But this... does put a smile on my face.

[@rzzzzzzzzsontwitch]

Still blows my mind that I’ve watched this speedrun prolly a total of 300 plus times and at 1:16 he predicts what it’s going to do and PBs and ends up being WR still blows my mind

[@tochaz4684]

If all those battles were not so bad, this run would have been a few minutes quicker lol

youre far ahead of the curve my friend

I thought your early fights were bad, then I saw Fantina's Mismagius... holy shit spdef drof AND confusion?!? It was so close to killing the whole run. Edit: and there are worse fights later lmao, unbelievable bad luck and still got the Wr.

[@OrangeHood]

gg, on the run I kinda wanna go play platinum now xD Just curious though, why did he change the time at 4:12:30? Sorry if it's a dumb question

[@g0wasu]

gg absolute legend

[@Zorua87]

Can anyone tell why he picked piplup and not chimchat as he did in his diamond/pearl run?

[@porgeporgeporge]

Zorua87 I think the main reason is that you don’t get Hidden Power in Jubilife City in Platinum like you do in DP. Chimchar can’t really beat Roark or his gym trainers without it unless you spend time grinding until it evolves. Piplup/Prinplup/Empoleon also has access to most of the HMs, which is handy.

[@RulezAPower]

Hope that A button was 18.

[@killerofzombs115]

"I'm not saying I'm going to start murdering my subscribers, I'm just..... thinking...."

[@2Broken]

kind of a nub question, when did this route change to pick piplup vs chimchar?

[@darkskidmark2664]

Jadine Swinesworth I’m not sure as I don’t really keep up with the routes but I think werster has an faq in the description if you wanna quickly check that.

[@HoppouChan]

Reason is not explicitely stated, but I think it's because you don't get Hidden Power that early in Platinum

[@2Broken]

oh, i meant when, rather than why. i know why, just wanna know when haha

[@Namz011]

[@lukili8462]

[@Chronosome98]

What is the purpose of all that extra movement in the beginning? Like, walking back and forth before talking to your rival?

[@LaneyStudios5]

He's manipulating the RNG, if he does a certain amount of steps he can guarantee he will get the right kind of Piplup, with the right stats and nature

It has the best amount of match ups on average, he doesn't have to go out of his way to get a Pokemon that can surf and waterfall, he has attacks that can attack both enemy Pokemon in double battles, all this saves precious time
