Pokemon Red Any% Glitchless Speedrun in

This is perhaps the greatest Pokemon speedrun of all time. This beats the previous WR in such an optimized category by over 1 minute. Hardly anything went wrong, the biggest thing being no red bar for the final fight. I hardly doubt this gets beaten any time soon, or even at all, unless a new timesave is found.

Slightly deflated - the blizzard miss on the dratini stole 1:43

[@gothia1715]

This cathegory can be called completely optimized since years now. The WR race got really tight with only seconds being in between the runners. But this guy just obliterates the previous WR by over a min. No more words...

[@Schmootzidootz]

Yeaaahhh congratulations!

[@REALTachikomaia]

Why his attacks seems to never miss? He taked a lot of risks but, because they never seems to fail, it was ok. Its just luck or hes using some legal but not mentioned tool? Does he know when a attack will fail? Rarely, in 1:05:15 he used Poke Flute by apparentrly no reason, why didnt he used Horn Drill in that time?

[@Saddler46]

He use PokeFlute for taking damage by Hydro Pump for be on Red Bar and he never miss Horn Drill because in Gen 1 you only need 1 x Accuracy for 100% precision ^^

[@REALTachikomaia]

@@Saddler46 ive asked elsewhere and someone told me that in red some animations are skiped. Its for that, right? Can you tell me more? And wow, I didnt though that only 1 XA would do that.

[@Saddler46]

@@REALTachikomaia When a Pokemon has a red health bar there is a constant noise being played which prevents the cry sound of a Pokemon entering the battle being played. The noise of the red bar is shorter than the cry of the Pokemon thus shortening the fight and saving 1-2 seconds each time. ^^

[@dstreetz91]

Red bar also enables you to skip level up sound to make it faster as well. The entire run is optimized to use red bar whenever possible for this reason.

[@PaulMFDouglas]

Wow. I thought the Red Bar somehow affected your crit chance or something. That's really cool that it's a time save. Thanks

[@IanDevlinPhoto]

[@brianschneller5474]

How did Horn Drill hit every time? And why were there like no wild encounters?

[@jkid1134]

X Accuracy, and having mapped out a route before hand that doesn't have extra wild Pokémon on it (you can see he has to press A a bunch to delay)

[@MikeJones-vk3wz]

For the beginning part of the game he uses RNG manipulation strategies to avoid unwanted encounters (you can tell when he's doing this because he has to restart the game before doing it). After around the second badge he can get repels and just use those to avoid wild encounters.

[@user-th3tv5nc1u]

HOW DID IT suddenly get color/why at around20 mins?

[@NewandForgiven]

If a GB classic game is in a GB colour and GBA, then colours get added to the game according to a guessed colour palette. Holding down arrows during startup swaps the pallette (in this case, from reds to blues)

Can somebody tell what is the biggest new exploit in this newest speedrun to save time?

[@D4NK1]

He realised he could save 6 hours by not trying to solo the whole game with an Onix

[@asmrstates9167]

One change i noticed: He was using Paras to dig back to the bike shop and trigger fast text three times or so. I'm not sure if it is the biggest new exploit.

[@dstreetz91]

@@asmrstates9167Nah, pretty sure that's been used for a long time. The luck in this WR run is just that good though. Probably the 'newest' strat in this run is blizzard over ice beam, but that's been around for a few years at this point to save time.

How does resetting the console save time? I couldnt find it quickly via google and wont be researching for half an hour, so if anyone would be so kind to share the knowledge, I would be thankful.

[@amiramaz]

It's an rng manipulation thing. Resetting and pressing a sequence of keys makes random things in the game deterministic like wild encounters and dvs

does the guy ever do any casual playthrough streams or does he not have the patience or time for that?
