Pokémon Black Any% Speedrun in

Same story as my previous PB, an exceptional run with a horrendous ending. Happy with this for now though, this would be a tough run to beat. Mostly happy I got a run in with all the latest strats (yay for Plasma Skip!).

[@bugg5805]

Bro how is this world record only got under 1000 views this is insane

[@jacksonbrown8920]

Gotta get this thing over 1000. I'll watch 6 more times😂😂😂

[@bricemckeel255]

Lots of silence/dead air, minimal commentary. You can’t commentate every run obviously but for milestones you wanna put a commentary version out so that noobs can follow along.

[@scoagogo]

@@bricemckeel255 yep, quite difficult to commentate over every single run especially after playing the earlygame so frequently

[@Doschy]

​@@scoagogo you dont have a chat to talk to? If not just literally talk about what you are going to do for the upcoming fights etc :)

[@scoagogo]

@@Doschy I do yeah, but that just depends on activity. But again it gets very repetitive to talk about the 1st gym leader fight for the 20th time that week lol

[@Cosmolax]

No shot!!!! GGs man. Incredible run

[@ariallen675]

Absolutely killer run, GG

[@alw0365]

[@terrorwolf5592]

what are the stats, nature and ability on lillipup

[@lateamdulabo]

my favorite game

[@Addicted2Electronics]

Really good shit. I'd love to attempt this myself, it's just a matter of learning those tricks that you've done.

[@darthmaul7434]

And lots, lots of practice.

[@miguelguindos]

omg that Plasma Skip was elegant, for how long was that theorized? I didnt know about it

[@scoagogo]

Plasma skip has been theorised for years now, maybe 2019 people started thinking about it?

[@InvisibleHole]

🐐

[@wadut7261]

Ok so I know close to nothing about pokemon speedruns but I got interested today and I am curious: Is this considered a category killing run?

[@tteeggaann]

😃no

[@scoagogo]

Nah, had I not died to N 5 then maybe? But that death cost 45-50s so theres still plenty of room for improvement!

[@ZyrenV]

legend

[@waylin6161]

Team plasma appeared earlier here than in the anime

[@doggo7078]

Now you just need to catch a lvl 23 Foongus (ez), make it reach level 24 with rare candy so that it learns Sweet Scent, reset the clouds and skip the remaining members of Plasma Team of Chargestone Cave, and then get Sub 3:00m run

[@BenFM]

Unfortunate with the carracosta. Great run though

[@MrStephonzo]

After gen 5 it went all down hill gen 7 is so boring and everyone after take the worst elements from it and make it main focus it’s so off putting

[@justinhamilton8647]

I put 1000h in X and 2h in Sun😂 what a handholdy crap game. Gen 7 destroyed this franchise and the switch gens put the last nail in the coffin

[@kylecorrales9962]

Its a real shame oshawott's final evo sucks so bad. Honestly osha and dewott are two really great starters. Dewott might be one of the best middle stages and then samurott comes in and fails the whole line spectacularly

[@waylin6161]

Team plasma get more role here than the anime

[@george6972]

Is it possible to do elite four round 2 in either BW or BW2 (like Platinum and FRLG) or are the levels too high?

[@chrisricohermoso7117]

Yes you can rematch the unova league. Higher level mons and they also have new team members

[@chrisricohermoso7117]

Shauntal has Sableye, Grimsley has Honchkrow, Caitlin has Metagross and Marshal has Breloom

[@george6972]

​@@chrisricohermoso7117 I meant speedrun. Because there is no category in either game like in Platinum and FRLG. Maybe the elite 4 have too high leveled pokemon for stoutland to handle.

[@scoagogo]

E4R2 categories only really exist if there's additional requirements to unlocking the second round, so in FRLG you need 60 pokes and do Sevii Islands quests. In Plat you need to see all Sinnoh pokes and then complete the Stark Mountain sidequest. In Gen 5 you just go straight back and its unlocked.

[@00lililili64]

think it could be faster than White 2 with Plasma skip

[@scoagogo]

Absolutely yeah, both games can go a bit lower, would be interesting to see which can go lowest with everything we know now!

[@PopcornMax179]

Is there a reason it feels like Black/White 1 is the least popular for soeedrunners?

[@jeamsis]

Yes. From what I’ve heard, RNG works a bit different in these games which can make figuring out how to manipulate it more difficult/time consuming. Any other reasons I am unaware of

[@waylin6161]

In the anime ash fought all three

[@mcslimy1204]

this game really that long??? damn

[@waylin6161]

I like the pirate team plasma better

[@MrStephonzo]

Why waste a sec choosing the girl is she faster?

[@scoagogo]

The speed is about the same, but it doesn't lose any time to choose her. The "Creating save data" text always goes away at the same point, so any decisions you make before that in the intro don't lose any time.

[@xdudeslimy6293]

Why choose her instead of the boy? Does it make the run faster
