Also, when speedrunning a game like pokemon, there's a lot of opportunity to improve the run.Ī. It's mostly resetting, but having the satisfaction of completing a good run is worth it. However, the beauty of it is to test your patience and ability to think in situations that you never thought could happen before. Pokemon Speedrunning in general, requires a lot of luck. Why do you keep playing when you keep getting bad luck?Ī. There's a lot of places where RNG can ruin your run. So when I say "I'm getting bad RNG" that means the RNG is giving me a situation that hinders my ability to go fast."Good" RNG does the opposite and enhances my ability to go fast in a speedrun.
The technical term is really Pseudo-Random Number Generator and it's an algorithm program used to create many events in a game. There's not an explanation as to why this happens.Īlso, I might be bonking because I'm terrible at movement. This only happens when you exit a "fade-out" transition like entering or exiting buildings, after a Pokemon battle and after dialogue from NPC's. In Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and Fire-red/Leaf-Green versions, it is actually faster to bonk into a wall or NPC and turn then to turn normally. Why do you keep running into walls/people?Ī. Trainers that move randomly by "spinning" around in different directions. I also teach HM's to Mudkip such as Strength, Surf and Dive.Ī. Rayquaza: Last Pokemon I catch, so I can teach Waterfall and beat the rest of the game. Here's a list of pokemon I need other then Mudkip:Ĭastform: Can't use HM's, but a useful doubles partner. I catch other pokemon to access parts of the game by teaching them HM moves. Mudkip is sort of the middle ground in the beginning, but faster in the long run.Ī. Treecko is the fastest starter to get to the 1st gym leader, but that's it. Mudkip can learn surf, strength and dive and trying to catch an extra poke wastes time. Mudkip is the fastest of the three starters to get a good run going. Natures can hinder and enhance certain stats on your pokemon.Ī. Why do you reset without even looking at your stats?Ī. I need at least 13 Attack, 11 Special Attack and 9 Speed. At other points of the run, I could die or hit too many spinners that can ruin a good run.Ī. In the beginning of the speedrun I need to require good stats on Mudkip to get a good run. Google it and you can know more about it.Ī.
