Pokémon LeafGreen and FireRed are the first remakes in the Pokémon franchise. The games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, Pokémon Red, Blue and Green Versions. The remakes feature the characters, plot elements, and challenges from the originals, along with several updates introduced in Generation 3. For speedrunning purposes, Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are considered to be the same category. Any% Glitchless means that you beat the game as fast as possible, without using glitches. Blastoise is the Pokemon that is used for this speedrun.

The starter manip is quite difficult. First you have to choose the Squirtle you are going for. The game runs at 60 fps and a new Squirtle exists every frame. Then you have to track NPC movement because this alters the RNG. Then, when selecting Squirtle you have to hit a 1/60 frame which is 16,67 milliseconds.

Now I understand better, and realize how much you @Gunnermaniac and Pokeguy are so much talented ! I would have two questions : - How many runs did you have to get this excellent RNG all along this run to Lorelei ? Because we watch on the timer that you can still save 1 minute that you lost on Lorelei RNG, so is that realizable from your opinion ? - Why Leafgreen version over Firered ? You did not explain that during your video. Congratulations, and what a show ! THIS IS E-SPORT ! :)

@darreldorigatti862 2 жыл бұрын

Idea: Does the dept store sell PP Ups? Probably not but my thought process is youve seemed very concerned with the amount of moves youd have available during your splits. Things like megakick and pulse mostly. Since shopping there is part of your strat anyway an extra pickup can make you "safer" on long splits. You would hate to kill an awesome run by the simple die rolls making you miss kick 1 too many times. If there isnt one in the dept store look up hidden tiles. You seem really good at memorizing hidden tiles for candies, ethers, antidotes, and restore. Memorize a couple of good spots not too far from your route. Could make the difference.

@tiemen9095 3 жыл бұрын

I think you did good decision making in the first part of the run, combined with good luck, to get way ahead. Towards the end a finger slip cost you some time, and - in hindside - a few decisions were suboptimal. But you managed to play it quite safe and pull home the WR anyway, despite the pressure you start to feel and the frustration from the mistakes you start to make. I think you can be happy with this run, but I understand you are not completely satisfied.

Congrats on the run! Also why is nidoking slow in leaf green fire red

@jamham9000 3 жыл бұрын

The gen 3 remakes are a lot more polished than the original generation, so the AI is a lot different. Also, Nidoking's moveset was changed. Furthermore, (don't think I said that to make me look smart, I just didn't want to say "also" a second time) the "Special" stat was switched to "Special defense" and "Special attack." Another reason is a lot of the moves used in the speedrun are harder to get in the remakes. Gen 1 Nidoking uses ice beam by giving the girl at the top of Celadon department store a drink (can't remember which one), and the same goes rock slide, and Surge gives shockwave instead of thunderbolt. The "X Accuracy" item was changed. In gen 1, it turned all moves to infinite accuracy, but in gen 2 and onwards, that was fixed, making horn drill less viable. Gunner or Bulbapedia could probably tell you more though. Edit: I hope you meant "slow for the speedrun" and not "why does he have a bad speed stat," because if it was about his stat, I just wasted my time.

Nidoking is generally terrible for the speedrun compared to gen 1, but the obvious reason is because by the time you can catch a level 6 Nidoran on route 3 (much later than gen 1) you already pretty much have a Wartortle.
