    I’ve been waiting for nearly 3 years for this game to finally get its flowers. This was a FANTASTIC overview of the run. You really nailed down why it’s so interesting and why it has limitless potential. Thanks for covering the run and covering me with it ^~^

      this was true back in the early 2010s when vgc was much less well known. nowadays it is VERY difficult to get to the highest level because a lot of players who got their start then are still around, and the playerbase is far, far bigger

    I think we can all agree this is the best pokemon game on the switch, trying something in the franchise giving fans a breath of fresh air as before this the games were starting to feel quite stale and repetitive.

      It’s also the Let’s Go of Pokémon Snap. Where instead of blending Pokémon Go mechanics into Core gameplay, they blended New Pokémon Snap.
      Your Dex requires multiple passes on the same Pokémon and observing different behaviors from them. You have a home base you return to, between semi-open areas where you can point and click with gravity mechanics to interact with the overworld, with each area in the game is overseen by a large glowing Pokémon.

      They I would rather have it with gameplay around gen 4/5 and never changing than having it get intentionally worse every gen.

      So, I am doing a shiny pokemon only playthrough, on my main account, with the goal of *fully* completing the pokedex (shiny locked legends can be hunted for in BDSP, iirc) and I don't know why I'm telling you this.

    I think the real barrier for this speedrun is cutscenes, cutscenes, cutscenes...

      Pretty sure cutscenes are all skippable in this! Dialogue though is another story. 😂

    I remembered trying to speedrun Legends in an attempt to obtain multiple Arceus’
    Got myself a living form dex in my main save that I could move it to and from each new Arceus’ save to speed things along in the long run
    But I ended up figuring out that Speedrunning Shining Pearl to be much easier (even if I need to catch Palkia and unlock National dex every save to be able to catch Arceus)

    Now go run Low Percent where you need to acquire as few items as possible. Fewer items means getting fewer balls, so you're stuck grinding out as few Pokemon as possible to grind up those points.

    Well, I know what I'm doing when I go for my second enamorous for my living dex. A failed speedrun is quicker than how I played. I burnt out so badly on my first playthrough finishing the dex 😭

    totally didn't know you could stun lock wild Pokemon with just a well timed ball. Here I was complaining about how imprecise the item stun mechanics are on aggressive mons and you could just do this all along? Really wish I'd have known this sooner because it would've made my runs so much more enjoyable
