  • Pokemon Emerald but all of the warp/loading zones in the game are RANDOM. Enter a Pokecenter? you might end up in a random house, a gym, or even the Lugia encounter. Can we beat the entirety of Pokemon Emerald if quite literally EVERYTHING is changed?
    Thank you to AtSign, XLuma, and Turtleisaac!

    I know adding one positive comment doesn't help to drown out the negative ones, but especially after one of SmallAnt's most recent community posts, I wanted to take the time to say here that I appreciate you and the content you provide. Both in your challenge videos with him, but also all the ones you do solo! You have a unique style and personality, you're crazy creative (watching grass grow? Wtf?!), and your skill and determination make your content a treat, seeing games that I love beaten in ways I would never think possible. Or just in ways that make me laugh!
    As for the videos with SmallAnt, it's really sad that people take that rivalry as an excuse or cause to throw negativity at you. It's really sad that (even if they don't watch you) they can't see that without you, those videos of SmallAnt's wouldn't be possible! You two play off each other in a fantastic way, and to see either of you stop posting videos would really suck, knowing I'd be losing one of my favorite sources of funny, creative, skill-based content on the platform.
    Anyway, I'm rambling, but I hope this comment helps somehow. Either to add a voice to the collective that appreciates you, or maybe to show a different perspective to someone who doesn't.

      Actually, the game does check that you have badge 6 (required for Fly), because that’s the only badge you can skip and still physically make it all the way to Evergrande. But that’s it, that’s the only badge the badge check there checks. Every other badge is required (directly or indirectly) to use the HMs needed to get to Evergrande.

      The actual reason is that the badge check gate isn't even in any of the maps where you fight the E4 members and thus isn't required to be crossed in this randomizer (unless the champion is behind it). In fact, you can beat the champion alone and win.

    I just finished playing through a randomized map and here's are some tips for anyone else wanting to play this kind of challenge:
    Getting a Abra or any pokemon that knows teleport is HIGHLY recommended. Because its randomized some doors will just lock you into a place where you can't move and effectively ends the run right there unless you have teleport and/or fly. This only happened to two or three of my doors but its a pretty lame way to get a game over.
    At the start if you want to grind your starter your then you can because the starting town is a none randomized zone and your mom will heal your pokemon. Just don't use the doors in the next town and you can get both your pokedex and balls before you start so that your not at the mercy of having to get lucky and find an area that sells or has pokeballs lying around.
    Pick up Zizagoon becomes way more valuable when you don't know where the next pokemart is. I only used one but if you don't want to be constantly out of items then I would recommend using at least that many if not more depending on how many more rules you want to add.
    Once you get fly anytime you need to heal just go to the starting town or anywhere else you know a pokemon center is located.
    Don't get to hung up on gym order unless you have a lot of time to sink into this. By the time I found the first gym I had already found the entire elite four and champion and had beaten all of the rest of the gyms and elite four. I honestly don't think I would have had as much fun with this mod if I stuck to gym order especially since if I did then every gym would have been a sweep since you'll more then likely get access to some really strong pokemon really fast. This made the later gyms and elite four that I found early really challenging and the gyms I found later pretty easy but I also did very little to no grinding.
    Don't be afraid to grab strong pokemon. The likely hood that you'll be running into trainers with pokemon that are way out of your level range is very high so having a few pokemon that are way ahead makes this challenge a lot more playable but also don't just let those pokemon carry you. I found victory road pretty early but I made it a point to only catch one pokemon there and only use it when I needed it and not all of the time and I think that made this challenge a lot more fun then if I just steam rolled everything with my strongest team member every time.
    Make it a point to grab HMs early. I got pretty lucky with HMs but it can be pretty easy to forget how closed off some areas are without them. A lot of rooms are just dead ends without them so at least having them means when you finally do get the badge that goes with it you get a lot more options. I didn't get cut until the very end and it made me very aware of how many items I was missing out on because it took me forever to find the first gym despite cut being the first HM that I found less than a hour into my run.
    Play it be ear but be sure to take advantage of things as they become available. Most areas with important fights I found much earlier then I was ready for so I had to come back to those fights once my pokemon were strong enough but some fights I could edge out because I got a Shuppet/Banette as my first catch which already had will-o-wisp and curse so even if I couldn't win in a head to head fight I was able to wear down my opponents pokemon pretty easily which gave me a lot of exp for weaker pokemon and this also made TMs become more readily available which really helped at times even though I didn't use that many TMs.
