My guy killed a speedrun category and had the calmest reaction ever. Anyway, it don't really follow Pokemon speedrunning but huge congrats on the new world record!
Honestly, I think it's built into speed runners to never be truly satisfied with their records. One of my fave speed runs starts like "this is the current world record, it's a pretty decent run."
This cathegory can be called completely optimized since years now. The WR race got really tight with only seconds being in between the runners. But this guy just obliterates the previous WR by over a min. No more words...
I don't think people realize how insane this run. Its not just the best run in Pokemon, its one of the best speedruns of any game, period. Pokemon Red is a 30 year old game at this point, its been optimized. To even get a chance at beating this youd have to play perfectly and probably reset 10k times just to get a single WR pace run
Awesome, the route has changed since I last followed the pokemon speedrun. It was very interesting to watch. Even Lorelei is impressed "You're better than I thought!" at 1:36:38 🙂😄
@PokeGuy: Are you working on a commentary video? Would be great to hear how you got: - 12 and 13 second timesaves on Nidoran and Brock - how you were feeling at various points of the run Amazing achievement, well deserved!
Why his attacks seems to never miss? He taked a lot of risks but, because they never seems to fail, it was ok. Its just luck or hes using some legal but not mentioned tool? Does he know when a attack will fail? Rarely, in 1:05:15 he used Poke Flute by apparentrly no reason, why didnt he used Horn Drill in that time?
He use PokeFlute for taking damage by Hydro Pump for be on Red Bar and he never miss Horn Drill because in Gen 1 you only need 1 x Accuracy for 100% precision ^^
@@Saddler46 ive asked elsewhere and someone told me that in red some animations are skiped. Its for that, right? Can you tell me more? And wow, I didnt though that only 1 XA would do that.
@@REALTachikomaia When a Pokemon has a red health bar there is a constant noise being played which prevents the cry sound of a Pokemon entering the battle being played. The noise of the red bar is shorter than the cry of the Pokemon thus shortening the fight and saving 1-2 seconds each time. ^^
Red bar also enables you to skip level up sound to make it faster as well. The entire run is optimized to use red bar whenever possible for this reason.
@@JD-re3cj I don’t really know.

Saving and hard resetting the console sets RNG values to a predictable point. Setups essentially involve saving on a specific tile and following the same set of actions after a hard reset to get desired results. The "core" manips for Red/Blue are a L4 NidoranM manip, a Mt.

If a GB classic game is in a GB colour and GBA, then colours get added to the game according to a guessed colour palette. Holding down arrows during startup swaps the pallette (in this case, from reds to blues)
Horn Drill always kills the opponent. In exchange, it's inaccurate (30 % chance of it working), and doesn't work at all if your Pokémon is slower than the enemy. But using X Accuracy makes your attacks always hit and using X Speed makes your Pokémon faster than the enemy, thus bypassing these checks.
I watched the VOD of this run a few times on twitch because I wanted to listen to the commentary, but now that VOD is not available. Can you please make it available again or upload the run with the commentary on YT?
Can someone explain me the bird swap in the end of the game? Why did he/you do it? I'm not into Speed Running at all, just curious after I found this incredible video.
For the beginning part of the game he uses RNG manipulation strategies to avoid unwanted encounters (you can tell when he's doing this because he has to restart the game before doing it). After around the second badge he can get repels and just use those to avoid wild encounters.
Here 42:33. TM 28 is move Dig When used inside of a cave or certain buildings, the player is transported to the last Pokémon Center they healed at. No Badge is required to use this move outside of battle.

At the end it shows you all the pokemon you used to win. By putting pidgey away on the PC, he saved 15 seconds.
How did Horn Drill hit every time? And why were there like no wild encounters?
X Accuracy, and having mapped out a route before hand that doesn't have extra wild Pokémon on it (you can see he has to press A a bunch to delay)
For the beginning part of the game he uses RNG manipulation strategies to avoid unwanted encounters (you can tell when he's doing this because he has to restart the game before doing it). After around the second badge he can get repels and just use those to avoid wild encounters.
