Well, RockShock28, you can start at anytime you want. And in case nobody heard my previous post:
I would prefer if you used the actual game, but if you ABSOLUTELY can't then use the ROM. Seriously, I'd much rather you get it off eBay or something. Anyways, I'm signing you up right now rockshock28. Please post your best times. |

Und ja, ich bin deutsch!^^ Ich glaub nicht, dass du das hier verstehst deswegen uebersetze ich dir's ma!^^ And yes, I'm german!^^ I don't think you'll understand that und that's why I translated it in English (I know... I've changed a bit of the sentence!^^) !^^ |
Im feeling frisky, so I would love to do this! I'm just getting back into the GB/GBC games and am feeling confident. Is it ok if I join?
I would definitely try for a single Squirtle run. He's my favorite Pokemon anyway, so that works out perfectly! ^_^ |
Alright LieutenantUnstable (from now on I'll call you "Lt. Unstable" sorry!) I'm signing you up right now.
Everybody please post your tips and any progress you have made so far! I am very happy that so many people are signing up! We can beat this record! |
I'd love to give it a shot. Something that I would advise is: try to get pokemon that can learn 4 strong moves of useful types. For example, Lapras can learn Surf, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Psychic. I would want to start with Charmander, but that makes the beginning of the game really hard. It seems though that the entire game is very beatable with a Lapras that knows the above moveset, a Charizard with Earthquake, Flamethrower, Strength, and Cut, and a Pidgeot with Wing Attack or Fly. If you only use these three pokemon, you shouldn't have to get any HM *****s. So, you basically only need one pokeball to beat the game, as Lapras is an event pokemon. This means you can save up/sell things to get more potions and repels, which are going to be very important to reduce wild pokemon encounters. If there was only a way to get past the beginning of the game easily.

I have a tip which I think would speed things up. Go to OPTIONS and switch BATTLE ANIMATION to OFF. In my opinion, it saves time in the long run! I'm excited about this. I'm going to start my run sometime tomorrow evening, when I know I'll be able to sit down without distractions. =D |

I played through my first hour just now. Strangely enough, I got past Brock no problem. Something like 20 minutes. But then I slowed down for some reason, whether it being the length of Mt. Moon + wild encounters + lots of trainer battles or not. Anyways, I got to Cerulean, beat Rival, visited Bill, and then skipped the 2nd Gym. I figure that I'm going to have to be in Cerulean again when I get my bike, might as well make it easier on myself. So I skipped ahead to the SS Anne. I beat that and got cut, and now I'm right outside of the 3rd gym with a level 25 Charmeleon that knows Dig. The hardest part should be finding the right switches. So, although I only have 1 badge right now, I'm really close to two more, and since Charmeleon is getting to the point that he can 1 hit a few things, I'm thinking its going to get a whole bunch easier from here. |
Sorry myrrham. I'll sign you up now. You sound like you know what you're doing, and I can't wait to see more from you. If I may make a suggestion though:
Get a Haunter for your team. They are very good and can learn Grass and Electric type moves. Also throw in a Poison move in there and you should have: Mega Drain Thunderbolt Sludge Night Shade Good luck to you all! |
Tom,
Should I replace my Lapras with a Haunter? It seems to me that I would have to train it too much, and since we can't use the Missingno glitch, both Lapras and Haunter can't have thunderbolt on them. And plus, if I have a Haunter, that just means that much more experience that my two other pokemon don't get. I looked over the gym list and elite four list, and it looks like almost every pokemon is weak to electric, water, psychic, ice, fire, or ground. I don't know guys, do you really think haunter is necessary? Edit: I got bored today, but didn't want to go on yet in my speed run. So, I decided that I would do some planning for the future. I tried to find a giant world map, but couldn't so I went to serebii and downloaded all the maps individually. I combined them into one giant world map, and drew on it the path I would be taking. I now know exactly which trainers I would be fightiing (ones that I have a type advantage on and can hopefully one hit), which items to pick up, every exact step i need to take. I think this would be a good idea for all of us, to try to familiarize ourselves more with the game. For instance, I always be sure to take two steps off the path in viridian city to grab the hidden potion. |
I offer the best of luck to you all! I would attempt it but I don't have the games except when I randomly get the ROM's but even then I wouldn't be able to do it that quick as I love my training and such. Also I get distracted from the games easily
|
myrrham, I'm not neccessarily saying you should replace Lapras with Haunter. I wasn't suggesting that at all! But I think it would be a nice last resort. Also, it might help with Agatha.
|
Haunter doesn't get any good poison moves (only Toxic I think, and that's nothing for speed runs... Actually it's nothing for something offensive like Haunter at all), but Psychic would be a good option for it, since with Haunter's already good Special and the overpoweredness of the Psychic-type in these games, things should be easy.
|
Alright, my neighbor didn't have the game. I'm just on pause until I can get my hands on a game.
Sorry all!! |
I'm going to be taking a short break from the speed run. I'm doing a water mono type challenge in all the games, so i thought if I'm going to have a perfect speed run of blue, I would need to know exactly which trainers to battle. So, I'm doing the blue water mono challenge, and I'm going to look out for trainers to avoid, or ones that use Pokemon that I can easily beat. But, I'm doing the mono run on an emulator, so I'll be done tomorrow or so.
|
Okay, I wish you all the best of luck! I won't be checking in again until Tuesday. For more information go to my profile.
|
Seems interesting! I want to be an Alpha fan, but I don't have Red or Blue version, a friend of mine has Yellow version, does that count? I will borrow his Gameboy and Pokémon Yellow, if I can. Well, that's pretty much all.
|
mmmmkay, done with my mono blue run. Now that I'm familiar with the map, I should be back on the Alpha Team in the morning. The map that I made is now complete with a list of every trainer I will be fighting, along with their pokemon. So now, I know when I can get away with only using a Potion instead of going to the Pokecenter. Am I going insane with this? You bet! Will this help us get the record? I hope so!!
|
Lance, he has cool hair; no unevolved pokemon; Gyrados which does get hit super effective by dragon.
All in all, Lance is pwnpwn |
I have a question. Did the boy currently holding the record set that record using an emulator or a gameboy? Cause the VisualBoy Advance's speed-up button is ridiculously fast for GBC games. That might be what got him to beat the game so quickly.

Oh, if emulators aren't allowed then I can't participate in this.
Ah well, good luck all! |
Can anyone please help me with my problem?
|
I'd like to throw my hat in the ring...is Pokemon Yellow acceptable, or R/B only? (I'll bookmark this topic, and check it later. I have blue too, so...)
If Yellow, I'm in. @ Synaesthesia: The speed-up option would also speed up the in-game time, making such a thing irrelevant. |
I'm pretty sure that you can't do yellow. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can't.

EVERYBODY HOLD ON!!!
I'm back. From WDW. Epic Win for "it's a small world" ride. Tea Cups were good too, but the voice on the ride sounded nothing like Alice. The point is... I'M BACK!! So hold your horses and I'll answer your questions one at a time. Darkmartio: In all technicality Yellow IS okay, but I prefer red or blue, because there are more events in Yellow, which will slow you down. Nikorasu: I have no Idea what you are talking about. I think you should make sure this is the thread you wanted. Myrrham: Thank you for answering the person above you(I don't have time to copy and paste the name) But the world record was not beat in emulator. But... Synaesthesia: (there we go!) You CAN BY ALL MEANS USE AN EMULATOR!! I don't want you to, but if you absolutely have no other options, then that is fine by me. Since I am assuming you've disregarded this thread, I will be sure to notify you on your account. SpawnHyuuga: Thank you for sharing your logic about the speed up. I was about to say the same thing. Since you've recquisitioned so nicely to use Yellow, I will allow it. But once more I prefer that all participants use Red/Blue for GameBoy. I do not wish for there to be Emulators, but once more if you've tried all other options you may. Thank you all for your grandiose interest. If you wish to participate please say so. I look forward to beating this record with all of you! With all regards, -ChrisTom |
