Welcome to Project Alpha Fan, the most intense, complicated, and epic challenge in the history of Pokecommunity.

We are going to break the Guiness World Record for the completion of Pokemon Red/Blue.

For this you need the upmost efficiency.

People, fans, lovers of Mr. Tajiri's work, I'm calling upon each and every one of you. You see, a few days ago I came across an interesting peice of Data. The current world record for beating the original Pokemon Red/Blue series is currently 1 hour and 59 minutes. Incredible. I was dumbfounded by this information. This record shows how much effort can be put into the game. Imagine how fast his Pokemon leveled up! I'm sure most of you might have already heard about this, but still you must admit that this is truly amazing.

Now this record is incredible. I'm sure any Pokemon fan would love to see this in action. But why do that, when you can break the record yourself? I'm not saying we should do because we're better. I'm not saying we should do this for a picture in a book. I'm saying that we should do this, because if we all try the Pokecommunity will earn from it.

I'm calling on every Member, Non-Member, Fan, and even the people who hate Pokemon, to try and beat this game as fast as you can. Later we could have themes and threads about how we tried to beat it, even if we didn't. Everybody who participates should have their name on the plaque, because I want everybody who joins to put their tips, their shortcuts, anything that could help the next person on this thread.

I don't think, I know that all of us, as a Pokecommunity can show that we will help the next person. We will find a way, even when it looks like we can't go anywhere else;
WE WILL FIND A WAY!!

This is not impossible! Anything is possible with hard work, cooperation, teammanship, and most importantly friendship. Tell anyone you can to help with this project.

Because if you do, you are truly...


An Alpha Fan.


I would appreciate it if any Moderators would please give me advice on how to accomplish this project. I would like everybody to tell me their ideals on how we can do this.

Best times so far;

SPAWN HYUUGA
has acheived
6 hours and 15 minutes on Pokemon Yellow!

Good advice;

Use a prima guide. This will come in handy during Silph Co.

Squirtle as a Starter provides good type combo against gyms and is good for dragon types.

Skip Diglett's Tunnel

Don't use Flash, you can see the walls of Rock Tunnel without it.

Skip most South East routes. Get to Fuschia from Cycling road and Cinnabar from Pallet Town.

Be simplistic with your Pokemon choices.

Move your most frequently used attack to the front, that way you can press A repeatedly during battle.

Use Lapras. It can learn a wide variety of moves and can destroy almost all of the Elite 4 with the proper moveset.

Turn battle animation off .

Alpha Fan;







Good luck to you all, and remember;

Gotta Catch em' All!



With all regards,

This seems like a fun project for the community to participate in. Especially for those Pokemon Color fan boys around. This is placed in the wrong forum, however, so I'll move it to Pokemon Metal and Color Generation for you.

That's being a bit ambitious. I still can't imagine how it would be done. Where did you get this information from anyway? Because it really sounds like a tool-assisted speed run. That, in my opinion, would make more sense to do. It shows of technical knowledge and strategy without needing quick thinking. And that way the community would actually be able to work together to achieve this.
In saying that, it would be an entirely different type of teamwork to come up with a plan in words. I support this, but I don't see it taking off quickly, and I also can't see the record being broken. Prove me wrong, guys. Rub it in my face.

Jakeyboy, I got this information from the "Guinness Book of World Records". So I'm pretty sure it's official. Also he did not use any speed tool whatsoever. He played the game and defeated the Elite 4 without any cheating device whatsoever.

Now Jakeyboy, are you interested in joining? If so, let me know immediately. I would hope that we can beat this Record as a community A.S.A.P.

Keep in mind that whoever beats the record (1 Hour 59 Minutes) should have the plaques say not only their name, but "Pokecommunity" as well.

I wish you all the best of luck.

Sincerely,

-ChrisTom

Can I just watch? This sounds like a blast, but I spend waaay too much time exploring, catching Pokemon, leveling up, and the ilk. I'd love to see if anyone here could do this, though! The fastest I've ever beating one was 30 hours, in Sapphire.

Well GoldvsRed, I would still like it if you at least tried. I must say that that is impressive though. 30 hours is a lot quicker than I could ever do. I've always found the plots of Ruby and Sapphire to be complicated.

I'd like to try this. I think my neighbor has the games, so I'll see if he will let me borrow them. It took me 18 hours to beat Firered, but I'll try not to dally so long with this game. So, ya I'd like to join.

I might give this a try, though I would be astonished if I managed to finish it even under 5 hours.
I will try this as a Squirtle line solo, since the Bulbasaur line seems to have serious problems with Ghosts and the Charmander line has a lot of problems early on due to type disadvantages, while Blastoise gets EQ and Ice Beam to beat things that might cause problems.

Oh boy, I only read this and I'm feeling over-motivated enough to to this!^^ I'm in! I'm gonna try it when I'm done with my internship report and my brown run (both won't take me that long!^^) !^^ One question: Is the Missingno-Glitch allowed? i don't think I'll need it, though, but it'd be no cheat since it is in-game...

Okay, thanks for taking me!^^ And plz call me Lati...

Yeah, I'm done with my 10 sites-long internship report but the brown poke league takes longer than expected... I'm gonna grind a lot tomorrow so that I can finish this off quick!^^

But I made up my mind on how to get fast through R/B and I found some good things I'd like to share:

-Skip Diglett Tunnel. Training a Diglett is too hard (it doesn't learn very much...), and Flash isn't very useful in R/B/Y (you can see every wall in Rock Tunnel, so I don't think there's a need for Flash)!^^

-Skipping the eastern route of Vermillion will buy some time, too.

-There are two Snoralxes in Kanto (everyone knows that, I guess...) : One at the town with Erika and the game corner (dunno the english name, german is Prismania!^^), the secound one is at the "Fisher Route" southern of Lavender. Forget about the Fisher Route, only own the Prismania Snorlax and go down Cycling road.

-Skip every part around Fuchsia, they are all optional!^^

-Forget about the bird's locations (Power Plant, Seafoam Islands and the part of Victory Road with Moltres)

-The most important HMs are Cut, Strength and Surf, Fly'd be good, too, it can buy us time in several situations. For Cut a Bellsprout would be best, for Fly a Pidgey would be suitable and Blastoise will cover Strength and Surf (they're okay at R/B/Y) !^^

-Maybe a Solo-Run with the starter as a battler all alone...?

-Don't buy the Magikarp (although i do that in every Red or Blue run...) !^^

What do you think about these?

Thanks!^^ I've played red and Blue like 10.000 times when i was a child, I can tell you every little tile and most pokemon locations by the top of the heart!^^ Well, there must be a way we can get more spare time...^^ Maybe a regular playthrough with no skips and 2 or more fighters to figure out a good strategy isn't that bad...^^ Maybe I'm gonna mark a Wolrldmap with skippable areas (Yeah, if I really want to, I can be quite energic!^^)...

Maybe skipping the 2nd Green/Blue battle isn't a bad idea, it's optional!^^

We should figure out the fastest way through Silph Co. !^^ The whole warpers can be confusing, so maybe a really detailled play through Silph would really help us out.

Maybe that seems a little freakish, but we should fugure out the fastest way through every map!^^

And the bicycle should be used very often...

Well, I better stop here, you all should get a chance to share some ideas with us!^^


And don't forget: If a man or a woman yells loud enough, they can do ANYTHING!^^


EDIT: The worldmap is done!^^ These two points are Diglett Tunnel... If you can think of another skipable area, post it and I'll update the worldmap!^^ (Red=Skipable!^^)

I almost have Silph Co.'s map down by ♥, but I always forget where to get the key card.

How did you post that map? It'd be a helpful way to show how to get through Silph Co. quickly.

Wow, everyone is pumped for this.

Good luck to all.
It would be cool for The PokeCommunity to be in the Guiness Book of World Records.
Try hard, and have fun.

Wow! Alot of people are posting one this! This event is turning out way better than expected. Okay Lati I'm editing in your tips right now. Also are you in Germany? I figured because you said that Celadon City is called Prismania in German.

As for Silph Co., I have a copy of the old prima guide. If you can look it up on the internet. You only need to fight 2 people with the exception of Blue and Giovanni. After getting the key card you need to go to the third floor. You will have to fight a scientist, but after that you are all set!

I wish you all the best of luck!

I finally got started now.
As planned, I chose Squirtle, and as planned, I somehow managed to beat that Bulbasaur, this first battle took me longer than expected though. After 2 or 3 more random battles and 2 Pokemon Center visits, I was at Viridian after having finished the Parcel Quest.
In Viridian Forest, I only fought the last trainer with the level 9 Weedle. Beating him was actually quite difficult, since it was equally strong to my level 7 Squirtle and could poison it. On my second attempt, it preferred String Shot, so I could beat it. One Kakuna and one Pokemon Center visit later, it was time to challenge Brock's underling (I'm needing the Exp). At the end, Squirtle was at level 11 and had 3 HP left.
I used a Potion and challenged Brock. Easily beat him even though he got 2 crits.
Went back to the Pokemon Center, healed and saved.
Currently:
That's not too bad, I hope.

WOW!! Good job Mondayssuck! You're taking real initiative. Btw, 1st badge in 14 MINUTES??? That is insane! I'm really proud of you, keep up the good work! Also at this rate (1 badge per 14 minutes, and assuming elite 4 takes you that long.) you should beat it in....

2 hours and 6 minutes, well under 2 hours and 41 minutes. I'm not expecting that, but it would be pretty good. By the way, if I may post a tip;

Try and move the moves you use the most in the front. That way you can just press A over and over again!

This is AMAZING. I only own Crystal right now though, and an SP without a Charger.
(Well I own a DS too lol, but that's beside the point)

I'd participate if I could but alas...I don't have the game. =/
Now my boyfriend may want to do that, I'll talk to him and if he's up for it I'll post his info using my account unless he decides to make his own (but he's not much of a forum person)
I'll get back to you on it though.

I'm efinitely tracking this though, this is so epic!
I need something epic for my Signature, any suggestions?

Cool AutumnLynxLove! I hope you can persuade your Boyfriend! Keep in mind I would prefer people to use the actual games, not just ROMs. In technicality they're ok, but I'd prefer the actual game, that way it seems more legit.

I continue to wish you all the best of luck!

You can count me in. When do we start?
Never mind, I don't own it, I was going to ROM it.
75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.
