I think "no TASing" should be added. The final time should be real-time, not in-game time, to prevent soft resetting and/or TASing. Colosseum and XD should be considered for speedrunning as well.

BTW, what are the exact completion points for each game? FR/LG are separate, so I assume Sevii counts toward the final time for them. What about the Battle Frontier in E/Pt/HG/SS?

It's basically when you enter the Hall Of Fame (Defeat the Elite Four)
You can carry on Post-storyline past the Elite four (Sevii Islands, Battle Frontier Ect.) which is an optional choice.

Also, can you explain what 'TASing' is please?

And about Colosseum and XD, I might add them once people start to sign-up for the Challenge.
I may also add Spin-Off games (MD, Ranger ect.)

TAS stands for Tool-Assisted Speedrun. It basically means a speedrun that uses savestates to finish the game faster from the view of the in-game timer. In the case of Pokémon, this means catching a mon on the first Poké Ball, getting critical hits when you need them to OHKO, or anything else that needs luck-manipulation. An example TAS of Sapphire can be found here.

I just realized that the OP isn't participating, which is against the rules. :( I won't lock this, I'll let just this one thread slide, but next time you make a challenge, just remember you have to participate. Now, if you'd like to go ahead and sign yourself up on this one...

I know, I was waiting for a few people to actually sign-up before I actually signed myself up.
I wasn't aware that I had to sign up either :nervous:.



Edit: I'll actually sign myself up now
