Have you ever speedrun?

    We know the speedrun community in Pokemon is definitely massive. Have you ever speedrun a Pokemon game before? Why, or why not? If so, what games have you tried speedrunning? Have you ever held any Pokemon speedrunning records?
     
    I've never done a speedrun in a Pokémon game before, mostly because I tried doing a speedrun in another game before and I just didn't enjoy doing it, and so I haven't tried doing it in any other game since. Speedruns aren't really my thing.
     
    It might be fun to try a speedrun with glitching, but doing a whole run collecting all the badges and pretty much just using one over-leveled Pokemon throughout the whole run would be a bit much for me.
     
    It looks kinda interesting, but if I were to speedrun a game I would rather do it for one I have more control over the events of.

    It would feel awful to make it to the end of the run and lose because I just get unlucky.
     
    I didn't do a speedrun like those who try for the records, however, I did do it in an attempt to finish my pokedex. Emerald running less than 7 game hours to Finish E4, to get my a Latias (which took another 7 game hours to catch as I didn't have a master ball used on Rayquaza), only to discover I could've just gotten it in Omega Ruby.... However, I didn't realize I didn't have a Kyogre so not a complete waste.

    Then I realized after clearing white and White 2 I left some pokemon on HeartGold and SoulSilver I had wanted to carry into the new world. So I "Sped" through white which took me less than 10 game hours.

    Both runs took me about 2 days, with the exception of Emerald as catching Latias for my Dex took me an extra 2 days. She was not nice at all.
