    Can someone explain to me what a Leader Run is? I was watching a few LPs on YouTube when I came across a Leader Norman Run. Explanations...?
     
    I've never heard of it, but if I were to guess, it's a challenge playthrough where you only use the same pokemon that said leader (or other NPC for that matter) uses. In the case of Norman, you'd be restricted to using Vigoroth, Slaking, Spinda, and maybe Linoone (I forget his Emerald Team)

    I have heard of other NPC-themed challenge runs though. :P
     
    From what I know, it's where you use your starter for the first gym, then (let's say you are playing Ruby) you catch rock types only after you beat her, then use that team for the next gym. Then, you catch all new types after you beat that gym, to match the types that that gym uses, and so on. It is something competive players love, because at the end, you have boxes full of well-rounded types, rather than a level 100 Swampert.
