Project Alpha Fan [USERS NEEDED]

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!
 
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!
 
Call me Auto, lol. I'm talking to him tonight so I'll let you know ASAP
 
You can count me in. When do we start?
Never mind, I don't own it, I was going to ROM it.

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.

I'm not sure but Red does have the same problem like G/S/C, doesn't it?^^ Well, it was long ago that I played my original Red since it's not working...^^ But would it be oky if we'd use Blue (it's still working, I suppose...)

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.

Thanks~! And thats cool...I like Lt. Unstable!

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

Yeah, this is really important. Also, while you're at it, you might as well turn text speed to fast. Every slightest bit helps.

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
 
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.
