It was stupidity on my part.  I forgot to use my last rare candy, I let myself run out of healing items because I was trying to make up for lost time earlier.  (I died in rock tunnel, but decided to go for it anyway because it only cost me about a minute, and I had gotten past the surge point, although the raichu battle was kinda sloppy.)  I accidentally went to erika's gym and fought a trainer before I realized that I wanted to go to cinnibar first.  (I didn't realize how much pressure the fact of recording puts on you =P) I used bite when I should have used blizzard, and gyrados had like 2 HP left and was able to thrash me to death.  All stuff that is completely avoidable, and I just made one of those silly, it's four AM and I should have been in bed 3 hours ago mistakes

We'll give it another go tonight.


And your using the strategy, correct?

Not the E4R2 strategy yet.  Just the basic get to the end credits as fast as possible strat.  The blastoise alone one.

Awesome time. I look forward to the run. How many minutes of mistakes do you think you made?

I look forward to seeing how things changed from the G/R/B games to this (Graphics and Audio for example)...

I'm not sure, honestly.  I had, not a mistake per se, but a hell of a time in Surge's gym with the trash cans.  Like 6 tries!  Fought 3 accidental, unnecessary battles.  Somehow messed up the warp tile bit in Sabrina's gym on the way in.  Those are the only major things.  They're made up for, I'd say, by the critical hits at key times, as well as Mega Punch hitting almost every time, and the same for Mega Kick, which has even lower accuracy.  If this was segmented, I'd guess you could sub 2:45 easy, but for what it is, with the randomness and luck, I think this is a very good time, I am pleased overall.

I've only done one SS and that wasn't impressive (Yellow, with Nidoking level 100 lol). Segmenting is much easier (and harder because it has to be perfect lol).

I'm currently using the emulator to work out my exact route for Pokemon Red no glitches segmented. I can definately beat the current run up, but I may have to tweek the route a bit.

I forgot to grab Mega Punch in Mt.Moon so I'm just critting more often here and there to make up for it. =P I'm up to Rock Tunnel now.

Listen, I've got a strat for you to try out for R/B (I don't currently own either anymore.) I'll send the idea to you via PM.

Lol, yeah.  I'm just really excited that I finally get a world record back for a little bit, and this time I'm able to prove it!  I used to have a bunch of the 15 Minute Melee Scores back when Super Smash Bros. Melee first came out, but mostly because people hadn't bothered to do it yet =P

I've already got some ideas of my own, but I'd like some input on the 60 fastest Pokedex entries in Fire Red, for my Elite 4 Round 2 run that I'm about to start...

Everybody loves Hypnotoad!
You can get a lot of entries simply by balling every pokemon you meet.  Weedle and Caterpie's quick evolutions means you can get those entries really quickly.  Some wilds come at higher levels than when they evolve, so you can catch one and rare candy it.  Lastly, all stone evolvers are great, as elemental stones are plentiful in this game.

I'll see about a list later.

Right, stone evolutions are pretty high on my list.  I'd like to avoid fishing and safari pokemon altogether, and I'm reasonably sure that's not going to be terribly difficult.

One thing I'm looking into is seeing whether or not I can exploit the exp share in the fighting dojo.  If I can exp share evolve 5 pokemon (that's one per trainer there) then I get a total of 6 entries (including the freebie hitmon)

Here is my list thus far, for the most part it is in the order that you encounter them in:

Squirtle
Pidgey
Ratatta
Weedle/Kakuna
Caterpie/Metapod
Pikachu
(That's 1/6 th befire brock)

Nidoran Male
Spearow
Magikarp (bought from the man in the pokecenter)
Paras
Geodude
Zubat
Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff
Clefairy/Clefable
Wartortle

(over 1/3 by Misty)

Oddish
Abra? (I'm going to do this single segment, so I'm not sure this one is the best idea)
Ekans
Voltorb
Machop
Onix
Farfetch'd (trade off spearow)
Diglett
Drowzee
Mr. Mime (if I get abra, trade it off.)
(If I get abra and trade it, that's half upon the exit of Rock tunnel)

Raichu
Eevee/somethingeon
Doduo
Gastly/Haunter?
Cubone?
Venonat
Psyduck (surfing)
Tentacool/Tentacruel (surfing)
(around 2/3 here)

Tangela
Likitung (trade tangela)

Fighting Dojo Idea:
Butterfree (exp share evolution)
Beedrill (exp share evolution)
Arbok (exp share evolution)
I need 2 more lower level evolutions for this part...any ideas?
Get the free hitmon

Freebie Lapras
Masterball (I'm hoping to skip getting mewtwo, but we'll see what happens)

Gloom/Vileplume
Growlithe/Arcanine
Ratticate
Koffing
Grimer
Fearow
Machoke
Blastoise
Aerodactyl
Fossil pokemon

I think that covers 60+ The fossils allow me to eliminate the need for Abra/Mr. Mime in a SS run.  Are there any better/different ideas for Pokemon to get available?

...I just have to say good luck on a single segment like that.

EDIT: Pidgeotto evolves at Lvl 16. Pikachu might be a bad idea, like 5% catch rate in Viridian Forest, not to mention viridian forest has a low encounter rate anyways.

Trading sequences are also drawn out, and out of the way often. It's might be faster to just get some ultra balls later on and go to places with pokes in the grass, catch and put an exp share on in the elite four.

Magikarp, Goldeen, and half a dozen others are easily collected by fishing, which might make it worth it since they evolve so early.
