Pokemon Gold Race LIVE at Awesome Games Done Quick 2019! Gunnermaniac vs Pokeguy!

alright looks like the race is ready take it away runners for the pokemon gold glitchless ray ok ok what's up guys gunner maniac here okey gah gonna be doing pokemon gold today we actually have to start our run on a particular second out of the minute so we're gonna go in about 35 seconds here we'll get a countdown on that you guys already hard to reset yeah we already we're all good we're waiting on that for 53 20:55 yep okay 20 seconds yeah it's a little bit awkward with gold cuz you have to do some manipulation right away we had a bad cycle yes it's also gonna be kind of serious for the first couple minutes so the hardest part of the run in the most scary part by far is right away yeah alright so we're getting ready to start here pretty close three two one go so they've already manipulated their trainer ID to be a certain ID that's for later and they're also going to be doing a few manipulations at the start they need to get a totodile with perfect tvs the good stats Phebe's just determine how good the pokemons that is that's zero the 15 to the higher the better so what exactly are they doing with the manipulation so they're hot resetting and bunny hawk resets all the energy values get set to a predictable value and if you play Fame perfectly until a certain event you can manipulate the outcome of that event so they're gonna save and quit right before the total total Pokeball and they're gonna play Fame perfectly until they grab the total and when if it's the total doubts at that right now what exactly are they aiming for this that's famous for 15 attack 13 defense 15 speed and 15 special so perfect outside the defense yeah so way this is gonna be serious time here coming up so we'll definitely need everyone to be quiet for this yeah there's just one frame window at 60 I feel yeah [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay so they both got the Totodile bin good job now we can keep it down this could be another man depending up right away yeah so keep it down guys [Music] okay they're been through the hard part there we go good job guys that's what I mean the hardest parts with a runner right at the beginning it's a theory but now we're on track got past the worst of it the runs not gonna die yeah at the very very least so again they have to do that entire section frame perfectly zero inputs away for what they expect it's very difficult so the idea is that the the RNG starts from the same point after you hard reset the game so as long as you play perfectly you can get a consistent outcome yet but uh and then based off which frame that you start the game on yeah this part of the grass isn't worth doing a hard reset forward to manipulate you could but sometimes you get encounters here sometimes you don't it's not that bad yeah you only get usually one on an average maybe two it worse okay alright so one for Gunnar Polk I could catch up a bit if he gets no encounters on the way down they're also gonna grab the berry from the berry tree here they need that to heal later it's have a worst-case scenario kind of things yeah there's thirst unlock some scenarios where you really need that a lot of times you don't but it's just added safety for almost no cost yeah exactly and then coming up to the rival fight the rival fights kind of awkward he's always gonna lead or almost always gonna lead with growl and if he hits you with it it's pretty bad I poke out no encounters that's really good growl of course lowers your attack and then you're not doing as much damage that's pretty gross to be at sea with it and this Totodile has a bit less HP than the other Totodile that we can manipulate for so if this fight goes standard I and probably get nice ok growl fail good so that's now I'm completely safe nothing nothing can go wrong from here it but with this Totodile you generally have to risk a critical if you don't feel ya ass beat I lost critical actually you're laughs perfect rival fight for Gunnar that's kind of crazy and the few time yep yes there's two pokeman have the same speed just 50/50 who goes first so luckily Gunnar won this beat I there now let's see what happens with Polk I unfortunate so that's gonna add at least one Wow that's Oh double growl at least we don't die now yeah hopefully criticals criticals will ignore that changes so he'll quit the two growls if he does then do a lot of extra damage yes it's kind of safe if the girl happens it just slower or the double growl I should say so we have to be really really careful after we finished that rival fight about our step count because that affects what orange do we get and I'm going to set up another manip after the lab sequence here so no extra steps yeah yeah they're going to do a third manipulation there's also something that happens at the end of the manipulation if they play perfectly and is a pretty difficult frame window they can force a critical on the first turn of the first fate and that will one-hit ko the Pidgey and save two damage as well as save a turn which is really good [Music] [Applause] [Music] so we're gonna set up the manip in the same spot that we did last time the manip is made in such a way that we can use the same pads for this past and the previous path to make it much easier to react to and memorize yeah they have to say no to the catching tutorial first and then walk back unfortunately but it's definitely better that way anyway this is more serious time [Music] you'll notice I'm actually taking the same path as I did last time because I got the same frame but because we're taking a different route like exiting Cherry Grove in a different place I have to change up the ending my pet guys about to start his been them [Music] okay looks like coca is on his now and gunner mess up the critical minute too hard yeah there's quite a few tax boxes you have to click through that's pretty hard naturally Chris at the second turn of course I didn't get those for that pal yeah but Wow oh well so that's why we pick up the berry that's Pete I lost critical would have put me in a really risky situation that with healing items later on but now I have one to spare you also just learned rage which is one of the best moves especially early on in the game while we only have scratches or other attacking move so really useful move to get it's gonna be another manipulation coming up so more pride time yep Oh got a call mom yeah call mom first otherwise she calls you hi mom we should all call our moms [Music] [Music] as the polka is also gonna have to heal here [Music] okay good this new minute Boston forces them to skip the bitter berry which is a big change from older runs because that's a very good thing to have for safety anyway polka is gonna do his banette [Music] Oh messed up against [Music] I don't know what that is try one more time I noticed on I thought I had to take two extra steps if I took two steps earlier but the battle actually resets that though I was not supposed to do that we have time for some donations once he is this for that yeah [Music] just go I don't know I'm just doing okay okay I think he's just gonna take it he's dodge the spinner with him and we can get the better barian card yep okay you got the bitter berry so a couple things to mention really quick he's gonna grab the bitter berry because he missed the manipulation you also know this rage being used on every fight every time you take damage while you're using raids okay good you got no encounters every time you take damage while using rage you will raise your attack by one one stage so raychel progressively start dealing more and more damage something about the bird keeper AI as well as they'll always attacks the rage works out pretty well here because even though they have status news they can't use them so it's really good having a move that plays off of that yeah the worst thing is they missed tackle and then you don't get the rage stock and it takes longer but just delaying it actually a problem yeah so because we picked up the berry and didn't get any criticals or anything I'm completely safe for this Falkner fight with one person yeah other than that we can probably do one or two quick donations as well all right we've got $100 from mighty crow balancing Ohio everyone just had to donate during Gunners and polka guy's race good luck to both of them show us an awesome race oh and if gunner wins I'll do it in another 50 but no progress ooh picking sides we've got $25 from the hello in the audience okay here we go pretty good I'm sorry for butchering that hello I did not go to a bird school which is for birds we've got $1,000 from Cory Fox oh dang thank you for everything you do both GDQ PCF the runners the tech staff the announcers the venue the volunteers and the viewers I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it's all greatly appreciated here's $1 for every Pokemon almost but seriously cancer affects us all and hopefully this is one small step in the right direction stay strong and live long oh and isn't a pokeball awfully similar in shape to something else or were [Music] we've got $500 from anonymous saying had to donate during Pokemon play the game competitively for nearly a decade and met many close friends through and to the stream user twitch prime alright so coming up here they're gonna head back to the Pokemon Center and heal they need this is their work point laters they have to enter the center anyway and they also need to grab the egg to progress the story so we're gonna take the egg after we heal on pokemon center here because it only puts one pokeball in the belt instead up to having the egg in the inventory small a little optimization but it's always weird they make you heal the egg fry even though it's like you can't battle with it you have to get this leg to progressed the story you can't go to the next route without it so it looks like Boca is pretty set for Faulkner should be pretty good from here can you only die to a one in 39 crit and a crit yeah if it happens though okay can't lose now yeah and in world-record attempt so you don't have as many healing items so one critical from the pidgeotto is usually a run ending yeah gunner also grab the paralyzed bearberry there it's gonna be extremely useful for the whole game bumping okay not level eight okay that's good they went aquella something for experience this works out really well for gunner gets his experience here terrain she has a variable stats so it can die in one hit but using rage there for the shorter text yeah it actually doesn't even save time but I like to say I like to stay fresh on my move switches it's the exact same number of frames to switch from scratch to rage to finish something off but for like if you were to switch to water gun to rage water gun has more characters so it is actually faster now because they don't have the I think both of you have the same Totodile as well did either if you get the 13 okay you both of the worst monster yeah so they got the worst of the two tiger dials which will change some of the battles this being one of them with the other Totodile they would use rage here because they'd have a chance that you hit the zoo back but instead they'll have to go for a three shot here and that's the worst thing this new back can do confuse them that's unfortunate not good definitely off to --safe now yeah luckily for polka he does have the better very critical hopefully just snaps here yeah hopefully okay not to that that was that was getting a little scary yeah there is an extra super potion you can pick up though yeah which I'm probably probably gonna pick it up here so we'll see if poke I guess his encounter the fight they do next will deter like be determined by if they get an encounter or not because they need to make up some experience and poke I did get an encounter let's see if it's good enough [Music] unfortunate yeah gonna have to run from that punished got an encounter cuz I picked up a super potion but yeah how it goes you would normally walk up the trainers as well in assembling them walk to you because making trainers walk to you has an animation that's slower but when you're gonna have to walk through the grass or a cave for example to talk to the trainer it's better to just let them come to you that's why they do that for these trainers yeah Gunners gonna stay for the Goldeen despite it's terrifying yeah the better Totodile feet eyes the Goldeen here which can help a lot but um and he might think he's thinking this is a pokemon speedrun why are you fighting an extra trainer but the wild encounter that I killed plus the experience from this Goldeen gives us water gun and we're about to go into union cave where there's a lot of rock pokémon so there's the bitter berry for poke guy it's really nice he had it but kind of unfortunately used it there yeah there's so many places that get confused on the split yeah I think there's like six do bats or something and the Goldeen if you faith it but not really bad unfortunate - - defense really ease it through here okay critical snap come on big guy go wow really lucky for gunner they're okay if you say before a fight and take me a damage that usually means that went very well yeah okay oh good for a thought guy he got the hot pepper fortunately up this hoppip has a one in three chance of using synthesis which will restore its HP alright pretty nice okay good all right so now he can do the Goldeen fight instead of the slower Onix plate um so now this Onix fight if I this is the spinner the first actual spinner were for passing in the run so he spins around if he looks at me I gotta fight him all the old mail yes spinners spin randomly you may have noticed a guy who is rotating the gunner walked past there's two kinds of trainers that spin around there's rotators and spinners the rotators are always in those directions I was lucky he has two frames to hit you there yeah so the rotators are completely free to dodge but the spinners are kind of crazy there's a lot of in-depth mechanics to them so we'll get to see those later so here's the main reason why that goal dienes worth it this guy is three geodude's Oh guys having a very wrong okay okay it's gonna be another manipulator coming up for gunner which guarantees a fan through which is used for cut Wow pretty cool pack come on yeah the goldens several turns faster than the Onix oh it's worth bathing but it's a far scarier Faithie Onix been very rarely kill you so this will be the last manipulation that we do in the run it doubles as getting a cut companion as well as passing a very slow spinner oh my gosh it's really unfortunately had the bitter berries to be had used on the first do but anyway more serious time for Gunners he does this next minute [Music] ow don't please good okay thank God and that's why you say yeah it's really dumb that you have to say for that fight but you just do there's no way around that I wanna give a quick shout outs to enter pictures for finding all of these reputation setups that you see yeah yeah it is so much work to go through all the nonsense behind how the RNG works and finding pods that work on every frame and making them easy for humans to execute and I mean the manipulation I just did in the one coca guy's about to do add so much consistency to the run you pass a spinner that saves or that cost you a whole ton of time and then you get a a Pokemon to used cut with which can be a huge troll poke I got this sand shoe earlier in the cave which means he can catch this and do a different ending to the manipulation later you can also get the encounter in ko it right absolutely right yeah it's the last bin of the dogs it's also one of the scariest spinners in it if I didn't have the super potion I picked up before I would have paid for that guy too and toka guys gonna have to yeah cuz he's been so trolled to encounters already in union caves pretty rough and uh did you kill that one or did you I got this entry I can't thought it yeah there's Pokemon they're useful to ko for experience and Union cave but that is not one of them oh no like I can block here are you gonna so much left I am gonna sell mud flop [Music] you can see water gun though immediately being put to work is with rage this fights like ten turns long it's horrible for Peck I actually meant to buy sixty proportions not five but I picked an extra one up we should be fine okay grab the fool heel for some safety as well that can be used in so many places it's worth buying or grabbing yeah it's super not the ferry it's really slow to pick up actually but too many things can happen you even pick that up on most world record attempts because of how many things can status you in this game and how bad it is when it happens yeah gonna be the last to come up with poke guys though little bit just viewers time again yeah yeah [Applause] you [Music] yes it's on pause quite at the end to guarantee like he already caught the stranger so he didn't eat the watch from the regulation so you pause and just went to the next train of thought in encounter sometimes you'll also opt to get the same true encounter even if you already caught one just for some extra experience but he already got the experience from The Hobbit earlier getting supersonic there can be really scary because then he starts leech lifing and sometimes still he'll an FHP to actually tank another hit if you have a little more experience than your little 15 there then that's not a problem that is the one thing about all these encounter minutes that we don't get to KO things for experience along the way yeah that's like yeah he's gonna have to say for Anthony was too scary oh wow I was a really amazing credible yeah you can't do this fight right now he doesn't have the healing items for it so he just has to save and avoid them okay good did not greet that at least it can get kind of hard walk by some trainers early on because you don't really have the strongest Pokemon yet it's also worth noting that earlier in the run where they fought the Goldeen trainer that experience comes into play later in the run and there are other options that you could use to get that experience it's just better to do - Goldeen because you have the benefit of having water gun for Brussels with 3G oh dude yeah okay really want to get tackle there but you don't usually get a quick attack on turn two is good so now this is a really important turn because if I get confused here on - one defense and start hurting myself a lot and if I get leech life I get an extra rage stack which makes the next is about um favorable to die - one rage so really important turn nice okay that's good there's one that damaged ranges in this game your tax can't vary and how much damage they do based off of just a random role so sometimes you need to hit pretty favorable ones to get some like clutch kills so this new bat for example is a range if you got it 29 and 39 to die yeah so pretty likely but it can still survive sometimes and you'll notice again where they're not talking to some of the trainer's here in the well the encounter chance is really low in the well but it's still just worth it to let the exclamation mark go and just walk fewer tiles to not get an encounter and I know Gunnar has seen three encounters and well before which is extremely unlikely that the encounter transfer tile is 5 out of 256 so Wow I was actually supposed to go before this fight but I forgot I didn't die yeah I'm gonna get on this back though so that was a healeth loco qual which is not something that usually happens at all but I got Daniel to useful criticals and didn't take much damage from the fight that poker guys doing and they usually do a ton of damage to you he got critical by Klickitat very luckily hilt there yeah the Rattata has relatively high attack for the basic Pokemon in this part of the game on top of both of us moves having the same type attack bonus to seize a normal-type pokémon using a normal type move do we have time for some donations it was a good time we've got $100 from the washer 1967 saying greetings from the back couch good luck to gunner and poker guy good luck on beating red and praising the god of Ohio [Music] we've got 250 dollars from the slain man saying hi for pokemon gold oh hey he got $20 from Goro Goro Goro sang tier on mic and Pokemon runs time to open my wallet sending love from the gdq discord thank you this board it's it's interesting to point out the fight that gunner is on you noticed there a set of twins and in gym two when you have twins like that this was before double battling said the twin that you taught two determines which Pokemon that they send out first you intentionally want to talk to the twin on the right so that you send out lady Bob first spinarak has poison steam string shot and scary face and string shot or scary face of course will lower your speed and that will give the lady Bob more chances to use supersonic so it's better to just give the lady by only one shot at supersonic then potentially two or three or more not lady about of the huge troll she'll even use supersonic if you're already confused so if you're trying to heal it off and you can just get confused again is the range that's not good after because this is the damage range I can't kill off the fur Alice okay that's lucky then I have to pick up the other full heel now but that's okay so just as a testament to how great the manip tsar and their rather how difficult they are to there are a total of eleven thinners in this game you face the first five within the past like 32 minutes of the game and you're able to manipulate to oh okay the spinner was stuck there for gunner so he opted not to save cuz he know this that in time that was pretty good yeah had been you though but yeah I just I yield to full and and the center with the spinner was stuck sometimes they get stuck for like eight seconds yeah so I should be fine here to skip the save yes fates extremely unlikely to die on it a lot has to go wrong [Music] it's a good start want our rates to get stacking ideally three from the Metapod it looks like neither runner got well encounters which is nice yeah you could say it went well man oh yeah strap in folks yeah encounters and Gentoo are ridiculous there's like 15 seconds per encounter it's really slow it's gross yeah it's really gross hey gunner is in pretty good shape he didn't get poisoned by the kikuna which is really good he just has to get the cytha range here [Music] good roll yeah it looks promising [Music] good good fight good fight for gunner huh I very much regret not saving I found a situation in my head where I died and I was like our God yeah poisoning this range or something crazy like that yeah well it would have a critical fury cutter and turned two or three plus me missing that range yeah but uh we made it yeah anyway perfect timing to evolve the croc and AH they just got fury cutter and they're gonna want to teach it right away and luckily crocodile can learn it I'm fairly certain Totodile can learn it too but Totodile just doesn't cut the mustard oh yeah not even close the next place probably one of the hardest place in the game of course they're gonna say for it it's terrifying it's mostly the bay leaf but the other two Pokemon are just really annoying and generating as well critical it's just something about early Pokemon games the rival to fight is just awful in all of them but each one has their own variety of awfulness yeah it's usually because they're rivals pretty high level comparatively and balanced if they play them early good theme goodie bath yeah truly a shame that the only move you used in the game that's not a hundred percent accurate you have to use 1/2 of what are arguably the scariest fights in the game yeah yes the fury cutters 95% accurate so it's 1 in 20 the myth hopefully we don't see it but we probably will save save save gonna also swap the leer to the top because it's slightly faster to each fury cutter and slot 1 and we'll teach bite over that - yeah just simple move management that lets you save inputs over the course of the run yep that's good so I don't have a full heal here this ghastly has hypnosis always scary huh all right Wow well it's really good pairs lookin nice he's had a pretty good gym so far he hurt a lady but - so really solid [Music] [Applause] so ideally we create this cosplay saves me a lot of a lot of trouble okay don't don't do it okay okay 30% to paralyze there that would've been my last satisfied them stop stealing item alright so here comes the bay leaf he's hit three fury cutters on it reflected that's very Norfolk okay could okay if he criticals then the ghastly will hurt the ghastly those of you that won't use supersonic so he might see it now yeah Jen to AI if you're alfie is under half turn one cackle Wow Wow no that's dead I'm likely to AI if your HP is under half the AI is significantly discouraged from using status moves and here we got status that was a good water gonna roll though I might be able to shot here but it's ridiculous than any of these Pokemon can use supersonic nother than we have any last emerald by crippled us hurt myself a confusion would have killed me about right yes better just take the safe win on the favorite you can sue profession later okay there's supersonic again this the fight will be over here I'm in a spot where I don't really want to feel for Whitney with my current super freshman count but we'll see after the next byte of fun force leader turned to what I say there's underground wow that was a crazy buzzy wow that's ridiculous and quick attack Wow he usually just fury cutters the whole fight down but sometimes you get that alright well I had a really good gym so hey I caught you good then catching up yeah I was really solid we have time for a couple donations yep we've got $50.00 from Jack's Pharaoh saying though hyoe addq 2019 and twitchchat of course making this quick donation to have this Casbah and twitch thing also wishing the best possible luck to the pokemon gold run we've got $25 pepite 57 saying good luck to my longtime best friend polka guy on his race vs. gunner mania super psyched to see you on the big stage this GDQ keep up the good work Ohio we got $25 from dr. Jana Sangh Pat to donate during Pokemon race cancer sucks vohiyo thanks man alright so once again poke guys got a big menu here he's gotta teach fury cutter he'll equip a berry and then save just because rivals way through sparing and also a reptile oh yeah though so what he has to do in this menu is kind of cool you get to do it all at once get going into the menu in this game is rather slow so it's ideal to do as much as you can each time you may need to minimize the number of times you have to it's not my full Hill burned before I have to pick this one up yeah it's funny I actually have exactly enough propel tiles with picking up her or like tiles what the repel will last for before before it runs out yeah they also have to go without their way in the forest there grab head but it's a very very good move in Gen 2 it's 70 power which is their strongest move it can flinch 30% of the time which means the opponent won't get to attack they're faster 30% of the time and it's just a good move all around because normal typing is pretty good on those things and crocodile is really high octave yeah it's unfortunate in this generation that as well as Jin's 1 and 3 the type of move that whether it's physical or special is based on the type of move that it is so literally all normal type moves will be physical all water type moves will be special nice yeah the best way to delineate between the two is if it has if Eevee has that evolution of that type it was special in gym 1 2 & 3 if Phoebe doesn't have no oh come on okay wow this is still possible I think considerable I walk that whole time without getting an encounter toka is in a bit of a weird situation here yeah I'm probably dead okay I was a critical yeah that's very much feel for Miss I don't know yeah yeah it sucks yeah there's that one in 20 chance the mist and if you miss it a bad time you're usually just dead the bay leaves razor leaf hasn't won in 2010 Stu miss too but somehow that mist is way less often yeah it seems that way [Music] something is about finally getting to goldenrod is they can grab the bike right away which is just great to have for Pokemon runs makes it move in so much faster and the bike shop owner is such a nice guy you don't even have to have a bike voucher or anything he's gonna lend it to you it would the expectation of getting it back but you'll see that you're riding around on it has done so much advertising for the shop he's gonna let you keep it spoiler alert yeah and he also says you can ride it anywhere and you iterally can't write it in this room I mean that may be why his bike shop wasn't doing so it's a good thing were there to help him out false advertising ah man something cool about Gentoo was they introduced the ability to register in a them so you can just press select to get on the bake for the rest of the run which is great because you got the menu every time you want to get on it and arguably the best innovation of all of them in my opinion okay alright poke guys through the bay leaf that's good very good again that's probably one of the scariest place in the game probably like second or third scariest yeah we've got $20 from Vaughn do saying good luck on the race gunner lad and pokey dude can we get the classic gun or yell for Douglas oh god I don't know it's pretty loud our our ears can take it but we will be fine it can't be louder than the cause well if we get to Douglas for it then all right perhaps anyway coming up on a pretty scary fight here for gunner Whitney it's not the bill tank it is definitely the Clefairy Clefairy is metronome which means the Clefairy technically knows every move and you get some crazy combinations with it that just instantly kill you hopefully we don't get to see any of this there's some that kill you slowly shoutouts to storms metronome clamp and to metronome solar beam booth yeah you can't switch if you get clamped and then you just have to sit there and watch the solar bemidji it's awful yeah there's some amazing clips from all the gold runners throughout the years with this Clefairy based fury cutter now for the face it's more consistent than using rage of course that other course a fight where rage would have been good because each one of those doubles flop stocks rage but much less consistent and shin can correct me if I'm wrong on this one but if the Clefairy were to roll a one-hit ko move it would never hit because you're a higher level than it yeah it's pretty fortunate that that's the case because you'd have to worry about some of the noobs that would normally be terrifying whereas dungeon one you had to be faster than the Pokemon that you were using a one-hit ko yes based off a level in every generation past one no this is a little scary oh okay is this one hint here's no fuchsia Oh Oh what are those funky believable yeah so it does one hit never knew and that's the last time they need to use fury cutter and luckily the learning and move that they'll put right over it right now so yeah that's stomp us up 30% chance to flinch just like headbutt and if it flinches it kills all the stalks of fury cutter so you just instantly lose and then I also crit so very close to run ending there and that's why you have to say for this fight there's like 20 reasons you have to say for this fight mm-hmm when when they get the good Totodile from the manip dough you one shot that miltank without the mm-hmm so I think a couple more donations in excellent we've got $25 from toy saying shout out to shenanigans on the cows from the we do raids Mentors longtime viewer first-time donated so it fellas we've got $25 from Mecca mob saying gunner maniac and polka guy want to be the very best like no one ever was secede run games is their real test to break records is their cause okay Mon it is worth noting both that these runners have held the world record at one point or another and gunner currently holds it for this category seconds Kira we've got $100 from Cece saying pokemon gold and silver remains my favorite game of all time only matched by HeartGold and SoulSilver i've been waiting for this all week can't wait so gunner is just doing some side stuff here we're going to be hearing what is arguably the best soundtrack in any video game ever as he goes into the game corner after picking up the K at the point case if you think lucky channels not the best song you're wrong and that's okay but it's also worth it experience wise for him to fight these trainers as that will come into play later on in the run to get edicts wants to be in the a certain level 29 by the end of the lighthouse and the experience from the golden trainer in addition to the experience from these trainers and all the other mandatory trainers is what's going to get him it right 229 if I'm not mistaken he also has to fight them anyway you have to fight them and they made the Adler now that's better for your peepee management later in the game to have them doubt of the way now and you don't actually lose any turns from doing it this way yep just a super effective text that's not a big deal at all and finally he has to go down this way anyway to get the coin case yeah he's going to use the coin case to get Abra and Abra will teleport him at two different points in the run that make it worth getting it then the first one will literally be almost directly after he gets Abra and the other one will be later on in the run once he's in Kanto the normal progression of the game would have you go north where past where he got the spear oh and there are like there's another spinner and three or four mandatory trainers that you have to fight going through that so it's just so much faster to get Abra now crystal will be do that because it's what's known as spinner heck and well it's a different words but I'm trying to keep it safe for the children so crystal would just go through there anyway because they have to go up they have to go through there twice in order to get the sport bottle which I don't know why they added that to crystal but I think they want you like see the blockade it doesn't make sense but they're like yeah I need the squirt bottle for what I don't know is neither yeah I mean you literally have a water-type pokemon you think he could just use water gun to get rid of the studio Widow but you just don't question Pokemon logic you get further and further down the hall and there's more and more inconsistency you just just enjoy the game yeah so here's the coin case gun describing it Ellison purchase the Abra which is just super helpful for the run it might look like I've caught up to gunner of it but I really haven't I'm doing this before Whitney to make the gym quite a bit safer yeah see pokey guy will be 21 for the mill tank which will allow him to one-shot it without the crib yeah it'll change its move order a little bit but that's it's a quick fix to it here we go baby love this song me too you got a jam a little bit yeah yeah that's booty-shaking music right there man always love this menu here it's actually faster to attempt to buy a second abre and have him say no you don't have enough points that it isn't just end the conversation one touch box get on alright so since we're so far ahead here I think we can have a little fun right let's see how we do in the lottery real quick well he was gonna have to stop in here anyway to do what's called a double deposit you're required to get the egg but it's quicker to deposit the eggs than to let it hatch and while he's here he's gonna go ahead and deposit kracken all two because that's gonna heal him to full restores power points and everything and it's like since this is the closest box you might as well try the lottery give it a try because you could win a rare candy if all things go well he could win a master ball which could prove to be helpful later on so we'll see how he does you know in save a little bit of time catching the garroted instead of a poliwag or something huh what of the Spiro perfect match perfect match bastard [Applause] that is never seen that before that's gonna save so much time on the Gyarados you'll just get in the balls great it's awesome I gotta come clean was there some cheating both no cheating but the way it works in this game is the ID that the lottery checks or is set for the whole cartridge the first time you load up a state file so if you start up the stay file on a particular frame you can you can guarantee that you'll win the lottery it's also the timing of the double deposit there is really convenient because it puts his party order as such where this Bureau is in the second flaw and since he'll be using Spiro to fly himself around a lot that saves inputs by just having him in slot 2 and when we got the Whitney fate for Pope guy let's see how this goes again really scary fate hopefully it just goes huh you just don't win this the metronome generally all right that's an interesting he'll definitely one hit two they'll tank now spice by guys would should die oh yeah definitely well interestingly enough in the earlier stages of the run before manip and everything feud before they realized fighting Ralph was such a good idea if you hadn't hit a spinner by this point in the game you would like that sudowoodo and kill it for experience okay yeah this bid he got roll out there he didn't have to worry about the thumb flinch it's a really good Whitney fight yeah and because poker guys did all that underground stuff first he was able to get a one hit on miltank yep even without the crit so that was good and we don't have to worry about accuracy anymore for at least for lumber at all accuracy you can actually get an encounter on that last grass ball but it's not worth we're falling for it that will be the last moment of the run where they could see a wild encounter yep one tile well technically the electrodes are wild encounters but that lets up tell ya we also have Rock Tunnel movement I'm gonna go for the hard one so I might get an encounter there as well okay but the way it works is that when you fight a trainer you get four tiles of encounter immunity but if you turn then it takes one of those tiles and eats it so because turning gives you an encounter chance so you go turn one two three and then there's a fourth grass file so on that one tile you have about a nine point eight percent chance to get a an encounter yeah something else that we might want to mention is we used to shop in the goldenrod mark twice but with this route change we only shop there once and because of that we don't have any X specials they only sell X defends attacks and speeds in the first gym town of viola I was called Thank You violet so they have to kind of change how they would do this gym so they're actually use bait for most of it and it kind of changes up the order of what they're doing said normally you fight the commando girls first and you serve but this actually helps out a lot because a lot more head butts for later for the commander girls as well and serfs when they get all of them yet the turn count ends up being almost exactly the same whether you do come owners first or last for the gym so it's better to do the gym first and then you save head butts on the kimonos and you get better ranges yeah Jolteon is not a security yeah a lot of people don't know you can just get that trainer just figure that little top you have the movements really weird in this gym it's like supposed to be however the trainers are looking but for some reason you go left in that third rail right I have fallen through the floor before okay yes Jill parents may want to cover their children's eyes for this section these haunters first from time to time there's nothing we can do about that I apologize oh I get it I was like what he made the same joke yesterday anything is it done no it was just as bad then can I cover up the shameless person with a donation yes please we've got five hundred dollars from you got this yeah hey what's up Peter hey Peter hey hey guys we got this from PS our egg donor and toga guy best luck on the race cuz you guys got this we love you Peter thanksmas when his two games one controller gold crystal we got to get that figured out man [Music] polka is also winning the lottery believable wow that was a that was a beat I win critical on Haunter oh not the first time seeing two people won the lottery in a game in this village the park [Music] one more donation yes yep we've got twenty dollars from Ashley Umbreon saying how could I not donate to the game that introduced my namesake and of course because I'm a pokemon trainer at heart save the animals we've got $25 from jar Labs saying gold was the second pokemon game I ever played I loved them and I have some fond memories so excited to see this race [Music] okay so this is the Morty fight this first ghastly is the damage range 74 fish percent to die unfortunate a sucks but it's okay I have to switch out here Barr's curse will take 1/4 of your health every turn and it just adds up way too much for the space so you have to switch out to get rid of that condition I could get really unlucky here - yes okay that's not good okay there we go not gonna kill right now or now he'll do it again yeah and nightshade does damage equal to the level of the Pokemon that's using the move so yeah unfortunately none of his Pokemon have less than 21 HP otherwise it'd be a little faster and a P yeah this is a feat I hopefully we flinch again well the app will go down to shadow balls did ya saw which table right here thought that was a super slow fight but pretty soon today's Ashley Umbra I wanted us to save animals we gotta sacrifice two of these don't worry they'll be healed at some point throughout the run they're not gonna stay fainted it's actually one benefit over getting Sentret now that we manipulate first and true is that shut these most of these Pokemon can't hit normal Pokemon so yeah I wouldn't have had the option to do that yet Kenya Kenya can literally just 1v1 all of them except for Gengar yeah [Music] it's really slow but it's yeah that's gonna grab that XP - he's now he's faster than a gengar and can punch it hopefully good it's nice the punch and if you dodge or not that's where you can just chain hypnosis here yeah nice flowers okay good Gengar at least the rest if I was a little bit bad paid up for it there that was arranged to dot a water gun not worth not worth going for yeah I try to taste them super effective text sometimes by using other news yeah super effective text I forgot to mention that is super slow in this game it takes almost a full second and see if you can avoid that you want to try and use other moves to KO stuff rather than seeing the super effective text at the end that was one of the worst 40 fights I've ever had but full-hp don't get them save some time healing after the phase at least [Music] it's still worth getting all of those super effective texts to do early morty because the the kimono girls are just so much better when you're a higher level yeah [Music] also I think the trainer that we skip in Morty's gym is sage Rick I could be wrong but let me Deborah find himself I don't know all right these Pomona girls are a little bit scary you I don't think you want that ko and they have fun hopefully not without a crit nope yeah you can't flinch that which is good yeah lots of laughs a flinch chances here which can be really nice so we used all of that fight from what he's film which is why I had it in spot one but now we're gonna switch into headbutt mode so I'm gonna switch to headbutt to the first slot and to save two inputs every time I go to use it and I already flinched the first once that's good and had he done the kimono girls first it would be using up more head butts yeah it's to get the second shot to kill yeah which is good for the next Jim coming up because yeah we want those two clinches yep looks like polka is coming up on the Morty faith as well hopefully goes a little bit better than Gunnar's plate it's got one more faith to go he got the ring oh he crit the ghastly that's good and those fans attack from the SP on for gunner oh good enough yeah oh and oh boy okay that wasn't that bad that's fine it's kind of crazy after once and attack your 56% to hit with a fool accuracy move it's really unfortunate yeah this game cheats yeah yeah every single one of the kimonos have pockets and yeah only one of them will not use it no but that's because they're trying to kill you with thunder shot yeah this is just as you say this time around is so beefy to I guess like why the chance this the yeah Umbreon it's the only one that you don't 2-shot consistently but it's possible that was a pretty good first roll good maybe look at that double stand oh boy luckily I think it only has tackle for attacking news doesn't it that's one of those the good news the good part of there is that he didn't waste headbutts because and attack all of the head butts hit yeah exactly yeah losing head but pp is a big deal we were limited on it poke ass the seams start to the faith a lot of history at first yeah but mister layers yeah it's pretty unlikely to miss that range in general and then also getting cursed is very unfortunately gonna do this case A's opting to attack the hunter here in first so you can see curves how much percentage of your health it takes it's just a lot I think that might be the first time I've ever gotten sand attack from three of those guys and but not too bad to polka opting to Holly heal when these switches I don't like ya gotta fight that one too just so I didn't have the chance of getting cursed again oh yeah I did that way he only has to switch once rather than twice but he will lose the turn here having the heal are this Jolteon on gunner screens elves they're pretty scary and it's a feat I with us Dakota yeah lost the first one which sucks cuz not there gives the paralyzed bearberry not so bad though yeah I think that was the last chance where you could have lost the paralyzed I made fun of you for pointing that out yesterday here we are yeah okay at least he didn't get double paralyzed that the worst thing that can happen there by far technically could have died there a thought happened yeah exactly he got fully paralyzed at a bad time [Music] can I throw out animation yeah that's fine we've got $20 from anonymous saying finally able to donate after years of watching keep up the awesome work looking forward to Pokemon race hype Wow late Wow triple hypnosis hit yeah he's out of awakenings now so it's kind of unfortunate at least these through the gang gars that by far the scariest part of the fight so just a class sponsor to go I don't live judge anything else that'll put you to sleep during the run to thinking gosh the last one yeah there's the Noctowl and the polygraph well that I was I stand corrected he does have the fool he'll if that happens but you don't want to have to use that a little scary movement here lots of trainers to avoid by one tile yeah the movement at the ends really rewarding when you hit it looks really cool [Music] yeah that right there is always really cool to see just slide in here there's there's a certain level of finesse that you have to have when moving on the bike and gold yeah it's not it's not comparable to the difficulty of like gen3 Smok bike but is still a technique to it yeah it's laggy and to get Ian's not intuitive it's really easy to sit there and turn in place and look around like you heard somebody say something to you check out where where they are at this shop sells a lot of very good items they got super potions super of hells it's really good to just stop here and grab everything you need for the rest of their own separate items of course and conveniently is 1111 super repels is all you need to get through the rest of the game after buying max right right once and then you gotta love him yeah so 11 is the right amount that's right hey you had your warning I said strap in that was the warning so I lost my paralyzed cure berry but I still have two awakenings than a fully also should be completely fine can't do a kind of a cool strat later in the run but well okay if you can keep the paralyzed cure berry for a pretty long time there's some cool stuff you can do with it but unfortunately we'll get to see that least from Donner you got the flinch so it's lunch yeah that snows look at lunch - yeah it's lunch on the SP on there don't hit this guy he's really hard to remember it's interesting the floors are similar enough you go up on one of them and you go down on the others - yeah when you're learning the game it's easy to get those mixed up yeah it's kind of a maze like late house somebody is one headbutt and one surf on these growlithe it's go ahead but that I used on the first one is to save super-effective ducks but I don't actually have enough had but to waste one on saving sweeper effective text it critical for the second one oh wow really good Umbreon trip okay then it's really just any time you don't cease and attack these debates have done as well as they can so you're gonna see Gunnar has one more trainer that he's gonna fight and that's gonna be just enough experience a little bit more to get him to 28:29 excuse me and on his way out of the lighthouse he's gonna pick up a rare candy which will get him to 30 which is when crocodile evolved into Feraligatr the very next fight that he has kracken all just gets wrecked so it's really good to have fur alligator for that fight because for alligators bulkier faster than the two guys that he's gonna have to fight back to back I can hit hard enough to 2-shot yeah and if you remember the Geodude fight that we got extra experience to get water gun for those those two XP marks are linked so getting one gets the other and so it's just overwhelmingly worth it to fight that extra trainer from the beginning in folding so you step that sliver above 29s the numbers work out almost perfectly yeah back in like the older days of gold sometimes he's just really bad act hitting a spinner so you get the experience just not a great pot oh wow that was really bad he'll have to they'll have to pass them twice throughout the course of the run oh I should have switched oh that's a problem I think it's so as quick attack right I'm pretty sure it does I have no more healing items no I need it does yeah please kill me okay okay as tackle focus that's a common sentiment when running this game Oh headlight will actually kill now okay really beefy man ease by that critical come on Jolteon okay not a bunch of Owen Wilson impressions that's browned upon oh my goodness just use use tackle please thank you can't retry this best [Music] everybody type F in this chat for staying true both of their sensors had to be me oh my okay it's ever wow that was the horrible Jolteon fainted [Applause] can I throw in a donation yeah we got $20 from Pikachu 15 saying pika pika Pikachu pika Pikachu pika pika pika I think we got him roll 8 to that yeah that really gnarly deep we've got $25 from Audra's you're saying pokemon was the series but got me into video games during my childhood and then into speedrunning even if money is tight I had to donate to the spread caused and during the straight run good luck to both runners you got this greetings from Japan so this is the seventh spinner that you have to pass okay and you need strength for this next gym as your head but PP is starting to wind down and strength is gonna be useful for the remainder of the run actually yeah and so it's good to just you know kind of a two birds one stone kind of thing you've got a pause before her anyway teach strength while you're paused in front of her if you pause before spinners because it lets you get a feel for where they're looking and generally you can dodge them a lot easier by doing that it basically gives you perfect reaction time begin you freeze them for as long as you freeze yourself so you get time to think about do I want to take this path based on how long it's been since they spun and what the direction that they're currently facing is yeah unless you're a mad lad and you just bliss past them so this would be an amazing punch this guy does a ton of damage this is the fighting knife this is the fight I was mentioning earlier the you have to fight a Hitmonlee and then a Hitmonchan back to back with no moment to pause and deal yeah and crocodile just give bodied yeah it's awful the thing with Crocs nights lower so you don't even have a chance to flinch you have way less defense less hit points which is bad news there were very rare circumstances where you could go into that first fight with croc and all because you could still 2-shot the two shot him and get enough experience to evolve into Feraligatr but that would mean that you had hit so many spinner yeah at the run was awful at that point anyway exactly [Music] okay that he has the ice punch fire punch Thunder punch all can status so yeah how unbunch is slow but better than getting status that's I think the last place we can get paralyzed until of course the Magnum I probably I think there's one other but I'm not gonna say what it is I don't wonder if I could have killed me actually don't know crit Peck can kill but he would also have to use that don't fing marrow I actually had that exact help and a practice run it did the same thing so that's pretty funny actually I think we got time for some donations yeah tell the truck buy it okay excellent we've got $20 from Alex 164 saying looking forward to the pokemon gold okay pokemon has always been one of my favorite franchises so I love seeing these races to pop up in gdq it's been over a decade since I touched my gold version probably don't even know where it is at this point but I remember having a lot of fun playing this when it first came out good luck to the runners and may the rng be with [Music] we've got $10 from Cairo saying the heck do you mean they both got master balls in the lottery also shut up shout out to gunner not even the hour in and he's got four badges tog [Music] it's worth noting there that normally it would be faster if you're going to cut or use strength to just talk to the tree or the boulder that you're going to push but because Gunnar needed to heal there it was worth it to just go ahead and tell Feraligatr to use strength in the menu instead of talking to the rock save some text boxes I think we would all like to talk to the rock at one point or another reason he's such a good actor how do we let this happen I don't know that's why that's why string flow here was on the mic for the first little bit to give you all a little bit of reprieve from me yeah this swath buffer as we call it [Music] but that's not good I was definitely the worst thing that could happen yeah so Chuck's coming up here he's out and this spinner for Pope guy that's pretty rough think that's the first thinner we've seen get us the first ones before and ie a poly world Canyon Galia it's just the poly world that's double slop it or what I've told ya I don't think it can kill you so here's the truck fate it's a little scary because he has dynamic punch which if it hits will confuse you but it's not that likely that you get hit by it so hopefully we don't see it and if I'm not mistaken he's only he's one in three to use it yeah he has four moves but he'll never use surf because it's not very effective it's basically one in six times you get trolled by this fake - hopefully it doesn't happen yeah fine on the poly world at least provoke I didn't matter the parameter range it's a very favorable one but the critical nice all right here's the polygraph [Music] hopefully just the mind-reader my good girl and reader good okay goodness it's only fifty percent accurate so it's not likely that it hits or well it's a coin flip so also arranged to 2-shot so yeah that by can be a huge for all but most of the time it's fine like ah yeah I don't understand why they call that the storm badge with fighting pokémon again it's strange I mean polygraphs a water type so water storm I don't know I can't I can't reconcile I get don't question Pokemon logic you just did enjoy the game I break I will break that rule again before the end of the run a cool mechanic we should probably mention about Jen - and why normal same user as powerful as they are whenever you get a badge from one of the gym leaders that type of move gets a 10% buff to the power so because they've defeated Whitney all normal tight moves are just 10% stronger so it's really nice and the fact that there's only what ghosts brought and steal are the only ones that don't just get hit for neutral damage by normal and and those are few and far between in the few rocks that you do have to deal with in steals you do deserve yes exactly I've done and later on in the run they'll be picking up an item called the pink bow which further increases the amount of damage that abnormal type move will do but is that another 10% what does I thought it was the corny but it might be 10 well I know it's 10 in the later generations it might be 20 in this one I'm not sure yeah it just really buffs the normal tank moves and you get a lot of like these little buffs to on that's unfortunate for Pope guy Kelly's looking up it would be nuts if one of them found a shiny in this run with it now this leg he's getting the master ball from the locker you know like what if the both will happen in one room they'd be crazy okay Gunnar took the took the past there luckily polka I got past Kaylee as well the spinners are kind of the biggest time lost first time game in Gentoo cuz they just lose so much time and you hit them like there's literally only one that's useful and that was the Onyx guy that we mentioned before his name's Daniel and even if you hit him after hitting Ralph the experience is very very helpful yeah okay so this is the pretty much where all the route changes than the lottery idea where we shop yeah oh my goodness it all kind of comes together we catch this biscarrat us with the master ball and use him for Whirlpool and waterfall and that allows us to skip tons of tons of stuff well you don't have to catch poliwag you don't have to do goldenrod Mart to get the Polka doll originally you we would use the Polka doll in this run to evade the Gyarados because running from it doesn't allow you to get the red scale and you need the red scale to progress the story yes nice it all came together to skip that first goldenrod Mart visit because it's really slow going there now granted it would be faster to just chuck a ball at it it's just from full health it's so unlikely for it to get to the ball it's worth the investment of getting the master ball because you're able to do the double deposit there and yeah is Guillory worth the consistency yeah luckily poke I got through the to harder fights at the beginning this baddest is always good [Music] Lance casually hyper beaming a person I know I know feel bad for that girl remorse this guy's like dude I'm so sorry so this is probably a good time for people that are donating to ask questions in your donation messages for the runners or any of the people on the couch because the it's it's sad this is like a boring sandwich with excitement bread all the really excitement stuffs at the beginning at the end and then you have this rocket a segment that's just like [Music] okay I'm just poor alligator just goes through goes through them like a hot knife through butter yeah you can see we're like double their level we have a Frawley Gator it's just unfortunate that this rocket section then the other one coming up or just so much lower than the rest of the game yeah like I'm using surf here because it's a couple letters shorter than had but to save three frames each time like I don't there there are key moments during the section that are important and can impact the run a lot but for the most part were one shotting everything yeah it's also worth noting that they he could have gone back and delivered the medicines Ampharos and then fought jasmine but at this level the Magda might sir I think it's like a ninety five percent range and the steelix is a sixty seven percent and it's not even that much faster to do her first two it's worth it to just do this segment first and then go fight her later when they're guaranteed to one shot each children yeah you still get a little bit of experience from each of these pans that'll add up to be a level or two and then it's just guaranteed ranges on jasmine we would go into 32 but I think you're like 35 or 36 after a price yep [Music] so hopefully the price is right and I'm sorry time for some donations then yes all right you've got $100 from that one dude 53 saying had to donate during gold when my favorite games of all time second time donating keep up the good work guys I've got $10 from Randy 172 saying I got a gameboy color and pokemon gold for Christmas the kid and it was the first video game I ever owned so cool to see it speedrun when I put so much time into it during my childhood we've got $50 from dahlias Bob saying first gdq I've watched and loving it can't wait for pokemon gold [Music] you we've got $5.00 from fat and three saying hi sorry for my bad english it's just fine all right so polka is coming up on the Poliwrath here hopefully we do not see the punch like mind-reader is the best thing that he can do if you get the range yeah it's funny the Poliwrath has mind-reader dynamic punch it's just such a silly comment that's a perfect I've got a second best thing it's also good because poke I was out of awakenings so he would've had to use one of those cool heels for that have it hit so really good fight that was pretty much perfect except for the missed range it's worth noting that status moves when used by the NL by the opponent and this Jen and Jen won't have a 25% chance to fail yeah even if they're 100% accurate right on top of their normal accuracy - yeah and then so it knows the size you know normally a what 55 60 percent rank it's 60 and then it goes down to 45 so that that math works out 45% to hit hypnosis which is it really hard for the audience to believe given all of the persons while supersonic is is not affected by that oh do I learned something today and confusions not like a badess for some reason I guess maybe because it doesn't carry every between battle or something so Lance just gave me a free he'll there He healed all put on power and H beautiful yeah so now every move that I used on each Pokemon is really important because I'm gonna keep this set of Pokemon power minus-1 ether that I'll use on serve all the way to the Elite Four basically so each move that I use is very important because if I use the wrong moves or if I missed a couple of damage ranges then I can run out and be forced to take an extra Pokemon Center or something like that yeah souther nation yep sure you've got $10 per say you know one saying prepare for trouble and make a double to protect the world from Magikarp devastation to unite all donations within our nation to Ananse the evils the bad rng and cancer to extend our reach for the research above gunner maniac coca guy 84 team agdq blasts off at the speed of light donate now or prepare to reset hashtag thanks to all good thinner dodge thereby polka always good to see we've got $20 from shy Ranger saying question for runners what do you like most about to be running this Pokemon game compared to others that's an interesting question so for me in this game it's definitely the music it makes for a very chill experience and a lot of the gym leaders flush I'll leave for members music to really like type and exciting and stuff so when you're on good pace you could kind of into it and stuff so def for me and stuff like the music for me I would also say the music is a big part also I just like it's not like too difficult except for the beginnings like once you get past the beginning I don't know you just don't really have to pay attention that much I guess it makes it pretty easy to run at least for pretty much this entire staff in the rocket segment if you haven't memorized then you can kind of tune out and talk to shot and then you come back in when it's all over focus up again I don't know it's just a nice experience yep here's $20 from bit dragon 62 saying question for the cow flash runners why run pokemon gold versus pokemon silver is there a difference in speed great running keep it up that's another good question yeah oh yeah I got it um so in almost all Pokemon games the brother/sister games are considered the same category so red blue is one category yellow as a separate category gold silver is one category crystals a different category the reason that we run gold is because of the Sandshrew that's the union cave that we use to to to teach them cut and use cut for the rest of the run that that encounter slot is filled with a round of time pokemon silver so there's not a very good place to manipulate and get a cutter and that that's the major reason that we use gold instead now as funny as it is it would technically be faster to run silver because you get the silver wing instead of the rainbow wing you would save three frames so technically it is faster to run in silver but there's no good way to get a cut pokemon yeah Rattata learns cut each in three going forward if rattler and cut engine two then it would be even if not advantage silver yeah exactly [Music] we've got $10 from Kumari saying Feraligatr is my favorite Pokemon good luck to the runners if this is read I'll draw one I can't wait to see that you've got $20 from Sega Librium 180 180 4 stars I butchered that had to donate during the pokemon run question for the runners and couch what's your favourite starter - Bulbasaur she's a good cabbage that tries hard plus the three best of luck in the race the question was what what is my favorite starter that's right Chikorita for sure trickery to cyndaquil bulbs for in that order I'd have to say mine is tapping I don't know why you can name it vacant that's great symmetry that doubles as like completely adorable and hard mode in this game though I was gonna say Charmander and this knowledge Charmander main magia - actually Totodile which is one of the reasons I've really liked this game cuz you get to use them for the whole game these three hours that their favorite Pokemon I know it's great and then like the Alakazam line is my favorite pokemon in general and which is why you know you get to hear the best song in the game you get to pick up arguably the best pokemon on this generation yeah so good that's why crystals worst crystal is actually a better speedgame like objectively speaking bit whoa bringing out the big guns whoa projective ly hot take well for those that don't know you were able to swap two seater raikou or int a affricate which one's the better one because you have to go and unlock them anyway it's worth it to be able to swap to them it's not worth to do that in gold because you have to take on additional trainers there's what firebreather dick you have to pick up rocks smash you have to fight another rival fight the hardest mate in the game so bad if you had to do it but yeah and gold you don't you actually just don't have to do it in crystal it's forced so in this game we just skip all that entirely and we can't unlock the legendary dogs but you know you have to anyway in crystal it becomes faster and it's actually a really really cool run I definitely recommend checking that out which is the prevailing a dog for the fight right breath it's right there okay here's another one we've got fifteen dollars from trophy saying been enjoying agdq the whole week in can't wait for two more days of speedruns this weekend I also grew up with and loved Pokemon games the question is what is the all-time favorite Pokemon ever of the couch and runners [Music] my favorite Pokemon is Articuno mine is Snorlax which we can see right here yes mines latias Alakazam for me what's your favorite wine string closes heracross that's good choice hair Kostas probably the coolest bug Pokemon yeah - master ringing that's a good choice - there's not a wrong choice really we've got a hundred and fifty dollars from Tide oh seven thing today is my birthday glad to have some high quality entertainment to watch today and for a good cause let's kick cancers butt happy birthday happy is that one dollar for how it for each year you've lived because that would be really impressive [Music] all right now there is something extremely interesting coming up on gunner gunner speed here there's a chance that this arbok live what is it 29 29 and 39 to die so there's a 1 in 30 chance we get some excitement here so here we go horde there were no damage ranges but now that we've gotten to this fight the damage ranges auerbach this is actually reasonably relevant right because I only have one full heal no paralyzed curve area so if I miss this range and get glare and it hit oh yeah then that would be really he's just gonna hit the range this would be alright there's not the one in a hundred chance that this could be very bad I just wanted to hype it up in case that happened oh man this boy was also arranged but it will only use absorb yeah if I messed up from its I think one than thirty as well back when crystal ran Totodile through this section you would have ice punched in the tomb would always go down the ice punched and that's super effective text and that's first if we add ice punch we would use it there yeah yeah you have together again spell the earth coming in this golden rod mark to buy ice punch and they haven't gone yet so they will be getting that it later on them yeah eventually they'll get it but just haven't had the chance yet it's also probably worth noting they you see them going out of the way to fight a couple of trainers they have to talk to them after they flight them to get the passwords to get through the door yeah so while they're technically optional they're actually not mm-hmm you and it's unfortunate that you can't just go to the door knowing the password yeah I know what they are no I think anybody that runs this game the least somewhat consistently knows what the passwords are yeah it's interesting because the one that tells you the password is eradicate tale I'm pretty sure is goofy because if you pay attention to what he says he says and you get to see him again you actually get to talk to him again later all in spoiler alert yeah but he he has eradicate and he tells you grata Kate tale but the the woman that gives you the other password does not have a slow camp in history book tale so all these electrodes are wild encounters which means they have random stats so there are technically damaged ranges in kind of a different way than it usually is because trainers thoughts or trainers pokémon have set stats but these guys could have like crazy special defense for example and surf might not kill yeah these are also the last chance for Gunnar to see another shiny this running both snorlock well oh I guess yes far less you're right has anyone seen I have not I have seen a file for any electrode though that was threatened what like a trifecta race right it was again it was got time for some more quick yep yep we've got five dollars keep the keep saying question for the runners what would be a good starter game for those interested in Pokemon speedruns this one yep yep if you have the time to do a three and a half hour run this is the most simple pokemon game to pick up really intuitive as far as the route and stuff if you don't have quite so much time to put into a pokemon speedrun then yellow is also a really good option there's lots of resources and information about those categories out there there's a pokemons to be running discord you can get into if you're interested in it people are really helpful and come out your stream and tell you you know hints and help and all kinds of fun stuff definitely recommend one of those two very welcoming Oh God let's give our admins on the PS our discord somewhere joined the PSR discord yeah really really good group of people we're very welcoming so I always love to see new runners dude they accepted me so anybody so a really good group of people all those the although spinners in the game that I've been pausing for and trying to react to and stuff doesn't apply here we just go oh come on this is the worst spinner in the game Bar None yeah and you just have to risk and because you can't see Abby's off-screen no there's no way to react you just pull it and Opie doesn't look at you it pressed up you hold right you hope I think spring flow ran what a hundred thousand um how many yeah a hundred thousand simulations of going around this stupid circle and it comes out to be like forty nine percent well so it's like a coin flip to hit him or not and then you just lose a minute or more because this thing has to protect it has supersonic yeah The Cloisters a huge troll it has Aurora beam I guess I've seen a run where he got off a triple protect yeah it's it can waste so much time like even a good Douglass fight is 45 seconds ridiculous his age or his XP is like super slightly useful but not nearly as much fun as that definitely not we're at a 45 second and yeah that is pretty much if you're if you're doing a world-record attempt then you don't save and reset when you hit him then it's pretty much instantly run over as some portrait that there's basically a coin flip this long into the run hour-and-a-half another runner so you just get point flip sorry dragon yep don't let that discourage you it's still very very beginner friendly there's not that many fights that can kill you so yep there's like one of the this is one of the highest chances to complete a run yes I'm dying in any Pokemon game in red is less than 1% fir for reference that's a really hard damage range to hit especially with the worst attack yeah not a big deal they hard to seal the deal in one shot there's young [Music] I throw in a donation yeah we've got $15 from gunner maniac the second thing hey gunner Graywolf here go on and get the win much love to you less than three come on egos to shenanigans choice okay you have a son but what was that you have a son it's like really hard to hear the donations it's through this that said I don't know if we can turn that up but here's another question we've got $15 from creation Lord saying question for runners in couch who is your favorite gym leader across all gents up though let's see some Pat's play I mean break Super Scribblenauts the who's your favorite gym leader across all gens favorite gym leader would be Erica I would say and then maybe Jasmine after that I don't really have a favorite I don't like any of them my Jasmine Sabrina okay good choice so

weekend - we've got $25 from bass guitar bill was a very very topical question cool what your favorite I'm sorry I can't actually name one what's the film Ellen and I asked her one is that a type of breakfast cereal yeah I've never heard of that before in which case Reese's puffs [Music] oK we've got 20 dollars from Amanda 107 saying thanks for the great pokémon gold brace question for the runners how did you get started and pokemon speedrunning i father people doing it really well and I was like I could totally beat that and you know eight months later I was like wow this is really hard but eventually I got good and put a bunch of time into it and I don't know it's just a really enjoyable game to stream I think it works well with like talking to chat and stuff stuff yeah I actually used to be a shiny hunter and then I saw werster's video of him finding his shiny vault and emeralds and like my recommended videos or whatever and then I just kept watching his videos and just got into it like that pretty much and the same that how a nose was your skin [Music] you found instant accent has just been bad but that was me we've got $50.00 from Judah by saying what's your favorite Pokemon fights ooh fight like from the show I'm not sure you got this one perk yeah no I've got y'all okay it's the Lance fight because of the music okay the red fight has the same music but the red fight is so much more stressful yeah also Lance is a cheater you'll see you'll see why when you get to it he also uses a Pokemon to harm people I think the Pokemon League should really having him as a member yeah I have a whole theory on that ooh once we enter the next rocket segment we can now we can get into that a little bit it's them conspiracy theories saving for Douglas a smarter huh faster on average yeah gunner is also grabbing return it's a ridiculously powerful move okay hey good okay first try Douglas that's good I go okay I've about a minute there which is really good saying had to donate during the gold race this game is the epitome of my childhood shoutout to my dad for kicking prostate cancer in the butt and being cancer free for a whole year he's my hero here's to all the times I had to explain to him why I couldn't just Shelly gave me way off as a kid that words to love you dad and love everything agdq does we've got $25 from me me q1 18 saying pika pika Pikachu give me Q thank you you were so brave for saying that it's for a good cause we've got $50 from sad me saying question for the Pokemon speedrunners Gunnar maniac and pokey guy 84 is there any reason not to run the 3ds Virtual Console release as a bold the RNG manipulation that are at the beginning of the run almost certainly don't work on Virtual Console you could make ones that worked for it and we do accept runs on the leaderboards for it but it would be a lot harder to keep up without that it'd have to find your own minutes which is a process say the least we've got $100 from Jim 1:27 saying truly in awe of the dedication of the runners and everyone else involved in gdq props guys question for the runners how many hours you estimate you put into getting as good as you are at this game oh god I do not have a number for that I'm I'm gonna say maybe four thousand across not just this game but all pokemon speedruns something something like that [Music] I have absolutely no idea we've got $10 from Lionheart 3:12 saying question for runner and couch since we already asked what everyone's favorite starter is let's switch it up and ask what everyone's leaf favorites Tartarus great run for a great cause good luck guys chespin Chikorita I like it this guy I I gotta agree with Pokagon say Chikorita cute whatever chikorita is very cute that is all it's got going for it all there's also many other grass types that can fiddle any role that it could do way better I am a staunch full of astora hater bulbs posts were really close as I can the bulbs Florrick and at least Bulbasaur can't be poisoned we me above a sort of hatha has the bad times together oh yeah you better deal with him much more so fair enough he started it though yeah oh of course but you don't seem like the kind of guy the way to start any type of confrontation you're just so pleasant I think and I that sounded sarcastic but I meant that genuinely uh-huh thanks thanks man no not you Gunnar I was talking how I have I like the oh I though we've got $5.00 from anonymous then dude took that hyperbeam like a champ yeah go Pokemon beat cancer [Music] [Applause] we've got $10 from jay burritos saying first time donator pats you for pokemon GSC to the runners in couch what is your favorite moment in a Pokemon game my first moment is crossing new bark town and taking those first steps into canto but that was my answer yeah that was my answer I love that like Oh Mike there's a whole nother you know gen or like I don't know just a whole nother region to go to now that's crazy [Music] just to finish the donation my father introduced me to Pokemon with yellow and unfortunately passed away from cancer last year so this three means a lot singing good luck to both runners my favorite moment is going into the game corner and listen the lucky channels so good we've got a spicy meatball from a ghost for ten dollars saying digimon for life yeah Reese's puffs they're great I concur so I may need to correct this on that if we're wrong I'm not that worried about it yeah Cinnamon Toast Crunch is a very close second we gotta eat that before it gets soggy I apologize that's okay we've got $25 from one of the flock saying shout outs to Shen on the couch or should I say tuna hand mock banana how much thanks for the countless hours of entertainment oh and thanks Gunnar and pokey guy to donation to Shen's choice [Music] we've got $25 from anonymous saying we're a family pokémon lovers been looking forward to this run all week oh it's really interesting the menu that Gunners doing here he intentionally bonked on the wall to have enough time passed by for this rotater to rotate just as he's going by him so that he doesn't hit him if he did not fall and did the exact same movement otherwise this rotator would hit him he'll tell close photos it's it's so close that was actually not the best one but sometimes it looks crazy close you got it yeah poka is also doing his big Mart visit that's kind of a staple and pokemons be running at one point you just go to the Mart buy everything you need for the rest of the game so you got a bunch of XA them's a sponge return it's always cool just best stocking up like that at the top one that's a one shot that porygon he does have tri attack which can satisfy but usually he likes the conversion and of course he did conversion dragon to drag on the fight shame on him you were warned huh I apologize for nothing who if you must why couldn't you picked any other to give a joke for every type think it over not into it sometimes they just come to me and that was conveniently like drag dragon easy dragon balls too I've got another question here if there's time oh yeah oh yeah we've got $25 from mad Riddler saying thanks for everything you guys do question for all who is your least favorite rival and why is it how to prepare the wet Joe rival is more annoying than how I would say and he doesn't understand the concept of personal boundaries he literally picked something out of your hair my favorite rival is the one in this game I like to you know have a little bad blood between me and the guy that I'm trying to compete against it can it makes it interesting the whole everybody befriends rivals are less less interesting to me I find it easier to just like the everybody befriend rivals though so it's like full circle yeah I really like ease character development in this gun you can't want hit that wheezing so you bite it first to try to get the flange and also because I hit Douglas before I'm gonna get 44 these last two coughing's which means that they are not damage ranges also an interesting side note it's I don't think we've mentioned this at all but from the fact if we have I mention it again you know the one character nicknames to save the frames' and a is the quickest character to do that if I remember correctly though gunner name says Totodile B because he cares and it's not a because it's not a does it lose any time to name it be if you're perfect you can buffer it and then you can do it without losing time the default character for let's go is one so both you and your rival are named one because it takes one to know my name shoulder falls at the older part of that one that was one of the worst ones I liked it oh okay then you can applaud then I have I have Gunners blessing I can't believe you've done this we've got $5 from Ariadne saying - she asked for runner questions I have one for you what do you like on your pizza oh this is gonna be good it's gonna be rough if I do a really for people this may change I wonder how divided our group is wellness now full disclaimer i like many kinds of pizzas that have many combinations of toppings but my favorite among all of them is pineapple yes [Applause] [Music] doesn't have to be pineapple but if I had to choose one like a Hawaiian style like ham and bacon and pineapple right I can totally get behavior with maybe without the bacon but oh well now we have a problem I like bacon just you know let's know that's it that's fair I'd say my favorite is pepperoni and jalapenos that's a good rule and Connor hates molecules a lot so if I still had my paralyzed pure Barry I'd set up on this Magnemite and it would use Thunder Wave and then take the paralyzed cure berry which I'd have to take off anyway it's a really really cool straw but I can't do that here so I have to risk a ton of damage or getting poisoned on the Meganium instead I don't know what the odds are but it's pretty unlikely to save your paralyze feel the whole run up to this point at least that's really good yes the best thing that Meganium can do it's like you it's the best feeling no to be able to do that and way back when when you still got the bitter berry to do the same thing on the go bad and he used this confused try to get rid of it yeah because as I mentioned before they're going to be getting the pink bow which will increase the amount of damage that normal type attacks are doing and if they're holding another item it takes longer to acam them the pink pink berry because it's a dole they're already holding item you want to take it whereas if they're not holding item it just says are you I mean I'm paraphrasing but this longer slice it's really cool the held item mechanic in this Jen even though the held items themselves are a lot less like there's not as many of them to choose from there's still some really good choices that you can make so the think there's a fantastic holiday isn't to get and and the fact that the Pokemon are able to use the berries to heal off a status that is that is very very valuable quick donation that was really good oh yeah yes yeah we've got $50 from cool trainer Joyce saying hey gunner in polka guy nice dub of waiting spinners so far you boys in an hour Joyce was one of the last defenders on the game and she's what the last one in Kanto and like a little second a lot her in the game yeah yeah go she'd be last one in Jojo and then there's wooden coaster Oh technically she's in Kanto but oh yeah good point yeah let me check your map tight no quit okay we've got $25 from Captain Jack saying enjoying the gold run why they didn't have the PC glitch I had in my cartridge where I couldn't store pokemon pearl otherwise they get deleted hashtag hard mode our conversion just failed as businessman this is the one one exciting part about the section that they're in right now is their handful of Pokemon that arranges that porygon that you saw they both had to to shot that porygon is probably the toughest range to get in this section there's a couple of months the gloom in the arbok are they still Rangers even with this step give a sponge for the gloom now I've seen the ice punch be arranged on I'm not familiar with what yeah I don't know how bad your fish has to be for it to be arranged so I made a mistake when we were messing with the volume before where I used two strengths on the piloswine instead of a surf and I'm trying to figure out exactly what moves I'm supposed to use on which Pokemon to like fix everything that I did I think because I hit Douglas it's actually gonna turn out okay because I can ice punch something I'd normally Springs but like I said like we've had this themed set of pokemon tower since plants gave us for free he'll like forever ago it's very limited here you have to be very cautious with their stuff yeah it's super tight it is really cool how you can stretch it out from its whatever 50 minutes an hour or whatever yeah a heel to the next heel without with minimal increase in npp you used what you use one ether and wanting a parent and that's that's it not much the tuck range and that means get poison you and then like going into your menu in this game is super slow encounters are super slow everything is really slow so I'm missing a range like that can actually be super punishing if I'm not mistaken the first one the first muck was arranged as well I believe it is a 98 person but it's a favorable one yeah 98 percent it's really easy to run them up here in the underground oh yeah how many people how many people ran around like trying to figure out the order of these stupid switches it's literally just three to one like thanks Nintendo for making me at least it's not trash cans from Jin's 1 3 and ever yeah that's true also Nintendo thank you for not making trash and so bad and let's go that was the best applause I've ever done that was a yeah your first one was really good to throw in a donation got $200 per play just dark chikorita rules thanks Gunnar maniac in pokey died 84 for racing my absolute favorite generation this donation goes to tax bot we've got $10 from TAS blue saying which has a asking which has been the best moment in speedrunning you guys experienced go gunner in Alsip okay guy oh and save the animals' best moment in speedrunning up there for sure is the first time that I I broke the yellow record because I worked really hard for like a bunch of months on getting better at the game and like you know getting a time that you're really happy with for the first time I don't know it's like a moment I would actually also say the first time I wrote the yellow record because it had lasted about a year before I got it and in about four hours before I got it either on beat it and then I just beat it three hours later though I was pretty fun that was that was a good day yes I thought I thought for sure Connor would say his no major glitches record and red would be his favorite [Music] we've got $10 from cap saying this run started at 5:30 in Australia but my buddy and I are here with coffee not missing a second question for the team who is your favorite evolution donation goes to whoever picks Umbreon only one of you're one of you are allowed to pick okay so my third favorite Pokemon is Umbreon so it's my favorite [Music] mine's probably Clarion Espeon mines also Espeon but Umbreon is a very very close second shiny Umbreon with the blue looks just gorgeous string s panel i see this this is why we're on the couch we know what's what as well they call us the Emmy get to start with us beyond the Umbreon I love bat of it is awesome although the coolest starter pairings we've got $10 from mega Ampharos saying great run thanks guys but what's your favorite shiny pokemon also Umbreon I have to thank Shani mega Gengar mine's kind of a tie any pokemon that goes from like a warm color to a cold colors like muted o Voltorb electro they go from like a red to a blue is so good actually no I take that back Charizard like black chars are just the coolest one of all and anybody like that's largely any of any of them any of the shinies that go to a black palette just look incredible I'd havein there's not a bad one string is this shiny Sentret before you get any pokeball I've done that before we've got $20 from combo saying I heard someone hated Bulbasaur and I had to make a comment first of all how dare you Bulbasaur is a very good friend dog also I've been longing to make a donation this gave me an excuse good luck on the run if you've run catch them all for as long as I have you may also gain a hatred for Bopha store yeah it's kind of like he was pretty cool about that did he spit on that until it came up I know like it most of these are just like hey they pop in a thumb yeah I'm not gonna having prepared material I could maybe be a stand-up comedian but I'd have to sit down from time to time that one's prepared yep I I gave ample warning so I switched bite to the first lot of my moves a while ago and I used as many bites as I could to yeah Sam actually I have two left that's pretty good um and then I'm gonna teach you over it with return which is the move I'll use the most for the rest of the run and it's the strongest move that we get so having that in spot one saves the inputs then since I was using so much fight in this section it was worth to switch it a little bit early the thing with her turn there's just so many multipliers that go through it like the more use your Pokemon the stronger it gets against what the 102 power right base the power base power plus 10% from pink bow yep 10% from Whitney's badge boost and then for alligator his best out of the talk so in oh and it has 20 PP which is a lie yes yeah it's a godsend because before they started using return they would use earthquake you don't get that until later and and the only is 10 PP getting only has 10 so just so many good things about return it's also stronger than earthquake as I said it's max power it's stronger than well it's probably got to be even before that because of the other boots yeah cuz you don't you get ground type boost from Brock is that right sure [Music] now that would be a rocky ground is from blue yeah okay yes have even further on in the run so the only the only badge boost you don't get in the scheme is dark there's no no dark badge boost yeah [Music] kind of contentious twenty dollars for anonymous saying question to the runners is a burrito considered a sandwich I'm gonna say no say no taken is a hot dog a sandwich that's much more difficult I feel but I'll start probably now I mean it's on a bun and they say sandwich buns that's a tough call there as long as it's got slaw and mustard on it I'll eat it whether you call it a sandwich or not okay so I think I worked everything out to where I'm one returned short but that's okay as long as I don't miss every single range and even if I do that I'll only lose one turn but I will have to use struck hall one I think that's my situation yeah it's kind of crazy sometimes if you make a mistake with the pp management you have to really think it through where you can make up the mood yeah I had to move some puzzle pieces yeah in a few ways but I think I did it without losing a turn okay Gunnar did that on purpose actually he wanted to add some entertainment by using good footing facts than there well we're coming into the end of the rocket segment okay guys dawn has I guess we can do the my Lance theory now okay so the crux of the whole theory is that that Lance is actually evil right so when you first meet Lance he's investigating these magic harps that are evolving in the lake of rage right they're evolving too soon they're becoming Garrity's the whole lakes filled with Gyarados it's like alright can you come help me and the rocket hideout doesn't seem too crazy you know he's the champion maybe he's a he does them he wants to do some good but what's interesting is that Lance came to know his way around the entire rocket hot rod he's always one step ahead of you he's got extra healing items no one seems to be fighting his Pokemon right which isn't too too crazy on its own but then when you go to fight Lance later in the game he has three dragon eyes are all lower level than a Dragonite is supposed to evolve that so my theory is that Lance is working with Team Rocket to improve his strength and maintain his spot as the Elite Four champion with his overpowered Dragonite and and yeah he's using you as cover to get through you know to get through the rocket base and be like oh look I'm doing so much good but really really is not the weirdest thing is that it's one of his Dragon Knights is like five levels lower than what it was then red blue yellow so who knows what he's getting new dragon eyes open dude the twisted scientists called the science he did on them caused him to have to retire one of them that's a shame but I just hit that vileplume range I think I did just think you did the golbat range - I did that's dad - go back one of the more difficult ones Tuesday's pretty good is 45% to go down really Wow 4045 it's rough yeah we've got five dollars from a yeah but still think and nope with the Pokemon funds can't we just keep our snarky meows shop for a moment oh boy we've got $75 from zero thank Pats and donate during my favorite run question for all what's your favorite Pokemon generation - for sure - five I'd say - as well institution it's two regions for the stuff and arguably some of the best music from the franchise if you count calls the MMX the mines gen 3 address Gen 2 Jhin three does offer more post game content though the battle frontier yeah now he said favorite not best the best fizzbuzz Gen 3 I think but gentoos music it's just too perfect for me personally if it's in an objective level I think kala is music too much I mean gen 3 is literally like tackled the game for the first what 20 minutes yeah oh that's an interesting fun fact - originally in June 1 and some people are familiar with what's a gen 1 missed because of I don't know the math behind it but just like a 1 in 256 chance for a move to miss in Gen 1 well the move tackle had an increased chance to Gen 1 miss and they did not fix this until June 5 and to rectify this they made it 50 based power and a hundred percent accurate a 95 percent certain that that's true I've heard that before - I think that's the case if you have speedrun in your title tackles like even lower channel exactly oh yeah yeah definitely Oh another just interesting side point that's not a meme they could have gotten this radio card sooner but it would have been four extra steps so they just fit it now they had to wait until after they save the radio tower as well but crystal will because they could have gotten when the decide to even it or when they got the basketball plane crystal gets the radio card when they get the master ball because it's important for the manipulatives to get into your right boat oh yeah we finally saved the world being our way oh good okay we got $25 from polka dot 11 saying love seeing old Pokemon games being run question for the runners and couch what is your favorite spooky pokedex entry - process i have no idea how you remember some really spooky ones but i don't remember what they were for but it's something about i wouldn't even call it my favorite cuz it's really really freaky but it's something about it takes the souls of most children or something that's the only creep ever now that's it's now the only one I know off that's really really creepy bossboss and hip there are two really good ones we've got $5.00 from bug catcher saying ring ring hi bug catcher here I just caught my six wheedle thought you should know okay bye click beep beep no pun intended but Frost last is the cooler of those two Pokemon I can tell so I like to think about the pokedex entries because it's all the kids they give them the Pokedex they run around so I feel like they over exaggerate a lot they're like she steals our souls there's just like yeah just that now I mean let's be honest hypno is just like a creepy-looking Pokemon in general I'm not trying to hit no shame but God he's pretty so I'm tossing all those super potions and antedates cuz I don't need them anymore yeah it's super slow to scroll past items on this game and I'll be using a ton of ex attacks the next special for the rest of the run so I want to it's faster actually to toss those and also much easier in the long run this is definitely the coolest I I love the music in here I love the execution not as fun as crystal but still so fun yeah oh yeah the dude that I was trying to be silly but yeah that music appears probably the best direct I think you ten doesn't hold a candle to lucky on my repel we're out here cuz that's the easiest to react here I like with Jen - you don't always have to hear the bike music a lot of time you hear the dungeon music overtop can't say I've ever tried to surf there before Jenna whose bike music is so much better than Jenna whatever I said I try to just let the boulder be I think my rappel might almost wear out now so that's another misconception that people have that you think we have to put all the boulders down the whole little way just only one you'll have to push down normal alright okay guy will definitely have a better eyes pop and then practice it and another interesting little thing you saw gunner move walking older was still going down that's it's a Gentoo mechanic yeah it's cool cuz it in general the boulder puzzles are super slow you have to wait for the boulder to move within Gentoo they're actually pretty touchable moving the boulder oh no okay yeah you cut it really close to the repels there well if you just do it right it's okay yeah yeah I mean jinhwan has to point out one thing first these super repels there cuz he once they're repelled to where I was a very specific time leader I believe it's right in front of a spinner it's really cool to repel there and even that one's right before he picked up the dragon thing and not next purple is a really cool one okay that falls into that category we're just doing as much as you can in one minute you didn't reduce the number of menus okay the next repeal of an lines up with the spinner anyway yeah you can read some donations now all right we've got $25 from goop's 24 saying my grandfather passed away from cancer only a few months ago he gifted me my first Pokemon game crystal so I know I had to donate now thank you to all the runners question what location has your favorite music in the entire Pokemon franchise ice path is up there hmm I mean if it's like an overworld location that I would say ice path but as far as like battle music it's the Kanto gym leader music that you hear in this game one of my favorite songs is the general for gym battles music and that's really the only one I can think of I don't really like yeah I think I think everybody knows my favorite song by now but the lucky channel song and I wish like the best credits song was June 3 and until black and white came out the first black and white that that game does not deserve credit music that's that to it and I'm sorry it's an interesting speedrun to casually it was just such a bore neither could camps wise I like the battle team for kantha they can't the gym leaders is really good and then pyrite town for another world from Oakland Coliseum though the speed tag that goes into the gym five runs right that's incredible yeah but just like casually gently like black and white to work so much better than black and white just a disapproving we've got $100 from my only save Ohio one and their comments is hold on for this Ohio and I've Ohio to you to install a good night [Music] I always loved this Boulder push Gunners go he's gonna push it and just walk away right as that goes got the two tiles this is the best he can do there I my spot up a lot yeah card it's actually a really technical game the two tile whoa that was all might have been really good that was a good one like so you just have to stutter just lightly to get past the rotator without hitting him and like I thought he was gonna hit him I'm pretty sure my wondering radio tower was one frame yeah it was really good bells crazy do y'all not put mine into the water no that's way slower I thought mine was good but they're kind of worried about my HP I take damage I would definitely supervise from I don't have any oh well yeah they just don't take fight anymore they mention this fine it's a good crib right the next few goals like on the way the Elite Four so he's got to push that hip points throw them yeah you really stretch the the HP and the the Pokemon power to the limit mm-hmm with the suction and it's honestly not furred not much gain like I mean a Pokemon Center is slow but it's not that slow but it's just I don't know it's satisfying to to make it all work out perfectly yeah and for world record it's um definitely mandatory so can we take a moment to point out if you consider it first of all in this too three out of the eight Johto gym leaders are are irresponsible to some degree or another you have more tea that you literally have to go hunt him down and Crispo Whitney literally cries and you have to wait her to give you the badge and Claire is just like no you've got to do something else to get this badge even though the Pokemon rules Brooklyn the rules dictate if you beat the gym leader you're supposed to get the badge Jojo Gym Leaders need to get their stuff together quick donation okay we've got $500 from Paul 89 Wow [Applause] they say help others however you can some of us can donate so we do and for those of us who can't I hope that we can find our own way to help out my gosh I was gonna mention on Misty's on a date we have - oh yeah - yeah but the that movement there a nice path is very very technical yet it's tricky but we both made it look harder than it really is way harder in principle oh yeah yeah true again no pun intended it looks cool crystals ice past looks cooler there's actual proper like ice blocks instead of oh yeah crystals and ripples is crazy in comparison [Applause] so this kangaroo can there's a lot of ways we control you can get dragon's breath paralyze you can get a hyper beam crit she can a hyper potion please don't do it please don't okay could have been quite bad I would if I just switch out actually that paralyzed me I don't even have any full rules what yeah oh if I can't amend a statement I said earlier regarding the typing of moods whether it was had an eeveelution or not the tremors were special he does not have a dragon-type evolution but dragon is considered a special type movement June 23 in it makes me think the ferry type existed before Jen Styx had probably been special yeah sylveon has a really good shiny - quick donation yep we've got $50 from itto akame saying glad I can make it in time for the pokemon gold race question to the runners what is your least favorite generation 5 I'm not just firing back I I tried to play through n7 but it was literally so slow at the start that I could not get past 20 minutes in so I would say that but I don't think I can say it without actually playing it so probably Jen sticks so we've got $30 here from NIMS easy um and it's the Pokemon anime opener so you don't want me to I think she does all right here we go [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] you teach me and I'll teach you okay man quick confession I thought that was the entire opener but they only posted the first half oh my god de Larroque didn't let me through yeah that the the full song is actually longer than that I don't think very many people I lost like 10 seconds try to render the lyrics dang now it's my fault that that was joyce manip I believe all right which is pretty stuck-up exactly can thinking she has the right to waste your time how dare she okay ignoring the bonk into the wall there this movement is pretty important that I don't take any extra steps because I've set up my rappel to wear out right in front of the next spinner which is not this this is a rotator and so it'll basically act as a pause it functions the same way as a pause except it's a rappel text that was gonna happen anyways I save like over a second from from not having to pause and you'll see he's got gunner has one more fight after this one he has what he'll have zero serfs zero strength zero i sponged Zara zero eyes function through ice punches twos to it just like it's bare minimum as far as he and then he just gets the healed when this is all over before I have my heel I will have one return left and that's it so that was actually like more than 50 minutes from one heel to the other where you just make it laugh and the thing with that one return like if you miss the damage range there goes if you miss a second damage oh yeah like Oh out of moves it's really easy for things to go south just by missing too many damaged wrenches yeah alright this is by far my least favorite movement in the whole game they've got donation time yeah Oh before we start I think but guys must have a pretty interesting fight with a player so see what he decides to do with that but yeah happens in life the spinner coming up - yeah we've got $20 from Jamie's saying question out of all of the fighting type Pokemon which one wins the Royal Rumble play wins what a Royal Rumble oh I don't know what that is I was hoping you would know oh I've got the answer for this one it's Geodude because that's the one that brought used in the fighting type tournament in the anime I just made that up it is fighting type in the cart games you know we've got $100 from prof nes saying that Pokemon acapella was glorious thank you we've got $20 from Iike pal saying Ohio [Music] all right so here comes the spinner of how after he finally gets us you know after very long time yep one one return left that's it and then I get this nice free he'll gonna take an extra step here to set up the repel to wear out right in front of Joy's that's perfect perfect thank you doc but we're gonna get we're gonna wait a second oh okay okay I gotta dodge now so world-record hits one spinner and it's only her so I'm not on very good terms alright come back why I thought she was stuck but I was like nope you're not getting me again okay okay good choices easily thanks to the two Union Cape and if Joyce is easily the second worst spinner and behind Douglas luckily poke guys through Claire no problems that fights really scary we're on low HP going in so work out very well quick question from the donations yeah we've got $20 from cádiz uki saying hey oh it's finally nice to see this event run live from the crowd in person question what's your favorite Pokemon cry and why is it Jake [Music] [Laughter] my favorite Pokemon cry I really like venusaur I don't know why great it's got a lot of homes behind it I don't really have a favorite we've got $5.00 from yo 173 saying thank you guys for the right golden silver was a huge part of my childhood ripped my only shiny pokemon ever in any Pokemon game aside from red Gyarados a shiny tentacle that died when Gold's internal battery Oh mines that hard African chat for respect also question for the couching runners which unknown letter is your favorite B because that's what I named my Pokemon [Music] i I'm gonna say s because you know like s tear and and suave starts with an S I know my alphabet I like a cuz I had a holographic unknown card is that you I've got I've actually still got one of those and there's yeah I think a was the one that was always holographic can't remember them that's a tough thought that ones were really tough maybe like 20% to go down or something so we don't expect to one product [Music] we've got $5.00 from coverage - five - saying I have a question for Shen went to do you prefer a red or blue team red for sure yes he thought for sure bitchin would blew it but now that those were traumatic we probably can't miss you dude we've got $20 from nightfall been looking for it to this year's pokemon run ended up watching it with four friends on the line hey guys hey GT q hi mom thanks to everyone running this entire show and all involved good luck and make the comeback poke a guy trying [Music] well that's the good / bad thing about this front at this point pretty much all of the problematic fights are over with there's just there's some that are gonna work potentially waste time he'll own the other death that's even possible is ready then literally the last fight mm-hmm yeah but that is the most problematic fight exactly I could easily lose this race don't that's the one thing about this run that's so annoying is you know your 3 plus hours in and Pikachu's decides and they laying inconvenient yeah you're about a coin flip to get hit by a Thunder with all the setup you need to do on the last fight and if you get hit by a Thunder it's pretty much over the least really scary Fick donation yep we've got $20 from game watching mama saying pokemon bread was the first video game I ever beat on my own his kid so of course I had to donate during both Mon race um I am watching it with my one-year-old hoping he'll grow up loving Pokemon - question for the runners in couch when you first played Pokemon as a kid how long did it take you to beat your first game my first Pokemon game yeah I'm being God month a really long I mean I was too young really a long time mine is like two weeks probably Wow nerd [Laughter] yeah probably at least months I remember I was all level 100 when I did the elite 4 so that was so long ago I don't even remember like I know I had read and I know I used blast toys and I used almost exclusively blast boys I don't remember how long it took we've got $55 from Stephan Gustafson saying there once was a boy called Paks who taught his Charizard flash to the drink fly and serve norcut was his turf and he never even bothered with Flash that's an interesting donation because there's a couple of sections and then not so distant future that the game probably intended for you to have flash for but poke poker guy and Gunny because I can speak English gunner and pokegaard is so good they don't need flash you recall Jin won the there's at least walls that kind of give you cues as to where you are it is pitch black yeah no to the dark sections to this game the only thing is the a the balls you can see shaken sometimes gauge where you are but for the most part it's completely blind to movement which when we get to those points one will have quiet time there too now poke I messed up is moving a little bit I think so we'll see what he decides to do with this pass it should still work okay yeah fake movements kinda sticky sometimes [Music] because $10 from vex 97 saying great run so far guys keep it up what's the longest time you've spent resetting for a good Totodile a few years ago I watched my friend reset for about 4 hours straight without one when they were running crystal we still have nightmares about it to this day well we have the orange even if you Lucian now so it's a little different but I would say my worst street without getting a runnable Totodile is is then that range three and a half four hours probably mine too I don't really remember though definitely had bad streets though it's nice now with the manipulation that's generally not random anymore [Music] pleats are good okay we've got $25 from youngster Joey one two months saying hi I like shorts they're comfy and easy to wear where I record that was before yeah that was not when it's like 27 degrees Fahrenheit outside there's some great people that still do and I applaud them but I like I like to have the feeling in my legs but oh if you got another one go ahead and thank you backside [Music] we've got $20 from Kerry Dean saying gdq has been spectacular this year it's amazing to watch these speedruns and donate towards that you did cause also Pokemon has been my favorite Nintendo series that I was a kid so this brings so much nostalgia the field thanks again everyone question have any of you done a speed run for let's go for Zelda no let's go let's go I know I haven't done any I let's go speed run they're wrong I actually have if you're a Pokemon speed runner at 8 o'clock later tonight we're having a race together so join us and Wow the Ketchum MacLeod game is so bad though oh my goodness that's so unlikely yeah that's never happened to me you have to miss the range get confusion 10% to confuse and then 50% to hurt yourself and confusion and he got quite ways [Music] not a quick one oh my goodness come on now the worst but I've ever seen I'm pretty sure this is the world oh come on oh my god oh my god please I you no no yeah okay okay I think yeah yeah you have to heal Wow that was crazy [Music] the donation oh yeah one hundred dollars from Mara Koide saying I love Pokemon and gold was the first game I finished about my parents helped agdq is the best and I'm so glad I can finally donate thank you to all the runners into everyone whose health of the event so you'll see that I used in X accuracy on this fight because the area does use double team and there's two other pokemon that are really likely to use a evasive increasing moves X accuracy works the same exact way engine two is it doesn't Jen one we're using just one skips the accuracy shot completely so you just always that no matter what it's definitely worth it on average on this fight because you can get super troll and unlike in gym one there's not really access to a one se Cayo move like with Dido King and hard roll and I think even if there was it probably wouldn't be worth it to even get it because of all of good you know that forty minutes section where you're having to make URI powerpoints lasts so long and I've PowerPoint move is just not gonna cut the mustard if you tie that you'd probably teach it later it's that would be useful for Red's for example oh yeah I guess that's a good point you just to go and you could charm all he wants to and ya know could know cuz these are hired all of his Pokemon are higher level than you it wouldn't you're right that's true now there's just too much you know low-level spamming Pokemon that you have to get through for the one @ KO v PP move to be worthless and there we just solved the you know pokemons attempt at giving Zubat Redemption crobat is really really cool and sooo bad is really really annoying car bot school i like robot shiny car ads like one of the real uncle's chinese bryce - it's like pink like pink and green do you know how much it's like it does more than 44 okay if it didn't then I like it'd be better just go well 40 whatever yeah I would just polish her so Bruno and Lance were the only two elite four members that kind of stayed from gin one I guess Agatha finally decided to retire and Anna Lorelei ended up just working on her look because when she came back in the huts bo she's a very pretty we abused the fact that the Hipmunk oh come on oh well can't imagine that's so uncommon for detect to that's I got protect from the kingler - I'm really low and returns coming up to use a couple strengths here um we abused the fact that he almost always digs there to get a free two extra tox set up and fortunately strength will still work because just he would use returned because one frame what one for him less for the letter difference and not having to chance [Music] it's good to have the backup there after having that log section where we know what one or two damaged Rania's misted be disaster another quick question from donation sure you've got $25 from fries asking for the Pokemon runners what is your favorite final fantasy game favorite what Final Fantasy Final Fantasy Final Fantasy XIII the Japan the DF sport that's my favorite one for sure never played it eight but only because of triple triad that's one of the catchiest Final Fantasy songs I've also never played it the triple triad music is also booty-shaking music I don't be fast express my own bed there we go also the story innate is pretty good the the battle mechanics is not not good it's literally pointless [Music] okay so my current HP value is really important because I'm under half and this Umbreon has an attack and confused right but it'll be significantly discouraged from using them 10% each because I'm under half a lot of times you aren't under half here because our Charter dials are so good that they actually don't take enough damage which is funny but justified should go well this is the what the second X accuracy is for hello okay why we have it well I guess that fixes what I said earlier I thought she would never use it [Music] that was confused right 100% accurate it is again that's why fun but I think it still has the 25% chance to miss face phone yeah that's my man I don't think it has that in jet until I think it's just always going to her I don't think I've ever seen a Miss so yeah I feel like it could fail but I don't know ATandT again a heart of such very cat cuz I know you can't gentlemen mr. Jin one it's like oh that's addition oh wait no we can't John was on campus so like and fusion isn't a status so it can't fail yeah it's really weird how they handled that with confusion so it's like really bad if the Umbreon decides to use that because you just can't avoid it also gamefreak they there were other dark-type pokémon ieast ezel the Karen could have had wires wire Gengar and Falcons I lost a run to this marker at one time because I didn't know it had quick attack and I had like seven health oh wow also why was the mister visted Morty's gym literally the only new ghost-type pokémon all those replacements died still loves me another question from donations yes sure we've got $10 from sorry Anna Soros saying question to the runners the first time you played this game did you think you were supposed to name your arrival or was that just me also best Digimon is pretty Dynamite's um I know a lot of people thought you were supposed to name your rival the question marks or whatever but I didn't I didn't have that I might not have been paying attention maybe at that point I don't know just like I almost didn't pay attention and heal there ya have a different name for him that's synonymous with jerk we've got $25 from Tustin to one to one asking gold was my favorite Pokemon game as a kid so I had to donate during the pokemon run question what's your favorite region good question I like Hoenn a lot I know a lot of people aren't a big fan of all the water but I like the water as you know I'd actually have to stay CNO with what you can do and yes this is the second best track in the game it's bit what happened the first best one you listed two months the second best one you listen to twice I find it funny that lengths the only a lead for remember that you don't actually set up an X item on because he uses throw many cheated dragon eyes if that you just ice punch them I mean there were some instances before manip where you would set up a next feed on him v Gyarados used hyper-v you still do that with the stood up okay Bertha the other toto has to be tie with erudite also my so good for questions during this fight is fun okay with God's $50 from pop-tarts a ninja saying hey guys the question what's your favorite bug type in my housing can I get money be Mike game volume down a little bit I'm missing so many questions it's actually pretty loud during the battles yeah could be could be people could you plus question please oh yes the question was what is your favorite bug type and wise adult excite there for sure I think like they're super cool I don't like Pokemon in general but like there's by thermic Luka that's a weird way to say Java angel is actually a really cool like electric bug is an interesting type combination it's unfortunate for bugs his hair across the gist with clear best oh yeah though Eric Ross was my favorite but pretty sure that strength was paper due we've got $25 from Dan the man with no plan saying had to donate during the Pokemon generation that made my childhood question for the runners in the pouch what is your favorite Pokemon movie oh wait no not movie move move move as you're called is my favorite I don't know I like cold things sheer cold is literally the only one hit ko move that hits everything all others will miss the plane and also that man's gonna be surf because the original the animation cordage in one engine to just I used it so much that sound sticks with me like hyper beam animations really cool in general - I shoulda let me take that back Tippy's app from the most recent one because the name is so ridiculous [Music] I said for Gen 2 speedruns we done actually stop after beating the Elite Four so you have a whole other half of the game to play it's like the what's 75% marked is 60% more so more yeah pretty much I've no idea it's like two and a half hours the runs 3:15 45 minutes left that it's a fun fact back before we swap timing from in-game time to RTA you could just let the credits run and that was the perfect opportunity for a bathroom break yeah but now we gotta go pal we just we just you know get your insides accordingly yeah I love this part I mean especially as a kid like coming back here and like oh my goodness I have a whole nother region to do yeah it's really cool you get the throw back with all the old gym leaders - yeah exactly what the best games and stuff my favorite music in any Pokemon game do you hear that Nintendo we like multiple regions in one game and we've got $25 from Valentine saying the pokemon blue runs in 2015 are what got me into gdq events and I've been watching ever since really glad to have caught the gold run today my question for everyone other than pokemon trainer what pokemon profession would you have interesting um I bet the guy who like oh my god oh wow Santa sack bale genatech phil is so critical yeah that's insane Wow I've never had a fight that good ever that's crazy really cool actually so the guy who manages a safari zone I bet his life is very chill we just lies to everyone and you know this is the talking about the guy in the shadows making all the money off it does that mean you would have to have gold teeth in if you're him no not hammered the requirement not the okay got you this is a hypothetical kind of entity I don't know I would say Pokemon sinner but I don't think I would have the heart to see all this injured professor would be cool get to start all the kids on the journey nerd I'm skip that's come on you'll live your dreams everyone exactly do what you want don't let the naysayers prevent you from living your dreams especially the obnoxious ones like me so I have pretty good Ally for overall nothing to trawl happened except the fan it's heck even though I was under half HP that doesn't it was like a poke a guy got a really crazy Karen fight though like that never happens yeah that's possible Duncan especially at the critical yeah like what Santa thought felt critical of chance we have time for a donation here yes excellent because we've got $1,000 well add 1 67 think can we get some high for the amazing music in this game oh yeah I love you all we love you too thank you you're welcome you weren't talking to me we've got $25 from Admiral awesome saying as a guy I thought as a child I thought it impossible to beat any of the Pokemon games in less than 50 plus hours boy was I wrong it's so impressive to see one of your favorite childhood games get absolutely demolished good luck to all the runners and may the rng be with shoe you see folk a guy used the expeed there on the hyper beam turn from Garrity's recharge turn and now he's faster than our doctor or HIPAA worse the safety there it's much better to see Gyarados has to recharge as opposed to air attack they'll use anything yeah as peroxide - it's been flinch and if you're slower that can just wall you out for multiple turns - you're really unlucky yes you're never faster than Aerodactyl this feat ties the best-case scenario this is a fun strat we're gonna fly from Vermillion to Vermillion yeah you get the fly plane try the way off but that gets you all the way except I didn't call her did I oh yeah okay so that's fine it's fill in the right aisle this repeal count I'm gonna go to Rock Tunnel now and my rappel and the next one together I'll have exactly enough tiles by one if I do this dark tunnel perfectly I'm gonna do the hard way the hard version so he's gonna fight a trainer with a ma champ after he fights that trainer we'll need quiet time oh [Music] [Applause] yeah you could probably get in ok yeah probably one or two oK we've got five dollars from Gunners oddish the comments the comments is gunner I'm hoping that Golduck didn't give you any flashback it did involved here yeah I got the same one the same goal dogfight he got in practice and it was it was bad but so I walked up and talked to this trainer which stays half a second by not getting his exclamation point but it wastes repelled steps so it puts way more pressure on me to do this like actually perfectly so quiet time yeah [Applause] [Music] No [Music] [Applause] nice I think not okay that was good the box is pretty solid there yeah but I wasted like three steps so my Rapallo he's gonna wear out early here but that was still quite good considering and you'll notice that he stepped in to the Pokemon Center that is that that is his way point for teleport later on so that he doesn't have to do that again yeah that was a I was trying to do a bond class Rock Tunnel which is unnecessary fight ya want one grasp I'll get hers one tile twice this one's yep but overall quite a fast rock Tom Oh guys about to be heading over toward Kanto as well that's probably the part of the run that I sunk the most practice into is doing that fast like shaving maybe ten seconds off like average movement there some donations yeah we've got $25 from nito nito saying here's $25 because the announcement shows the best Final Fantasy game can I say I can't help having such a get a picture we've got $5.00 from crow saying question who is your favorite ghost type and why is it my big purple round Sanjay jar hey I like I like mystery vyas a lot it's a shame to me that Morty doesn't have a previous in this game Gengar so actually my second favorite Pokemon of also yep same I'd

has [Music] [Applause] you've got $5.00 from Joey - three - thanks phone ringing remember my super cool Brett Tata Myra Tata is different from regular Matata it's like Myra Tata isn't the top percentage of ratata clique does it have all zero TVs I know it's certainly to say that it's in the top percentage is inaccurate at best it's in the top percentage of the literal worst possible he's following Karen's words he's using the one he can't begrudge that I'm like if I were you know what eight or whatever hello old he is and I had a rat like that I'd be proud of him too yeah we've got fifty dollars from Dragon King saying keep up the great work Ohio my thoughts exactly okay so it's time for the best music and any Pokemon game in the next byte so twitch pac---- get your sour please is ready [Music] [Applause] [Music] only time for one more donation before that in excellence we've got twenty dollars from pulses saying had to donate during the only Pokemon game that I didn't have an official copy quick but important question Bulbasaur Charmander or squirtle and hi hi bubble sorry commander Charmander fight string Charmander right here we go nothing like being on but Shin didn't pick Bulbasaur what a surprise indeed nothing like be on good pace and let's get Melissa this music I have no idea what the space is but you know when you know it's good [Music] yes we've got $10 from Lisa at 63 saying hiya first time live watcher first time donating I've been watching gdq on youtube for a long time and i'm happy to finally catch one live and be able to donate every run so far has been amazing to launch awesome shop to all the runners so far and good luck to the runners now and all future runners also Bulbasaur it's clearly the best starter ever thank you Lisa and other 62 Lisa's anyone who thinks bowl of a store is the best starter have fun speedrunning a 10-1 with that it's real bad now in competitive pokemon on a son team uh Anna store Edina stores were actually really really good for for mobility to double the speed by that's all they're being best competitive gentlemen started probably so before it make everyone think is that okay guys gonna start his rut tunnel getting on I have to pass the loss put her in the game so yeah more serious time here for both day [Music] [Applause] [Music] got I've been lost yeah again that move is really difficult because it's not like the other trends we have some indication of where you are you're just comfy all these are nice specially got a rather fitting doing oh my god that's the last one in the game and I donate my max repels oh really sheets off the bottom are super balls and guys we've gotten five dollars from outcast thirty-two saying I was laying in bed and I heard a barking in the distance god I don't mind to check agdq and it was just gunner in Rock Tunnel no it was pretty good come on it was only to it that was a really solid rock Connelly but that last spinner is what medium grace isn't that her name I also know rebecca rebecca rebecca de also not on good terms with all rebecca yeah but that's the last butter in the game the only one I hit was a Douglas I'm happy about that yeah the ones I had control over I didn't I didn't head but I mean you have impact over it but at the end of the day it's just if she decides to hit you she's gonna hit you yeah it's really unfortunate big psychic types my favorite but I could never be a medium because I'm an extra-large [Music] I got a laugh out of that one for gutter yes I like I like that one that was one of my prepared ones maybe I should stick to more of those maybe we've got $50 from twitches one one one saying great run so far I love seeing you guys crush my favorite Pokemon game question for the runners and the couch what is the most underrated Pokemon and overrated Pokemon in your opinion overrated Charizard for sure I like Charizard but come on [Music] underrated I think I think pitch shot for me I love the job people people don't give him a chance I got to concur with gunner on Charizard especially before mega evolutions just statistically he's the worst so many weaknesses quad weakness to stealth rocks just almost a Bulbasaur's the venus tours the most underrated because both sorts of terrible venus was all right airplane do you know if they smell super possible for Rhydian no million four million I have no idea do you need them before them no I mean I have one left I've got to use that for alright somebody check they they for sure have them there one to quickly donate with yes sir no salt on too far does the were asking you a question does the Vermillion March sell super of health yeah any repeal any repair yeah they're both yeah I think folk I forgot to buy max repeal is that the the leak Center so he's gonna have to buy something though I heard somebody in the crowd yelled no repels no repels like blue males oh and you could use that mail to send a complaint to the whoever's in charge of stocking the stores and hey I'm a valued customer and you can't even have what I need on the shelves there are you now that's B Tech does cuter so repose yes they do I need them oh yeah you afraid [Music] I think your best option is still don't fall down yes that's too slow I think what N and Allah or other on either no sorry I was thinking cerulean is when we wave up babban yeah oh yeah all right round two of the question how about stroke it's always funny with you kind of like make a mistake in the pokemon run it's just kind of frantically trying to figure out how the solve it how to get the pieces back to go this happens way more often than you would think it can be kind of fun though when you have a run that kind of comes back together and yeah some annoying quick attack I'm sure some of the currents beat take you to them where the runs has been found that way do I find that I know surely it does have super repels that they can buy them there and that's why she mentioned the blue mill because Roland's blue eyes are huge we need to change this remember the pokai 84 PDQ crowd now I'm just very good right you're okay though yeah yeah that's the other side of it like good here this is going to arrest you that you're fine yeah you're not even up your night hours yep what was the do we know what the timeline is it was like 35 to 35 out of 239 48 oh yeah yeah we've got five dollars from KT frog two one seven saying in loving memory of my younger sister who passed away I hope these five dollars can help someone even a little a question for the runners on the couch what is your favorite champion or champion battle in Pokemon so far Cynthia prefer yep yeah not even close agreed Cynthia has the best music but Stephen is my name season he doesn't spell his with a pH but I can forgive him for that cuz he wears that really cool ask God he's like style polka guy passed in the last but around the game yep [Music] it was pretty Kantas pretty nice there's nonetheless spinners here so I'm liking Chris Wow Gronk you know yeah that was a hit oh that was a good one yeah nice patience that was really unlucky yeah do we even talk about spinner directions at any point we can I guess yeah it's like so when a spinner the the direction that a spinner can spinner link so she's facing down heard the fact that her next thing will be right as EE likely and then left and up are both 25% so but there's another factor for passing spinners which is how long it's been since they've spun and that's the more important factor when deciding whether am I gonna take this past or not so he had a bad direction but got a pause on an early spin so it was quite likely that he'd get past but she was trolling a lot they were down right down right down right yeah sit down and write or linked and then up and left her linked so if they're looking left then you're gonna try and pass them from above that's kind of risky [Music] also this trainer is a dirt bag on if you read what he's dead there's a cold blade until you retired for the other flight I'm pooping her pad he doesn't do that though now you should try to run win your fights with honesty and integrity at least your Pokemon battles the one I don't get in real fight but use your words it's always weird to me that every single trainer has full health Pokemon all their peepees already there it's like do you guys not fight anyone getting here yeah you're just wait second you decided simulation they're like okay he's coming our way getting places guys yep we've got five dollars from Polina saying have to donate during the pokemon gold run since koto is my child since I've enjoyed this run so much and Jodo is the gold standard but it's not the Platinum standard oh good point and platinum had Cynthia so god shape know it yet did I that's gin for Jim forsythia yeah this might used to suck before we manipulated Totodile but due to the gym leader order at having perfect attack and stuff the skull buck dies then we can set up on the Quagsire which almost always uses amnesia and then the Lapras isn't arranged with good attacks just a breeze the glow that has confused right it has come you should it is Wow earth what a joke I've never I've never seen ideas earthquake I've seen it's 2 percent tariff valve I think so yeah that's like so basically that means that I'm gonna have to heal now for red which means yep but it's it's kind of funny you don't really have to set up on any of these gym leaders to usually don't need to take damage because of that yep you basically have to not get wing attack +20 attack which is 1 inch for on blue and then you get a Heelys can't tell which is really nice that requires all kinds of good stats to even have a chance to get as the Gunners gonna get the machine parts after this fight and so is coca guy oh yeah yeah polka guy forgot one time it's one more than one more than one I didn't know that you have to repair the power plant issue to even be able to access the other third of the map you can't get to oh gosh with considering the Snorlax is blocking your path to enter Diglett tunnel which is the only way to get to Pewter City and the blockade that prevents you from surfing down from fuschia descent of Ireland doesn't clear up unless you serve up from Cinnabar Island to fuchsia but if you have to fix their power plant problem and this is why we stepped in the pokémon center before it good old Abra hope we're back you cannot yeah you can't fly to it you have to teleport together though it's really weird it's the same in red blue it's the only Center that you can't fly to like both games how does break it it's because it's not a town right right but it makes sense it's just weird yeah I think in the firered/leafgreen you can fly the best fun no you can't fly to mount moonstone or either oh forgot that earring we don't go there yeah but there is another rival fight there yeah I wish I wish you could you know you were forced to go see that I got a hundred dollars from anonymous saying no better way to ring in the New Year then watching Pokemon runs at agdq at work oh wait I mean listening listening to Pokemon runs at work let's see my Scottish colleague is paying more attention to the runs our work I don't know who this anonymous guy is but they've sent in so many donations to thank you indeed better than Steven and Cynthia combined we've got $25 from whirling saying Genting really was the gen that surely captured me into the pokemon world what's the chance someone will try and mimic the gen 2 hyper beam sound effect I've got another $25 to come if you do pairen opal you're denied a try you can do it if you want to do it I was pretty good do I need to call a doctor I'm not gonna lie even if there wasn't an additional donation incident if I wanted to try that it did sound kind of fun but I'll pass that's a tough act I wouldn't I wouldn't recommend trying to do it multiple times it would be rough I'll set shoutouts to surgeon Gentoo oat seeds are not there send in more donations and I'll imitate more Pokemon roots and stuff do it it's really nice not having to deal with the trash cans this late in the run amen yeah three hours in and I don't know why they use hands like they redesigned other Jen's why why leave the trash cans there but yes it's really weird bad feedback they had a lot of angry letters from kids yet but they brought it back in heartgold though yeah yeah and it was even worse yeah but then they made it super simple and let's go so I don't know they just haven't decided what they want to do with me but Italy they should leave it like that they were doing the best they can no I'm sorry hi I cringed at myself for that one okay there's no battle it takes me a second again yeah we've got fifty dollars from mom in Newport town saying I save some money for you and thought it would be in your interest to spend it for charity thanks mom thanks mom I thought you told her that you didn't want she said that but it was probably out of her own person if you accidentally tell your mom when she calls you that you want her to save money you actually have to call her back and say I was I was just kidding myself a funny because you don't have enough money to buy things because she takes the percentage she could potentially get you pink bow those so we need to figure out how to manipulate both and I'm gonna get on it yeah string Club you'd have to get back way does he give you your piece here do you have to go talk to her you got to go pick it up at the Mart it's a little of the little guy that delivers the stuff she's like hey I got it for you go to the Mart and get it and then you just go to the nearest Martin he gives it to you but usually you just get like berries and apricots and stuff that are just a little to no help yeah [Music] but now we mentioned this before it was before I was on the mic yeah call your mom if you haven't talked to her in a while see how she's doing if you came okay I doubt my mom is watching this Bella love you mom hi mom say hi to your mom's you degenerates my mom when I that left five misty yes this is a new touch last chance for Gunnar to see a shiny coming up please it's kind of crazy that you have to go through all that to get the card here just use it once in the entire game and let's say really annoying to use that thing yeah okay at least in Crystal is better value for the minute yeah and we've got dollars from anonymous saying if everyone watching now could give five dollars we would hyperbeam past one point five million raised and if you are unable a challenge you to share the stream every person counts hey K let's make it happen I remember I can do weird impressions of Pokemon moves that progressed yeah I'll stop again if you have but they do so superpose at the Mart yes okay I must but as that way you did let me know okay he just wanted to put the mustard on it yeah so we get to see the true power of return in Kanto like I'm gonna return this fan / proton that has a reasonably high defense like mid-range defense and HP and it just I mean this is actually really close to not killing but it just goes down it's a crazy move get your fur alligator has that really good attack to be able to get away with that is what 13 DB or better yeah 1313 DV opener max is 15 for those of you who which is the beginning yeah which is fate would have it is the lesser of the two Totodile that you get from the nip yep this toda has 13 attack which is enough to get almost everything that you really want out of your attack the biggest thing is that Whitney doesn't go down in one hit of the mill tank but you can move some pieces around a little bit and get an extra level by losing a little movement time we've got $10 from Jacque ms sank as pokemon platinum speed runner I had to donate for what you said thank you for that it was my pleasure it was a good one Thank You Kirk we've got $15 from sneaky snake saying chuckle is obviously the most underrated Pokemon Pete he does have the potential to do the most possible damage in a single strike chuckle is the one that has that but is having that power trick rollout thing in a triple battle and all kinds of things but it's interesting to to theorycraft ah yeah we've got $25 from anonymous I'm pretty sure these are song lyrics but I don't know this song I remember when there were only 150 of you well technically 151 if you are counted but I digress I guess I spent the best years of my life a little life surfing Cinnabar Island to get 1:26 revived and I missed the Pokemon Center I missed its music - and the way that Snorlax looks like lapis on water pokemon what happened if that's not it like some pristine poetry to me in such a deep stole that anonymous you know if I didn't know any better I would say that it's more than one person but you only the only one person could have the username anonymous so I still haven't talked to anyone twice this run I'm so close I always talk to somebody twice you talk to Jasmine twice today yeah but you're supposed to go come on wait didn't you say no to her the first time oh that actually so it's off his meaning but then it's actually true that happens more often than you would think movements a little awkward this whole guy loves a block here well I've locked myself on him yeah you almost expect him to move so that's like yeah yeah pleased in his retirement and he just wants somebody to talk to him trying to get past any time yeah so respect your elders so don't be mean to him I love the remixes of these these Jen one song yes for sure this is probably the best surf music in any game - yeah I do like battle the start music a lot and I like the bike music better than John one to ten one bite music like great if it drives you insane after all hell to happy we've got $5.00 from sickest min0 saying hyper beam train it's working oh yes but do it should I just do the hyper beam noise every times I think I think it was because you did the hyper beam lines or maybe you have to do it again I don't know we get a a clarification donation maybe speaking of which we have $100 from waterbomb things since you asked for it let's hear your best imitation of cricket UN's cry Oh also more puns please don't let those painters get you down old note they never get me down I don't think I think they're just too shy to admit it because they're young folks I'm an old man and I'm just at the point where I'm gonna be cheesy of dbi so cricket hoon [Music] [Music] [Applause] good and oh okay so that's the new incentive like both me and announcer lady can do impressions and you donate and say who he's bought one boy she didn't sign up for that if if she's fine with it if I know what they sound like oh I have I really just guessed on cricket Oona you hear that Sheen is more memes than you apparently oh that's not hard to do I thought you were the comedic relief get that doesn't mean I know me I have my own I help my own generic generic file of cheesiness you know some people try to use big words that they don't understand it an effort to sound more photosynthesis I'm one of those kind of guys I stole that one that's not even an original I'm sorry pickup five dollars from each Ella sing another five dollars to get on the Polka Train everyone get on it hi last chance for folk guides as he is shining it would be fitting it would be really cool no I didn't know you had to talk to he's literally living out of a cave now and you're like his first human interaction and how long you needed it I just wanted to see if it was China would have been what a made history captain so this is really interesting for those that are familiar with Gen 1 and for whatever reason haven't seen this game yet you'll notice that coca was in the elite force so it's like who's Manning this gym is his daughter so that's pretty cool she kind of its kind of his daughter yeah his daughter's photo which one is it I know it's like they all look alike I can only imagine for this random every run he's like ha ha you're wrong again not just kidding if it was random every run they'd be so fun oh my and they were all spinners I think I might be related to Jeannine I don't know god this is gonna okay I'm ready oh no I was coming that's not a pun no she go haha got you like that's epic we thought there was more to it because you've conditioned us yeah I was see I keep you on your toes I was ready to cringe so bad we've got five dollars from moot saying if I were to rate this pokemon gold race I'd have to give in the market nine out of ten needs more puns Thank You face the rallying behind him cheesy people of the world unite we got $5.00 from Akashi blade saying jumping on the challenge to donate five dollars I lost my father to cancer nearly 10 years ago so here's to hoping we put a stop to it once and for all Cheers Cheers we've got $25 from plate pun saying go polka guy go Gunnar here's a question have either if you ever run into shiny pokemon during run shiny pokies best pokies loving the run i have seen five trainings to pidgeys and an electrode in this game a Linoone in sapphire and a poly wagon crystal I have seen one I was running crystal glitched and you get cynical as your starter in that and it was a shiny simple [Music] if you like to see shiny sand speedruns the let's go game they're like considerably more common and you actually have to catch them for the game so it's a great great crossover for shiny hunters and speedrunners [Applause] we've got $5 from Lee's or 31 Thank You Camus who makes this best sound another 10 if anyone can imitate that which little the thing that looks like it's got a booger coming out of it a spiky rock spiky booger odd I actually don't know yeah I don't write I just pick a wild guess that it and you know this can be know I would differ step I wouldn't want booger rock on my shoes so we see a significant increase in level here we actually have to do a real set up this time of 2x tax yeah he was the former champion it's double the amount of exit tax TVs and the rest issues behind double wing attack means I would have actually had to heal would have had to deal anyway yeah even without the earthquake from the quad fire which is super rare all right I looked up the pukin muku sound [Music] yeah I was way off [Applause] they's exactly towards the damage range but it'll just charge slower being the finest [Music] you have to watch the HP bar go down for like 10 seconds to be missing them just somebody that know us knows what they're talking about when I explained extreme speed here sure so our k9 chooses the moves that it thinks will deal more damage based on your stat extreme speed or flamethrower and so if you have very good defense extreme speed does less damage than flamethrower so it tries to use flamethrower the reason that we can even attempt to get a heel of Kanto is because obviously extreme speed as a priority move and does a decent bit of damage so obviously with that you always have to heal for red but since this started out of the way manip has super good defense we never get extreme speed even with perfect special so if i'm not mistaken this is the only trainer in the game if not the only trainer in the run that cheats and looks at your TVs to determine what movies ah I don't know the thought is true but maybe the world that we fight and also he sends out right on in our k9 in a random order it's better that it when he sends out ride-on laughs yeah because then you stay one input because I had to go from return surf return instead of just retired or return return return return return and then one input and I got you one at Bastet we've got $30 from ana 239 saying dude Wrigley pup sound I just looked that one up too well I can I can sort of do Jigglypuff from the anime would that be that work that's better I need an adult I will save your ears to not try to sing like Jigglypuff got five dollars from the lucky passed saying I guess we all need to get five dollars right now so here it is hyper beam hog got $5.00 from separate a saying another day of the five dollar donation train let's go woo we've got five dollars from Wiggles to tuck thank by dollar train boy oh hey we got $25 from Justin dart saying $25 from the moms hi mom for the moms knocked on the ones okay um so I have to yep come for like one or two more but I'm about to do another dark tunnel and then the hardest part in the games all right we've got $25 from bears Oh same gold may not have been my first Pokemon game but I love watching you guys run it I'm Brianna's the most overrated Pokemon in my opinion whoa I don't know hey I'm brands underneath it yet he's particularly beefy like Vince's alright it's the only way coming up here for gunner is going to be the last dark segment and then the final phase of the game and the hardest fight so so serious time here [Music] almost right now if everybody in chat can start spamming charm yeah that would be of great help feed twitch chat spamming charm right I checked the time before I started this foot I think if I get even second progress up 320 it's pretty close yeah it'll be close but you should be able to get which was my goal for this run yep okay so this fight is extremely scary if you see thunder and it hits but not guaranteed - yeah so the way this works is Pikachu likes to use charm but sometimes it uses thunder because the Thunder you lose you have to heal until he doesn't use thunder but okay that's good setting up for things here yes okay okay come on big guy one more one more one more one more yes yes okay banoffee a31 Thunder as long as it doesn't crit okay yeah okay perfect [Music] quick donation sure that's all if all okay now we got $10 from El Cid saying if this gets read I want someone to do Snorlax is cry because it's still hilarious please simple and it is because like I can do store axed from the anime kind of - yes Donna Snorlax that was awful alright don't applaud that it was awful Belvin that sound gives me nightmares from the Super Smash Bros Oh [Music] we got five dollars from each Allah saying LD know what to think of all these pokey puns they are just so unexpected I just hope the runner right don't get Bulbasaur from them hey we're actually coming up on time for gunner they'll be pretty soon after the fight ends red is gonna say like dot dot dot and then the textbox is gonna disappear at the frame that that text box disappears by this time sorry Raylan the credits start basically we've got $100 from I have no name saying there's no better time to be homesick this pokemon gold run is just the warm bowl of soup I need how do we know it's horse to think I wanted to have no name but there's so many of those thank you nonetheless horse friend I hope you get to fill a better we've got $25 from DRP five to seven saying trying to get this in before the end of the run but who can best imitate the greatest cry done fist it sounds exactly like it looks I know I hate to sound crude but he pretty much just sounds like a fart [Music] okay I think I saw this first so you're gonna be burned five dollars from the link old saying I was trying to think of a Pokemon move sound I really wanted to hear but I think I just want to hear Jen too hyper beam again 20 more dollars if runners in doubt do it all together sorry to cut you off though but time time for gunner whoo that was at 319 so good John them 319 what 30 okay 25 25 that is e that is a good run are we ready to shred our vocal cords for charities guys all right everyone three two one excellent oh you got free 15 I don't think any of my three high premiums I've done so far up and remotely similar to one another either all right so poke guys coming up after he finishes this ride on off they'll be on the travel to the last fight in the game as well [Music] who my audience get to enjoy the poke I run now oh yeah hey we get to hear the gym leaders name one more time yeah that's so good I know I love the song it's easily number three for me Oh easily sorry we've got $20 from lucky Channel corner SHINee Gerudo says this basketball is really comfortable great I just realized we got $25 from Jarrah saying love watching Pokemon runs a cheetah cues there's another 25-minute if someone does the jinx cry I got this the keys are on for that ones yeah that's his he does it the best for sure we've got $100 from squirtle squad saying squirtle squirtle really putting my invitation they're ashamed oh okay well you've got your it's like two to one right now you're still winning [Laughter] [Music] got $5.00 from Lila are saying what a great race Congrats the both the runners special shoutouts this flop on the couch for being so hilarious Kevin all right time for poker guys mount silver come yeah this is about as hard as it looks I would today about it really is disorienting because the bike doesn't move exactly how you want it to as well and that can add to the getting lost if you walk into a wall it takes like extra time to turn to let you get off the wall and then there's not really many item balls to give you bearings for where you are but here we go right your opponent or Mele whereas not much later than that [Music] dear okay keep happening nice really good really good and but are you gonna make it to the end I think so it should and for those wondering why they don't get flashed on top of it just being slower to teach you literally it's like a five minute plus detour at least at least get at least project our yeah that's pretty bad especially as a water tape though Abra could learn flash so Tom charm charm charm charm charm jar Jar Jar Jar Jar Jar Jar charm charm a charm charm charm charm charm I didn't heal so if you need you to only use thunder that I forgot to heal when Pikachu's Riyaz that he can kill you with thunder he always uses the under instead of only 25% of the time oh we need that again but more charming charming charm charm charm charm charm chime chime chime chime chime chime chime chime charm charm charm charm charm charm charm charm Hey two more charms are really just charged the last is that you shouldn't I don't think you respond but now because he thinks Thunder will kill he will use Thunder forever until it misses though he have used all this for sores and hope it misses and and if for whatever reason Pikachu runs out of thunders he switches the Thunderbolt and then your face will a softlock you can charm charm okay it's obviously over a hurry the highlight so if you're looking for a reason to be discouraged to run this game this this is it this is the worst but honestly like if this were like closer to the beginning or even you know even midway through it wouldn't be as bad but it's literally the last fight in the game is there is or the roughest and there's nothing you could do to control it really you also wouldn't normally save before it if you're on like a record pace that you just go in and you have to hope yep hope that you win a coin flip yep basically if you get thundered on the actual last turn you can finish off the Pikachu heel on the Snorlax and go from there but yeah still super slow yeah and the Snorlax will be spamming bodyslam and that could potentially paralyze and really yeah we've all been there yeah it's a lot better than the old strats freeze the Venus tour yep back in the way back in the day the strat was ice punch being a store twice hope you freeze it one of the times do all your setup and yeah and you you would urge why earthquake Pikachu right yeah that's what it was yeah earthquake I just found ya yes this area Sonics can fill bodies plan but usually Amnesia's yeah I think he just forgets the bodyslam sometimes because of neva [Music] a few last donations before polka guy wrap them gets the beat Fred oh yes time for one day alright we got five dollars from Captain Blood saying hopping on this train we got $50 from mighty crab at same time to pay up I guess Congrats gunner nice thanks we got $25 from loosing marauder saying thanks for everything speedrunners this is a great cause do the kingler sound cool Kiku wait that was the Cookie Monster I'm sorry like come come oh yes no it's in the enemies were like that was better I'm not gonna lie I just really want some cookies hey awake you're already on time for poke I just gotta go through the dialogue here and I'm let's give it up maniac and polka guiity for also these are good credit credit music - yeah for sure yeah [Music] no I don't care about my age again Wow hi everyone [Music] thank you
