Japanese Pokemon Blue is not the same as US Pokemon Blue.
IronInvoker47 21 Dec 2021 10:45
Thank you for making the times the way they are! I was afraid we;d be seeing some top-tier time requirements when this set was being developed.
Maximdraco 21 Dec 2021 12:29
First in Japan was release Pokemon Red/Green japanese, later Blue as a third game, later yellow. International Red/Blue are based in japanese Blue, not in content, but in sprites and code (so they share bugs and glitches).And thanks for the comment IronInvoker47, the plan of the original dev was only 1 set for a 3 hours run, but I decide to expand it more, the mayority of runs are under 2 hours, but I fell this times are good for amateur runners.
Maximdraco 22 Dec 2021 01:05
Not forget read the forums for important information
AkaMordred 23 Dec 2021 18:46
That's a good idea. I'm not going to try it but it's a good set. GLHF for those who's going to try it :D
Renan007 27 Dec 2021 20:44
Platinado! Obrigado pelo set incrivel Maxidraco :) nunca imaginei que faria uma Speedrun de Pokemon xD
chocolatiel 28 Dec 2021 07:16
Platinado! Amazing set, thanks to developers! Please more sets like this one! My IGT 3:20 u.u

hey idiot, speedrun the game, except you can't read anything
ryuzakix 29 Jun 2022 23:39
So, we use the speedrun site glitchless times but with no way to use Nidoran and Mt. Moon manips. Feels kinda lame.
Maximdraco 30 Jun 2022 02:03
I don't know what you mean, the strats in international Red/Blue works here, they are the same in code, or at least they should. Any trick or glitch is allowed, the times are only to be more fair with no proffesional speedrunes.
ryuzakix 30 Jun 2022 09:25
Nevermind, I was kind of asleep and saw different numbers LOL. But anyway international R/B use the RNG manipulation reset, shouldn't the one session avoid resetting?
Maximdraco 30 Jun 2022 12:30
The set works as long you start with a fresh save, deleting the existing save file before runing the game, if you start a new game with a previous save, the achievements shouldn't trigger
Maximdraco 7 Aug 2022 01:34
Update: Now the set accept any possible route
TheRealBillHicks 19 Apr 2023 13:42
Is there a way to play this in English?
adamjohnny5 21 Apr 2023 23:44
started to do this set, but then saw it was one session. i dont have that kind of time...
Maximdraco 25 Apr 2023 12:57
TheRealBillHicks, I don't think there is a translation patch for it
ManyHours 10 Jul 2023 07:18
Nice, got a retroarch crash at the very end of the run, real fun here.
Slackot 8 Aug 2023 04:23
Wait, how is someone supposed to approach the set with no Nido manips?
cykette 8 Aug 2023 06:36
Well, that was a fun couple hours. If anyone's wondering how to do the set without the Nido manips, Nidoking isn't the only Pokemon that people speedrun with. I used to speedrun Gen 1 and there's definitely plenty of ways to get it done.

Look into the Alt Pokemon runs. There's plenty of them. My run of choice was Charizard Only and manips/glitches were not necessary at all. I know because I routed and wrote the beginners guide for it.

There's many ways to go about doing the set if you know a little bit about how the game works. Nidoking isn't the only behemoth out there, he's just the fastest. Do you really need a 1h45m route to complete a 3.5 hour achievement set, though?
Maximdraco 8 Aug 2023 21:11
This speedrun subset isn't for fully optimized runs, so there are multiple ways to approach the challenge, Nido isn't necessary, but anything else than doesn't require resetting the game is fine, specially because the times are based in any% glitchless runs, any glitch is allowed but they are also not necessary
