Here's a quick update on some changes and discussions we've had the past couple months: The rules surrounding Gambatte-Speedrun are official and out of their grace period ; this has been the case for a little bit now, but worth mentioning.

No.

Please refer to the rules posted on either the forums or the speedrun.com leaderboards for future inquiries.

Try not to make multiple posts in a row like that, and instead try to say everything in one post if possible.

For emulator usage, please refer to the speedrun.com rules on what emulator to use.

There's also a Raticate and a Pidgeot route around somewhere for sure (more akin to what you're suggesting), and I'm pr...
