Pokemon Sapphire FAQ Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator? A: Yes, I don't have a sapphire cart and I don't like the game enough to buy one. It's VBA, which emulated GBA games perfectly. Q: Why do you choose Mudkip? A: Because the Mudkip evolution family is the best for the speedrun, without it, my time would not be nearly as fast. Q: Do you really need to use Mudkip specifically, couldn't you use some other Pokemon? A: Yes. Yes I do. Otherwise I will not challenge my World Record. Q: Why do you catch Kyorge then? A: Because that fool goes in hard Q: Why Sapphire over Ruby? A: Kyorge beats up the Elite Four faster than Groudon. Up to the Elite Four, Ruby is actually slightly faster, but overall on average I estimate Sapphire is 49 seconds faster. Q: Why did you keep reseting after getting Mudkip? A: If it looks like there is no reason, it's generally because my stats were bad. I need to have great IVs in attack and special stats otherwise I can not complete the run fast enough Q: What stats are good and what stats are bad? A: I check my stats as soon as I pick Mudkip. I will reset unless I have at least 13 attack, 9 speed, 11 special attack. Q: About what are the chances of getting a Mudkip with stats you will keep? A: I will keep about 1 in 9 Mudkips. Q: Why do you want to be on low health? A: To try and activate Torrent, which is the ability of Mudkip and its evolutions Q: What does Torrent do? A: When Mudkip is below 1/3rd of it's max health, its Water type moves are boosted by 1.5x making him much more powerful, and thus faster. Q: What is the current World Record? A: The current world record is 2:02:23 game time, 2:03:46 real time by MexiricanBassMonkey Q: Why do you use ingame time and not real time? A: Because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMGf1V3MMM Q: Why do NOT you choose the girl? A: Because the male is actually faster, because the female counterpart has lower defense stat pokemon. Also she is NOT cute :3 Q: Why do you use Frame 5? A: Because frame 4 sucks in this game. Q: Why do you name yourself and Mudkip 'I'? A: Because it's faster to name them one character for text purposes, and the letter 'I' gives a nice spin as if the game was self-narrating Q: Are there glitches in this run? A: Nope. Q: I just heard you orgasming like crazy and I couldn't see why...are you crazy? A: There are several trainers in this game that spin like crazy. It's either because one caught me, or one didn't >_> Q: Isn't this a luck based run? A: Yes, there is luck involved. Yes, I am still running it. I love pokemon and will run it regardless :)
