A: This game has an interesting encounter mechanic involving encounter route. The encounter on each new route is reduced to 1% for the first 6 tiles on regular routes, the first 7 tiles in Viridian Forest, and the first 8 tiles in Caves. Q: Does gender affect anything like in Gen 2? A: Picking the male trainer is slightly faster than picking the female trainer by an input and a couple of text frames from certain characters. Q: You're at red health, why don't you heal? A: Squirtle has an ability called torrent. Torrent boost your water moves power by 1.5× if I have less than or equal to 1/3 of its maximum HP remaining. This ability can save quite a bit of time in many different sections of the game, so you'll often see me go into fights with very low health. Q: Why Any% instead of Round 2? A: Do you really want this marathon to be that long?
