The Nintendo Power edition for Gold/Silver (https://www.docdroid.net/h274/nintendo-power-2000-pokemon-gold-silver.pdf) was the only edition for the GB/C games to come with a convenient gameplay checklist (pages 16-19), so you can quickly check to ensure you complete the video game in a wholesome manner endorsed by the developers ("if you accomplish everything on the list, you've done a good job of covering the essential game play elements"). The rules for Nintendo Power% follow those for Any% Glitchless, with the additional restriction that you must complete the following 82 checklist items (they need not be completed in order, as they are only a "loose guide to major events in the game"; also, enforcing a strict order might give the false impression that this is not a serious speedrunning category for serious speedrunners). =~=~=~=~=~=~= NEW BARK TOWN [ ] Choose a starting Pokémon from Professor Elm's lab CHERRYGROVE CITY [ ] Pick up the town map from the old man ROUTE 30 [ ] Get the Mystery Egg from Mr. Pokémon [ ] Receive the Pokédex from Professor Oak CHERRYGROVE CITY [ ] Fight the first duel with Rival NEW BARK TOWN [ ] Take the Mystery Egg to Professor Elm's lab [ ] Receive your first Poké Balls VIOLET CITY [ ] Defeat Falkner, the Gym Leader, and receive the Zephyr Badge and TM 31 [ ] Pick up the Mystery Egg from Professor Elm's assistant in the Pokémon Center SPROUT TOWER [ ] Get HM 05 from the Elder ROUTE 32 [ ] Get the Old Rod at the Pokémon Center RUINS OF ALPH [ ] Catch three Unown to earn the Unown Pokédex AZALEA TOWN [ ] Help Kurt save the Slowpoke [ ] Receive the Lure Ball from Kurt [ ] Defeat Bugsy, the Gym Leader, to get the Hive Badge and TM 49 [ ] Fight the second battle with Rival ILEX FOREST [ ] Catch Farfetch'd and return it to the Charcoal Maker to get HM 01 [ ] Get TM 02 from the person in the middle of the forest GOLDENROD CITY [ ] Pick up a bike at the Bike Shop [ ] Receive a Radio Card at the Radio Station [ ] Get the Coin Case in the Underground Path [ ] Defeat the Gym Leader, Whitney, to get the Plain Badge and TM45 [ ] Pick up the Squirtbottle in the woman's house ROUTE 36 [ ] Water the tree with the Squirtbottle to clear the path [ ] Pick up TM 08 from the man in the road ECRUTEAK CITY [ ] Receive HM 03 from the man at the Dance Hall [ ] Pick up the Item Finder at the house [ ] Defeat the Gym Leader, Morty, to get the Fog Badge and TM 30 [ ] Fight the third Rival Battle OLIVINE CITY [ ] Get the Good Rod from the Fisherman [ ] Meet Jasmine in the Lighthouse [ ] Get HM 04 from the Sailor CIANWOOD CITY [ ] Pick up the Secret Potion at the Pharmacy [ ] Defeat Chuck, the Gym Leader, to win the Storm Badge and TM 01 [ ] Get HM 02 from the Gym Leader's wife LIGHTHOUSE [ ] Heal the Ampharos with the Secret Potion OLIVINE CITY [ ] Defeat the Gym Leader, Jasmine, and receive the Mineral Badge and TM 23 LAKE OF RAGE [ ] Defeat or catch the Red Gyarados and get the Red Scale [ ] Meet up with Lance and follow him to Mahogany Town MAHOGANY TOWN [ ] Destroy Team Rocket's Hideout [ ] Get HM 06 from Lance [ ] Defeat Pryce, the Gym Leader, and receive the Glacier Badge and TM 16 RADIO TOWER/UNDERGROUND [ ] Pick up the Basement Key from the Fake Radio Station Manager [ ] Fight the fourth Rival battle [ ] Rescue the real Station Manager in the Underground Path [ ] Get either the Silver Wing (Silver) or the Rainbow Wing (Gold) from the Station Manager [ ] Receive TM 11 from the woman in the Radio Station ICE PATH [ ] Pick up HM 07, which is lying on the ground BLACKTHORN CITY [ ] Defeat Clair, the Gym Leader [ ] Find the Dragon Fang in the Dragon Den to receive the Rising Badge and TM 24 NEW BARK TOWN [ ] Pick up the Master Ball from Professor Elm VICTORY ROAD [ ] Fight the fifth Rival battle INDIGO PLATEAU [ ] Battle with the Elite Four and the Champion, Lance NEW BARK TOWN [ ] Get the S.S.
