Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Makit FAQ 

Q: What is this?
A: Doing a speedrun with Makit, the in-game traded Makuhita in Rustboro City.

Q: Is this some faster alternate route?
A: No, this isn't faster at all. Just an alternate Pokemon run.

Q: Why are you doing this then?
A: After doing Rocky in Crystal, I've very much liked the idea of doing some Alt Poke runs, moreso than anything else so I can do some good routing, which I really enjoy. I also like the idea of In-Game traded pokes, but there aren't too many that are early enough in the game and interesting enough to run with.
Makit however, fulfils all of those criteria, so thought I'd give him a whirl. (the only other one aside from Rocky is Kazza in Sinnoh, which I'll probably do at some point too...)

Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator?
A: No, I'm playing on a 3DS (original) with a capture board installed allowing me to record game footage

Q: What do you trade for the Makuhita?
A: Slakoth, so gotta get one of those.

Q: What stats do you need?
A: Luckily, the Makit comes with perfect Attack every time (Brave Nature, 31 Att IV). While speed IV matters a lot, anything is runnable, so I'll just take whatever.
 
Q: What are the hard fights for Makit?
A: The only problem Makit really has is that it's *extremely* slow. As a result it has a general accumulation of stuff by getting outsped by most everything. Wattson is probably the hardest fight if you don't have really good speed, but everything around that area can do you in.

Q: What's your aim time?
A: No idea what a good time would look like. But I'm also not gonna grind for a good time, just finish 1, maybe 2 runs and be happy. I think it might actually be possible to beat my regular PB for this game though, lol (I only did like 2 runs of that, and they were less than a week after the game released, so obviously with a scratchy route)

Q: Why the girl?
A: Changes the natures for the rival fights, and Brendan has better natures for me in the second fight (though worse for the 4th, but Rival 2 is more important)

Q: Are you gonna use Makit for the whole game?
A: I will switch to Kyogre for the end. I considered taking Makit the whole way, but you're basically forced to catch Kyogre anyway and the end with Makit just isn't fun. But I am gonna use Makit for the section you usually do with Lati@s.
