Pokemon Black/White Any% FAQ Q: What are you trying to do? A: Beat Pokemon Black/White as fast as possible! Q: Are you playing on Emulator? A: No Q: Why are you using Lillipup over Tepig or Snivy? A: Recently Lillipup was discovered to be faster and more consistent than the previously faster Tepig route. Snivy sucks at completing the game and is just used as a cut slave. Q: How is Lillipup faster and more consistent? A: Being able to eliminate encounters on both Route 1 and 2 is a big advantage that Tepig can barely manage to do but Lillipup can do at a much easier rate. Stoutland also isn't a "heavy" Pokemon and skips an animation vs. Emboar during each battle. It also destroys the early game, Cheren 3-5, Elesa, Skyla, AND Bianca 5 at a much faster and easier rate than Tepig. PP management is also not much of an issue with Lillipup either in comparison to Tepig. Q: What are the stats on Lillipup? A: Adamant /w 31/31/30+/0+/30+/31 are the runnable stats on Lillipup. Special attack doesn't matter on Lillipup so it doesn't matter how high the IV is on them. Q: What are the stats on Snivy? A: 30+ Attack /w a non -attack nature is perfectly fine for Snivy. It's only used for 4 fights anyways. Q: Why do you pick the girl? A: Cause she's cute and the boy is ugly in this game. Q: How do you guarantee no encounters? A: It's based off of my movement as well as when I start up my Nintendo DS. Unfortunately you can't really replicate the same movement + date's that I use though due to RNG Manipulation being tied to DS Mac address. Meaning someone out in the world could have the fastest Nintendo DS for Pokemon Black/White Speedruns and not even know it. Q: Is Black faster than White? A: Both are considered to be equally as fast. White doesn't get Rough Skin on the Dragon Gym Leader and Black gets a better fight using Reshiram vs. Zekrom. This almost completely evens out the timeloss at the end.
