Pokemon SoulSilver Any% Glitchless - FAQ
 
This is a speedrun by the way
 
Q: What are you playing on, is it an emulator?
A: Nintendo DS
 
Q: What's your PB?
A: 3:33:39
 
Q: What is your goal?
A: Record of the World (WR is 3:33:08)
 
Q: Why SoulSilver?
A: Whirl Islands is faster by about 2 seconds in movement differences. It also gives me the option to get the Whirl Islands Candy.

Q: Will you get Whirl Islands Candy again?
A: If nothing goes wrong, no, as it is only situationally worth it. It's actually one of my main timesaves to skip it.

As to why I chose to play this game, I just loved playing it when I was younger, and never stopped replaying it. Certainly my favorite pokemon game, and my pick for best pokemon game.
 
Q: What is Any% Glitchless?
A: Beating the game (beating Red) using no glitches.
 
Q: Are there glitches in this game?
A: Yes, there is tweaking, which saves a significant portion (1.5 hours, about 45% of glitchless) of the game by cutting out from Morty to Tohjo Falls, and the first 7 Kanto gym leaders if you are doing glitched speedruns. But i’m not using glitches in this category.
 
Q: Why do you name yourself and the pokemon you catch one character?
A: Because it's faster to name them one character for text purposes.
 
Q: Why did you choose the girl instead of the boy? Are you that kind of incel gamer?
A: No, the girl is faster by 8ish seconds because Lyra’s cutscene in the catching tutorial is silly.

Q: Why do you choose Cyndaquil?
A: I use Cyndaquil because it is the fastest of all starters in the first 3 gyms.
 
Q: What else do you use/catch?
A: I do Voltorb Flip for Dratini and Abra, get the borrowed Spearow (named Kenya), catch Raikou.
- Dratini gets Surf, Waterfall, and Whirlpool.
- Abra skips Route 35 by Teleporting to Violet City.
- Kenya is used for Fly. 
- Raikou is the real main of this category. It's the best pokemon to speedrun with in this game.  

Q: How do you know that you're getting x? How do you know that x is not gonna happen?
A: It's all part of the RNG Manip. I know what will happen as long as I do movement correctly.

Q: What are Cyndaquil's and Raikou's stats?
A: 
Cyndaquil: 4/23/21/28/5/31 Rash
Normal Raikou: 17/23/17/27/20/28 Modest
Backup Raikou: 26/5/3/29/13/31 Modest

Q: Why is your movement so weird?
A: It's because I'm manipulating RNG to get what I want.

Q: Why are you resetting so early?
A: Because I messed up RNG.

Q: Couldn't you have just taken the death and fought x again?
A: No.

Q: Where can you save time over PB?
A: Basically just need better luck. PB starts off really poorly with bad Falkner and Bugsy splits, bad Misty because Golduck confused, trash cans, and forgoing Whirl Islands candy this time (risking the ranges against Bruno and Brock)
