  1. 1
    Q: What does CH'DING mean?
  2. 2
    A: CH'DING is the nickname of the in-game traded Farfetch'd you get in this game. This is an Alt Pokemon speedrun using that Farfetch'd the beat the game.

    Q: Where do you get CH'DING?
  5. 5
    A: CH'DING is acquired in the trade in Vermillion City. I have to complete Nugget Bridge before getting access to Vermillion, but I'll still get it before Misty.
  6. 6
    It's not actually faster to get it before Misty, but the rules for Alt Pokes suggest that if you can get a Pokemon before Misty, you must do so in order to qualify as proper Alt Main speedrun.

    Q: Do you manipulate the CH'DING? If so, what are it's stats?
  12. 12
    A: CH'DING isn't manipped, but as an in-game trade Poke it always has the same stats. It has IVs of 20 HP, 25 Att, 21 Def, 15 Sp Att, 20 Sp Def, 24 Speed with an Adamant nature.
  13. 13
    This is a manipless speedrun, so Squirtle is also not manipped

    Q: What item is it holding?
  16. 16
    A: It's holding a Stick. It's a specific held item that boosts the crit ratio by 2 stages for Farfetch'd. That means all my moves have a 1/4 chance of critting, instead of the regular 1/16.

    Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator?
  21. 21
    A: No, I play on a DS with a capture board installed

    Q: Why do you choose Squirtle as your starter?
  24. 24
    A: Cause it beats the start of the game the best. I actually think Charmander might be faster for this category since you don't fight Misty (and therefore don't get Water Pulse early), but I've never run with Charmander and I cba learning it when it's the boring part of the run.
  25. 25
    It would also be more risky, since beating Brock with Charmander is more likely to die. Additionally, the Rival having Blastoise later on would be worse to kill than Venusaur for Ch'Ding.

    Q: Why AREN'T you doing manip for starter stats?
  28. 28
    A: Because the "manip" in this game involves following the instructions of external tools
  29. 29
    Q: Why do you name yourself and Squirtle One letter?
  30. 30
    A: Because it's faster

    A: https://www.speedrun.com/pkmnfrlgext?h=Alt_Main_Pokes-farfetch-d&x=9d8o81w2-wlewjgxl.810po6ol (I actually think Exarion had a 2:27 or something that he never submitted cause it was on emulator, but I can't remember the exact time. Hopefully I beat that anyway)
