After lunch, I will begin speedrunning Pokémon Emerald and tweeting as I go along

Some clarifications: I’m going to play through as quickly as I can but I have no frame of reference for how long it will take. This might take multiple days, but I’ll continue this thread appropriately. Gonna try to put in 6 hours today.

@leftymaher has set the over/under at 22 hours

We’re off. Starting with Treecko

Apparently Mudkip is the best for a speedrun but I can’t do that to my boy

Just beat May and her Torchic

Treecko is level 11. Just caught a Poochyena

Need a Ralts

4% encounter rate. Wasting time. No Ralts

Caught a Slakoth

Beat Roxanne. Her Nosepass was very bulky but no match for Treecko

Caught Ninjask. Will troll elite 4 with Shedinja

Treecko evolved into Grovyle and I got Peeko back to Mr. Briney

Caught a Tailow. Necessary for my upcoming battle with Brawley

Meant to say Nincada earlier

Taking a break to go to the park and get my daily outdoors time in. Will fight Brawley when I get home

Save time: 1:39
Badges: 1
Pokémon: 6

I need a good fighting, dark, and ice type for the elite 4 later.

Thinking Haryama, Mightyena, and Walrein should get the job done.

Also don’t really think Shedinja will be useful for the E4

Speedrun is over for the day. I’m going to watch the final quarter of Packers vs. Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, then watch Wrestlemania. Will resume tomorrow

Speedrun resumes after work today

Workday and 5.25 mile run at 9 minute mile pace done. Firing up Emerald for 30 minutes before dinner

Caught a Makuhita

Took Tailow to level 17, beat Brawley, and acquired a Knuckle Badge

Returned the letter to Steven and caught a Sableye. Dinner time

Time: 2:13
Pokémon: 8
Badges: 2

Will resume later on

Back at it
