Ninjask Only - Pokemon Emerald

Rules:
1. Only my starter in battle
2. No items in battle, except held items
3. No glitches, exploits, or save states
4. No movepool evasion-boosting moves before level 100*
Rule details:
-- I make no attempt to have the exact same rule details between generations.
-- I am allowed to manipulate my starter
-- I play the game at 4x game speed
-- For fair comparisons my Pokemon have perfect (or near perfect) DVs / IVs
-- I am allowed to catch HM users - I can use all field moves
-- Evasion boosting is allowed if the move is not obtained from the Pokemon’s movepool. For example, using Mimic or Mirror Move to boost evasion is allowed.
-- Surge's trash-can-puzzle is automatically solved
-- The bike is allowed in gen1 & 4, banned in gen2, and allowed only to bypass terrain in gen3
-- Saving between league members is allowed
-- I can pause the game and timer to take breaks
-- Items obtained with the ability Pickup can only be used if the starter obtained them
-- The footage is sped up & slowed down to match the pace of my narration
These Rule details apply only to generation 1:
-- All battle-mechanic glitches are allowed (glitches that occur outside of battle are banned)
-- In generation 1, I'm allowed to skip Marowak with the Poke Doll

If you're new around here, Venomoth is a Psychic/Flying type, you can't change my mind.

    Oh man, this thing so badly wishes it had been born a few years earlier, to hang around in Critsburg with the likes of Persian and Electrode

    Venomoth Fact #18: At Venomoth's full unrestrained speed, it looks like a blur to Ninjask in the same way Ninjask looks like a blur to us.

    The first gym is going to be extremely difficult isn't it

    Seeing speed boost activate every turn is going to make the time interesting. I’ve thought about actually calculating how much time is lost over the course of a run through Drought/Drizzle/Speed Boost

    Here is an idea Scott. Make the arrows for the nature up and down dark like the numbers so you can see it well. It's very hard to see when it's faded like that.

    Why offer us comment fodder when we can remind you of your own words in the Gloom run (I think) when you said "If I ever use Cut, someone check me into a hospital, I need help"

    "I know you may have thousands of hours doing solo challenges but I downloaded and played Pokemon Showdown for 3 competitive battles 6 years ago and the team I ripped off some more competent person had speed raising natures on their sweepers. So basically, you're wrong"

    It is really nice to have a turn counter in the bottom left. But i think it is broken. It stops at 6.

    No disrespect on the speed lowering nature but if you already knew you wouldn't be using special moves why not go for Adamant?

    I liked how Steven's intro was handled with Ninjask zipping in, seeing Steven's team showing up, then Metagross takes it out.

    As I sit annoyed at the ridiculously loud sound of the cicadas outside my house, I see that you uploaded a run. With the cicada pokemon.

    I watched/listened to your entire Emerald series recently, as I was out of work for 2 weeks with head trauma and couldn't do anything, not even stare at a screen for a long time, so I just put on the playlist, closed my eyes and listened to you talk about obscure pokemon mechanics and strategies for at least 4 hours a day. Cool vids 👍

    Speed is the most important stat in pokemon, and Ninjask is the fastest pokemon in the game, so I'm sure it can use that speed to get a world record time! Right?

    We should talk about the transition from Winona to Mt Pyre more because it was the smoothest most satisfying thing ever

    Oh second attempts in Emerald? I must have missed (or forgotten) when that started but that's great! A bigger sample size really gives this more of a scientific approach.

    Fury cutter is really underrated especially on bug types, it’s 95% accurate and builds up pretty quickly, especially in later gens. More consistent than rollout at least.
