Crrool

Hi, I'm Crrool. I've been a speedrunner for about 6 years now. I've speedran a ton of different games, mostly focussing on RPG's over the years. Since 2018 I started to focus on the Pokémon series to prepare for the Pokémon Series 100% Race (an annual race of all Pokémon Games). Ever since I was hooked on the speedrunning the series and I started to try more and more challenge runs. In March of 2020 I decided I would start uploading some of these challenges to youtube and thus, this channel was born.

On this channel, you'll mostly find challenge runs I've done, as well as videos where I talk about the different challenge runs and some notable things about these challenges. Challenges include things like All Trainers, Weird mains to speedrun the game with, 100% categories, and so on. The commentary videos may include things like Top 10's, difficult sections, tutorials, and so on. I hope you enjoy the videos and if you want to see these challenges live, be sure to drop by on Twitch!

    I'm so glad you mentioned Porygon, as he is indeed so annoying to get. Plus he isn't so interesting. All that trouble for such a meh character. Ummmm, for Abomasnow, you can level up Snover with a bunch of Ice pokemons? or with a Psyduck coming along? Or a Sunflora who has Sunny Day, if you don't mind the million messages about the sun hurting her. Also, you can use Snover's disadvantage at your advantage against all the non-ice pokemons, if you go about with him alone. If you're trying to reach a rescue, you can always carry a Sunny Orb or Rainy Orb for that specific floor. For Kyogre, you can go with Masquerain with a Bless Scarf, +speed if rainy, Kyogre CAUSES rainy weather, you'll be faster against him, and faster everywhere you go WITH Masquerain and Kyogre in the party afterwards, + Masquerain can deal Ominous Wind (or Blizzard, or Silver Wind) to help you if a Monster House springs on you. In Sky Stairway, if you bring along Drifloon and Drifblim set on Go After Enemies, your life is a lot easier, especially with all the ghosts hidden in the walls. They can get them for you, before you even know it's there. Your Kecleon strategy is just perfect. 🎉

    Playing the remake and coming back to this, one thing that is perfectly clear is that the original red and blue rescue team, as great games as they are, have zero respect for your time. -Almost all evolved Pokémon never join you, so you have to do ludicrous amounts of evolving, leveling each of them individually and tracking down all the incredibly specific evolution items. - Several legendary Pokémon that appear at the end of dungeons having recruitment rates below zero, so even if you come there with a friend bow at level 90, there's a big chance you went through 30 floors for nothing and have to go through them all for another chance. - You can only have 4 Pokémon at once, so building your team happens at a snail's pace. - Having to go through western cave, a 99 floor dungeon, TWICE to recruit Mewtwo? What were they thinking? - I get that Mew and Mewtwo are meant to be special, but Mew being such a low spawn rate AND having a low recruitment rate is not necessary. It appears so scarcely you may wonder if the game is glitching out and preventing it from spawning properly. It's that rare. Plus what the game never tells you is that it can only appear on initial spawns, so unaware players may wait out endless turns on each floor until the winds come with a tight belt trying to get it to spawn, but it never will that way. Recruiting them all was much more of a tedious grind than it needed to be. It honestly feels like they intentionally made it that way for padding purposes to artificially extend the length of the game. I'm glad they fixed so much of this nonsense in the remake.

    I totally agree with the top 10, and I have all of them, so I'm only missing some of the grinding ones. If there was a Top 20, surely they might be, probably in this order, Jirachi, Snorlax, Delcatty (if not your starter) (it's mainly bc Skitty is too strong in Joyous Tower), Rapidash, Mewtwo, and the other three pseudo-legendaries: Tyranitar, Salamence or Metagross. Lapras is also a thing here, it's not so common to appear and in a non mandatory place. I'm trying to remember which other pokemon took a lot of grinding, I remember Cacnea, Wailmer, Teddiursa... May be one of them. Am I missing someone?

    So risky to do the Meteor Cave without X-Ray or something to move through water. I remember Deoxys getting stuck in squares far from land. Then, while grinding XP there (1000 from each one), I always took a Mobile Scarf, X-Ray Specs and a Tight Ribbon.

    Legendary Pokémon in this game are dumb because most are in this spawn in a random dungeon on specific floors with holding an item in a addition to generally meh requirement rates and also like 10 of them aren’t even in the base game. You have to use wonder mail.

    The difficulty is usually not so much by how strong each encounter is but rather the sheer amount of opponents you have to beat without getting to heal. There are some broken mechanics though for sure. Linked moves and overlevelling can certainly make bosses quite easy

    It might be, but even if it is it would be against the spirit of the run I feel. Generally I like the idea of getting it as early as possible. Additionally the rules are defined such that you should have the pokemon (or its direct pre-evolution) before beating the 2nd gym if possible, so you'd have to do an extra trip to adhere to that rule (and you wouldn't be able to fully evolve until after nugget bridge). Because of that I doubt you'd really save all that much time even if it is faster
