Pokemon Stadium 1 Complete Game Speedrun in 27:05:27 (1/3)

I've since beaten this run. Please refer to this link for the updated run:    • Pokemon Stadium 1 - Complete the Game Spee...   Completing the game is considered as doing all the cups and Gym Leader Castle to unlock and defeating Mewtwo, triggering the credits, in both Round 1 and Round 2. This is my speedrun of that in 27 hours, 5 minutes, and 27 seconds. Imported pokemon are not permitted in this speedrun (makes it way too easy/boring/too hard to clarify rules), so only rentals are allowed. This makes some of the fights incredibly stupid and difficult, but interesting at the same time. Crushed my estimate mainly because of fewer loses than expected. The hardest part of this run is at the end, Pika Cup Round 2. With rentals only, it's one of the most difficult things any Pokemon game presents to the player in my opinion. I spent many hours trying to devise strategies to give just the greatest chance to win, which is no more than 10%, maybe for some of the fights. The reason is the level gap, you only have level 15s and the gap to 20 is huge. For reference, the last Fishers Alakazam 2HKOs the rental Chansey. There is just about nothing you can do. This run was played on a PAL Nintendo 64. For complete reference, if done on NTSC, the time would be about 24:06:49 For reference, I did this run in one sitting. It was not done in parts. That means I played for 27 hours+ straight, and I enjoyed every minute of it. This game is a classic =) If you are wondering it's uploaded in parts, Youtube kept deleting the video when I uploaded it fully. Some sources say no video can be longer than 11 hours (even though I have one), so I gave up and put it in 3 parts.
