No items in battle, except held items 3. No glitches, exploits, save states, or RNG manipulation 4. No evasion moves before level 100* Rule details: -- *In gen1, evasion boosting is allowed if the Pokemon does it through means other than learning the move by level up or TM. For example, using Mimic or Mirror Move to boost evasion is allowed. (This exception is to keep ranking consistent with my legacy videos.) -- I am allowed to manipulate my starter -- I play the game at 4x game speed -- For fair comparisons all my Pokemon have perfect (or near perfect) DVs / IVs -- I am allowed to catch HM users - I can use all field moves -- All in-battle glitches are allowed in generation 1 -- In generation 1, I'm allowed to skip Marowak with the Poke Doll -- Surge's trash-can-puzzle is automatically solved -- The bike is allowed in gen1, banned in gen2, and allowed for bypassing terrain in gen3 -- Saving between league members is allowed -- If the solo Pokemon faints and I choose to blackout it counts towards my reset counter -- I can pause the game and timer to take breaks -- The footage is sped up / slowed down to match the pace of my narration -- The ability Pickup can only be used if the starter has it Patreon:   / scottsthoughts   YouTube memberships:    / @scottsthoughtspokemon   Twitter:   / psychicflying   Twitch:   / scottsthoughtspokemon   Illustrations by   / sarinavail   Thumbnail art by   / brianlsart   STAB: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wi...
