Yes it is allowed. Can soft reset by holding the A, B, start, and select buttons at the same time or by pressing the reset button in the switchVC menu.
I don't think the bios are too hard to find. Just Google gbc bios and it should pop right up.
that sounds like something that wouldn't be on the main boards, but maybe the gen 1 category extensions would be a better place if people think its a good idea https://www.speedrun.com/pkmnrbyext
I think we've talked about it (when people ran this game LUL), not sure what the outcome was from those conversations. there will probably be some things to decide on, especially with mew since you can encounter mew, but mew is physically impossible to catch so would we just have to encounter mew? or just skip mew entirely? im guessing the category wont be made until someone does a run of it
picking up a jp copy is hella easy tbh. you can get one for like $10 on ebay (which goes for most jp games)
but at the same time, its a small game so theres not a need for more moderators especially since theres been no activity for awhile
it wasn't removed, emulators were hidden by default im guessing. turn the emulator filter on and you'll see the run.
im wondering why there is a "Time without loads" time and a "Time with loads" since loads dont effect this game and are the same every time even between different devices. also, one other question, is timer and audio optional? or just audio? it isn't broken up too well in the rules :P
Take a break. What your experiencing is like artists block, you know what time you want to get but you can't get yourself to do it or you over work yourself which will just have mostly negative results. I've been there with speed running myself, ended up taking a 3 month break and immediately started seeing improvements. Your break doesn't have to be that long, just as long as you feel like it.
