if you have done an any% run you can post it here and we might make a new leaderboard, so far there was no interest in it so it doesnt exist yet

You have to submit them yourself now, since the category has been created already leaderboard is here https://www.speedrun.com/pkmngscext?h=Alt_Main_Pokes-Espeon&x=wdml4n4k-j846eg2l.5lm9n281

Approved and added the run.

• Reply in this thread to request a new Alt Main Poke subcategory if it isn't currently on the leaderboards (use the request format at the bottom of this post)
• There must be at least one (1) completed run before the subcategory will be created
• See this thread for how to submit proposals for other new categories; this thread is specifically for handling new Alt Main Poke requests, which follow established common rules (and thus require less information to get added)

(NOTE: See the leaderboard rules for either Crystal or Gold/Silver for what qualifies as an "Alt Main Poke" run.)

Include the follow information in your requests (a simple bulleted list is fine):

• Main Pokémon used * - (specified by the final evolved form at the end of the run)*
• Applicable game(s) * - (i.e. Gold/Silver or Crystal)*
• Link and info for completed run(s) * - (if possible, include all of the following info: (1) link to video, (2) name of runner, (3) time (run length), (4) platform used, and (5) date the run was performed)*
• Link to route document * - (optional)*

• New category proposals should be submitted through the Discord server (use the below format)
• There must be at least one (1) completed run of the category before creating a proposal thread
• Category guidelines can be found here
• Common rules for all categories can be found here
• Requests for new Alt Main Pokes subcategories should be submitted here instead

See this thread for an example category proposal. Also see the rules pages for existing leaderboard categories for an idea on the format, or if you just want to copy some common phrasing for your submission.

> NOTE: New subcategories for Alt Main Pokes should be submitted here instead.

Thread title should contain "[Category Proposal]" and the proposed category name (e.g. "[Category Proposal] Any% No ACE").

• Proposed category name
• Applicable game(s) (rename to "Minihack info" if it's a minihack)
• Quick summary of goal/restrictions
• Category type (i.e. Glitchless/Glitched/Execution Segment)
• Timing method (i.e. start and end points of the run)
• Category-specific rules (including technical clarifications)
• Link and info for completed run(s)

• Link to route document
• Other general comments about the category

• Be specific if something other than English Gold/Silver/Crystal
• Subcategories will be added for Gold/Silver and Crystal if category applies to all games
• Submissions for "minihacks" must include hack's homepage and/or a description of the hack (but avoid directly linking to the ROM)

• Explaining the category in simple English should take ~100 characters maximum
• Save technical explanations/clarifications for the category-specific rules section

Include as many technical rules and clarifications for the category as needed.

Some specific things worth noting (depending on category type):

• Glitched: Are there any specific glitches banned? (e.g. Save Corruption, ACE, Instant Victory, Underflow, etc.)
• Glitchless: Are there exceptions for specific glitches? Acceptable in rare cases if good justification provided. Examples: Catch 'Em All "Dupe Glitch Only" (saves ~10 hours, glitch is extremely well-known casually); "Start with TM47" and "PC Jack" minihacks (point of the hacks is explicitly to allow 1 specific glitched mechanic).
• Execution Segments: Must be amenable to console (e.g. soft reset between trials instead of loading savestate). Must also include a link to a savestate (or .sav) file and/or provide detailed info how save should be prepared.

• If possible, include all of the following info: (1) link to video, (2) name of runner, (3) time (run length), (4) platform used, and (5) date the run was performed

@40wattrange you can now submit your run here https://www.speedrun.com/pkmnrbext#Any_No_Item_Underflow

With the "recent" split between generations in Pokemon Speedrunning we decided to update the Discord Thread so it automatically gets you to the new community server!

For those of you who don't know what Discord is, you can read about it here. It's very friendly and very easy to use, and it's absolutely free to both test and own! Discord is available both as an in-browser program and a fully downloadable app.

There are dedicated text channels for each category within generations 1-3, so you'll never miss any brand new routing or discussion, as well as centralized voice channels. No longer will races require a host and a messy call set up, simply jump into one of the dedicated channels and chat away!

If the specificity of text/voice channels are a little intimidating, there are also general text/voice channels if you just want to talk about anything/everything!

This is probably what you are looking for

"Is there advantage streaming my runs to twitch over just recording them?"

• streaming is not required, just recording is fine

"Are the Pokémon from the Celedon game corner valid in a No Catches run?"

• looking at the rules, id say yes, but if you wanna be sure join the discord and ask in the rby-cat-ext channel "Using Poké Balls, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, Safari Balls, or the Master Ball to capture Pokémon is not allowed."

"Are you allowed to pause a run? like pause the game and the timer to step away from the computer?"

• timing is by RTA, so any pause do counts toward the final time.

The reset is supposed to take 3 seconds, you are probably missing the 4 frame window to corrupt the save properly. Highly suggest to join the discord where more people can help you

even when you dont move the RNG advance so no, you cant stop or take your time, it must be done all in one. if you are using gambatte, the official emulator, you can make savestate at different parts of moon manip to practice short section before putting them all togheter

i also suggest you to join the discord linked on this page, there are a lot of active runnerse ready to help you

If you are thinking about the select glitch, there is a leaderboard in the category extension for it

https://www.speedrun.com/pkmnrbyext#Any_No_Save_Corruption_RedGreen_JPN

yes

"Platform Rules Console All variants of Game Boy Tower have inaccurate emulation, and are therefore banned (except specifically for the Game Boy Tower categories). The Super Game Boy peripheral for the SNES runs at an inaccurate framerate, and is therefore banned. The Super Game Boy 2 peripheral for the SNES runs at the correct framerate, and is allowed. If Game Boy Interface (GBI) is used in place of the original GBP disc for console runs, modifying settings that affect run timing such as the length of the reset delay is not allowed. (GBI users must use GBISR for runs they wish to submit to leaderboards.) Flashcarts such as the Everdrive are not allowed for console runs. The only exception is running minihack categories on flashcarts with MBC3 RTC chips (such as this one from BennVenn), which is allowed, as there is no other console option. Fake/reproduction cartridges and/or consoles are banned." From the old psrwiki website, it's now an unwritten rule.

This forum isn't really active, you should join the discord if you want to hear from a mod

Flash carts are not allowed on the leaderboard, so no your runs won't be eligible for submissions. You need a original cart or you can use the approved emulator, gambatte-sr

this is already a category extension https://www.speedrun.com/pkmngen5ext#Catch_Em_All_BW

if you are capturing your switch with a capture card i suggest to keep obs open and screenshot the live footage of your stats on level up so you can input them once you have a cutscene or a cinematic to save time

Looks pretty fun I have a question tho, what's the point of that timing start, why not just start at new game?

The new categories have just been created so you can submit your runs already, and we will soon start moving runs from the cat ext to the main leaderboard.

If you want to try your hands at it, we recently renovated the guides in the new PSR GitHub Wiki: Red/Blue: https://pokemon-speedrunning.github.io/speedrun-routes/#/gen-1/red-blue/main-any/

Yellow: https://pokemon-speedrunning.github.io/speedrun-routes/#/gen-1/yellow/main-any/
