For some odd reason, I went to change my profile picture, and I edited my profile and clicked save, but it didn't change. Help please!
I too have had this problem and I have been getting the jolteon. I have also been having troubles preforming nido manip, even though i can consistently get it on BGB.
The in game timer is not inaccurate, but because the new route uses 3 save+quits, we don't use IGT because the time taken for resetting wouldn't be counted. And, yes, the runs can't be segmented, even though saves are allowed. I hope I have been of some assistance.
I personally use W, A, S, and D for up, down, left, and right, N for A, M for B, comma for SELECT, space for START, r for Reset, and H for split (J to reset livesplit).
As of now, every category uses some version of the RNG manip, but if you want to, you could do glitchless with no nido manip, moon manip, and cans manip. You could still get a run off using the beginner's guide in the guide section, but it would be significantly slower than the RNG manip route. If you have a PC, you should use Gambatte-Speedrun, which is located in the resources tab.
