I may just be stupid but, shenanigans got a 1:58 something at sgdq 2015 when running 151 pokemon but it says his record is 2 hours something. Did sgdq not count as a run?

It's all good, yo.
If you wanna get in to this game, you'll have to wait until its release later this year, or run the Unity Web Player-based prototype from 2013. The prototype has a category of its own, of which I and AMVX are the only moderators (me being the only real active one). You're welcome to try and run the demo, and as long as your timing follows the guidelines, your runs will be verified, no problems.
