Yo! looking to run this game in the near future. does anyone know of a decent GB EMU that I can get a hold of as well as where I can get the game files from to run the game?

"BGB" or "Gambatte Speedrun" are the preferred Emulators for speedrunning GB / GBC-Games. I personally prefer Gambatte Speedrun (current version "gambatte-speedrun-r664-theothers.zip").

BGB: http://bgb.bircd.org/#downloads

Gambatte Speedrun: https://github.com/pokemon-speedrunning/gambatte-speedrun/releases

thanks a lot Bamboo, this will be a massive help :)

I also added a part about emulators in the Game rules for anyone interested.
