A pacifist run seems like it might be interesting, but I think that you shouldn't be allowed to kill anything except bosses, even in cannon levels. Also, this would most likely be on the category extension page if it's added

what does this have to do with speedrunning?

I have been going through and learning the speedrun strats for this game, and I was wondering if this would be faster.

When you get to Mushrise Park, you get early hammers. Now, instead of getting the 3d red shells, you go right to Dozing Sands. After Dozing Sands, you go back and get the 3d red shells on the way to Wakeport. (You would collect the pieces in a different order because you are coming from the back)

This would eliminate needing to go through the 3d red shell piece area twice. Hopefully this makes sense, and I'm not confused on something ._.

I believe you can actually skip both if you use the raccoon suit

Anyone know how this happened, and if we can exploit it?

Why is it English only? English is usually not the fastest, and everyone has access to each language.

okay, thanks

If I accidentally hit a checkpoint or collect a coin, do I have to reset?

What's the server name of the PSMD discord?

But if you skip all the missions, how do you get any levels? Won't you get one-shotted later in the game for story bosses?

Well, the only problem I have with stopping the timer on credits/all mysteries solved is that there is literally no real gameplay after chapter 8, only mashing and cutscenes. I've been stopping the timer when the epilogue starts. (And I have now gotten the time there sub 3hrs yay)

Celestics, I noticed in your pastebin, many of the dungeons that are with each mission are different for my game. For example, my Raichu mission is in Uprise Range, not in Cave of Training... This means that we can't rely on the dungeon's points to rank up. So... how can we get around this?

So... I just noticed in the starter select screen that some pokemon have 130 exp to their next level, and some have 191 exp to the next level. Does this mean some level up faster than others? If so, would it be worth picking pokemon with fast level ups?

I guess that's right, it's pretty similar to the classic mode. By the way, what's egg boosting?

I like the idea of using mellow mode, but abusing the skip level badge is a bit boring. I was wondering if there could be a category with mellow mode, but banning the use of skip level badges.

I'm going to try this run out, and I don't know if I need RTA or in-game time. Also, is it after Chapter 8 or after the Epilogue?

There isn't a specific patch you need to have, and the new 3ds has no effect on the run
