Idea for absurdly difficult run categories

I was watching some werster runs, and I thought about how streamlined the run was. So, I had an idea.

These are more just for fun, kind of as a challenge.

Pokemon HGSS 100% - Almost complete pokedex, except for those that are impossible to get, such as event pokemon, version exclusives, and other starters. This would also include completing the battle resort. Pokemon HGSS 110% - Same as 100%, but all pokemon must be leveled to 100 Pokemon HGSS 1010% - Same as 110%, but must have all shinies at level 100.

A more realistic one: Pokemon HGSS No RNG - Self explanatory.

Tell me what you think, if any of you do these, I would love to see the times

Love the no Rng idea. Rng just ruins the luck of the game I think. - if there was a non-Rng category I would make an attempt

We do have manipless categories that do not allow RNG manipulation. https://www.speedrun.com/pkmngen4ext#Manipless_HeartGoldSoulSilver

Your 100% might be something reasonable as a speedrun, but the leveling to 100 idea and the shiny thing would take absurdly long to pull off (and would be extremely tedious), thus nobody would bother trying those out and finishing a run. Those are more very-long-term playthrough goals than they are speedrun categories, even for an extension board.
