New category proposals
2 years ago
Belgium

Hello everyone. We are open for any proposals in regard to adding new categories to our BDSP category extensions leaderboards.

Please post these requests below this post.

Some of the rules before requesting a new category:

  • You must have completed at least one run of the proposed category.
  • The goal and the restrictions should not be too arbitrary. The goal of the category should have some appeal in a casual sense of the game or just be a common meme.

Please also request Alt Main Pokes requests here if you have completed a run of this.

Please specify the ruleset that is used for your category precisely, in order for us to be able to copy them over easily.

Should you have any question, join the Pokémon Speedrunning Discord and discuss it in the Category Extension channel for this game.

I'd like to propose Catch Shaymin category (like Catch Arceus in DP).

(ENG) Timing is by RTA, where timer starts upon confirming language selection and ends when the ball starts the "caught" animation for Shaymin. (JPN) Timing is by RTA, where timer starts upon choosing a Japanese language and ends when the ball starts the "caught" animation for Shaymin.

Here's my PB:

I also ran catch shaymin, but with a different ruleset. This one ends the timer when you've successfully escaped flower paradise, in order to prove you haven't softlocked there.

Hello, I'm sorry about this message, but is it possible to propose a catagory without a run ? I don't really speedrun, It is just something I thought about to be honest.

Oh well. Too bad.

Would it be possible to add a category for Battle Tower? I did a run of it using the same timing method as HGSS Battle Tower. Notable differences are that the in-game bgm needs to be muted to go faster; and also the ability to have multiple teams ready in the PC ahead of time.

One additional rule would be that the run must be done on a fresh streak (i.e. starting at Battle #1, as opposed to 50, 99, 148, etc.). This is because Palmer's dialogue changes after the initial streak of 49.
