[Category Proposal] Crystal - No Centers/ No Marts
4 years ago
Gelderland, Netherlands

So here I go again, bringing another category over from a different gen. I'd like to do a request for the "No Centers/ No Marts" category for gen 2. The setup is similar to the one from Red/Blue seen here: https://www.speedrun.com/pkmnrbyext#RedBlue_-_No_Centers__No_Marts

The goal of the run is to beat the game (start to red) without the use of Pokémon Centers (including free heals) and Marts (including anything else related to shopping). General glitchless rules apply. Category rules would be as followed:

"Timing is by RTA, where timer starts at New Game and ends as the last textbox is cleared after Red is defeated.

You are never allowed to heal at a Pokémon Center. You are not allowed to use any skippable free heal, including: Healing at Elm's Lab Healing bed in S.S. Aqua Healing house on route 26 PC heals (Radio Tower, National Park, etc). Losing a battle

You are never allowed to buy anything. This includes from Poké Marts, vendors in the Goldenrod underground, the Game Corner and any other means that result in spending money. Having mom buy items for you is not allowed. You are not allowed to interact with the Mart vendors (for example to obtain the TM for Return or Frustration)."

Thanks for the good write-up. Approved and submitted the run.

Rules may need tweaking in the future in case they don't cover something, but you captured everything I could think of, and the intent is very clear.
