[Category Proposal] Crystal All Trainers

Gelderland, Netherlands

Posted this at the request of entrpntr since I had already posted this in the discord as well.

Requesting a category for Pokémon Crystal All Trainers. Similar to how All Trainers is being done in later generations this means beat every trainer in the game at least once.

Rules: Timing is by RTA, starts at New Game and ends when you defeat your last trainer (count should be 377 trainers). Refights with trainers are not required. Only 1 statue has to be cleared in the Rocket Underground Hideout (since all statues result in identical grunts). Saving and quitting (S + Q) is allowed. Clock resets are allowed. Runs must be done on English version. Glitches are not allowed.

After confirming the 377 number independently, I've added the category and the run to the leaderboards.

For verification, having something like the counter used in this run is very useful. Reviewing these types of runs in full won't always be practical, especially on a category extensions board where things aren't so serious.

It's not a big deal if we ever have to remove a run because a trainer was accidentally missed, but I'll think about if something like requiring some type of counter is a good idea, since it benefits both the runner and the verifier in providing confidence that all trainers were indeed fought.
