this can apply to any generation of pokemon games.... But why is there no category for, or runners running to "beat all trainers" rules would be simple minor glitches to move around the map faster are allowed but avoid the major game breaking stuff please and the goal would be to beat every trainer in the game at least once each (some generations you can get the trainers numbers and stuff... that's a huge waste of time just one and done) and the timer ends upon beating the last one and it would make sense to me that it would be the last of the elite 4 but it doesn't have to be... also you can finish this run with any amount of pokemon and any amount of items so no this is not a 100% run just an "all trainers" run.
Finally I'd love to be able to say "I'm doing this run every night on twitch!" but I can't say that because I'm a viewer of speedruns but not a runner of them... Sorry.
Because this is a meme category. There are leaderboards for Pokémon meme categories here : http://forums.pokemonspeedruns.com/viewforum.php?f=151&sid=2cee64d529016f5421f66fd84d91b6de (although they are sometimes incomplete because some people don't add their times, but it's also the case on speedrun.com leaderboards anyway)
If mods were adding all meme categories on speedrun.com, there would be a shit ton of useless leaderboards with very few runners in, All Trainers being one of them. I mean, you already have 4 categories, 250+ runners in the Glitchless leaderboard, why would you add a bunch of random leaderboards for max 5 runners each ?
