Please refer to the above post for background on why the rules are changing for this game. There are no active runners for this game that do not play Pokemon Puzzle Challenge, thus there was no need to also post the poll here.

As a result of these changes, the following times have been removed from this board:

Normal

Vyseoflegends9002 (“Vyse”) 4m13s 4/27/16 (banned emulator – PlayGuy)

Easy

Vyse 3m04s 6/8/18 (banned emulator – PlayGuy) Vyse 3m21s 4/27/16 (banned emulator – PlayGuy) Vyse 3m36s 3/21/16 (banned emulator – PlayGuy)

To summarize the changes to the emulator usage rules, here were the OLD rules:

We use SpeedRunsLive's rules for emulator usage. This means that Visual Boy Advance (VBA) and VBA-M are currently banned. Please see this FAQ: http://www.speedrunslive.com/faq/#caniemulate

And here are the NEW rules, effective immediately:

Effective March 26, 2019: --New emulated runs must be done on one of the following approved emulators: -BGB ( http://bgb.bircd.org/ ) versions 1.5.7 and up -Gambatte ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/gambatte/files/gambatte/ ) r571 -Gambatte-speedrun ( https://github.com/Dabomstew/gambatte-speedrun/releases ) r649 and up -Bizhawk ( http://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk.html ) versions 2.3.1 and up with the Gambatte core selected --Emulated runs previously submitted must have been done on a version of either BGB, Gambatte, or Bizhawk. --If a verified run is discovered to have used an emulator that is not approved, the run will be removed. --To verify that an approved emulator is being used, runs must satisfy at least ONE of the following requirements: -The emulator window must be fully visible on your video. -The run’s comments must list the name and version of the emulator used. --To capture the window in OBS, use a Display Capture.

If you have any concerns over these new rules, please let one of the mods know.
