BelgiumWe've received quite a few category proposals for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet in these forums.
Currently, which categories will exist and with what ruleset is being discussed in the Switch Pokémon Speedrunning Discord. You can find that Discord here: https://discord.gg/9MCc8E83fC
Note that any categories with very arbitrary goals (such as most of the ones already requested in these forums) will not be added to the main leaderboard, but to a Category Extensions leaderboard for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet. Our policy regarding those runs is to require people having done runs of those categories before requesting a leaderboard for them. We ask you to refrain from requesting a category without having a video displaying said category.
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.
Why is data on my profile such as the games I follow and how much I moderated what game, etc. publically available without a way to remove it?
As we all know, this is a hot topic right now. Mutliple people in the speedrunning community get accused of immoral or even completely illegal despicable behaviour or acts.
I have seen some individual communities that remove aforementioned runners from their leaderboards, while others don't. I think it would be a good thing to have a site-wide policy regarding this, as this may get out of hand really quickly otherwise (even if the policy is to say that each community should decide on its own).
My personal opinion would be that leaderboard moderators should not become moral arbiters and not touch those runs (while removing such people from Discords, etc.). That is also what the Pokémon speedrunning community has recently decided to apply.
I'm sorry if this got mentioned before, I couldn't find it.

Good evening,
I've been trying to retrieve the exact setting for emulators for a game. It seems to only say whether emulators are banned or not. It won't say whether emulators aren't banned, but hidden by default.
Is there any way to retrieve this info?

I'm not sure how you settled on assuming the color selection for the layout for Pokémon Quest is reasonable, but you don't need to be a UX expert to know that yellow and awfully bright green don't mix well for readability. My recommendation would be to use a better color schemes generator than random.org.
https://coolors.co/ is probably the most known and usually helps a lot for beginners.
