I am so glad i finally seen this... I had this game as a kid on my GameCube and am now looking around at a bunch of speed runs for old games i played and seeing if i wanna speed run any of them
Never thought I'd see Ursaring used in a speedrun, but it makes me happy, as Ursaring is one of my favorite pokemon of all time :D Great work with the run!
Wurf 152 Yeah Ursaring is great for this game because of its high attack. Paired with Espeon and it's high special attack makes them awesome. I'm currently replaying for fun and they are my main sweepers.
lol I didn't know you could just give up on the opening sim battle. Also didn't know you could progress the story by losing to Exol. I love learning new things from speedruns.
Serebii has a good walkthrough of XD (Trainer names are different however in some cases) but I'm not sure if they have a table. Either way great run dude! Sub 4:40 would probably be possible with GOD RNG with the current routes.
At it's moment this game character designs looked really not like pokemon. But seeing them now they fit right with X, Y and specially Sun and Moon designs, Lovrina fits right with the blond hair lady scientist of S/M. Thats a fun thought.
these types of Pokemon games i love, (like Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2 before Coliseum and Pokemon XD: GOD) the ones we get nowadays are really shit, so i hope this type of system comes back in future Pokemon games, like a system that allows you to travel to every map in previous and current gen games, making the game free-roam (i gather this would be better so people could go around the world of Pokemon collecting who they think is THEIR best Pokemon) as well as making all the Legendaries from every game possible to collect, just hope they don't do them as DLC side quests (would piss off a lot of people), I would also like a future game like this to have a bunch of character customisation to keep to original looks, be able to hang out with people, join them in Pokemon hunts anything really. if you like what i said, then leave a like :P
Wow, great job on this. I don't understand the 4:40, is it you added the length of the ending cutscene onto your 4:38:46 time? Also, is that Ardos fight enough for you to restart for a positive or at least neutral speed nature for Espeon if you continue these in the future? Obviously it's a pain seeing as it's 1:30 into the run and there's so many variables for good Speed and good Sp Atk.
4:40 was the in-game time (shown at the end), which is what these runs used to go by. And Espeon's nature always has to have the positive in Sp.Atk, so you would never have plus Speed. Minus speed is okay as long as the IV isn't bad. Ardos' Swellow has random stats every time, so it still could have been slower, thus not worth resetting for by itself.
I've attempted 3 runs using your guide with a 5:32 best, and maybe I'm missing something but it never seems like I have enough revives from gorigan to citadark. Is the detour to gateon's shop deemed too slow? sorry if a dumb question
Is the idea that if you're in a position where 3 revives sn't enough, you're already out of contention to beat 4:40 and you need to rush over to citadark asap in order to even have a chance?
If you need a few extra Revives, there is a chest on Citadark that's not too slow. In the room where you push boxes into the lava, just push the very first one you see (which is not typically required), and the chest that becomes available contains 2 Revives. There is another chest with 2 Revives in the crane room a bit further on, you need to step on a panel to fall down to it and it's kinda slow.
Ry Guy wow thanks for the quick reply! yeah it wasn't even so much that I was down a revive or two, just that I doubted myself with the route, possibly worried about a silver wind crit or the like
Alot of people didnt like this game or colosseum but by God I love them! I still play them from time to time!
Yami Yant Saem scenario here! I'm so glad I have both Colosseum and XD
Best Pokemon games imo. Better than every main series game. Wish they'd make another.

When he made the Shadow Vulpix faint instead of catching it, I died on the inside a little...

It's faster to turn rumble off when you use colognes on teddy. it's a minor timesave, but I use it in my runs, though my Pb is 6:02 lol.

You beat this game in 4 plus hours and it took me a week to beat🙃

Thanks! Yeah I was using a table I found on Bulbapedia, but it isn't very easy to interpret, and for all I know could just be based on guesswork.
loved the perfect zook 2!
Holy shit this was awesome to watch! Damn nice job at the placement tho!
Mugiwara hah I still have, I can play anytime
