Oh great, this means we'll have to hear rotom's commentary in the anime during Ash's gym battles :'^

What's your favorite turn based game, since I figure you seem like someone who's into a lot of them?

The people of Aevium are very needy.

There's a lot of grinding and tasks to go through in the next part, but this'll do for now.

It's slightly terrifying to see this dark and edgy Linoone evolve into a dark and edgy bipedal pokemon. But overall I'm happy with all the edginess I'm seeing. Especially Marnie. Also Bede is pretty awesome looking, and has a sick theme-

Not really surprised. Keiz really good, especially considering half of his runs have issues and he ends up having to improvise. He's also pretty entertaining, even when he's just on the couch and not even running himself.

Thanks for the mentions friends, and yeah, Taska linked my video walk through for E18 above. However, if you wanted a text guide, the E17 100% guide linked here works pretty well aside from the fact that there are some small changes here and there and it doesn't include E18 of course - To make up for it you can also use this to guide you through most of Episode 18's side quests when you eventually get to that point - Good luck on your 100% run, regardless of what you use to get through it though.

Since we were talking about speedruns yesterday, do you have any favorite runs? Or even any favorite runners?

More eeveelutions can only be a good thing. I know we're not quite at the release date yet, but I'm somewhat impressed with their trailers so far. They've at least managed to tease certain aspects of the game, and get the community guessing compared to how Sun/Moon was handled. Hopefully I don't have to edit this comment later.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. I suppose a frame counter is probably the only way track this accurately then. It feels really weird but I'll take your word for it.

It could be it's own category then. The reason I consider it to be worth putting in a TAS category is because in the past we'd consider emulated runs where the player would use slow mo controls given by the emulator to be TAS runs, so to me it'd also make sense if the opposite were true. A frame counter would work or maybe you could lower the speedup down to a certain amount where the majority of pcs out there could achieve the same rate.

Speedrunning tends to have different categories. So using the speedup would fall under TAS or Tool Assisted Speed run, which is usually very diverse category with a wide variety of times because of that. Its also not a category that receives a lot of attention compared to regular, % runs and even glitched runs for that reason since it's a bit inconsistent.

Oh my bad @Arkadius I actually read that the wrong way.

Looking really good. I'm a big follower of pokemon speed running and I indulge in it myself occasionally. I also can't help but laughing at the time because it's pretty similar to the amount of time USM speedruns average(lolcutscenes). Oh and I read on the other thread that you don't use the speedup function, which is pretty normal, but have you considered using it and just considering it a TAS run(Tool-Assisted Speedrun) just to see how quickly you can finish?

Looks like we'll be coming up to my absolute favorite part of the game soon.

Honestly, I'm not too worried. I don't really think he's taken any nuzlocke seriously since the Alpha Sapphire Extreme Randomizer, but he's still humorous and as entertaining as ever. We can sit here taking bets on where he'll end up dying but regardless of where it happens, it'll be a good wake up call, and maybe afterwards he'll give us a season 2.

I had this song pop into my head randomly and checked back, and apparently people are offended by it now. I have no idea why, back during it's release a lot of us who were actually a part of the scene thought it was funny.

I didn't actually think about that. I knew about it but clearly didn't think about it, probably because I'm used to making maps of dungeons/gauntlets that lack a holistic view. Thanks for telling me about it, it'll help shave a little time off these things in the future. Edit: Also have a happy birthday :^

Fixed the sound quality slightly for this one. Hopefully I can keep the trend of having these vids last a manageable time of 30~ minutes or less.

Ah, sorry about that. This was supposed to be released earlier. Anyways, went ahead and fixed the error from earlier. I changed my mind and I'll probably edit the scrapyard in later.

Glad you think so! I'm making some changes to how I'm going about this walkthrough, but hopefully it can be just as good.

I'll be showing everything possible, so side quests, event pokemon, notable items, all of that is going to be shown.

Another project that's been on the to-do list for way too long. This was a bit challenging because the desert is massive, and I wanted to downscale this while at the same time allowing it to still understandable with all the items placed on it. I really wanted to make certain that you could have this open and see the entire map all at once without scrolling. I didn't include the Mirage Tower and the Scrapyard because I felt it was a bit too complex to accurately showcase all the items/pokemon on a map(there's 3 different variants of the tower I'd have to show at once somehow). Also just realized I didn't label the Pidgeotite in the upper left hand corner. I'll fix it later. Tourmaline Desert Map Mirage Tower Map

It's been on the todo list for a while. I love the game and hopefully I do it justice. Unlike the Reborn playthrough, I won't be skipping the story on screen because quite a few people asked me not to in the past. I'm a bit terrified about the outcome of that decision but we'll see how it goes. Feedback is welcome :^
