Welcome to the commentary video on the Pokemon Fire Red Elite Four Round 2 (E4R2) World Record Speedrun! In this video I provide commentary on the run, provide insight into the strategies used, explain the decisions made, point out mistakes and basically just explain what I'm doing to do and why. I hope you enjoy this video, if you do, please leave a like! I also hope this may help new runners that want to speedrun this game but don't quite know where to begin.

Hope you guys like the video! The Pokemon Yellow grind has begun. Let me know if you enjoy these commentaries! I'd probably do commentary if and when I get the Yellow WR back too.

@ernsthubertus1597 4 года назад

Thank you so much for almost 4 hours of pure entertainment I love Pokemon speedruns, the thing I dislike a little is that the runs that get uploaded on YT are usually from Twitch and are mostly chat interactions (which obviously makes sense if you attempt to run the game countless times you cant explain everything everytime) So I really, really appreciate you taking the time and adding commentary to the whole run

@bucsfan2565 4 года назад

Thomas Kleijn During this run, he admitted to using a computer to look at rng scenarios the game produces. Real speed runners don’t do that during a run. You should only use the console and the game.

@Thomas.c4647 4 года назад

@@bucsfan2565 well, you don't get to decide who is a 'real' speed runner and who isn't. Rng manip in fr/lg is allowed. So he is simply following the rules. You don't have to agree with that rule, but calling someone a fake runner who is using the tools that are given sounds very ignorant. You can always watch the 'no rng manip' category.

@bucsfan2565 4 года назад

Thomas Kleijn I think rng manip is fine. Look at what I wrote. He used a computer program to aid him by providing the rng scenarios. 2:20 It’s frowned upon. For this game, you should only use a game boy advance and the game.

@donsimon3919 4 года назад

He needs a certain amount of Pokémon caught - 60 to be exact - to unlock the side quest on sevii Island and the elite 4 round 2 respectively. To get these 60 Pokémon as fast as possible it's helpful to have some stone evolutions as they're faster than those by lvl up. Evolving the Eevee into Flareon is just the fastest Eeveelution he can use

@Arkadius500 4 года назад

Flareon has a good attack stat and be useful at weakening certain wild encounters with Quick Attack, particularly when a run visits the Power Plant to catch Pikachu / Voltorb / Magnemite. The other Eeveelutions have weaker attack. Gunner looked into Jolteon or simply using Eevee QA STAB and evolving it later, but it wasn't worth it.

@cheevolvergiraffe42 3 года назад

why do you use rare candies on all those pokemon before the elite 4?

@JosephQPublic 3 года назад

1) he needs 60 Pokémon caught for the National Pokédex. The candies help evolve Pokémon to increase the caught number 2) he was already in the menu, if I remember correctly, so he chose to candy his Pokémon then to save time so he doesn’t have to menu later.

@bencheevers6693 4 года назад

This run is fantastic, I'm kind of turned off by the crazy good luck you got throughout the run only to complain about small amount of bad luck you got at the end which only felt so impactful because you were so far ahead, that's like winning a scratch ticket every day of the week and then on Sunday getting mad because you didn't win (or a better analogy that represents getting bad luck after getting exceedingly good luck throughout).

@ember-evergarden 3 года назад

Once on top, you have to stay on top. Never be satisfied with what you own or you stagnate. That that "turns you off" is a bad thing. It means you easily capitulate. This is the same principle that enables the rich to get richer while the 99% remain losers.

If this was a “let’s play,” then sure, complaining about a little bit of bad luck at the end of a super good luck run is a bit much, but it’s a speed run for world record... so he’s holding himself to a high standard to achieve *world* record status.

Because in order to access the postgame content that makes the E4 stronger you need to have 60 Pokémon in your Pokédex. That counter keeps track of the ones he catches.
