So if you do that and then get the Pokedex, will it be completely filled in, since the game said you'd seen and owned 152 Pokemon before? Or does it not work like that? It would be nice to see all the Pokedex entries in the game without having to do so much.

There is a serious issue with the way games are reviewed these days, in that a genuinely difficult game is not likely to be beaten in any short amount of time by anyone, let alone a reviewer who is pressed for time.
This means that if a reviewer is to ever see the content before commenting on it, he would either have to switch to an easy mode, or review based on only the start of a game. Neither of these cases does the game justice.
Or they could just make the game really nonlinear so you can start absolutely anywhere!

NesVideoAgent picked the wrong ROM again and desynched?
And hey, have you thought of trying the Scroll mode? Maybe it would look more exciting. Maybe not.

Also, caitsith2, I don't see a problem with this run and e-reader cards desyncing, because the point of the run is replay made on the emulator, and not the game-generated replays. At least, no direct problem with it (if the run was optimized more the issue with the card replays might not show up).
Caitsith2 seems to think it would be really fun to print the replays onto physical cards and use an e-Reader to play them on an actual Game Boy Advance to show other people in real life. The problem is that while the game saves the replays by keeping track of when each button is pressed and released like FCEU, it can still only hold so many of these press/release inputs, and so a run with lots of extra "playing around" may be too large to store, even if it takes less time than another less-hyperactive run that could be stored. A run that "wobbles" could drive the number of inputs up to the maximum in a matter of seconds.

I just noticed that the robot NesVideoAgent took some screenshots of this movie.
It seems like maybe NesVideoAgent isn't meant to handle movies beginning with [.sav]s, because one of the screenshots says "Your saved data is corrupted".
This message will show up when loading the SMA4 ROM without a save, maybe because of a problem in the ROM. However, running the movie with the [.sav] file makes the movie run perfectly.
It also says that if VisualBoyAdvance is set to Flash 64k rather than Flash 128k.

I bet if you spent as much time trying to put real resetting into the emulator as you do finding ways to avoid resetting, you'd have figured it out by now.

Well, did you see if it was possible to pop the bubble with only one toss of the ball? I noticed that you only get 100 points if you need to throw it three times, but you get 800 points if you only throw it twice, so I wondered what you would get for getting all three hits in on the first throw. I also think you should have won and used a Hammer Suit from one of the games for the last level.

The block layout of this level is different for different prizes. The better the prize, the harder the layout is.
Um, I tried playing the game a whole bunch, and it seemed like the power-up and the stage were independently random--you could find just about any power-up in any stage layout.
