Okay, here's a weird idea: Many people warn that turning off while saving can mess up the save file. So, save ASAP and use the A+B+select+start reset while it says "saving... DON'T TURN OFF THE POWER". If we reset at the right moment, it might result in teleporting to the Hall of Fame, or getting a level 100 marowak, etc...
Anyway, say it doesn't work. Ho hum.
I've been doing some tests with Marowak. Thrash is so effective that he can beat Celadon Gym, Cinnabar Gym, Saffron Gym, the Silph Building, Rival, Rival, Elite Four, and Rival, without having to heal at Pokemon centers. Every pokemon up to the Elite Four can be beaten with Thrash without a critical hit, and with Marowak going first, except:
Sabrina's Alakazam (Goes second)
Rival's Alakazam (Goes second)
and a couple Rhyhorns (Bonemerang or Ice Beam).
I've e-mailed Nintendo and Pokemon.com with this letter:
As you might know, there are several people at tasvideos.org trying to use computer programs to play the Pokemon red/blue games as fast as possible. Our best movie so far can be seen at
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2812912828267940831&q=pokemon+red+speedrun
These movies are made by extensively planning the route, and then one person starts to work on playing, with every button pressed at the first possible moment and random button presses used for extreme good luck, allowing no pokemon to be seen except when necessary and all attacks to do maximum damage. The process involves pressing random buttons, retrying over and over until the desired result is achieved. If you could e-mail me the random number generators used in pokemon Red and how they are applied, it would be extremely helpful.
Please and thank you, Alex Lamoureux.
