Surprise~!
This movie file runs up to the completion of the first Gym (Violet City). It is by no means perfect - it's got a few mistakes that need correcting, and if I do go through with a run of Pokemon Gold, I'll probably start over from scratch, or back up quite a ways back.
Don't read too much into this, though.. Pokemon Gold is one of at least 5 games I've at least toyed around with in a search for my next speedrun. I think it's best if someone with more experience with the game takes this one on, though. But hey, it's a movie file, and it doesn't desynch.
(Edit: Here's a few luck manipulation tips I found, in case someone else besides me does this run:
- Unlike with Pokemon R/B/Y, trainers do have an AI that's smarter than "Pick a random move the Pokemon has". Don't expect to simply luck manipulate away every enemy Pokemon to do exactly what you want to do.
- Enemy attack choices seem to be decided at the beginning of the turn, not when you choose to attack, so if you want to try to manipulate the attack, do it immediately prior to selecting your action for the turn (in other words, when the enemy is releasing his Pokemon, or on the last action of the previous turn).
- Also unlike with Pokemon R/B/Y, critical hits no longer ignore ALL stat modifiers caused by moves such as Leer or Tail Whip, only those harmful to the attack. So, as you'll notice, I Leer a few of the earlier enemies to reduce the number of turns it'll take to defeat them by reducing their defense.)
