The current Pokemon Pearl Any% TAS http://tasvideos.org/2892M.html uses a tweaking method that's outdated (new methods would be nearly 4 minutes faster in the ENG version). But even more time can be saved by using the JPN version (not just because of text differences, the tweaking route is faster too). If I were to make a new TAS with the JPN version of the game, would it obsolete the current version or would it be added as a new category? If so, would it be better to just stick to the ENG version? (I also posted this in the Pokemon Diamond Pearl Forum but I thought I would post it here since it's kind of a general question)

If you can use version-specific tricks or routes in the Japanese version, then that would be preferred to use, and such a movie would obsolete a published movie on the English version. The exact rules on game versions/regional differences can be found here.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
