Playthrough Rules:
1. Only my starter in battle
2. No items in battle (except held items)
3. No glitches or exploits*
4. No DoubleTeam TM before level 100*

Other rules:
My Pokemon have perfect genetics to ensure fair comparison between species.
*Pokeballs & Pokedolls are allowed in battle
*The badgeboost glitch is not restricted at all
*Skipping the Rocket Hideout & Marowak is allowed
I play the game at 4x game speed (238 frames per second)
My Pokemon has perfect DVs
The TrashCanPuzzle is automatically solved so times are not affected by RNG
The bike is allowed (the bike skip is not)
Skipping the bike is not allowed
Saving between league members is allowed
If the solo Pokemon faints and I choose to blackout it counts towards my reset counter
I can pause the game & timer to take breaks
The footage is sped up / slowed down to match the pace of my narration

*DoubleTeam:
Almost every Pokemon can learn DoubleTeam through TM
The TM can be purchased in Celadon
Using it would centralize the meta
Every Pokemon would use it to overcome tough battles at lower levels
It raises evasion
It triggers the badge boost
Banning the TM allows Pokemon who learn it through level up to use it
I believe evasion is part of Pokemon and shouldn't be banned entirely
I don't want the videos to all be doubleteam spam though, that's not fun or entertaining
Only two Pokemon learn DoubleTeam through level up: Pikachu & Scyther
Minimize is the other evasion raising move, these Pokemon learn it through level up:
Clefairy, Clefable, Grimer, Muk, Chansey, Staryu

Gen 1 Crit Rates: https://www.smogon.com/rb/articles/cr...
Crit rate is determined by dividing base speed by 512

Crits don't multiple damage by 2, it's a formula based on level
