I am using the slower RNG Manip which is saving and quitting near the Mart, i am doing all inputs correct with Pressing the A button correctly too. The nido encounter is in the correct space (Bottom Right patch) and is level 4 but every time he has 17 HP!?

Thankyou :)

Hello all my names Jack from the united kingdom, I am 21 years old and i am a newcomer to the speedrunning scene. My account is nearly year old as i was going to start then but i ended up not trying due to not having enough time but now i have a fair amount of time of my hands so decided to finally start trying! My first game im going to try megaman x8 because i love the megaman series and it seems the less demanding to learn so i can pick up the basics.

Im on the forums to meet new friends who run ANY games its just nice to talk to people with same hobbies :)

Yeah I'm currently using onega ruby till I can get a spare Alpha sapphire so using omega ruby just to get used to speed running as this is my first ever game I've attempted :) I'll get hold of you through twitch

Im new to speedrunning and im going to make this game my first game to learn to speedrun because it looks like the easier pokemon out of the bunch so hopefully it can help me improve the basics of speedrunning in general.

Im looking for any proper speedrunning notes for this because obviously not everything is explained in videos so just wondering if any of the professionals got something i can look at, One thing i noticed this game uses Repels majority of the game but from the beginning till after saving Pecko your not using them as they are not obtainable yet but when im watching a video you guys are not encountering any encounters and i get like 4/5 upto rusturf tunnel. Is there patches of grass with 0 encounter rate like Pokemon Blue/Red viridian forest?
