• Reply in this thread to request a new Alt Main Poke subcategory if it isn't currently on the leaderboards (use the request format at the bottom of this post)
• There must be at least one (1) completed run before the subcategory will be created
• See this thread for how to submit proposals for other new categories; this thread is specifically for handling new Alt Main Poke requests, which follow established common rules (and thus require less information to get added)

(NOTE: See the leaderboard rules for either Crystal or Gold/Silver for what qualifies as an "Alt Main Poke" run.)

Include the follow information in your requests (a simple bulleted list is fine):

• Main Pokémon used * - (specified by the final evolved form at the end of the run)*
• Applicable game(s) * - (i.e. Gold/Silver or Crystal)*
• Link and info for completed run(s) * - (if possible, include all of the following info: (1) link to video, (2) name of runner, (3) time (run length), (4) platform used, and (5) date the run was performed)*
• Link to route document * - (optional)*

• New category proposals should be submitted through the Discord server (use the below format)
• There must be at least one (1) completed run of the category before creating a proposal thread
• Category guidelines can be found here
• Common rules for all categories can be found here
• Requests for new Alt Main Pokes subcategories should be submitted here instead

See this thread for an example category proposal. Also see the rules pages for existing leaderboard categories for an idea on the format, or if you just want to copy some common phrasing for your submission.

> NOTE: New subcategories for Alt Main Pokes should be submitted here instead.

Thread title should contain "[Category Proposal]" and the proposed category name (e.g. "[Category Proposal] Any% No ACE").

• Proposed category name
• Applicable game(s) (rename to "Minihack info" if it's a minihack)
• Quick summary of goal/restrictions
• Category type (i.e. Glitchless/Glitched/Execution Segment)
• Timing method (i.e. start and end points of the run)
• Category-specific rules (including technical clarifications)
• Link and info for completed run(s)

• Link to route document
• Other general comments about the category

• Be specific if something other than English Gold/Silver/Crystal
• Subcategories will be added for Gold/Silver and Crystal if category applies to all games
• Submissions for "minihacks" must include hack's homepage and/or a description of the hack (but avoid directly linking to the ROM)

• Explaining the category in simple English should take ~100 characters maximum
• Save technical explanations/clarifications for the category-specific rules section

Include as many technical rules and clarifications for the category as needed.

Some specific things worth noting (depending on category type):

• Glitched: Are there any specific glitches banned? (e.g. Save Corruption, ACE, Instant Victory, Underflow, etc.)
• Glitchless: Are there exceptions for specific glitches? Acceptable in rare cases if good justification provided. Examples: Catch 'Em All "Dupe Glitch Only" (saves ~10 hours, glitch is extremely well-known casually); "Start with TM47" and "PC Jack" minihacks (point of the hacks is explicitly to allow 1 specific glitched mechanic).
• Execution Segments: Must be amenable to console (e.g. soft reset between trials instead of loading savestate). Must also include a link to a savestate (or .sav) file and/or provide detailed info how save should be prepared.

• If possible, include all of the following info: (1) link to video, (2) name of runner, (3) time (run length), (4) platform used, and (5) date the run was performed

With the "recent" split between generations in Pokemon Speedrunning we decided to update the Discord Thread so it automatically gets you to the new community server!

For those of you who don't know what Discord is, you can read about it here. It's very friendly and very easy to use, and it's absolutely free to both test and own! Discord is available both as an in-browser program and a fully downloadable app.

There are dedicated text channels for each category within generations 1-3, so you'll never miss any brand new routing or discussion, as well as centralized voice channels. No longer will races require a host and a messy call set up, simply jump into one of the dedicated channels and chat away!

If the specificity of text/voice channels are a little intimidating, there are also general text/voice channels if you just want to talk about anything/everything!

The new categories have just been created so you can submit your runs already, and we will soon start moving runs from the cat ext to the main leaderboard.

If you want to try your hands at it, we recently renovated the guides in the new PSR GitHub Wiki: Red/Blue: https://pokemon-speedrunning.github.io/speedrun-routes/#/gen-1/red-blue/main-any/

Yellow: https://pokemon-speedrunning.github.io/speedrun-routes/#/gen-1/yellow/main-any/

here is the run: here is the route i used (wich i already replaced in favor of a better one):https://pastebin.com/pCLbh8Gb

This run would need a rule exception, since you cant get Mew without using a glitch. I suggest we should state that you can perform only one trainerfly/deathfly glitch to spawn a lv7 Mew. The routing is really interesting since Mew can learn every tm, but you are really underleveled compared to nidoking for example. I think this can easily sub 2
