Hello everyone. We are open for any proposals in regards to adding new categories to our Gen 5 category extensions leaderboards.

Please post these requests below this post.

Some of the rules before requesting a new category:

• You must have completed at least one run of the proposed category.
• The goal and the restrictions should not be too arbitrary. The goal of the category should have some appeal in a casual sense of the game or just be a common meme.

Please also request Alt Main Pokes requests here if you have completed a run of this.

Please specify the ruleset that is used for your category precisely, in order for us to be able to copy them over easily.

Should you have any question, join the Pokémon Speedrunning Discord and discuss it in the channel for this generation.

Hello, Is it possible to add a softlocke the game category for pokemon b2w2 please? The timer should start when you launch the new file and finish when you try to exit the Pokewood after try to save the game for the movie. I did a run on that on an mobile emulator (Free DS for Android) :

Merry Christmas

hello there I have an Idea for a category. The category is to finish the game as fast as possible but just with shiny pokemons. I name could be "shiny hunt" or something like that

@Juri_ET Categories are generally not added until a run has actually been done. Personally, I feel this sounds like it'd just be a normal any% run but grinding your mons to be being shiny, which I'd argue doesn't really make for an interesting category. Seems like it'd either be a grind or a hassle to manipulate all the Pokémon you need to be shiny without really adding anything outside of that to the run. That's just my thoughts on it though, regardless of that we can't add it if there's no existing run.

What about category extensions for each gym where you have to defeat all the trainers and the leader with pokemon leveled within a certain range that would be appropriate for that part of the game(and no traded or transferred pokemon would be allowed). Timing would start when you enter the gym and stop when your badge case closes after receiving the badge.
