I will be participating in the very first run, a Pokemon Red randomizer race, this wednesday afternoon (2 PM EDT), so come watch!

We're doing a marathon that's just going to be randomizers. Randomizers take a classic game and rearrange everything - usually this means, depending on the game, that item and enemy locations will be rearranged, player and enemy stats and abilities will be changed, levels will be rearranged or reordered, etc. In the case of Pokemon, this means that any Pokemon can appear anywhere in the game and learn random moves, so every game is a completely different challenge. I love these, since instead of learning a very specific route, you have to be ready for anything the game could even possibly throw at you, and that's a lot of fun.

We've been trying to get a Zelda randomizer into GDQ for a couple of years now, and I'm hoping that we'll be able to actually pull it off someday soon since I think they'd be a hit. So I want to signal boost this marathon as best I can, especially since the first run is so often missed.

Yeah, I will - I just figured I'd put it out there now so people would even know it was happening by the time I said it was happening
Cool.

Will do.

This reminded me that there have been some significant changes to the Doom randomizer (called OBLIGE) since I checked it out years ago. I'd love to try speedrunning that now.

I didn't even realize some of these had randomizers

Link to the past randomizer is the best. Didn't know about some of these though.

Well, it's no longer a race, it's literally just me opening up this marathon with Pokemon Red now.
YOU'RE WINNER !

Haha, sorry, the signups for this were really short notice on my part and happened about a month ago

nice run

too bad you didn't get that starmie ;) though tauros is a pretty fine choice anyway
it's an underwater adventure ride
I'm still sad about that Starmie

it was a pretty hormonal choice to wander around trying to catch it forever, but on the other hand, that Tauros could have sucked badly if Celadon City didn't magically fix everything
I didn't manage to have time to watch the run live :(

Do you happen to have the ROM available para? I'd be interested in playing the ROM while watching the VOD at some point.

Yes I do, I can send it to you
Nice! There's no rush, I probably wont have time to play it for a few days, but that will be pretty fun I think.
