TheZZAZZGlitch | Pokémon Gen I ABC - Ditto strats A press saves @TheZZAZZGlitch | Uploaded November 2016 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
*** Check the comments - two improvements have already been found by two of my viewers, saving 7 A presses from the route showcased in my video. So the current route has 52 A presses now. youtube.com/watch?v=t_c302Zdki4&lc=z13ng1jwzwbfxt3bs04chzehdx3yyht5dg4
The any% NSC speedrunner community brought us Ditto strats - a new route that completely drops inventory underflow in favor of Super Glitch corruptions. This eliminates the need of heavy inventory management, which consumed a substantial amount of A presses in my previous A Button Challenge attempt. Let's attempt the Gen I ABC yet again and see if the new strategy will improve our previous score.

About half A presses:
The half A press notation is a special system used when counting A presses in segmented runs. If a specific segment of the run is started with the A button already held, such A press is counted as a "half A press". This is because in a complete playthrough, the half A press would just be held out and continued from an A press in an earlier segment, and it wouldn't necessitate pressing the A button. So the half A press is just a continuation of an A press that was performed earlier in the run. You can watch this video for a more detailed explanation (or you don't have to, because you've probably watched it already): youtube.com/watch?v=kpk2tdsPh0A&t=35s

The high quality rip of the Oak's Laboratory theme was created and provided to me by one of my viewers. Thank you!
