one of my all time favorite speedruns was NES Dragon Warrior where it was complete RNG manipulation

Was that the one where they went up and down the stairs a certain amount of times?

I haven't seen much randomized pokemon, how randomized is this?

I know with Link to the Past at this point they can go real wild: Shuffled entrances (that aren't bidirectional, so out is not the same as in), shuffled rooms in dungeons, etc.

up and down the stairs for 5 minutes, then they lost count and had to redo the whole run and it was mercy killed.

Classic.

I don't think they shuffle the dungeon layouts bu tthey'll shuffle all the trainers and gym bosses, and in this case I think they're doing the 'pokemon randomly evolves every level' so the runner doesn't always know what pokemon they're going to have.

It's more about 'how to make this random pile of stuff I have function' than it is a LTTP randomizer, where they're trying to find a path through the item randomization.

Items random, pokemon random, moveset random, and the pokemon evolve into another random pokemon every level and you can't cancel it.

This is going to be such a glorious shitshow and I hope we have a moment better then donating to make a runner apologize to Bulbasaur.

gyre and feasel's FF1 RNG manip run is another classic, especially with puwexil on the couch. gyre just has this incredibly charismatic energy and clear passion for the hobby that makes the whole thing oddly captivating despite it being, y'know, FF1

It is a randomized run with pokemon evolving every time they get a level so it is a complete shitshow and I could not be happier.

Yeah, I think the ones where you really have to adapt on the fly like this are my favorites.

Pretty sure my 2nd favorite run all-time is LTTP crowd control from AGDQ20, but much of that was because Andy's couch were such hilarious assholes.
