Hey everybody, Dolla_Mic here!

You may remember me from a pChal react on Twitch (also featured on pChal Daily), but it's far more likely that you'd recognize my little chess logo from the shoutout Jan gave me in his Emerald tier list video.

I've built a foolproof, riskless, guaranteed, solved FireFred run – all following Hardcore Nuzlocke rules to the letter. It's the same general concept as my Tate & Liza video guaranteed encounters, riskless strategies, etc... – but applied to every single encounter and battle in the game.

Excited to share that I'll be streaming the whole thing on Twitch and YouTube over the next couple weeks, starting today at 2:30 p.m. Pacific!

Full stream schedule linked here, but I'll be going live and chipping away at FireRed every Tuesday and Thursday for the next few weeks.

So come stop by, get a Pokémon named after you, and see if you can poke any holes in my start-to-finish game plan (you can't, it's perfect 😝).

Nearly a month ago and a full month after Platinum Kaizo's release Mr Keating sent out the following message in the announcement channel to SHF's Discord.

Since then we have discovered the 101st encounter, Mew which is found on honey trees throughout the game. The Ragecandybar however has yet to be found by anyone similar to the Old Amber which only had the hint "Good luck lol" with most guesses now indicating that it is based on your trainer ID hence the rule about reseting from title screen rather than being allowed to save state at the brief case.

As for the Rage Candy bar I asked Draz earlier today and she confirmed that it is in the game and she was able to get it. This indicates it is at least deterministic and not a 1/20000 encounter like Mew is.

The problem: Draz really likes niche gen 4 mechanics like Acid Rain and Hiroshima AI so I can fully see her using methods like it only being available if you play on a specific day at a specific time while on a certain tile.

If anyone has any ideas feel free to post because right now there is way too much ground to cover

(today's stream spoiler) Roark was going so well up to this point, so I decided to immortalize it

TLDR: Hear me out. CalcCoins™.

I am very sorry for enraging my favourite German techno hardcore Pokémon internet bubble, but I am back for more after I felt the dopamine of senpai noticing me.

I thought a bit about the chess timer and another comment in the OG post suggested something similar:

How about instead of a timer, which I agree would add a lot of stress to otherwise pretty chill streams, you get a set number of calcs (maybe X per split or Y per fight or something) and you get to bank them.

So basically you will have the opportunity to calc with all the time in the world, but every calc costs you a "calc token". This would even add a strategic angle where you can just wing a seemingly easy fight to save more calcs for later. Also you could spend these tokens in-combat for some hype steering calcs. This kind of formalizes Jan's 95% idea in that when you're "close enough", recalcing will cost another token so it becomes a strategic decision vs. a patience test.

This would avoid stuff like that pelipper loss in attempt 12 too and many other moments, where winging it is fine apart from, like, one little thing that would be great to calc. That's also closer to the vibe that I believe would lead to optimal watching experience and keep a lot of the no-calc hype intact.

Might be a bit finicky with the calc sheet (sometimes you fat finger a calc and/or it shows you the "intermediate steps" while clicking all the options, but eh, whatever, don't think we need to sweat this too much) and adds a bit of bookkeeping (there might be a browser extension that could make this easier and solve the fat finger issue that doesn't sound too complicated to build, I think I could prototype one quickly if this finds traction).

So i'd say there are still some corners to round out, but you know, I am still the evil "unrestricted calcs are stupid" dude spreading these no-fun mind viruses, and being a contrarian on the internet just fills my heart with warmth.

That or the chess timer is really generous to not be stressful but at least eliminate the extremes. So you can just calc with impunity but don't let it completely degenerate.

The baba is you comparison to me doesn't really have legs, as with baba you can't really brute force lines like that. I mean you kinda can, but it would just be silly. Also in baba you don't incrementally calc out lines for 6h and your safe file doesn't get deleted when you blundered a small detail, so there's that.
