I fought the same gym trainer over and over in order to understand the horror of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's worst fight.

You are actually underselling the difficulty of this fight. Hideki has semi-random AI; it can randomly choose any of the moves, unless they fail, then he will not pick the move. That being said, if it picks Foresight, it cannot pick Foresight again, and same for Focus Energy. The ideal fight is Foresight into Focus Energy into get range and kill. Machop will be picking Low Sweep way more often than you led on.

Doesn't seem like an error to me. Hideaki was just prepared to kick the player's ass.

We were all warned about the threat of a top percentage Rattata, but we didn't see the top percentage Machop coming.

it's hilarious to me how this trainer, in all normal circumstances, is nothing to worry about. just in speedruns.

Funny how a level 13 Machop gives Speed runners a bad time, but casual gamers just go to town with their Ralts and Tailow or their newly evolved Dustox/ Beautifly.

I know it's annoying to the speedrunners, but I love stuff like this. Just one random guy who didn't play by the "it's a videogame" rules and went out and busted his 28 across the board IVs Machop because he loved it and wanted to train it up. He truly believes that might is right!

Let me shed some light on how this programming error came about. The developers assigned a "difficulty value" to each trainer. When read in 8-bit binary, it was intended that the LEFT 5 bits be read to determine the IVs, but instead the RIGHT 5 bits are read. We know this is a mistake, because it makes much more sense for IVs to get higher when you face more prominent trainers, but instead they seem pretty random. Here are some examples of how the error manifests: Black Belt Hideki, difficulty value 120 (01111000) – intended left 5 bits: 01111 (15 IVs), actual right 5 bits: 11000 (24 IVs) Leader Brawly, difficulty value 160 (10100000) – intended left 5 bits: 10100 (20 IVs), actual right 5 bits: 00000 (0 IVs) Elite Four Drake, difficulty value 200 (11001000) – intended left 5 bits: 11001 (25 IVs), actual right 5 bits: 01000 (8 IVs) Champion Steven, difficulty value 240 (11110000) – intended left 5 bits: 11110 (30 IVs), actual right 5 bits: 10000 (16 IVs)

Honestly single mon trainers having stronger stuff makes sense.

I've never been exposed to a Pokemon speedrun before, the idea of the optimal early-game strat being a Mudkip screaming endlessly is so funny to me

I love how a single random trainer just becomes a problem like this, all due to a funny error

This kinda reminds me of one if the very silly questions about pokemons gameplay systems you can have. Pokemon breeding produces a lot of mons you dont use and will probably just dismiss from the box. If those pokemon get released into the wild, theres surely some where a kid gets lucky and picks up the equivalent of a god machop, thats only slight blemish is that they have the wrong nature or something. I honestly wouldnt be suprised if this was a legitimate reason that villain teams have so many of the same pokemon. Someone out there wanted the optimal version of that pokemon and left a horde of super bidoof in their wake, and all they had to do was bribe the guy releasing them to just give them to the team.

Interesting enough, there’s that hiker spinner just outside of azalea town, with a machop, that WILL end your speed run if challenges you.

It's a mercy that this happens early on in the game. So ending a run isn't as devastating as it would be later.

Hideki is truly the great equaliser, with both OR and AS runners sweating. He also keeps the runners humble, as casual players normally just sweep him due to extra grinding, having more 'mon and better team coverage, etc.
