Route Progression
Split paths have to be complete before moving forward. If Route 1 is 100% complete, and both Route 22 and Route 2 are unlocked, the following route that comes first will be in the order shown in the Achievement List/Wiki; in this case, it is Route 22.
Restrictions
Time Traveling: Not allowed. Giving yourself stuff through scripting is not allowed. Pitt or Switch can allow this as needed.
NS Players (Non-Scripting): Not allowed the usage of Macros or Automation Scripting. Informational Scripts are allowed.
S Players (Scripting): Allowed the usage of Automation based Scripts as long as they are human-esque in behavior.
Multi-clienting (NS Players): Not allowed to multi-client Dungeons. This is allowed on Routes.
Multi-clienting (S Players): Can multi-client anywhere.
Safari Zone: No bait (excludes Razz and Nanab) or rocks allowed. Nanab is the best berry for Safari!
Multi-clienting is opening multiple game clients and loading the same save on each.
Special Conditions
If a dungeon has an unlock requirement for the boss after the dungeon, once unlocked, you must stop and go back.
The game and game client should be up to date. ACSRQ and the main game may not always be in sync version-wise.
Legacy doesn't follow the same rules as the ACSRQ, so any shinies on the legacy version that are traded over to an ACSRQ file will have their name taken off the leaderboard.
Region-Specific Rules
Battle Frontier
You are not required to get any pokemon other than Deoxys at Stage 100.
Kalos
Vivillions will be allowed to be hatched or caught shiny in a dungeon (not required).
