World Record run of The Pit Despair Mode: Part 2 (Longplay, No Commentary)

The purpose of this video is just as a proof of my run of the Pokemon Emerald ROMHack called The Pit on Despair mode, the hardest difficulty, where I managed to make it to Floor 98.
The Pit is a Pokemon Roguelike ROMhack where you pick 3 random starter Pokemon from a selection of 10 and have to make it through 100 floors of increasing challenge with extremely limited supplies and money. You receive 3 randomized items after clearing each Floor and fight a Pit Boss every 25th Floor. After defeating a Pit Boss you can recruit 1 more randomized partner Pokemon, but so too will enemies now have more Pokemon.
Despair mode kicks it up a notch even higher with significantly less XP and restrictions on which Pokemon you may recruit, all the while allowing enemies to have Legendary/Mythical/Ultra Beast/Paradox Pokemon and even Megas as early as Floor 1!
I now hold the World Record recorded run at Floor 98 as of 4/24/25, but who knows maybe someone has already recorded a full clear even now!
