PokéBot comes with a built-in run recording feature that takes advantage of random number seeding to reproduce runs in their entirety. Any time the bot resets or beats the game, it will log a number to the Lua console that is the seed for the run. If you set CUSTOM_SEED in main.lua to that number, the bot will reproduce your run, allowing you to share your times with others. Note that making any other modifications will prevent this from working. So if you want to make changes to the bot and share your time, be sure to fork the repo and push your changes.
The bot is designed to run "any% glitchless" (beat the game as fast as possible, without major glitches) categories - the most popular in the speedrunning community. However, the bot can easily be adapted for other purposes including use in testing frame data for human players, or to run different categories of the game.
