This is a personal text log of my Speed Run through Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team. Target time is <5 hours.

Requirements:

Move Linking. This is essential to any speed run for the PMD games and can easily decimate opponents with the proper set-up. This is also necessary for beating the game underlevelled.
Diagonal Movement. It saves turns and time to move diagonally than to move regularly. Abuse this.
Luck. This is Mystery Dungeon after all, every single Dungeon is randomly generated so if you end up on a floor with the stairs on the same room as you, pat yourself on the back.
Items. You're restricted to 24 max if you count held items, but for purposes of the main story, we'll say 22. Apples are required since Linked Moves burn up your Belly (4 Belly is lost if you use a Quad-Link Moves to be precise) as well as Max Elixirs for PP restoration. Reviver Seeds are always welcome for the untimely critical hit or bosses.

Starters
Going to use Machop + Treecko since Machop has access to Leer + Focus Energy. Treecko was chosen for ~~swag~~ Leer + Grass STAB. I would've gone for Totodile, but Treecko learns Screech(!) a lot earlier.
