Japanese is faster. However, the pokemon speedrunning community in the west agrees to run on English so that audiences can understand what move is going to be used. The choice to run on English is purely because running with a different language would alienate an audience as its so vital to understand what moves he is using/used against him/items used using to enjoy the run as a viewer.

Re: Fury Cutter: I actually just did the math on this, and it totally checks out that three Scratches would barely do half the damage of three Fury Cutters. Rather than doubling the base power of Fury Cutter each turn, Fury Cutter's final damage (before random adjustment) is doubled, and this means that it benefits from the +2 that's added in the damage formula before STAB and type effectiveness are added - when super effective, it becomes a +4 on the first Fury Cutter turn, then +8 on the second, then +16 on the third. Scratch, meanwhile, is only getting the one +2. It adds up!

To be more clear, Soft Resting can be used for both the Masuda Method and Legendary Pokemon that you interact with (Latios, Latias, Entei, Suicune and Raikou are harder to RNG though, since there IV's are set at a certain point I believe). Stationary Legendary Pokemon, like Regirock for example, can be saved in front of, then RNG manipulated to have certain stats based on how many frames you advance, the time (as in at 2 PM or 2:10 PM) and/or the amount of soft resets done. Hope this helps.

Not sure if you updated your strats but I found it's faster at a few points to deposit Toto in the PC's along the way rather than taking a center. The Radio Tower hijack for example, after the first pass through the tower you can deposit and withdraw from the PC on the bottom. You can also do it between Goldenrod and Ecruteak in one of the hallways you pass through. It's only ever so slightly better if you do it perfectly though

36:00 On Fury Cutter on the Bayleaf fight: Does Fury Cutter's power double before the move deals damage? So it's starting power will be 20 and not 10. 3 Scratches be [40*3=120] power worth of dmg (you said this is less than half Hp), 3 Fury Cutters would actually do 280 power and not 140 [2*(10+20+40)] power. Quick Attack doing 10 Hp at 40 power vs Fury Cutter at 20 *1.5 =30 power doing 6 dmg. Knowing Gamefreak's sketchy coding of early Pokemon games, it would not surprise if this quirk was present in earlier games and not later games.

What you've got to understand is that the skill in this run comes down to a) The fact that werster himself did the routing. Routing Pokémon games is tough work, especially given all the different possibilities to consider. b) The sheer perseverance involved. When watching werster's stream, I know that I myself watched about a hundred resets. I certainly did not watch all of werster's attempts, I imagine that getting this run required at least 500-1000 resets.
