The main portion of boss speedruns is spent fighting bosses, meaning Pokémon selection, movesets and battle strategies play a huge role in achieving the fastest times. When someone discovers an optimal team or strategy, others can quickly copy it. This shifts the competition away from experimenting with different Pokémon and strategies, towards simply optimising routing, boss selection or execution.

While those aspects still require skill, it may take away from one of the most interesting parts of speedrunning, being discovering new strategies and finding creative ways to outperform other runners.

Hiding Pokémon and movesets during runs could encourage players to experiment independently rather than immediately copying the current top runner’s setup.

This could lead to more variety, innovation and interesting competition, rewarding those who put time into developing their own strategies.

So...this poll lets runners decide: Yes means you can choose whether to hide this information, while No means everyone must keep it public. Once more runners get involved and submit runs, reversing this decision could be difficult. I'm drafting some rules, so please vote and share your thoughts.
