How I play Pokemon console games now

I used to play really slow and try to catch every Pokemon in an area before proceeding to the next town/gym but now I just go to http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php/Main_Page to find the speed run guides for the particular Pokemon game and follow that instead of a full guide. I don't follow it strictly and try to avoid trainers but this faster way of playing is great because I have a huge backlog of games and want to move on to others. Besides, Pokemon Sun and Moon is coming out in 1 and a half months time...
