***EDIT***: There was a major problem with Path 1 on pass #2 that "broke" Don Manip. See an updated version of this manip that fixes this problem (as well as a minor issue with Path 3) here: https://pastebin.com/bjBqGeCQ.

NOTES

> Do the FDFF/DECF Toto manip
    - Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrwp6XViTwg
    - Info:  https://pastebin.com/GirxGiU9
> Go straight down after Toto manip and exit lab on right (saves a step, which allows both passes to begin the same).
    - Normal lab movement after naming rival / before getting Poké Balls.
> Save tile is the one closest to the Catching Tutorial Dude without him loaded (bottom row, offscreen by 2 tiles).
> Save on turnframe (pass 1 facing down, pass 2 facing right). NOTE: Pass 2 MUST be an unbuffered save.
> Hold left for the entire intro (having a button held at all times avoids some fuckery with the RNG)

NPC cue

  [ 12: u -> d          (2/60 IGT: l -> u)                 * instant, 2/60 IGT is after ~8 tiles ]
  [ 13: r -> u          (2/60 IGT: r -> d, 1/60 IGT: d)    * instant, including IGTs             ]


    14: r -> l          (2/60 IGT: d -> r)                 * changes direction instantly, including IGTs
    15: d -> r          (no IGTs)                          * changes direction after ~8 tiles
    16: l               (2/60 IGT: u -> d)                 * IGT NPC changes direction after ~10 tiles


  [ 17: d -> l -> d     (2/60 IGT: d -> u -> r)            * instant, including IGTs             ]
  [ 18: d -> l          (no IGTs)                          * after ~11 tiles                     ]


> NOTE: If you miss the very first A press, the first r29 NPC turns right a few tiles earlier than expected on f15 and the manip will fail (f14 and f16 are unaffected).

Encounterless manip: 60/60 all 3 frames, pass 1 & pass 2
  - Get Potion on the way down after Mr. Pokemon

Mikey Crit manip:
  - f14: select buffer (26/60)
  - f15: select buffer (36/60)
  - f16: left (or right) buffer (17/60); select buffer is also 16/60

Other Notes
  - Stereo has slightly better crit IGT than Mono overall (switching back to Mono is slow anyway)
  - If time reads 10:1x on the S&Q for Pass 2, encounterless is 60/60, 59/60, 58/60, and crit is 13/60, 7/60, 15/60 (only relevant for marathon strats)
