- do saffron to fuchsia as normal, with the following exceptions:
	> teach thunder on sw menu (saves 3s if teach over TW)
	> if will be skipping cinnabar lab pc, heal blastoise while at saffron pc 
	> don't switch blastoise to slot 1 (saves 1.5s)
- do blaine with zapdos
	> teach thunder early; x spec, sw x2, thunder x2 (can skip x spec and go for arcanine range with +sp. atk)
	> growlithe and ponyta do 35-40ish with fire blast. growlithe dies unboosted with most sp. atks
	> lose ~0.5s if you hit both thunders (est. 5.5s lost on average)
	> ~5900 exp gives:
		- one fewer level-up for blastoise (same for zapdos)			-2.8
		- 53 for growlithe												-0.1
		- 53 for alakazam												-0.5
		- 53 for dewgong												-0.2
		- 54 for jynx													-0.3
		- 54 for hitmonchan												-0.1
		- 55 for arbok													-0.3
		- 55 for second gengar											-0.3
		- 56 for aerodactyl												-0.2
		- 56 for first dragonair (to tank outrage and hyper beam)		-0.1
		- 57 for gyarados												-0.2
		- 58 for marowak OR sandslash									-1.5
		- 59 for golbat													-0.3
		- 59 for weezing												-0.3
		- 60 for porygon												-0.0	
		- 60 for dewgong												-0.1
		- 61 for machamp												-0.1
		- 61 for first gengar											-0.0
		- 62 for gyarados												-0.2
		- 63 for heracross												+1.0 (either +11 or no effect)
		- 64 for arcanine												-0.1
		- 64 for venusaur												-0.2
- don't switch before goons (saves 4s)
- cinnabar lab pc can be skipped in certain cases (one bug, or 2 + no venonat+nido) because you've already healed blastoise
	> look into this further; maybe try to evolve 1-2 bugs early?
- generally add a range to 2 pokes in gio's gym (no worse than 82% and 94%)
- if x speeding on viridian rival, maybe do it on gyarados (it's 50% to rain dance)

- if thunder is taught early, use on:
	> blaine
	> weezing (unless god sp. atk)
	> muk (unless bad sp. atk)
	> pidgeot (only if bad sp. atk)
	> growlithe (unless great sp. atk)
	> alakazam (unless terrible sp. atk)
