- Poke Balls + extra Elixer seems faster than Max Ether + Revive
- Menuing after Arbok does not remove the Silph lag (it appears before the menu, rather than before movement)
- Biking to Saffron Gym from Celadon is only ~1 second faster than Flying from Fuchsia
- Elixer on bike menu before Viridian Gym seems faster (can EQ Hypno and Rhyhorn, and scrolling is faster than a separate menu)
- Not using X Special on Giovanni 2 loses ~1.5s (extra text on Rhydon, extra EQ animation on rival) 
- Champion Sandslash can live Blizzard after X Speed
- Champion Magneton can live EQ
- You level up in battle one extra time (end at L55 instead of L56 despite skipping 2 candies); only a minor time loss if in red bar
