Some Crystal ideas : Part 1 : * letting your mother see you in the beginning is ~0.1 seconds faster * healed immediately after Rival 1 * renaming a Pokemon 'A' takes ~1 second * lv4 Hoppip gives exactly 42 exp., just enough to reach lv8 before Spearow (Rage x3 can be a range, what about Leer + Scratches ?) * lv4 Poliwag gives 48 exp. (Scratch x3 ? Leer + Scratch x2 ?) * Fighting the first Youngster after the second one is not worth it (12 tiles + text + fight = ~47 seconds) for 48 exp. * calling Mom is still worth it (Poliwag is unlikely to troll with extra Bubbles if going for a catch, 1-2 per Bubble) * holding the Start button in the main menu buffers its closing (can be used after exiting the Bag) * take the PrzCureBerry from the bottomm of the tree (3 turn frames instead of 4) * Route 32 (north) : Repel from the left side (17 tiles [~4.2 seconds], 11 opportunities to get an encounter) Repel from the right side (26 tiles [~6.4 seconds], 7 opportunities to get an encounter) * Route 32 (south) : Left side (48 tiles, 15 opportunities to get an encounter) Right side (58 tiles, 7 opportunities to get an encounter + 1 Spinner pass) * don't talk to the Blue Slowpoke Tail sellor (3 turn frames instead of 4) => saying "No" is 31 frames (instead of 49 frames for "Yes") * go talk to Kurt before Mart Shopping saves 2 tiles * Azalea shopping : - 2 Potions (3 if hit any spinner) - 3 Super Potions - 5 Repels - 2 Antidotes - 1 Paralyz Heal (remaining : 86$) * not taking the Full Heal saves 10 tiles and the Full Heal jingle * Slowpoke Well : 29 opportunities to get an encounter * Walk vs. Bike : - 7 steps or less : Walking is faster - 8 steps : very close difference (< 0.1 second) - 9 steps or more : Get on bike + biking is faster * Underground : taking the safety healing items (Super Potion & Paralyz Heal) before fight the second trainer saves 1 turn frame * Goldenrod : Bike from Center to Mart * Goldenrod Shopping : 5F - Sell Mud-Slap & Attract - TM33 Ice Punch 3F - 1 X Speed - 1 X Special - 2 X Attacks 2F - 6 Escape Ropes - 2 Repels - 3 Full Heals (not sure) - 1 Pokedoll (remaining : 10$) Part 2 : * Buying 3 X Specials instead of 1 in Goldenrod 1 allows very-late Goldenrod 2 shopping * Bike from Chuck's Gym to the Secretpotion man (4s instead of 4.2 seconds walking) * Bike from Mahogany Center to the Rocket HQ * Bike from for the Rocket HQ to the Gym * After-underground shopping saves 3 seconds (and an Escape Rope in Goldenrod 1) => Instead of using an Escape Rope, reach the Mart with underground elevator * Can't escape Radio Tower by any mean * Radio Tower 2F : talking to last Grunt (7 turn frames, 11 tiles = 183 frames) seen by the Grunt (5 turn frames, 8 tiles, 1 "!" ~= 199 frames) * Ice Path : if a Repel wears off while sliding, the movement will continue (can't change direction when the textbox appears) * Tohjo Falls : go the closest to the blue guy possible (saves 8 tiles) * If lv 7 for 1st Youngster, Rage saves 5-6 seconds * Fighting Josh in Azalea's Gym is possible, assuming hitting Anthony and survived
