  1. -Fixed the turnframe issue. Although some might have slipped through the cracks.
  2.  
  3. -The TIDs Crystal and Silver get are now different. Crystal's TID lets it give Water Stones from Mystery Gift while Silver's TID lets it give Thunder Stones. While Fire or Leaf Stones would allow for more evolutions, I stick with Thunder Stones because of Raichu. Pikachu cannot evolve in Yellow so the only other ways for anyone of Crystal, Silver, or Yellow to get Raichu is to either get Thunder Stones from the phone call or get one from the Sea Cottage, both of which massively complicate things.
  4.  
  5. -Crystal will now fight Picknicker Gina and register her number to get Leaf Stones. Crystal will gain a total of 6 Leaf Stones, 3 to evolve the 3 Leaf Stone evolutions and 3 to trade to Silver. Crystal will manipulate the calls to happen at optimal times and then go back to Route 34 to get the Leaf Stones from Gina. Since that's the same route Crystal needs to do breeding in, it ends up not taking too much time, and it saves two extra trade sessions from Yellow and Silver, which saves a lot of time.
  6.  
  7. -Crystal starts breeding *much* earlier, starting with Jigglypuff. This lets Crystal get done with breeding much earlier.
  8.  
  9. -Silver will now manipulate Whitney's Clefairy to use Metronome Explosion and Silver will use Smokescreen to dodge it. Crystal can technically do this by switching out to sacrafice a slave but switching out is slower than just killing Clefairy in two turns.
  10.  
  11. -The entire route for getting Espeon and Umbreon is completely overhauled. The Eevee gained from Bill will now be the one to evolve to Espeon. Crystal will use the haircut guy and manipulate a +10 friendship boost each time he grooms Eevee and will use Vitamins and keep it in the party during gym leader battles to increase its friendship. Crystal will also give Eevee the Exp Share throughout the entire Goldenrod Rocket Crisis, as levels gained in the Goldenrod Underground gives Eevee the met location friendship boost.
  12. -As a result, Crystal only breeds one Eevee instead of two, and will be traded an extra Eevee form Yellow to evolve into Jolteon.
  13.  
  14. -Yellow will now use Bulbasaur throughout Nugget Bridge in its first save file before resetting, a task previously relegated to Pidgeotto. Bulbasaur is extremely slow at doing Nugget Bridge but it ends up being more valuable to give exp to Bulbasaur and the extra time Crystal and Silver need to wait before Yellow is ready can simply be spent by catching pokemon.
  15.  
  16. -The entire exp route is overhauled. Crystal will now be traded Flaaffy and will be tasked with evolving it, using it throughout the Rocket Hideout, Jasmine and the first part of Radio Tower. Before, Silver was tasked with evolving Flaaffy but Flaaffy getting boosted exp from Crystal saves a lot of exp. Crystal will give the Exp Share to Bulbasaur throughout Rocket Hideout and Eevee throughout Radio Tower.
  17. -Instead of Flaaffy, Silver will be tasked with evolving Squirtle, using it throughout Rocket Hideout, Jasmine, Pryce, and the entire Radio Tower. Squirtle will use a moveset of Surf/Ice Punch/Dynamic Punch/Bite to get through. Silver will give the Exp Share to Pineco throughout all of the fights up to Clair, preventing it from needing to fight.
  18. -As a result, Crystal will only start using Kabuto starting from the Goldenrod Underground which means Kabuto does not evolve until after Will. The lower exp means that Yellow will need to teach Kabuto Double Team before trading it as without evolving into Kabutops, Kabuto cannot get past Will without Double Team miss manipulation.
  19. -Silver will now give the Exp Share to Marill during the Victory Road Rival fight and to Sandshrew during the Lance and Surge fights. Silver getting these pokes by itself saves 3 extra trades.
  20. -Crystal will give the Exp Share to Marill during the Sailor Huey fight, evolving it to Azumarill and saving a Rare Candy.
  21.  
  22. -Silver will no longer sacrafice slaves to beat the Electrodes in Rocket Hideout, as switching out is slower than killing them in two turns. Silver will also use Flaaffy's Growl to live a Self-Destruct and save one turn.
  23.  
  24. -Yellow will now finish off Misty's Starmie with Metapod instead of switching Metapod in and back out. This doesn't save any turns but it saves one very slow switch out.
  25.  
  26. -Crystal will now do the Eusine Suicune side quest. This will let it catch Suicune and, more importantly, Ho-oh. While Silver catching Ho-oh saves 4 fights, Crystal gets ready for the final set of trades much earlier than Silver if Silver gets Ho-oh. Thus, Crystal will get Ho-oh in order to take a workload off Silver and save time.
  27. -Crystal will use the first extra fight (Cianwood Eusine) to evolve Quilava earlier and thus, give more exp to Flaaffy
  28. -The last three extra fights are the wise Trio before the Tin Tower. These three fights will contribute to Eevee evolving to Umbreon. The exp gained from these fights does not give enough levels (and therefore friendship) to evolve Eevee but it alongside the Kimono Girls (which Crystal skips originally due to being traded a Surf poke) ends up being enough.
  29.  
  30. -Crystal will now go out of its way to pick up as many nuggets/vitamins as possible. Crystal will then sell all of them, as well as all of its tms, to again approximately 172,000 dollars which are all spend on game corner coins. All of this means that Crystal only needs to do one game of slot machines in order to get enough coins for Larvitar. Unlike in gen 1, buying coins is much faster than winning them (even when considering the extra item pickups) because you can buy 500 coins at once, instead of just 50.
  31.  
  32. -Crystal will now skip the Magnet Train sidequest entirely and just bike through Route 27 and 28 to get back to Johto from Kanto. Because Crystal is tasked with hatching eggs, the extra steps effectively do not incur timeloss at all.
  33.  
  34. -Silver will no longer do the Sea Cottage sidequest, as it will gain all of the necessary Leaf and Thunder Stones from Crystal, the necessary Water Stones from Mystery Gift, and the Fire Stone evolutions from Yellow.
  35.  
  36. -Cry length is taken much more seriously. Silver now uses Pidgey as a Fly slave and will occasionally switch it to slot 1 during long catching phases, since Pidgey has the shortest cry in all of pokemon. This isn't always worth it due to the time it takes to switch Pidgey to slot 1 but it does get used occasionally. Crystal can't do it as often since it needs Lugia as a Fly slave (since it's one of two pokes that can be taught Fly and Surf by HM and Crystal needs to conserve slot spaces for eggs) but from the Bug Catching Contest up until Rival 3, it switches a Nidoran Male to slot 1 due to its much shorter cry compared to Croconaw.
  37.  
  38. -Yellow will no longer be traded Pidgeot and will instead pick up 4 extra Rare Candies and evolve Pidgeotto itself
