- CANDY/EXP ROUTING:
- - Mt. Moon candy: L9-->10 Metapod
- - Cerulean candy could be L15-->16, and you'd want to give 200 exp. to Metapod to avoid wasting it (need ~300 extra exp. to get L16)
- - L16-->17 candy doesn't have many benefits
- - Main early-game levels are L24/25 Kadabra and L25/26 Starmie
- - Gentleman X Attack saves a turn on Martha, but fight is too slow because of Intimidate and Roar
- - Fight Butterfree optional
- - Beedrill optional generally doesn't save turns in Rock Tunnel, so it's not worth it
- - Need high L40 or very low L41 for Silph Rival (can get this with early Erika + L15-->16 Rival 2 and L23-->24 Rival 3 candies)
- - Get Gastly to L20 (consider L19):
- > L17 Gastly should fight 2 Gastlies, 2 Zubats + Koffing (loses ~2425 exp.)
- > L18 Gastly should fight all 3 Zubats + Koffing (loses ~1750 exp.)
- > L19 Gastly should fight last Zubat + Koffing (loses ~900 exp.)
- - 3 candies are available for late game (all are slow)
- - Bad Sp. Atk/Speed Nidos want L48/L49 for Giovanni 3
- - Bad Speed Nidos want L50/51 for Lorelei
- - Many Nidos want L54/55/L56 for Champion (Arcanine)
- FIRE BLAST ROUTE:
- - Get L39 for Juggler
- - Blaine --> Silph --> Erika --> Power Plant
- - (You get L40 for Arcanine and L43 midway through Silph Giovanni)

- CONS:
- - Early Blaine (possibly not a con because of badge boost)
- - Teach Fire Blast
- - No Blizzard for Cooltrainer Nidoqueen
- -----
- Rules are somewhat difficult to make; central question is whether Poison Point should be banned. Allowing Poison Point seems reasonable since it is unintentional damage; however, it allows cheesing the Voltorb in Mt. Moon to save time leveling up Geodude. Thus, the ruleset could be "must use at least 1 super-effective move on every Pokemon that is defeated." This could still allow some cheesing with Toxic, but it likely wouldn't be worth it.
- All of this is in addition to the main rule: "Moves that have the potential to cause non-super effective damage are not allowed."
- -----
- (buy 3 bb tms and 1 dig tm)
- (time save: late lavender rival + skip rock slide + faster lavender rival)
- (time loss: 2 extra tm buys/teaches + less money + slower rocket hideout)
