- DISCLAIMER - Some of these optimizations are extremely picky and are in no way trying to make you feel like the bot is doing something *wrong* they are just things that could be *better* in the very most optimal route. I will for example include really tiny details such as turn frames, menu scrolling etc. Also these are all based purely on the 1:56:45 video. I will try not to bring up anything I've seen on-stream cause they might've been fixed since I saw them. I will not include anything about doing different moves/things to manipulate red bar.
- 1st Rival fight:
- 1) What the bot did - Tail Whip x5 because Growl x4
- What it should've done - Tail Whip x2 then Tackles
- Why - It's fine to Tail Whip twice instead of once when you get Growl but Growl reducing your Attack is much more effective
- than Tail Whip reducing Bulba's defense. So when it spams Growl like that, starting to Tackle earlier is probably best.
- Viridian Forest:
- 2) What the bot did - picked up the Antidote
- What it COULD have done - skipped the Antidote
- Why - It's faster to walk around the Antidote than pick it up but by doing this you just have to hope you don't get poisoned
- by Weedle. This isn't something to be done now but something to take note of for when the time gets down to near the limit.
- 3) What the bot did - healed up directly after the Weedle fight
- What it should've done - walked out of the grass before healing & switching
- Why - The only reason to antidote directly after the fight is if you are near to full health and want to keep it that way. If
- you are at low health, you should always exit the grass first because there's not enough tiles for the poison to kill you and
- Nido gets outsped by wilds a lot more than Squirtle.
- Pewter Mart:
- 4) What the bot did - walked left 1 and up 2 to go to the counter
- What it should've done - walked up 2 and left 1 to go to the counter
- Why - Ok here we should learn about turn frames. In Gen 1, making extra turn movements do not waste frames *UNLESS* it is on a
- tile where the player is not moving. So for example, when moving from corner to corner on a 4x4 environment it doesn't matter
- if you go up 4 and across 4 or up 1, across 1, up 1 across 1, etc. but in this case when you talk to the guy at the counter
- you have to turn left without moving left so it wastes a frame.
- 5) What the bot did - walked down 2 and right 1 to exit the mart
- What it should've done - walked right 1 and down to exit the mart
- Why - Same as above, turn frames. In this case when you get to the mart exit you have to turn downwards without moving down
- so it wastes a frame.
- Route 3 Fight 1:
- 6) What the bot did - On the 1st Caterpie it did Leer x2 then Horn Attack, Tackle.
- What it should've done - Leer then Horn Attack x2 (damage range).
- Why - It can save a turn if it hits the damage range. It's all well and good saving Horn Attacks but when you lose turns
- because of it, that's not optimal. If it doesn't hit the damage range, tackle to finish.
- 7) What the bot did - On the Weedle it did Horn Attack x3
- What it should've done - Leer then Horn Attack x2
- Why - Same amount of turns but saves a Horn Attack
- 8) What the bot did - On the 2nd Caterpie it did Horn Attack x3
- What it should've done - Since it was Level 9: Leer then Horn Attack x2
- Why - Same amount of turns but saves a Horn Attack. If it was Level 10 at this point it could Leer then Horn Attack then
- Tackle (damage range). If it doesn't hit the damage range, tackle to finish.
- Route 3 Fight 2 (shorts):
- 9) What the bot did - On Rattata it did Horn Attack x2 then Tackle.
- What it should've done - Leer then Horn Attack x2.
- Why - with the way the bot did it, if one of the Horn Attacks crits, it would still use 2 Horn Attacks. With the way I
- suggest, if Horn Attack crits it'll save another Horn Attack.
- 10) What the bot did - On Ekans it did Horn Attack x3.
- What it should've done - Leer then Horn Attack x2.
- Why - Same amount of turns but saves a Horn Attack, plus the same reasoning as for Rattata applies here too.
- Route 3 Fight 3:
- 11) What the bot did - scrolled down to Horn Attack
- What it should've done - Switched Leer with Horn Attack before attacking Weedle
- Why - This fight and the next are mainly just Horn Attack spam and don't require Leer so this switch reduces scrolling.
- 12) What the bot did - On Kakuna it did Horn Attack x2 then Tackle x2
- What it should've done - Horn Attack x3
- Why - Saves a turn.
- Mt. Moon 1st Nerd Fight:
- 13) What the bot did - Finished off the Magnemite with Tackle
- What it should've done - Finished off with Poison Sting
- Why - Poison Sting's animation is faster because it is a shake animation (meaning it shakes the screen) while Tackle is a
- flash animation (meaning the opposing pokemon flashes when attacked).
- 14) What the bot did - On Voltorb it did Horn Attack then Tackle x2
- What it should've done - Horn Attack x2 then finish with either another Horn Attack or Poison Sting depending on the damage
- range it gets.
- Why - We don't need to save Horn Attacks any more. We have enough to last us to Cerulean where we take the center.
- Mt. Moon Floor 1:
- 15) What the bot did - Walked 1 tile away from the Rare Candy before going up
- What it should've done - Walked up at least 2 tiles before it gets to the Rare Candy
- Why - Saves a turn frame. In this case the player had to go right without moving right when picking up the Rare Candy.
- Mt. Moon Lass Fight:
- 16) What the bot did - On Oddish it did Horn Attack then Tackle x2
- What it should've done - Horn Attack x2 (damage range) and Poison Sting if needed
- Why - We are not saving Horn Attacks and could save a turn if it gets the damage range
- Mt. Moon Floor 1:
- 17) What the bot did - Tought Water Gun on a tile where the player is turning
- What it should've done - Tought Water Gun on a tile when walking in a straight line directly after the Lass fight
- Why - Saves a turn frame. Since the player is standing still after menuing, turning downwards costs a frame.
- 18) What the bot did - Walked 1 tile away from the Hiker before talking to him
- What it should've done - Walked at least 2 tiles away then walked left then talked to him
- Why - Saves a turn frame. In this case the player had to go left without moving left to talk to the Hiker.
- Mt. Moon Floor 3:
- 19) What the bot did - Walked 1 tile away from the Rocket before using the Moon Stone
- What it should've done - Used the Moon Stone before going so close to the Rocket
- Why - Saves a turn frame. Since the player is standing still after menuing, turning right costs a frame.
- Mt. Moon Rocket Fight:
- 20) What the bot did - On Rattata used Water Gun and finished with Poison Sting
- What it should've done - Used Horn Attack then Poison Sting
- Why - We are not saving Horn Attacks and as you can see, Water Gun crit doesn't kill while Horn Attack crit does.
- 21) What the bot did - On Zubat used Horn Attack then Water Gun
- What it should've done - Used Horn Attack x2
- Why - We are not saving Horn Attacks.
- Cerulean Rival Fight:
- 22) What the bot did - On Pidgeotto used Horn Attack x2 then Water Gun
- What it should've done - Horn Attack x3
- Why - Although it is after the center, we still don't really need to save Horn Attacks because we will soon have Thrash.
- 23) What the bot did - On Rattata used Water Gun
- What it should've done - used Horn Attack
- Why - We are not saving Horn Attacks.
- Nugget Bridge Fight 2:
- 24) What the bot did - On Nidoran Female used Horn Attack then Water Gun
- What it should've done - Horn Attack x2
- Why - We are not saving Horn Attacks.
- Route 25:
- 25) What the bot did - Triggered the Exclamation Box on the Lass before Bill's House
- What it should've done - Talked the the Lass
- Why - It is faster to talk to trainers as long as you dont have to go 4 or more tiles out of your way. Also be sure to go
- up before being 1 tile away from the Lass to prevent losing another turn frame.
