  1. This is an entirely new route for Yellow that saves 5-15 seconds if you are willing to take a few more risks in the late game. Do not confuse it with current Blizzard strats, which use Blizzard solely for the Champion fight.
  2.  
  3. The idea of this route is to take full advantage of Blizzard's extra power, reasonable accuracy and convenient placement in the Cinnabar Mansion. Getting Blizzard before Erika allows us to skip Ice Beam. Since we're skipping Ice Beam, we can consider skipping Rock Slide, as this bypasses talking to the roof TM girl.
  4.  
  5. Going to the mansion before Erika changes our experience route. Without experience from Erika, the highest level we can get for the mansion is L43, but we need L44 to avoid L43 Rattatas and Raticates. However, there are no L42 encounters in the mansion, so we can enter at L42 and save one Rare Candy until Giovanni's gym. This allows us to gain crucial levels for the Elite Four, which erases the time loss from L43 encounters.

  7. Listed below are the differences from the current route. Note the "stats guide" at the top.
