  1. This is a proposed route for Gold any% glitchless. It requires manip.
  2.  
  3. Choose Chikorita as your starter. Manip a L4 Geodude on Route 46. Teach Cut to Chikorita. Use Geodude through Burned Tower to release the legendary dogs. Catch a manipped dog (Raikou or Entei) with an LID manipped Master Ball. Beat the game.
  4.  
  5. TO DO:
  6. - Selfdestruct death warp instead of Abra? Deathwarp was considered faster than Abra at one point, and it is better here than in the normal Toto route. Might want a flier other than Kenya so you can deathwarp without depositing. Could also manip Abra.
  7. - Entei with HP Rock might be fastest (11 turns saved + fewer heals + less risk + only shop at Goldenrod Mart 1 + better PP management)
  8.  
  9. Gold-specific time saves are:
  10. - Can catch L4 Geodude on Route 46 instead of L3 (saves a minute over Crystal)
  11. - Must fight Albert; Geodude 2-turns this fight
  12. - Can skip Ralph and early wild experience
  13. - Must fight Vulpix guy; Geodude OHKOs
  14. - Because of required fights early, Geodude can outspeed or tie 6 Pokemon that it wouldn't in Crystal (Zubat, Rattata, Zubat, Zubat, Koffing, Ledyba)
  15. - Can Selfdestruct on Miltank if you do early underground to get L21
  16. - Deathwarp with Selfdestruct instead of Abra? Would be unable to Selfdestruct on Miltank, but could die instantly in a fight
  17. - Burned Tower fights are faster with Geodude (5-6 turns on rival with low risk, 1.5 turns on Charmeleon)
  18.  
  19. Gold-specific time losses are:
  20. - No X Acc in Burned Tower (better for top-end Falkner; worse on average)
  21. - Must fight Russell (5 turns vs. Toto's 3, and must teach Mud-Slap)
  22. - No time save from skipping Bill
  23. - Azalea Gym time save vs. Toto is less than in Crystal because Toto fights Paras normally
  24. - If you do early underground, Geodude loses time on Slowpokes (Magnitude 4-6 doesn't kill)
  25. - Legendary dogs detour (4-5 minutes with Toto, 3:30-4:30 with Geodude?)
