Pokémon Red/Blue (L20 party cap)

RULES

Same rules as Any% Glitchless (single-segment included), with an added restriction that you must never have a Pokémon above L20 in your party throughout the entire run.

(Potentially, a species clause could be added to ensure variety.)

ELITE FOUR EXPERIENCE

Lorelei  =  2035  + 2305  + 1897  + 1644  + 2628*         =   7,881
Bruno    =  1225  + 1650  + 1638* + 1296  + 2398*         =   5,809
Agatha   =  2280  + 2052  + 1485  + 1827  + 2442          =   7,644
Lance    =  2659* + 1728* + 1728* + 2596* + 2895*         =   8,711
Champ    =  2247  + 2350* + 2665  + 2796  + 2875  + 2896  =  12,933

(* = exp that can be reliably/"efficiently" skipped)      =  42,978

> Can't find anything that is truly efficient; OHKO users can only gain so much exp, so have to choose the best spots for them and find spots where other pokes can step in to help.
