GS 97 Reforged Routing
[Updated 25 Jan 2021]

TO-DO
- repel count. you'll buy them in pagota and westport, then i think they need to last you until you can buy super repels in sunpoint
- Set time to just before night (catch hoothoot)
- Silver seems to have a higher hoothoot encounter rate on route 101(?)
- either catch rinring on the way to boulder mines and trade it for bomsheal, or catch poliwag on the way from birdon to endon (post-morty, heading to sanskrit
- then you would get coin case in sanskrit, get abra on the boardwalk (south), and make sure your teleport point is set to birdon
- see if there is a paralyz heal or przcureberry before brass tower so you don't have to buy one
