Emerald 1026 routing (Jan. 2017)

ROUTE 101
- 12 Attack does 1 less damage, so always check if Zig's health bar is green

LITTLEROOT TOWN
- Mom heal is 4-5 seconds faster than Oldale Potion

ROUTE 101
- If you killed a Wingull, don't kill a L2 Poochyena/Wurmple here (better to hope for a L3 to get L8 for Aqua Pooch)

ROUTE 102
- L4 Poochyenas and Wurmples are almost always 3HKOs
- Probably kill any 29+ exp Pokemon you see if your HP is high enough (1 for Ralts, 5 for Wurmples/Lotads, 8 for Pooches?)
- Ralts cutscene: Don't need to mash until Wally starts talking again

PETALBURG CITY
- If you got experience, buy 4 Potions; if not, buy 5

RUSTBORO GYM
- Text boxes for receiving badge and TM39 clear themselves (don't mash)

ROUTE 116
- If you have partial exp. and Torrent at L15, it's faster to fight the Youngster and dodge the Hiker
	> Need to sell 1 Poke Ball to make shopping work
	> Alternatively, you could Repel as soon as the Youngster faces left, and only fight the Hiker if he hasn't spun
- Text box for receiving Devon Goods clears itself

RUSTBORO CITY
- Text boxes for receiving Great Ball, Letter and Pokenav clear themselves
- Shopping: If you bought 4 Potions, buy 3 X Speeds here

DEWFORD TOWN
- Deathwarping from Granite Cave saves ~2s (not counting time loss from Tentacool trainer)
	> Must use Potion on first Repel menu
	> Money loss doesn't matter
	> Unfortunately, Tentacool trainer never seems worth it

GRANITE CAVE
- Text boxes for giving Letter and receiving TM47 clear themselves

SLATEPORT CITY
- Text box for giving Devon Goods clears itself

ROUTE 110
- Rival 2:
	> At 37-38 HP and asleep, healing on Grovyle is probably correct, but it's a close play
	> If you miss the Wingull range and land on 2-3 HP, use a Potion before Tackling it
- Text box for receiving Itemfinder clears itself
- Fighting Abra first is never worth it

MAUVILLE CITY
- Deandre's Zigzagoon always dies to a -1 Mud Shot
- Text boxes for receiving badge and TM34 clear themselves (don't mash)

FALLARBOR TOWN
- Bonk-into-house movement to get Nugget is barely faster if done perfectly
- Shopping:
	> If you bought 4 Potions, buy 4 X Specials and 9 X Attacks, and don't sell Steel Wing
	> You can buy 1 more Super Potion if you really need it for Maxie 1

RUSTURF TUNNEL
- Text box for receiving HM04 clears itself

MT. CHIMNEY
- With perfect Mud Shot PP, use Mud Shot on Mightyena if you're dead to 3 Bites (<54 HP)
	> If -1 Mud Shots, use one only if dead to 2 Bites (<37 HP)

LAVARIDGE GYM
- Ideal HP for Flannery is 64+. Lower end is best with 1 MS left, and higher is best with 3 left
	> If you have 1 MS and a Super Potion, probably don't heal 46-63 HP, since you can use it during the fight, but you usually don't need to and can WG Camerupt
- Order of items on Flannery: X Attack x5, Rock Smash, X Special x1-2, Great Ball, Poke Ball x5
- Text boxes for receiving badge and TM50 clear themselves (don't mash)

LAVARIDGE TOWN
- Text box for receiving Go-Goggles clears itself

DEWFORD GYM
- Text boxes for receiving badge and TM08 clear themselves (don't mash)

ROUTE 104
- Desert candy Super Repel lasts through grass here if you used it on tile before rotator with 32-33 HP after Flannery

PETALBURG GYM
- Consider this path: http://pastebin.com/RyfCDv0v
- X Attack on Vigoroth is basically as good as WG (since it's only ~0.9s slower, and WG crit is bad)
- Norman: If you have ~71 HP on Spinda and are fully set up and confused, it's probably better to YOLO confusion than Heal Powder
	> If you hit yourself, Energy Root and try again. Same applies on Vigoroth
- Norman: It's 3-4 seconds faster to WG+Strength Vigoroth if it's OK to give it a turn
- Norman: If you're at +3/+0 on Vigoroth and dead to 2 hits, go for Mud Shot
	> If you get the range, heal and X Speed on Linoone (save a heal if Belly Drum)
	> If you miss the range, X Speed while he heals, then go for the range again (save a heal if you get it)
- Norman: If you don't get either Defense drop, heal+MS+MS usually kills
- Text boxes for receiving badge and TM42 clear themselves (don't mash)

PETALBURG CITY
- Text box for receiving HM03 clears itself

ROUTE 118
- Run-into-bike-into-bag manip the Bird Keeper

WEATHER INSTITUTE
- If you killed a Tentacool, consider candying one fight earlier, then pause manipping the spinner (safe if he's facing down; must wait and then bag manip if he's facing up)
	> Extra ~900 exp basically has the same effect as killing Tropius (can skip Mt. Pyre candy and fight Mossdeep singles)
	> If you kill Tropius, you can fight Mossdeep double
- You can candy once to L34 if that allows to Strength one fewer Carvanha, but the time save is marginal
- Text box for receiving Castform clears itself
- If you have 16-18 HP after Shelly, you can skip the bed and be safe from Pelipper while maintaining Torrent through Fortree double. Works best with 10+ Strengths (you often use more)
	> Fortree double strat is Surf+SW Swellow, Surf+SW Pelipper, Surf
	> Saves 7 seconds if all goes well, but you often risk a few things (Ember burn, Pelipper crit, Swellow crit, Xatu Night Shade)

ROUTE 119
- Rival 3: If X Attacks are high, it doesn't matter which X item you use first (same # of inputs)
- Text box for receiving HM02 clears itself

FORTREE GYM
- New Fortree double strat (courtesy of Tyrant/Sinstar):
	1: Strength+SW Doduo
	2: Strength Pelipper+SW Swellow
	3: Surf+SW Swellow
	4: Surf+SW Xatu
- New double notes:
	> If you get Protect, it's probably an extra turn, but you can kill Pelipper+Swellow with Surf with an amazing Castform
	> Don't X Special if Swellow is one SW from death (it's 2s slower unless you miss)
- Tropius Sweet Scent is extremely rare (~5%)
- Text box for receiving TM40 clears itself

MT. PYRE
- If leading MS on Wailmer, Castform should target Poochyena with 47+ Sp. Atk. Close play with less than that
- Text box for receiving Magma Emblem clears itself
- Skip candy if you have Tropius exp.

MAGMA HIDEOUT
- If you got candy, use it on second Super Repel menu here
- Swablu Torrent manip strat on Maxie 1 loses 17 seconds + exp.

MOSSDEEP GYM
- If you skipped candy, fight first two trainers as singles to get L43 for Lunatone
