- CHANGES
- -----------------
- Sell Nugget early on in Vermillion
- Sell All TMs in Celadon (Not a requirement in my route but is in Gunners)
- Sell All TMs in Fuchsia
- PROS
- ------------------
- - Weepinbell > Gloom (No Moonlight OR Sleep Power from Weepinbell + easier to Weaken)
- - Vulpix > Growlithe (No Intimidate)
- - Grimer/Muk > Koffing/Weezing (No Explosion + Easier to Weaken)[Muk likely worth considering /w 62% Catch at 20% HP]
- - Slowbro > Golduck (Way easier to Weaken Slowbro to a good catch rate)
- - Sandshrew Learns Cut + Strength [Can Skip Ch'Ding Trade and should save slight time using Fly on Ch'Ding instead of scrolling 1 input to avoid using Cut]
- - Ch'ding Skip is viable with Pidgey + Shrew (Maybe not worth if you catch Spearow first?)
- - Don't have to camp for Spearow if you get Sandshrew and a flier. This gives Spearow a big opportunity as a candy poke and won't be useless late game.
- - No Electabuzz encounter in Power Plant (Only 5% but still something)
- CONS
- ------------------
- - Selling Nugget Early
- - Selling TMs (Don't need to do this in my route but is required in Gunners)
- - Can't Weaken Route 10 Sandshrew (Only important if you get Pika)
- - Psyduck > Slowpoke (Super Effective Text)
- - 15% to encounter Magneton instead of 10% at Power Plant
- MIDDLEGROUND
- ------------------
- Expensive route, but faster to buy coins than to pick them up
- Sandshrew = Ekans (No Intimidate vs. Harder to Catch Early On)
- Sandslash = Arbok (No Intimidate vs. Harder to weaken to low HP)
- VERY BASIC TIMEING
- ------------------
- LeafGreen
- +4.8 Sell Nugget Early
- +8.05 To sell all TMs 1st shop (Non Gunner Route doesn't need to)
- +3.07 To buy a 2nd batch of 500 coins
- +5.60 Sell more TMs
- Total = + 21.52 on average
- FireRed
- + 15.96 Grab the coins on the ground
- + 4 For every intimidate text
- Total = + 19.96 /w One Intimidate
- Things to Consider
- ??? Gloom vs. Weepinbell (Weepinbell 100% better)
- ??? Slowpoke vs. Psyduck (Slowpoke very slightly worse cause of SE Text)
- ??? Ekans vs. Sandshrew (Sandshrew slightly worse due to hard to weaken but intimidate also sucks)
- - 41.19 Ch'ding Skip
- CONCLUSION
- ------------------
- The average time you spend catching stuff in LeafGreen looks really appealing due to the slight differences in catches /w version exclusives, no intimidate text/animation, and the option to go for Ch'Ding Skip if you deem it worthy. Overall though both routes have something going for them and I wanted to make this work for the folks that only have LeafGreen. Neither game really seems to be the wrong choice.
