For those without an appropriate CD/DVD to disc swap to a speedrun viable monster, would it be acceptable (with the clock running throughout) to:

• Start a game and generate a Mocchi/Zuum/Hare from the Encyclopedia.
• Go to the ranch, save and then soft-reset to title, then use the Encyclopedia trade function from the title screen to add a monster to the main run's save file from a save with a completed Encyclopedia.
• Freeze the first monster, then generate the traded monster.

I ask mainly since I have a few ideas for possible strategies to save time, but lack the appropriate media to use them.
