Any% - Werster - August 14th 2014 (OUTDATED)

leave time as default (makes Bellsprout 30% on Route 32 instead of 20% at night)
Get one of the following sets of trainer IDS [combined chance 1024/65536 or 1/64 or 1.56%] :
TID D8xx or F8xx (55296-55551 and 63488-63743)
TID D9xx or F9xx (55552-55807 and 63744-63999)
You need to note down which one you get, there are subtle differences in the route
Pick Totodile, TAKE OFF HIS BERRY. Kill wild poke (level 2/3)
If you have bad Defense you need to pick up the Route 29 berry so you can still use 2 in Falkner's Gym. (You still always pick up the Route 30 berry)
Do the rest of the early game as normal
If you see a Bellsprout catch it at all costs
Beat Falkner WITH A BERRY LEFT OVER (THIS IS IMPORTANT!)
Go to Violet Center, heal, get Egg, do box names as listed below
BOX 1: p  'v ,  'v é  é  'r 2 (2D1R, s1D, s1U, 2R, 4R, 3L1D)

BOX 3: p  é  é  4  é  D  9 (s3R2D, 3R1D, 3L1U, s2D3R, s2U1L)
BOX 4: é  ?  2  'v 9  é  ♂  2 (s1R1D, s, 1U3L, 1R1D, 1U1R, s3R1D, s2L)
BOX 5: 'v 8  é  é  4  'v 't 'l (1D, 2R1U, 3R1D, 4R1U, 1L, 4L)
BOX 6: 'v é  é  é  4  p (2R, 3R1D, 3U4R)
BOX 7: é  d  2  'd (3U3R, 2U1R, 2D3R)
BOX 8-13: skip
BOX 14 (D9/F9xx only): A  A  A  'm v  2 (s3D3R, 1U, 2D2L)

If you didn't get Bellsprout before Violet catch it now. Fight Ralph as well for extra exp.
Buy: 5 Super Potion (#4, D3), 1 Escape Rope (D1), 3 Repel (D1), 3 Antidote (D1)
After Bugsy open menu just before Rival as normal, give PrzCureBerry and heal, then:
D8xx or F8xx TID: Teach Mud-Slap over Water Gun, then use Mud-Slap on Gastly and Scratch on Zubat
At cut bush, teach Cut to Bellsprout since he has free moveslots.
Exit Forest, no need to pick up TMs, head straight for Kenya and get him
Enter Underground, fight PokeManiac, FuryCutter Slowpokes
Get Coin Case, give Berry to Totodile, use Escape Rope
Enter Pokemon Center and take one step up then right 1 down 1
Open Menu, switch party order to Kenya, Bellsprout, Egg, Croc, GIVE CROC THE LEFTOVER BERRY (you did save one didn't you?)
D8xx or F8xx TID: Make sure Croc moveset is Scratch, Leer, Fury Cutter, Mud-Slap
D9xx or F9xx TID: Make sure Croc moveset is Scratch, Leer, Fury Cutter, Water Gun
Close Menu, walk 3 steps left (so you're right next to the stairs)
Open Menu, Pokemon, view Bellsprout's summary to play his cry, switch item tabs at least once to Coin Case, use it, close menu
Walk left into stairs then back down them, walk to Red, win

Any% (Bad Clone Route) - Kylovic - June 9, 2017 (OUTDATED)

Original guide made January 17, 2017. Updated June 9, 2017 (see changelog below)
.
#WARNING
This is less of a "guide" than it is just notes to help during the run. Nothing is written in great detail and a lot of stuff is abbreviated. If you have any questions regarding the route, ask me (@Kylovic) or consair (@Consair7) for help.

#CREDITS
Original Route by Luckytyphlosion. He found all the glitchy stuff so credits to him. I only rewrote his route and added things.
I also took some stuff from Consair's 16:34 wr run so some credits to him.

#ROUTE
##TID Manip
- manip for 55785 TID
	- vid: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zILtBVI37us>
	- writeup

Early || --- 39773 | 07704 | 38120 --- || 55785 || --- 64016 | 02890 | 58298 --- || Late

##Intro
- name player aaaaaaa (7 lower case a's)
- sunday/no/yes

##Early Game
- get Cyndaquil (stats don't matter)

- run away from every encounter
- mr pokemon (no need for any potions)

- rival: leer x1 then tackle
	- MUST WIN the rival fight (reset if not)

- go back to Elm's lab, get poké balls

##Bad Clone Setup
- catch dummy pokemon for cloning (any lvl 2-4 Pidgey or 2-4 Ratatta works)
- swap tackle with smokescreen (use select during encounter)

- enter cherrygrove center

##Cherrygrove Center
- clone cyndaquil:
    - 1 Cyndaquil in party. deposit it, perform a regular clone
    - move w/o mail the clone to the party. now you have 2 in party. deposit both. regular clone again
    - move w/o mail both clones to the party. now you have 4 in party. deposit 2. regular clone
    - move w/o mail one clone to the party. now you have 5 in party, 1 in box that stays in there
- begin bad clone attempts: deposit all 5, reset earlier than regular clone
- once have bad clone, deposit 3 cyndaquils, withdraw bad clone
	- the bad clone is always female, is type steel with some glitched stuff and HAS NO MOVES <-- important
	- if you get a bad clone WITH MOVES, try again cause it's useless

- timings:
	- regular clone: fade out reset, a press right after
	- bad clone: power off after YES click

- swap regular cyndaquil to 4th party slot, dummy poke should be in third, bad clone should be in first
- name boxes:
     BOX 1-5:
    ; H é [mn] 2 H é T 'd
    ; U g é S 'd H E
    ; é & 2 'v 't é ( 'd
    ; U é ! 2 p p p é
    ; 4 é d 2 [pk] [pk] [pk] 'd
   
     BOX 8:
    ; X X X E g 'm v 2


##Stupid Glitch that (almost) never works
- walk to this location, save while facing up: http://puu.sh/tmO7g/9170048d77.png

- type d0 glitch grinding:
    - walk up 1, right 4 so that the player is below the first tree after the pathway and the mart door appears on screen
    - open pokemon menu, view bad clone's moves through move menu
    - continually press up until you hear bonking, can back out and re-enter if too many sprites on screen (not sure if does
      anything to prevent crashes)
        - soft reset on hard locks, reset on crashes
        - on bgb, if invalid opcode debugger pops up, right click bgb -> other -> reset gameboy
    - once you hear bonking, (refresh screen through select/start), walk left 1, up 5, left 1, right 2, press A to talk to red
- timing ends after the last ... textbox closes.

PP Marks:
^ means if Return in slot 4, use opposite move.
If hit ernest, short 2 Headbutts. Use Strength twice to save it (first rocket), then Return Vance, IP exeggcute if only 1 Return left.

Through Kanto you have 22 Return uses assuming slot 4. If that is the case, use Strength on Surge's last 1/2 pokes unless these 2 aren't met.
IP exeguttor if below 11 Att or no calciums | Surf Sandslash if below 12 Att.

Donald: 422 Exp | $600 + Teru: 678 Exp | $288 = 1100 Exp | $888

Centre takes 19 seconds to use
If Bite over WG, take centre at Olivine after Morty (Surf through whole gym and Headbutt through Kimonos)

Elixer takes 12 seconds to get AND use + 4 secs for extra super repel that is coupled with bike + 1 sec for pp route in mahogany base = 17 secs. 
Mathematicaly: Also has no chance of getting encounter at end of Ice Path vs slightly higher chance you'll heal health before Clair. Better choice imo

Max Repel saves a Super (Viridian --> Janine) which is ~4.2 secs, but extra 2.5 to use and 2.1 to buy. (would also save a bit of cash to allow buying more other things in Olivine) 
- Not true if coupled with Elixer, then no extra time to use, therefore saves 2 secs + money
(Could potentially buy 11 and 11 Supers to save a bit more money? Would probably not switch Super placement, lose a bit of time on menuing later on. Prob not worth it)

Escape Rope would save ~2.3 in Underground 1, ~2.1 in Mahogany Base

(Wild Growlithe worth 182, Stantler 353, Spinarak 100/115, Hoothoot 124)
