Incredible run! Getting into real endgame territory with the time here, I had good Pokemon in every set, and there werent really any bad spots. Wouldnt be all that surprising if this one stands for a very long time.

![Pokemon Stadium - Pika Cups, Transfers only from New Game (Blue) in 1:32:57 [WR]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hkQDJugu5Tw/mqdefault.jpg "Pokemon Stadium - Pika Cups, Transfers only from New Game (Blue) in 1:32:57 [WR]
Came up with an interesting way to do speedruns using transfers, and really wanted to put it into practice, as my mind couldnt stop thinking about it for the past few days. Its how you know an idea is good! So heres the first instalment.
Concept is starting from a new game in the Game Boy game via Dodrio tower, and make a team to beat one of the cups. In this case, Pika Cup (both Round 1 and 2). The reason for doing transfers *only*, is that otherwise just using rentals would be faster. The reason for starting from new game, is otherwise just using perfectly built mons is boring as hell, and extremely easy. The reason for not doing the whole game, is grinding to L100 for Prime Cup is also boring as hell.
But this is a sweet spot thats really interesting to theorise routes for, in terms of Pokemon to get and use, and risk/reward factor between how much to prioritise team building and how much to go in as soon as possible.
Pretty happy with the route I came up with, given I had the idea just a couple days ago, and had to have so much of it just be theorised ideas, since testing this out via transfer is most feasible by simply doing runs. And in practice, this went basically exactly as I had hoped. Really fun run, definitely plan to do Petit and Little in the future, maybe more!
