Found a more consistent method for the bounces at the end. It's still a long way from fully consistent, but it at least gave me a strat to aim for. It might looks simple, but I assure you the aerial control is super duper specific, very difficult to get the proper bounces.
Finally got a super clean one though, sub 30 baby! This is a huge improvement of 4 seconds - this is not the type of game you usually see such big improvements in!

![Pokemon Stadium 2 - Little Cups, Transfers only from New Game (Yellow) in 1:38:31 [WR]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tINBWzGpHHI/mqdefault.jpg "Pokemon Stadium 2 - Little Cups, Transfers only from New Game (Yellow) in 1:38:31 [WR]
In Transfers Only speedruns, you start 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, Little 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, and too easy. The reason for not doing the whole game, is grinding to L100 for Prime Cup is also very boring.
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.
Doing Little Cup from Yellow is fun, since in gen 1 you dont have access to very many Pokemon to use at Level 5 since breeding didnt exist. Luckily there is enough to pull through with a little luck. Happy I brought this down beneath my goal, was a fun one to route for sure!
Ive done quite a few of these runs now, but definitely more of these transfers only runs to come in the future too!

Didnt expect to improve this one so soon! Getting close to a really nice time, but gonna keep trying to push this lower!
For more info, read up in the FAQ: https://pastebin.com/hSfvgfi4
Bounty rules means basically playing under the FR/LG requirements of E4R2 - that being catch 60 mons, dont use exp share, and dont use one of the really high level catches you can get an hour in (Raikou, Entei, or L50 Magikarp), and dont use RNG Manip.
Sakharu created and put up a bounty for this category that runs until the end of the year. I really wanted to pick it up, cause I love the 60 Poke requirement from FR/LG.

New PB here. Only a small one, but nonetheless a step towards my goal.
The grind for a sub 3:40 continues.
