![Pokemon Stadium 2 - GLC R1, Transfers ONLY from New Game (Gold) in 4:33:38 [WR]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x4GjLOu9Q80/mqdefault.jpg "Pokemon Stadium 2 - GLC R1, Transfers ONLY from New Game (Gold) in 4:33:38 [WR]
The concept of these runs, is starting from a new game in the Game Boy game via Dodrio tower, and make a team to beat the Gym Leader Castle. 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.
In this case, I routed out Gold for GLC Round 1, but Ive done other categories doing cups and with different games.
This run, well... I probably want to do other categories and keep this run forever just because of the Ho-Oh to be honest. The stuff of legend.

After coming up with the good way to do transfer runs, Little Cup from gen 2 was always next on my list I wanted to take on. And this one was a lot more involved! Changed the route significantly while doing runs, and made minor adjustments on every attempt. And love where I landed.
The concept of these runs, 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, Little Cup (both Round 1 and 2).

Really pleased with where the route ended up, in terms of I dont think you could make a winnable team within reason much earlier than this, and also the fact that Wooper plays the critical glue role for the hard fights is so perfect.
