The human element of the run is far more entertaining than the game itself. If it wasn't for someone lying about their record 40 years ago, I don't think we'd take a second look at this run/game. Meh vote.
For anyone interested, here's a link for all Trainer-Fly Pokemon you can get: http://web.archive.org/web/20130907112429/http://puu.sh/257S
I've also found a faster way to get Mew: 1. Perform a Black-Out Trainer Fly on any trainer except the Lass with Clefairy.
2. Walk into Mt. Moon and enter the bottom floor where the ether is. 3. Battle the rocket and let him walk to you. 4. Pick up the Ether. 5. Get an encounter for a level 12 Clefairy. The clefairy should have a special DV of 7, 8, 9 or 10. 6. Walk up to the first floor. 7. Get Mew.
Also, I was thinking about instead of using Charmander for the box data, you would use another Pokemon, say Pidgey. You would manipulate the DVs as usual, and in order to have 0x36, you would have Pidgey in front, battle 2 paras but switch out to charmander to split the EV from 55 to 27, which would then be 54.
Why not that Lass?
This route looks even better. I'll look into manipulating dialogue boxes to pick up a Poké Ball remotely, which would let the run skip the Mart entirely.

The new change would be to 1. battle the rocket 2. pick up TM01 3. get ether 4. get mew 5. teach TM01 to mew 6. let [Pokemon] gain 54 special EV by switching out 7. level up mew to 10 with mega punch and learn transform.
There is no Poke Ball in Mt. Moon.
I've also been thinking about the "no glitched warps" category and I was wondering what the "no glitched warps" category specifies. Does no glitched warps mean that only wrong warping is banned? If the above is true, then would other glitches such as "Item Underflow" and "ZZAZZ glitch" as long as the player does not wrong warp?

I think what we REALLY need to do is, as a community, come up with a term that unambiguously means 'You can do small, localized, well defined in scope memory corruption glitches (putting a chuck in your power up, trainer fly, things like that) but you can't do large scale, global, arbitrarily wide scope memory corruption glitches (anything that reads to or writes from many unrelated fields, especially in an arbitrary or many-at-once manner)' so we can concisely describe categories better. It might need to be a new piece of jargon, which is OK if the whole community can agree on what it should be. But I'm kind of tired of the war between 'overly precise, cold and technical descriptions' and 'easier to understand, but not considered technically precise enough' category labels and I wish it would go away with a nice solution.
^What qualifies as a "large skip" as opposed to a "small skip" would be a bit more subjective, I think. Does skipping the entirety of Rock Tunnel, Silph Co., Pokemon Tower, Cinnabar Mansion, the Safari Zone, and Viridian Gym count as several "small skips"? EDIT: Just checked the actual SDA page where Pokemon Red is published; they're marking a movie similar to the "no heavy memory corruption" movie as having "large skips". So based on how they're using that term, it wouldn't cut it here. I'm still supporting "light glitch" vs "heavy glitch".

I've noticed this effect of the Blackout-Trainer Fly glitch. If you perform a Blackout Trainer fly when you haven't fought a trainer yet, then a (glitch) trainer identical to the one you performed a trainer fly on. If you have, then a glitch trainer won't pop up and the effects of a trainer fly (except a and start button) will still be present.
My currently published TAS uses this strat, I even pointed it out in the submission text. Talking to oak from the side is even faster than from behind, I believe it was 2 frames, but not exactly sure anymore. Also, it saves only about 15 frames compared to talking to Oak from below (3 extra steps, but 2 less steps from the rival). Also, grats to Werster.
I did a quick test and thought it was a couple frames faster from the top, I guess I was mistaken.

About the text boxes: I'm answering from memory here, and I never seriously looked into that feature of Trainer-Fly, so don't rely on this too heavily, but the way it works is basically that it stores the text box to play when engaging a trainer, to play it when he finally walked up to you (not sure what the address was, but it should be reasonably easy to find it). When trainer-flying, you overwrite the value when fighting other trainers or do stuff like talking to NPCs. After a battle the value is reset to 0, which opens the main menu instead. If you want any specific text box, you would need to manipulate that byte to be the text you want. If you're adventurous, you might even try to get an invalid text ID in to setup arbitrary code execution, but that's just an idea (I might acutally look into some time), it will probably not work that way.
