Posting this here to advertise the new category where you start the run with Safe Travel. That's right, you get to skip ALL random encounters in the entire run. Saves at least 25 minutes on its own, no need to constantly change battle speed, less RNG manips and overall a much easier run to get into than the regular Any% run, which it shares many similarities with. An up to date guide has been made specifically for this category and new savefiles for all important points in the run has been added, including tutorials for how to load such saves yourself. It's easy to set up a starting savefile, look up the guide here on the forums, or look in the resources. If you ever wanted to get into this run, or maybe improve an old one, then this category is the perfect place to start!
