(Final Segment) Pokemon Sapphire Glitchless 2:03 IGT PB

this run was segmented to do testing of three things:
- rare candy manip from any% into run (this is why swampert's defense in thumbnail is 1 lower, skipped a trainer)
- ENG 2021 abra route on JPN (w/Hiker Mike)
- investigating text and rival 2 differences between Brendan and May

What I found:
Rare Candy manip is potentially viable but its time save is slight (prob under 10s)
ENG 2021 Abra Route is likely what made this a 2:03 and not a 2:04, due to the less mart buys and less saving for spinners.
Text differences w/May don't seem that major, certainly less than 5 seconds total
- May 2 is not that much more difficult than Sapphire, given you start at the HP range already established. Wailmer uses either Splash or Water Gun at this HP, meaning that you could potentially save a turn from not having to super pot during the fight, saving time overall.
