I saw someone that found a GREAT route for speed running through leaf green. Without doing a TAS he got it done in 2:31:39.
I was mostly planning to do a test run for the route they gave:

Also I am pretty sure that setting your rivals name would save time, even before completing the first battle you already save roughly 36 frames.
Sorry if some of this has been said before, most of the stuff which I saw before page 3 didn't seem to relevant to the tas I was hoping to do.
With the route provided I'm pretty sure that the stats given are a bare minimum though I could be wrong, just having 1 less special attack could make you lose a minute at the first gym so higher in all of them would probably help.
