CAN THE NUMBER π BEAT POKÉMON? | Pi Plays Pokémon Sapphire - Stream

Welcome to this experiment, where the number π controls Pokémon Sapphire via its digits.
Inspired by the age-old question of "Can you find the entire works of Shakespeare in Pi?", and more recently by Mutekimaru Channel (Fish Plays Pokémon) and obviously TwitchPlaysPokemon, we aim to see whether there is a "game-winning sequence" inside well-known mathematical constants.
Every digit between 0-9 is mapped to a button and fed into the game per each second, making the number in question automatically play the game.
This project is streamed on Twitch, running 24/7 on a Google Cloud server.

Calling it now, when it finally gets to route 102, it's either going to immediately progress or immediately backtrack.

I still wonder whether a different set of controls on the gamepad would get farther faster

As much as I'd want to see that, there's not enough digits to cover the dpad twice :(

Doesn’t even need to be twice. Could just be a different orientation: 1, 3, 5, 7 for the directional inputs, 2 & 6 for A, 4 & 0 for B, 8 and 9 for Start. There has to be at least one combination which is faster.
