So why does nobody use 4F for ACE?

Seems a lot less intrusive to use up your day-care slot than to carry a 5-mon party around. Sure, you'd have to use 8F to set up the 4F bootstrap, but it's only 4 bytes long and you pretty much never have to worry about accidentally destroying your bootstrap. Is there some other thing I don't know about that requires day-care data?

Good idea! :) You need to use the Day Care to stabilize a hybrid, but yeah I don't think anything else requires Day Care.

It's interesting that 4F (hex:59) executes the same address in both Red/Blue and Yellow (FA65 (equivalent to DA65)), so in Yellow it could be used as an alternative to ws m (hex:63) as well.

I've actually made a thread about 4F, right in this board. You can find it here: http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=8056.0 ; ;D

And yeah, I think it's always a better shot and always recommend people to use this item instead, at least in yellow :)
