This is very cool, congrats!

I wonder, does anyone have a sense of the approximate raw number of button presses required to beat the game? Mostly curious to see how that compares to the parameter count.

I imagine < 10000. https://github.com/KeeyanGhoreshi/PokemonFireredSingleSequen... and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gjsAA_5Agk. I believe this is something like 200k and is a slightly different game. Quite a bit less than 10m either way.
