Now I've gone and done it. I've taken the Pokemon Puzzle League ways fully into Nintendo Puzzle Collection.
I've started resetting stages.
If the stage is getting bad, I will no longer hesitate to quit the stage and reload it. This has already resulted in a 23 second improvement from my previous best run of four years ago.
This is gonna make calculating the game time complicated. The timer runs at 70 frames per second, after all. The game runs at 60. I will have to use real time on the stages I reset and then convert that time to 70 fps so that the times will look comparable to those that do not reset.
Game times: 40, 1:07, 44, 16, 1:22*, 17, 54*, 24, 1:14*, 1:22*, 19, 1:08*, 42, 1:11*, 1:41
*calculated in real time and converted to game's timing
