At the end of processing a character's turn, there is a check for whether that character just finished summoning Palidor, followed by a branch that ensures the character is not marked to have their next action processed immediately. Unfortunately, the branch lands a bit too early, including the following code meant only for non-Palidor-summoners who have completed their linked list queue:
All of these steps are made redundant for Palidor summoners by the subroutine at C20B4A, which sets $3AA0:$10, zeroes the characters' wait timers, and sets the Palidor/Jump wait time to $E0.
The bug is that the Palidor wait time $E0 is overwritten by the redundant code above. The branch at C201AF should leap to C201CE
