Rng manipulation was such a big thing in speedruns with glitches but haven’t they stopped it in the more recent games?

@mew_totem9006 They kind of did with how difficult it is to perform in 3DS games onward. I think I heard Scarlet/Violet is nearly impossible to manip.

When I first played pokemon Pearl, I randomly encountered that same level 40 Tentacruel. It was never a pokemon I liked, but seing a beast that high level cautivated my younger me and captured it. Seeing it being called a god makes me so happy and nostalgic...

6:58 Completing the Distortion World is not actually what unlocks the path to Sunyshore City. What actually unlocks it in Platinum is talking to Professor Rowan in his lab after the Distortion World. For some reason the guy is still blocking the path, saying there's a black out until this is done. Talking to Rowan after the Distortion World is also what triggers the Lake Guardians to appear in their respective caves. Diamond & Pearl and Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl triggers all of these things once the player has battle Dialga/Palkia, not requiring you to talk to the Professor since he's already there at Spear Pillar in those games, as opposed to Platinum having Cynthia showing up there instead.

@Richtofen-gy9cj If that is the one I think it is, that is arguably a debug tool they left in the game. Like I said, where the oversights end and glitches start in Gen 1 tends to vary person to person. The same person okay with badge boost might not be okay with pokedoll skip, but someone okay with pokedoll skip might not be okay with spawning Gengar in Viridian Forest.

Gen 3 ACE would be up there too

the fact that u gotta capture tentacruel twice is hilarious

I was never able to recreate it, but I accidentally tweaked in Veilstone City when I was a little kid. I don't remember if it was Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum (I owned all 3), but I know I ended up inside the ground by the Game Corner. Like I said, could never recreate it, but thought it was interesting.

Pokemon Platinum bike glitches are the funniest thing, ran into them a handful of times while just playing regularly as a child.

Ooo, new speedrunning video!

Golduck was my partner back in my playthrough of Diamond coincidentally on the Eterna lake close to the spot you mentioned. Crazy it gets a spotlight in a category many years later.

Hearing the Budokai music about 8 and a half minutes in woke me up fiercely hooooly I've had dragon ball on the mind since Sparking ZERO was announced. Didn't expect to hear the music in a pokemon vid lol liked and subscribed

Tweaking is up there right next to Bow Lift Smuggle Slide in terms of glitch naming

Move over Tentacruel, as of yesterday, Platinum is now in the era of the Duck.

Tentacruel was always my fav now to proves to be even better than I thought his so good of a Pokemon underrated

Dang, I need to grab a Golduck next time I play gen 4. Already got a lot of use out of Gallade in fog because it gets a ton of moves that can't miss, but Golduck negating it all together is even better

Great video! Short and to the point. Also what was the track starting about 4:30 again? seems very familiar

I feel like there was a missed opportunity in the thumbnail to have a Golduck peeking its head out of the water in the top right.

I think of RNG manip speedruns like seeded minecraft runs. Not a fan personally. I feel like glitchless should cover manip as to protect the gameplay intentions, but I get that speedrunning is essentially down to consistency. Games that are heavily invested in the RNG side just arent the best fit for the category imo

tweaking got me

Good video

They were tweaking

Tentacruel is my boy

10:35 I'm not exactly a glitch hater...I'm just a hater of when glitches completely take up the entire run and it's barely the game at that point...take for example Elden Ring. I respect the level of grinding and skill it does take to zip around the map to get the super low times, I just think that it's more fun to watch someone beat down bosses in a hilarious and unexpected way compared to normal gameplay. This run is a middle area for me where I think the glitches are actually pretty cool and like how it leads to breaking through the whole game.

i love tweaking

"More of a Tank than a offensiv Pokemon" - yes but no. While Tentacruel has a disgusting SP.Def with good HP it also is suprisingly fast and has good Sp.Atk. Its more of an offtank that can seriously trouble the enemys. The Combination of Blacksludge and Protect gives him very good sustain, Scald is an absurdly good allround move for defense and offense, Acidspray should be straight up illegal as it makes sure that Tentacruel outlives everyone but no one outlives Tentacruel and stuff like Toxic Spikes are just the Cherry on top. I had a Team with Tentacruel in Gen6 that would terrorize battleplaza. It was amazing

What if you used a double Golduck route? Is it even possible?
