A newly discovered glitch in the Switch port of Pokémon FireRed is shaking up the speedrunning scene. Swiss speedrunner iamClemi found that an accidental button press in Professor Oak’s lab lets players skip sound prompts when catching wild Pokémon, saving about 2.68 seconds per catch. While that might not sound like much, it adds up quickly in competitive runs. Current record holder Gunnermaniac could be facing a serious challenge with this exploit. How do you think this will affect speedrunning strategies moving forward?
