The more you try to break the games, the better you know what or where to poke and prod for the bugs to show up.

Incredible how effectively you described complex speedrunning techniques using a sandwich analogy.

[@samuelgunter]

Gamefreak was inspired by your sandwich analogy that they made sandwiches a key part of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

[@MasonG7838]

the video has been out for 10< mins and already 7k people have started watching it. says a lot about you as a content creator (positively) Keep up the amazing content

[@RR-dh5gr]

The sandwich analogy is one of the strangest yet most creative things ive seen in speedrunning

[@jorgelenny47]

The best part about the sandwich methaphor are the implications behind it. Not only are you making a sandwich with only bread/ham as a finisher, you're also eating it by layers; the true sandwich experience

[@jblen]

The fact that this remake let people discover bugs in the originals that they hadn't tried before, says a lot about this game.

[@walkermcmullin8665]

I've gotta say, it's almost charming in a weird way, seeing the same kind of glitches used in Red and Blue speedruns utilized here. Like it's all come full circle.

Cynthia: "Battle me!" Smallant and Professor Rowan: "DO YOU WANT SANDWICH"

[@Munchman1252]

This feels like some old school action replay shenanigans

[@RyuInfiniti]

Ant was just an uber eats delivery boy, tossing out bread and ham the entire time, then just throws a single piece of ham at Cynthia face and walks off. Fast food strats

[@GeorgeDCowley]

He takes out all his rivals in a flash!

[@Na0bi]

Rowan is like: Don't try it Cynthia, this man has surpassed time and space, he's on a higher level than Arceus

[@jasonyoon9914]

5:21 This was unironically one of the funniest moments in speedrun history.

[@Begeru]

He didn’t make history

This game is fully functional and has no bugs whatsoever...clearly...

[@Gabe413]

But isnt this a good thing? i mean if the game had zero bugs the wr would be like 3 hours or something

[@onyxstyx9552]

@@Gabe413 These glitches really dont count for much, even in a speedrun. Tehre are multipl different categories, and ones that are glitchless are still being done. A 3 hour one and this 17 minute one wouldnt be compared with eachother no way. Its like comparing a sandwich to spaghetti. Sandwich is something you can make quickly using some short cuts, but a spaghet takes time, dedication, and usually luck

[@defectivesickle5643]

@@Gabe413 The issue is that this game is broken

[@anna-flora999]

So what? How do glitches like that matter?

[@mojin7470]

IT IS fully functional... You can force glitches and it is not bug-free but you can still play the game completely as it was intended without any problems, so it is fully-functional for its original purpose.

[@faustelija]

When the remakes are so accurate they even readded the void

[@fjkdjal2504]

The starly you fight when you first get turtwig is the true final boss of Pokémon.

[@moonbeast32]

I feel so bad for gen 4 fans. They were totally shafted with this one.

[@bananaeclipse3324]

Idk I really like this game tbh. It has some game breaking bugs that honestly you CAN abuse but when playing Pokémon there really isn’t a reason TOO do it. It’s a neat thing that doesn’t affect normal gameplay. Also it’s kinda funny that something like this was also in the og Gen 4 games.

[@screamingdonkey3819]

Me: takes hours to beat Cynthia Smallant: takes a couple of seconds to beat cynthia

[@Monkeylordz88]

We have moved past the stage of cheesing boss fights, we are now hamming them!

[@jcprofit]

I cant believe that they kept the void glitch. They really were faithful remakes.

[@123457474869]

As someone who watches Rendi's glitch runs of Runescape, I found this hilariously similar in regards to stackable interfaces, fake logs, PAFTs etc.

[@breakerillusion9115]

Just started watching you and I'm I love your content, something that I can watch with my kids comfortably and they also enjoy the games that you play so that obviously helps. Keep up the great work! I can only imagine how many hours you got into these games.

[@kaleenar963]

Um, not to burst you're bubble but SmallAnt does swear sometimes...
