#but i’m assuming stuff like clawf etc

So in case you were wondering, sequence breaking by jumping that cliff and avoiding the school means: no Titans spawn, the gyms say ‘Welcome to X Gym’ and then the dialogue box just goes away, and the team fight areas aren’t interactable at all and just make a plink sound when you try to click on the bell that makes the minimap flicker. And I don’t know if picnic areas are super rare, if you spawn them yourself or whatever, but the only picnic tables I’ve found have been with the people who give you ingredients.

Funnily enough, the level 50 terastylized Leafeon I found at the top of the glitch cliff right at the beginning is still the strongest Pokemon I’ve found, and I had to walk all the way to Area 6 to find a Pokemon Center (which has level 40’s).

Can’t be arsed to put this on reddit, loads of people must have done it, it was so obvious and easy, the game practically begs you to go up that cliff and try and fight the Pokemon on the other side of the gap.

There’s no obvious speedrunning applicability. You get to run around where I assume the Titans will be without them there which I guess could be cool, but there’s nothing else to do in those locations. Normal Pokemon spawn so maybe you could do a slightly glitchy Professor Oak’s Challenge - made more difficult because you can’t ride Koraidon yet, make sandwiches (afaik), or whatever. But it’d be super niche, and you could self impose those restrictions anyway.
