When I thought that Pokemon and its community had already shown me everything, a player goes and shows me how wrong I am.
It doesn’t matter that I’ve been glued to the Game Freak and Nintendo saga for years: there’s always a story that leaves me speechless. The latest was that of a streamer beating the game in less than 20 minutes without playing a single battle.
Second trailer for GTA 6
Taking advantage of all kinds of bugs, tricks and glitches, he manages to complete one of the most difficult Pokemon games in a very simple (and complicated at the same time) way. As content creator El Pikachu Feliz tells us, someone managed to beat Pokemon Diamond in a very special way.

The first thing the streamer did to beat the game in such a short time was to speed up the text and remove the music. After that, the game starts, he chooses Turtwig as his starter and executes the first glitch.
What he does is open and close the status window of his initial Pokemon until he causes a bug that allows him to freeze all the events of the game. When he goes through the grass, no wild creatures appear, and when he crosses paths with a trainer, they do not bat an eyelid.
Thanks to this, it is able to move forward without stopping. The next thing it does is, when it reaches a certain area, restart the game to unfreeze it, talk to a fisherman and get the old rod. It then places it in two hotkeys and proceeds to bug the game again.
With this new glitch, it is now even able to walk through the air, moving across the map at a tremendous speed. Thanks to this, it reaches the Pokemon League and proceeds to break the game for the third time, executing a series of bugs and glitches that allow it to avoid all the battles against the Elite Four.
He also manages to do so against Cynthia, one of the –for many– most powerful Pokemon League Champions in the franchise. After this, he is able to access the Champion’s Hall. The game automatically activates the event and the cutscene recognises him as such.
The end result is that he manages to become (in a way) the Pokemon League Champion in 17 minutes, with a level 5 Turtwig and without fighting a single battle. And yes, he does “cheat” –so to speak– but the process is so complex that it’s almost unbelievable.
He measures everything to perfection, especially the final phase, to advance as quickly as possible, obtaining a simply impressive time that is within the reach of very few speedrunners.

April showers bring May free agency rankings updates.Enough said, you know the drill.Notes: Whenever you see a number, a slash and another number, that’s a reference to contract years and total earnings. For instance, the shorthand for Bryce Harper’s 11-year, $330 million deal would be “11/330.” Ages listed below are for the 2026 season.1. Kyle Tucker, Cubs OF, age 29 (April rank 1)Following a supersonic start to his Cubs tenure, Tucker has slightly cooled off over the past month. The underlying numbers indicate Tucker’s May swoon is just a small blip. He’s still the runaway top free agent for the upcoming class and a lot would have to happen for that to change. There has been no additional extension chatter over the past month between Tucker and the Cubs, increasing the already high likelihood he reaches free agency this winter.2. […]

Mauricio Pochettino sends clear message with latest USMNT roster: ‘What we want … is people desperate to perform’
USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino has a clear message for members of the national team's core: Get ready for a challenge.On Thursday, U.S. Soccer announced the USMNT roster for the final set of friendlies before the Concacaf Gold Cup. Like previous rosters, the squad includes a number of new names as Pochettino extends more opportunities to uncapped players.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHowever, this roster is missing a unusually large number of big names: Christian Pulisic will be out after requesting time to rest. Other core players — like Antonee Robinson, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah and more — are also absent, due to a mixture of injuries, coach's decisions and the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.Those excused absences or coach's decisions might seem reasonable enough.

Shanahan končí po 11 letech ve funkci prezidenta Toronta Maple Leafs
„I když jsem hrdý na přestavbu, do které jsme se v roce 2014 pustili, přišel jsem konec konců proto, abych pomohl vyhrát Stanley Cup, což se nám nepodařilo,“ uvedl Shanahan v prohlášení. „Neexistuje nic, co bych chtěl našim fanouškům dopřát víc, a mrzí mě hlavně to, že jsme tu práci nedotáhli do konce,“ dodal šestapadesátiletý rodák z Toronta.Před jeho příchodem se Toronto dostalo do play off pouze jednou za devět let. Nyní byli Maple Leafs ve vyřazovací části podeváté za sebou. Na Stanley Cup čeká slavný klub od roku 1967.Shanahan jako hráč získal Stanleyův pohár třikrát s Detroitem. V NHL nastupoval také za New Jersey, St. Louis, Hartford a New York Rangers. V dresu Kanady vybojoval zlaté medaile na mistrovství světa v Itálii 1994 a olympijských hrách v Salt Lake City 2002.

Dawn Staley weighs in on the Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese rivalry: ‘I think it’s great for our game’
Imagn Images South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley is the latest high-profile figure to weigh in on the recent drama surrounding WNBA stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. And when asked about the situation on Thursday, she gave an answer that many others would have been wise to heed: follow the players' lead and move on. "I think officiating is a hard job, that's one.

"I do think that they understand the dynamics of Angel and Caitlin. I do. I think it's great for our game. It's a sport, treat us like a sport. Don't treat us as anything other than being a sport.

RHP Ronel Blanco placed on injured list in another blow to Astros’ rotation
<!--> The Houston Astros placed right-hander Ronel Blanco on the 15-day injured list Thursday with inflammation in his right elbow.
