Tweaking: Difference between revisions

Depending on the layout of a section, it may be possible to tweak in such a way so as to load a walkable area (either black or visible) onto a section that does not normally contain walkable surfaces. This allows for a number of shortcuts, such as skipping [[Tohjo Falls]] and therefore {{HM|07|Waterfall}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} by loading a walkable area onto the section where the [[ledge]] on [[Route 27]] would normally be. Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, tweaking in Goldenrod City can be used to gain access to the gym early, which is a crucial part in glitched speedruns. In sections containing buildings that are blocked off by NPCs, it is possible to enter them by tweaking a Z-axis change, allowing the player to walk under or over the tile the NPC would normally occupy. Two examples of minor shortcuts or sequence breaks using this method include obtaining access to [[Mystery Gift]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} before the first badge by bypassing the clown blocking the [[Jubilife TV]] front door, and completing [[Azalea Gym]] before [[Slowpoke Well]] by bypassing the [[Team Rocket]] Grunt in front of the Gym (though this by itself does not allow Slowpoke Well or Rocket Executive [[Proton]] to be skipped entirely, since the game does not trigger the {{p|Farfetch'd}} event that gives the player {{HM|01|Cut}} unless Proton has been defeated).
