HM02 has become even more redundant in , as a new gliꦇtch has ꦑbeen discovered that allows players to ride their bicycles in the air.
Pokémon Red & Blue were notorious for their bugs and glitches, to the point where it was possible to create artificial Pokémon like MissingNo by breaking the programming of the game. Game Freak got their act together for the later games in the series and they were vastly improved in regards to quality control. This changed with Pokémon Sword & Shield, which has nu🅷merous glitches (like the ability to switch a Pokémon's gender through evolution), but Game Freak at least has the capacity t🧸o fix these issues through patching.
Players are now adding another glitch to the pile, as a Reddit user named kenbarria has uploaded a vid𝓡eo showing a player riding in the air on their bike. It's possible to break out of the boundaries of a raised path and soar through the air on a bike.
The bug was originally disco🧜vered by a Youtuber named , who demonstrated how to perform the glitch. It's possible to glitch outside of the boundaries of the stage with the aid of a berry tree, allowing the player to clip through different barriers and ascend into the skies. T🤪he berry tree requirement means there are limitations involving the glitch for the time being, which means that it can't be used for speedrunning in its current form.
There has been speculation that the Pokémon Sword & Shield development team were under extreme time constraints in order to make sure that the game was ready for its November release. The lightnꦜing-fast pace of the latter half of the game, as well as the repeated battles, makes it seem as if the devs were rushed for time. This might be why Pokémon Sword & Shield have so many glitches, as the ability to🔜 patch games gives developers an excuse t🔯o release a buggy title and fix it later.
