The Any% speedrun record went sub 60 in about a week, with speedrunner Werster finishing the game in 50 minutes and 36 seconds. Soon afterward, PulseEffects followed suit with 49 minutes and 41 seconds record time (<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20211127-183791\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">related article<\/a>, in Japanese). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their records didn\u2019t last long, as Japanese speedrunner Carolio went sub 30 just a few days later. Carolio set a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/R4aHmcdRiC4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">record <\/a>of 25 minutes and 45 seconds on November 30 using the English version of <em>Pok\u00e9mon Shining Pearl. <\/em>Carolio predicted at the time that \u201csomeone else will break the record by the end of the day.\u201d While not on the same exact day, Werster did break the record soon later on December 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Werster\u2019s new record is 23 minutes and 13 seconds. As with previous speedruns, Cynthia fight was skipped using the Repel item and a technique called Menu Storage which leaves the menu screen open while playing. Werster likely optimized the controls further since I can barely see Werster\u2019s character now.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pokemon Shining Pearl any% Speedrun in 23:13\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/URXI-nQ2rvA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>New routes are seemingly being found almost every day. \u201cBeen a blast working together with some legends in the community, had so much more fun with this game than I expected,\u201d said Werster in the description of the video above. Werster also noted that it\u2019s possible to reach \u201c22 mins with optimized menuing,\u201d but predicts \u201cthe next barrier (20 mins) might be very tough to get it.\u201d Breaking the 20 minutes mark would require \u201ca new type of skip for E4 stuff to save a significant amount of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, speedrunners are using Pok\u00e9 Dolls, which are normally used to escape fights with a wild Pok\u00e9mon, to skip the Elite Four. Maybe the community will come up with a less humiliating way of skipping them in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/speedrun\/comments\/r5yboz\/wr_pok%C3%A9mon_shining_pearl_any_in_2313_by_werster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Reddit thread<\/a> about Werster\u2019s new record is receiving a lot of responses. Content creator EZScape commented that the main contributor to Werster\u2019s new record is the use of \u201cLedgitate\u201d technique. According to EZScape\u2019s analysis, Werster \u201cstores the height you get from jumping over a ledge which allows you to get OOB regardless and then stores the interaction of the GWS lady. When he&#8217;s near the Pokemon League he releases it and she pushes through the barrier.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\">*OOB = Out of Bounds<br>*interaction of the GWS lady\u201d = A conversation event at Global Wonder Station where the protagonist is forced to move<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Werster also changed the item used to perform the Ledgitate glitch from the Explorer Kit to an Old Rod, which shaved some time off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>If you\u2019re interested in learning more about <em>Pok\u00e9mon BDSP<\/em> speedrun, take a look at the contents published by the speedrunners.
