The '''Tower Tycoon event skip''' is a miscellaneous [[glitch]] which only exists within Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The glitch will happen when the player reaches the Tower Tycoon but instead of choosing the option 'KEEP GOING' immediately, he or she selects 'REST' first, but selects 'NO' to procede to the next trainer.

==Explanation==
 
When the player selects the option 'KEEP GOING' the game will set the value of an additional byte to 01, so that the Tower Tycoon walks slowly up to the player, instead of another trainer who would walk up to the player at a normal speed. This also changes the dialogue of the Tower Tycoon, so that he welcomes the player and informs the player who he is. If the player does not choose this option however, the byte will still remain at 00 and the game will treat the next trainer as one who is part of the usual streak. Palmer will instead give his default speech for such an event "Show me, the Tower Tycoon what you're really made of!" and since the game will treat him as a normal trainer, the player will only recieve 3 or more Battle Points.
