Speedrunner glitches of Pokémon Red and Blue

Pewter Gym skip glitch | Walk through walls trick (Youngster method)

(view, talk, edit)

This glitch allows you to skip the first gym in Pokémon Red and Blue.

Requirements

• Can not have beaten the first gym.

Procedure

1. Open the start menu and move the arrow to "SAVE", then exit the menu by pressing B.
2. Go to the boy and make him talk.
3. Once he says "Follow me!", press B to end the conversation and immediately press the start button.
4. Then save your game. If you don't reset you will walk to the gym alone.
5. Restart the game.
6. The boy will disappear, walk in from the left, then begin talking again.
7. He will still insist on taking you to the gym, but will walk there oddly.
8. Go back to the entrance to route three, and walk directly across the top spot where the boy used to be standing.
9. Done, your on your way and you don't need that badge.

Also see how to go through the Pokémon League without the bolder badge so that you never need to beat the first Gym.
