Pokemon Emerald master beats the game while taking "the fewest steps possible" using "every trick" around, is immediately told he could have taken even fewer steps

Pokemon Emerald.

Over two decades have passed since Game Freak and Nintendo saw the launch of Pokemon Emerald, but fans of the iconic creature collector aren't quite done coming up with creative ways to challenge themselves with the 21-year-old gem.

YouTuber Rylockes, who has previously done everything from hardcore Nuzlockes to playing 100 versions of Pokemon Sapphire at the same time in 107 hours, is back with another feat: tackling Pokemon Emerald while "taking the fewest steps possible." As he lays out before diving into the challenge, "theoretically, there is a lowest number of steps that the game can be beaten in" – and that number is what he aims to hit.
