8 Seriously Impressive Ways People Have Completed Popular Video Games

5. Completed In 0:00 minutes - Pokémon Yellow

Now, this is more of a glitch, but it is still a completely baffling feat to manage to complete the game without any in-game time passing. And whilst it's not as impressive as completing the game in that time properly, the level of intricacy, detail and sheer luck that goes into glitching the game in this manner is insane. Not to mention the fact that someone figured this all out through trial and error.

The glitch essentially involves accessing a glitched Pokemon menu by turning the game off mid-save at the correct time. In doing so it allows you to use the items to reprogram your game to a certain degree. Each of the items holds information about the game, meaning that if you move them around in the glitched inventory and drop them in the correct amounts, you can trick your game into thinking you have beaten the Elite Four, subsequently getting the insane game time.

There are a lot of speedruns out there that are impressive in their own right, but this one is more impressive because of the implication that someone figured out the minute details and managed to glitch their game in such a way entirely through trial and error.
