    So, I'm no speedrunner, but from my experience of playing Sun and Moon, you don't have to do that weird stutter step to get past Beauty Crystal on Route 2. Just hug the left side of the slope and you should always get past her. Maybe there's a chance it fails or something, and I just don't know, but I've always done that to skip the trainer.

      The recognition it... DESERVES?! PEOPLE SLEEPING ON IT?!?! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! THAT THING ENDED UP STEALING THE SPOTLIGHT FROM DICIDUEYE(AND the incinaroar too really)! yea... rowlet WAS the most popular out of the box... but then what happened? their final evolutions happened. . . that's when people got to see the stats. . . POPPLIO then ended up being the more loved one going forward. . . . there was even a time where it even managed to steal ou... primirina's amazing typing combined with its amazing move pool AND getting it with hp fire... it was a cannon the completely decimated all of ou.... though, it then had a falling out at some point. people then just stopped using it. don't really know what had actually happened, but it appears it ended up succumbing to power creep, the metta ended up changing AGAINST it and it ended up being less favored.
      The recognition it deserves... yea right. . . . I ended up hating popplio with a passion for what it ended up doing to my favorite... rowlet. . . of course, I kinda ALREADY disliked it from right out of the box(together with MANY others at the time), but what popplio did... was PERSONAL. . . and it just ended up being my most HATED starter than any other from ALL games so far... for even as good as it was... I NEVER used it simply out of spite. . .
      The fact it ended up being used in speed runs was NEVER a reality check for people to have suddenly realized just how good it was... its a reminder. . . . and a never-ending KICK in the nads to EVERYONE who was on the "Team Rowlet" boat... like me. . . . .
      Though, what I found REALLY funny about ALL of this was. . . Incinaroars inclusion to smash bros ultimate. this series usually tends to nominate POPULAR characters from the pool of games that each fighter hails from. litten(being my SECOND favorite btw, so people please put down your torches and pinch forks, lol)was the UNDERDOG of the popularity contest... its ALMOST as if they WEREN'T paying any attention to EVERYTHING that happened with the popularity poles that happend in the sun and moon games and just went with incinaroar just cuz... he looked cool. of course... being a pokemon that was based off of a wrestler-type figure, yes he was the best pick. but it was REALLY WEIRD because it FEELS like they picked him under the assumption that that was the one they THOUGHT was the most popular... it was more like they were saying "Popplio... Rowlet?! NO DUMB, DUMBS! THIS was the one you should have loved the most!". so this choice was just completely biased in general... litten WASN'T the most popular... it was rowlet. . . then popplio just came along and ended up usurping them both in the end(lmao).

    Sun and Moon was when I returned to Pokémon after my red/blue/gold/silver childhood. It was cool to see different things but I dunno about this Gen.
    - z moves were silly to me
    - kind wanted to have gyms I didn’t enjoy what they did
    - I really didn’t like the tapu legendaries
    BUT the ride mechanism was cool and the ultra beasts are cool and was a cool intriguing storyline that I remember kept me reading and not skipping.
