As much as I'd love Growlithe to be a team member, trying to evolve it would probably get us two thunder stones and several more pokédolls.

Hell we'd probably get a water stone if we went for Arcanine. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
 
The plan that makes sense:

Can somebody give a quick summary of how flareon became the false prophet?
Anything bad that happened all started when fools chose to go for an Eevee.

Debate between skipping eevee vs getting eevee

TeamGetEevee won out and wasted the spot for lapras. Then a new war was made between Jolteon vs Vaporeon. Most settled on vaporeon for surf. They ended up picking a firestone and evolving into flareon. Chaos ensues and ABBBBBBK ( and Jay Leno are released.

Our best bet would be to use democracy to purchase the stone. But where's the fun in that?
I still believe lapras would be a better asset in the end game.
 
Most of us here were born in the 80s or early 90s and played R/b, but imagine all the millennial kids watching this who never experienced Gen I.

There are so many dimensions to this
No, kids, Red wasn't originally this stupid.

He was more stupid. My Red went to the Pokemon League with a team consisting of 5 lvl 20-30 and a freshly captured (and completely untrained) Zapdos. He got obliterated by Blue, of course.

I still don't remember how I got past the gyms. Maybe my memory is wrong and I did have some 'mons at lvl 40, because I see no other way.
 

ah yes, "The Casuals" Allow me to address the image maker for a minute, and prepare your sarcasm blast shields if you have delicate eyes.

You know, you're right, this is YOUR story, this thing on the internet? This is yours, the guy who made it? It's not his, the other guy who joined a minute before you and has a different opinion? It's not his either. No, this is yours and it's TRUE FORM is after the streamer made it, after he modded out soft reset, but before he modded in democracy/anarchy.

that very specific set of time, that's the true nature of the experiment, how could anyone not see that?

and that it's your favorite part of the experiment is totally unrelated!

Other people's favorite parts? Other people's opinion on 'what this is.' Other people's enjoyment and what they want to see out of the stream?

Just Casuals and their Filthy Casual Opinions. Get them the hell out right? If they don't agree then they don't matter!

If this thing can't be exactly what you want it to be might as well light the whole thing on fire so no one can enjoy it! Why "my way or the highway is practically the definition of 'collaborative!'

[/sarcasm]

Blech. It's practically the "My America" political phase all over again, and now held hostage by a lockstep minority opinion. Irony sure is a monster.

I don't care anymore what phase the stream is in, but the idea that one or the other phase is 'unnatural' is real nasty and egocentric I feel.
 
The tree scares me.
How does Cut work in R/B/Y? I vaguely remember that you had to open the start menu, choose the right pokemon and select Cut, instead of just pressing A when standing near a bush.

...It's the former, right? Because that makes that plan rather daunting...

They decided to get Eevee instead of Lapras, therefore filling up the sixth slot. They go to buy a water stone to get Vaporeon and end up getting a fire stone instead. Somehow they actually manage to use it, and thus Flareon came into this world.

Then they went to try to deposit Flareon in the PC because he was taking up a slot. So they go, and in the process, accidentally release Abby and Jay Leno. The Helix is also deposited.

Eventually they get the Helix back, and Flareon is deposited along with Drowzee. This makes Drowzee "The Keeper" because he locked the one true god away. So somehow they manage to withdraw Drowzee successfully, and Flareon is accidentally released.

Basically if they hadn't gotten Flareon, Abby and Jay Leno would probably still be here. All according to plan...

You can't make this shit up. I was laughing so hard when I found out about this part. I love how out of the 3 possible evolutions we could have gotten, it ended up being flareon who can easily be made out to be some sort of anti christ pokemon because its a fire type.

Damn, truly the accursed beast God Helix warned us about.

thanks for the insight guys.
 
I propose at some point when we can we catch a legendary bird and then use it. Oh don't worry, it will get released probably 10 minutes after but the accomplishment would be amazing.

We're never going near Articuno or Zapdos, and the odds of us running into and successfully catching Moltres are slim to none.

Although the symbolism of catching it and beating the elite 4 with our phoenix would be awesome.

So somehow they manage to withdraw Drowzee successfully, and Flareon is accidentally deleted forever. PRAISE THE HELIX FOSSIL!

Those eyes, they stare into your soul.
 
I don't disagree that it was an issue... but I don't agree that keeping them small would have been the solution. It makes no sense that the pokemon closer to you would be smaller than the pokemon you're fighting... and being in the first game it could have set a trend for all future games. The battle sequence as is is quite iconic for the series after all.

You're right. After looking at it, though, I'd still prefer the non pixelated backsprites even if you no longer get the sense of depth.

Also, unsurprisingly someone put Gen 2 sprites into Gen 1.

Yea, it is the former and we've cut lots of trees thanks to Dux.
 
honestly this social experiment is making me want to play pokemon the same way but with something like 10-100 people... i think it could truly be fun for a player at a much smaller scale.

Really? All three are just sitting and waiting. I'm sure we'll kill all three by accident but it would still be glorious if we caught one.

People ignored this logic and went with Eevee anyway and everything that was predicted to go wrong went wrong. i.e. wrong evolution stone was bought and worst of all, we had to mess with the PC, and then Abby and Jay Leno was released. After that twitch seemed to have attained a taste for blood and kept going back to the PC.
 
The tree sticks out a bit which will make it easy to cut the tree.

We can even go further to Route 7 as well.

No one here remembers that it took about 24 hours to cut the tree in Vermillion.

The runner of the stream gave an ULTIMATUM that the tree had to be cut in 2 hours or he was going to take over.

Definitely sounds like it was written after the fact.

Yeah. I really doubt they predicted the release of ABBBBBBK ( and Jay Leno.

However, they're right. Still, it gave us some of the funniest memes so I ain't complaining. I do miss Jay and Abby, though. :(
