Twitch Plays Pokemon Thread 2 - Don't Forget: You're here forever

Twitch NEEDS to act on the whole deal with BOTS in not just this stream but in all of them. There needs to be some kind of verification method that bots can't deal with and therefore be unable to make accounts.
 
Seth Meyers: After watching Twitch Plays Pokemon, millions of nostalgic gamers flock to their iPhone to download the old Pokemon games, only to find that they are still not there.

When asked for comment, Nintendo said "what is Twitch?"

Please tell me that really did happen on SNL recently.
 
Do you really not think that there aren't anarchist bots as well?

There obviously are some bots putting anarchy.

The people controlling the bots switch them around on a whim. At one point the dude controlling the 8888 block of bots had them all spamming start for like 4 hours.
 
Not enough? The slider has been around that area for the past 2 hours I've been watching.

It isn't going to be close to inch away further from that area unless a large amount of people feel we need democracy.

We've been maintaining anarchy for quite a while now. Did they even switch in the past 4 hours? Because if not then it's been anarchy since we got the Sliph Scope, to my knowledge.

I thought I'd try rating my favourite sprite for each Gen 1 Pokemon, so I quickly did the first 101 and will finish the next 50 in a mo. I actually discovered something I hadn't really realised before: I really dislike the sprites from Black/White and Black/White 2. The art style used is so passive and lacks the dynamism from earlier in the series. Also, there's exactly one sprite from Green, typically known for having the worst sprites, which is my favourite for that particular Pokemon; see if you can spot which one.

The streamer can require Facebook verification to be able to chat in their channel. This would eliminate the botting, but virtually no one uses this option.

Everything from Gengar to the end are the correct choices. But seriously, dat Gengar looks like a mean motherfucker, I love it.
