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

I haven't bought a video game themed t-shirt since early high school (I've graduated college now), but I might have to throw money down for one commemorating this event. I need SOME sort of material object to honor the occasion. Is anybody selling posters of some of the fanart for this yet?

I would love a poster or two from this, that would be awesome. Don't know of anything like that though. Especially with copyright stuff muddying the way.
 
I hope this fun time doesn't end with Nintendo realizing 80k people are concurrently playing a Pokemon rom on an emulator for all the world to see and try to shut it down.

On a happy note, this thing has generated some amazing t-shirt designs! Might actually get one.

I'm in the same bought, except I've never bought a video game themed T.
 
Could one enter a thread with a more pretentious post?

In what way is my post pretentious? I was just asking why you guys feel they this particular game, rather than another jrpg. One with say, color?

This shirt kills me.

Part of the reason Pokemon Red is such a great choice is that so many people have played it and loved it and are familiar with it.

Nobody played Earthbound.
 
I started a playthrough with LeafGreen yesterday. I chose Bulbasaur. Then I caught a Pidgey and it's currently my highest level Pokemon. Gonna get the Helix Fossil, SS Ticket and will make a Vaporeon. And I play while watching TPP.
 
Man, you all are just the best. Praise be to the helix for how awesome GAF is!

I've been enjoying myself way more than I should be. Everything about this experience has been amazing and I'd definitely buy a Helix Fossil key chain to consult in my time of need. Maybe we should tweet Fangamer about it.
 
It's like Misty's gym, only with 70,000 more people and four deadweights.

I still don't get what compelled Gamefreak to make GUST a normal type move.
For some reason wind type attacks (Whirlwind, Razor Wind, Gust) are all normal type in gen 1, and only Gust got changed in later gens IIRC.

The game being played has to be highly tolerant of the player making mistakes. Pokemon sends you back to the last checkpoint you hit, but doesn't reset the world state or cost you exp, so even guided chaos can progress given enough time. If it were difficult in the slightest or had real consequences for failure, this wouldn't work.

Hmm... is there any reason copyright stuff would interfere with posters but not shirts? It seems like they all face the same degree of illegality :P

You're one of the lucky ones, then. My nickname in highschool was "Nintendo" because I had no sense of social competency and only wore video game shirts. I took it as a complement at the time, which is hilarious in retrospect, because highschool jocks are some cruel motherfuckers.

Oh man, I think a keychain would be the item I'd want the most out of this. Subtle, yet always with you. Just like Lord Helix's guidance.

Because I love the game, because I have a huge amount of nostalgia for it, because it's perfectly suited for this control scheme and because, frankly, the lack of color doesn't bother me at all. Why should we be playing a "better" jrpg instead of Pokemon Red again?

EDIT: sorry if I sound too defensive and/or aggressive, that's not my intention and I apologize for that

I want a Helix sticker for my brand new 3DS. xD
Now you made me want one too, and I'm a person who never liked putting stickers on anything.
 
So are we going to be in a purgatory of pidegot fighting a ghastly he can't hit while the ghastly has it's accuracy lowered and can't hit either and it's a trainer battle so we can't run
