I must praise the QA of this game given that we have been bug bashing for 7 days straight and not discovered any new bugs.
 
I see they are still in the same town. Did anything bad hapen overnight, team still the same? I went to bed 5 min after they released 2 pokemon yesterday.
 
Wuh-oh. Looks like frustration with Diggy has come to a head. We may be heading to the PC

EDIT: Guess not. But I swear if we dig out of the 3rd floor one more time...
 
I remember reading in an Iwata asks some time back that they had finished the game but had done memory left over so they decided just to add stuff on top of that which is why there are so many bugs.

I might be making this up though.

No you're sorta right. The "stuff" you're talking about is Mew

That's right, the game was completely done with QA (fat lot of good that did it), approved for release and everything, and the devs decided at the last minute to add all of Mew's data to the little bit of empty space left without telling anyone about it.
 
You would think that by now we knew how to operate with the lag better. There are moments where that seems to be the case and we have much smoother-looking control of Red and menus, but then we dig out of the tower for the umpteenth time.

Maybe we all need some rest :P

Completely new to making gifs like this. Learning with each one.

It didn't add bugs. The debug features (300 bytes) were removed to add the Mew data though. Iwata Asks here. According to that; The bug was people could get Mew in ways they had not figured out how to reproduce. It lead to a contest to get Mew and then the games popularity exploded...

A lot of the bigger Gen 1 bugs are basically memory management issues (as the Game Boy really lacks the RAM to handle such an RPG) and things not getting cleaned up so getting used where they shouldn't (like gltich city triggered by Safari zone exit on routes).
 
Did we already beat the trainer by the stairs?

edit: HOLY SHIT. FLAWLESS.

Now get to the healing pad before digrat realises we're on the 4th floor
 
Advertising

While I have the ability to run advertisements I have made the decision to not show any during gameplay, I think it's frustrating enough without interruptions, I also don't want to give subscribers an unfair advantage.

Is the ad that plays when you tune in normal twitch standard?
 
We're playing smart so far. We just gotta keep calm and press B more

Seriously, there was a disturbing dearth of Bs when we almost Dug out again

HEAL PAD GO GO GO GO
 
Holy shit, progress being made. We might actually get to the top
if we spam the shit out of b to stay out of the pause menu.
