Spent a hour reconnecting, no dice. Closest I found was a D. Oh well.

 

[TrickRoom]

Wonder Trade and the Passerby system is truly the best feature of this generation.

 

[PBalfredo]

Is the circle pad activated for this? I'm not quite sure I understand how they're controlling it this time. Most of the inputs I see are for the touch screen.

It will be activated once we get the skates. It will be the inputs with c in the front, like cup cdown etc.

LOL

 

[Zelias]

Welp, we just got Lady Helix lol.

Edit: Beaten

 

[ratcliffja]

I thought I was being original when I named my Omastar Lady Helix .

 

[PBalfredo]

The sudden lightning strike animation for when we receive an O power in the middle of battle is so badass.

So would tapping up on the C-stick, with this protagonist, be D cup?

More seriously, though, how are we going to drag food into our Pokémon's mouth if we can't drag on the touchscreen? Or can we?

 

[PBalfredo]

The amount of O powers we're getting from passersby watching the stream is really putting a new twist on the Twitch Plays Pokemon concept.

 

[Zelias]

And now we have Lord Helix too!

 

[Crayolan]

We easily rolled over Viola and got our first badge. O-Powers are making it difficult for any of our pokemon to faint, let alone coming anywhere near blacking out.

 

[PBalfredo]

O Powers are basically a gameplay system that finally manifests this

into this:

 

[redmetal86]

D? That is his name?

If he can't hang, he's got to get out the game....

 

[lolpho]

I can't wait for Twitch Plays Pokemon to make a comeback. With the great turnout for the start of X, imagine how much there will be for Omega Ruby. It will legitimately be a new experience for many of us and is essentially a let's play that we play Kreygasm

 

[redmetal86]

Let's see can they avoid getting lost in Lumiose.

 

[Crayolan]

I'm dying, this is great.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Hahaha, we're getting destroyed online.

That was a close battle though.

EDIT: Fum everyone.

 

[PBalfredo]

Aw yeah, Charmeleon hype!

 

[ratcliffja]

True story: I beat Pokemon Y and had no idea there were doctors in the game. It was never an issue.

 

[Maintenance]

I'm liking it so far. I've always wanted to replay the game but I don't want to lose my progress (yes, I know about PokeBank). I will eventually buy X only for replays/Nuzlockes/Wedlockes, and keep Y as my main, but right now since I only have one of them I cannot do that

EDIT: Holy crap, we took hours to beat that Brains and Brawl.

 

[Temathael]

EDIT: Holy crap, we took hours to beat that Brains and Brawl.

That's pretty much the hardest battle of the game

Team is looking nice, need to get rid of the other Hawlucha. Finally we have a ghost type too.

Quilladin is sadly in the pc, but that's what happens to most starters anyway. At least we have Charmeleon! Also, apparently a level 10 Helix holds our Sail Fossil in the PC.

Nice to see a solid amount of viewers (and inputs) after the <1k the stream had during the last 2 runs, thank you 3DS and novelty!

 

[LAUGHTREY]

How is this possible? Is he capturing from a 3DS or is it running on an emulator still?


I thought the 3DS wasn't emulated yet.

How are they putting inputs from an IRC chat into a 3DS? ...How do you capture from a 3DS?

Modified 3DS with capturecard.

In other words some rather complicated hardware rig

 

[Ocarina_117]

Just saw a tweet about the Helix wonder trade.

Holy shit.

 

[ratcliffja]

Just saw a tweet about the Helix wonder trade.

Holy shit.

We haven't done any wonder trading. We did regular trading the first day and got a shiny beldum and a female omanyte called "lady helix" among other things. The streamer has since turned off WiFi, though.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Any tweets talking about Wonder Trade are misinformed. It was a direct trade.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Man i laughed so hard at our struggle at just getting lucario on our team. Thats the most I've seen the chat get so pulled against each other.

 

[PBalfredo]

It's about the moment of truth. Daycare time. We either deposit the duplicate Hawlucha and make room for the Lapras we need to progress, leaving us with a legitimately awesome team, or the PC intensifies...

edit: apparently we're taking a detour to get the Shadow Claw TM

 

[PBalfredo]

I had to clock out for the night before we got to the daycare, but I wake up to find that it amazingly went off without a hitch. Only the duplicate Hawlucha was deposited and we picked up Lapras. It looks like we have our final team and it is quite simply amazing!

source

Not only did we end up with an awesome team, but we managed to get the mega stone on to Charizard, allowing him to mega evolve! It's beautiful

 

[ratcliffja]

It's funny how disabling evolution canceling barely mattered this gen. The only Pokemon on our team we actually needed to evolve were Charizard and Doublade. Once we get and use a dusk stone (we'll have 2 chances realistically), our team should be fully evolved.

 

[PBalfredo]

I'm glad we do have forced evolutions though. Getting Tiger into a Charizard is extremely cathartic considering Abby never got the chance...

And if we can get eviolite onto Doublade, then who needs Aegislash?

Absol? You rock, TPP! And so does Absol

 

[PBalfredo]

BTW, entering the Luminos City gym right now. Quiz time!

 

[Storm Kyleis]

That's awesome

 

[Maintenance]

I still cannot believe they managed to put the Mega Stone on Charizard. So awesome.

WOW, that was intense. Charizard saving us in the end.

 

[PBalfredo]

Fashion Riot!

Our new green hat/bag and purple shirt combo actually works pretty well together.

We look

 

[Andrefpvs]

We're looking pretty stylish!

 

[PBalfredo]

Any bets on how long until we screw ourselves by mega evolving Charizard X in the fairy gym?

edit: Replaced Dragon Rage with Flamethrower! Great trade!

 

[Maintenance]

It's over! Another one in the bag, easier than I thought it would be.

 

[PBalfredo]

Valerie status: REKT

Charizard's new Flamethrower helped us out a lot.

And Doublade learned Iron Head. Nice.

 

[Crayolan]

Oh my god we got 3 badges since I last checked last night. Well that certainly says a lot about X. >_>

 

[Ondore]

The ingame pacing in XY is really off-kilter. You go 7-8 hours (standard run) without a badge, then four in a row with one route in between each.

 

[kyo2004]

6 Badges on almost 3 days?... :/... even surpases me (4 badges, playing a bit slower Y a couple of days ago)...

Exp. Share OP... (ye olde grind style was so mainstream)...

[everyday math]

These haircuts are pretty hilarious.

And we needed up with the same haircut XD

 

[PBalfredo]

Looks like we finally settled on a haircut that was stylish enough to let us buy a fancy new fedora from the Luminos boutique.

 

[everyday math]

M'Ladie

 

[ratcliffja]

That fedora crap seriously makes me not want to watch anymore.

 

[Maintenance]

I'm sorry M'lady Serena, but your team is just too weak.

Spoiler

They need to remove that fedora, asap.
