All this running out of money talk is forgetting a key trump card- Pay Day
Click to expand...

If you have run out of money, you can't buy the Pokeballs to catch a Meowth with. To guarantee our safety, we'd need to a) catch a Meowth, and b) teach it an HM so it can't be removed.

EDIT: Huh, apparently Meowth can't learn any HMs in Gen 1, so we're still stuck. There's a Pay Day TM later in the game, but you need Surf as it is in Cinnabar.

Wait, you apparently DO need money in these games to enter Safari.

Guess money is important.

As long as we can sell something for $500 we're fine, but the lack of control over the game means that we will be locked at fuchsia with no way to progress most likely.

Is it likely money will become an issue?

I mean, there's a ton more trainers ahead, right? Or is it the issue of collaboration and constantly blacking out?

Hmm, I somehow doubt that is going to happen, lol.

Is it possible via emulator to battle someone online? Could be interesting to have two twitch channels battling each other.

That could lead the internet to a whole new level. No kidding, it would be like two semi-autonomous A.I. battling inside a virtual world.

This should be studied.

This looks like the new plan:

Also you don't need money to get into safari zone. Game will still let you in if you're broke.

Again, if we get stuck in one spot for say, weeks, viewership will have a huge decline, letting us get past the problematic area, bringing back the viewers again. It's a cycle that's a part of this - it's why there should be no intervention, even if this takes a year.

We would also have to hope we get it the first time or else we'll run out of things to sell.

People mean that there's a particular point in the game where, if you don't get it right within a sufficient number of tries, you are stuck forever. To get Surf, you need to access the Safari Zone. To get into the Safari Zone, you need $500. If you don't have $500, you can't get into the Safari Zone, and you can't progress through the game. Thus, it becomes impossible to complete. I agree for all other issues, we should leave Twitch to itself, but I think we'll have to get the admin to do the Safari Zone for us.

Apparently there are troll bots spamming directions, so this may not be a realistic scenario

Based on the version of emulator this is we need to get a Mewoth from say route 8 level it up to 17 teach it pay day and the issue is solved without intervention. With that amount of coordination require and things that could go wrong, it's really a pipe dream till the viewer count drops.

No. We could accidentally release Meowth, and Meowth doesn't learn any HMs, so we can't solve the problem that way.

Imagine we find some unknown glitch/easter egg from this ridiculousness

Although I'm sure the code has been dived into and turned outside out by now
