The Safari Zone lets you in if you're broke.

The problem with this is that you only get one ball. They WILL walk into grass and encounter a pokemon and they WILL accidentally use the ball. When you run out of balls the safari zone ends and you have to start over. There is a 0% chance they will make it that way.

 

[everyday math]

Go to the pokemon center!!!!

 

[MetalGuardian]

That's badass.

Hell yeah it is!

Is that an arm or a leg?

Forearm!

Since we're on the topic, another friend (who became a lifelong pal way back in Kindergarten when he came over and helped me with Yoshi's Island on the SNES) got this tattoo back in 2012:

He also does these really freaking cool art projects where he makes pictures of pokemon out of pokemon cards:

Another friend is going to get a Blastoise tattoo, and I'm thinking of getting a Charizard one. It would represent the friendship between the four of us more than anything else, because we all vividly remember bonding over the gen I days!

 

[linko9]

Does anyone know for sure? If we wipe, where will we go back to? I'm pretty sure we used the Pokemon center in the city, but some people don't seem to think so...

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

Thread title should really be updated to "Over Fifty Thousand Monkeys on One Typewriter". Alternatively, 'Wrap: the Simulator" and "BASED PIDGEOT" are acceptable subtitles.

Or:

"Too many cooks spoil the game"

"Too many dicks on the Pokefloor"

 

[Gardex]

Amazing.

This is perfect, simply perfect

 

[bluelightningduo]

Amazing.

Glorious.

Also, Fuck geodude.

 

[TheOGB]

Good Lord, this is going to destroy us, one way or the other.

 

[Limit]

...how on earth would he take a photo of his leg adjacent to the door like that

How do you know he took that photo by himself?

 

[Mory Dunz]

Someone said they healed at Celadon. May be a troll.

Can anyone confirm?

 

[CrocMother]

We haven't healed since Lavender. If we lose now, we have to go all the way back.

sure about that?

 

[Oli]

Is this thing constantly a battle of hundreds of people or has there been a time of day when a few people have cooperated to get stuff done?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I guess we'll be going back to Lavender, then...

 

[Blizzard]

It seems they're now going for the suicide way. Maybe is for the best

Edit: According to chat, yes, they healed already at Celadon Pokecenter

Losing money is bad, but if they did already heal at this pokecenter then I guess suicide is not that bad of an option.

However, do the trees respawn inside the gym? If so it would be the same number of tree cuts if I'm not miscounting, or even fewer, if they go to heal.

 

[Chuck]

wow

 

[Ambient80]

Amazing.

LOL @ the Fossil worshippers. This is brilliant.

 

[TheAbsolution]

When chat has a clear direction, things tend to happen fast.
This is not one of those times.

Trees respawn when you leave the area.

 

[Kawaii]

/Team suicide/ atleast if we have healed in celadon.

 

[Imtey]

how did they make pidgeot evolve? :O

 

[Revven]

In honor of this stream, anytime you get a Pidgeot you must name it "Twitch Chat" or simply "Twitch".

 

[Waluigilicious]

Social experiment.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Guys you know what's worse than picking left or right? Picking neither and being stuck in purgatory.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Definitely need more drill sergeants in the chat!

 

[Mory Dunz]

Wow, this tug of war...


lol, decide something. Doing nothing will end up taking longer than #TeamHeal or #TeamKamikaze

The Safari Zone is impossible anyway without a level of coordination much higher than anything we've seen so far.

 

[Chuck]

how did they make pidgeot evolve? :O

as you can see, they can't exactly move through grass quickly..

also pidgey evolves with just exp

Every time I tune in they're wedged in a corner of the world surrounded by jumpable ledges.

 

[bluelightningduo]

I think the streamer took over, I imagine the same thing will happen for Charizard.

 

[Wh0 N0se]

That art was amazing!

 

[Blizzard]

Trees respawn when you leave the area.

Ah. So not only does going to suicide require the same or MORE tree cuts than other options, but there is a very good chance people are trolling and the game has not healed in Celadon yet.

In other words, the logical and safe choice is going to heal, which means people will fight against it.

 

[bon]

This conflict is wasting more time than wiping would save.
JUST GO TO THE POKEMON CENTER

 

[MickeyKnox]

Just had a thought, as the game is essentially completely turn based since there are no in between states, would it be possible for the input system that goes from chat to the emulator to take all the commands it receives in the window of time that passes as the game moves from one state to the other and calculate the average input it registers then only send that command to the game,

 

[Ambient80]

I think the streamer took over, I imagine the same thing will happen for Charizard.

Nope, stream lag. One of those instances where no commands work because of lag/overload. It happened at the pristine time.

 

[everyday math]

Whatever happened to getting Eve?

Yeah, people have mentioned that.

 

[Chuck]

wait, what do you mean? why couldn't the chat just do it?

 

[Kawaii]

What's the problem with safari zone again? What's the goal there? Getting to a HM right?

 

[Imtey]

I think the streamer took over, I imagine the same thing will happen for Charizard.

looking back at the thread, it looks like input lag? so im guessing they walked into the grass and found a random pokemon and they didnt have time to press b?

@kawaii, you need to do it in a certain amount of steps, 500 i think

 

[Gardex]

Ah. So not only does going to suicide require the same or MORE tree cuts than other options, but there is a very good chance people are trolling and the game has not healed in Celadon yet.

There are two other trainers in the gym that you dont have to cut your way to

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Streamer didn't take over, stream just crashed.

 

[Ironjam]

What's the problem with safari zone again? What's the goal there? Getting to a HM right?

You have to complete it in maximum 500 steps i think, impossible for this level of coordination.

 

[Blizzard]

wait, what do you mean? why couldn't the chat just do it?

Because someone would manually or with a script be spamming B, possibly from multiple accounts, preventing anything from evolving.

There are two other trainers in the gym that you dont have to cut your way to

Ah, I guess it would be one less bush then.

 

[kiguel182]

Way ahead of ya.

I think I'm going to photoshop Pigeot on Moe. Seems appropriate.

 

[Imtey]

Because someone would manually or with a script be spamming B, possibly from multiple accounts, preventing anything from evolving.

Yeah thats what i assumes but i guess no one was fast enough to press b if they suddenyl walked into a random pokemon

 

[Stulaw]

What's the problem with safari zone again? What's the goal there? Getting to a HM right?

Surf, it's needed to complete the game, getting to Seafoam and Cinnabar Island, and yeah, it's impossible unless a miracle happens.

Also, it's been nearly 3 hours since arriving in Celadon.

 

[bon]

It looks like they're trying to cut the tree in the Gym now.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Surf, it's needed to complete the game, getting to Seafoam and Cinnabar Island, and yeah, it's impossible unless a miracle happens.

Also the Golden Teeth which give you Strength. God I can't believe they put 2 HM's in a step limited zone.

It's possible to do, the streamer has to want to do it.

 

[bluelightningduo]

Why are we even trying to cut this tree, as opposed to walking to one of the other 2 trainers?
