It's time to grind!

 

[ElFly]

Why are we trying to grind in the grass, when we can ran away and staryu gives more experience!

 

[chadboban]

Dammit, I'm in work right now so I can't see this for myself but it sounds interesting to say the least.

 

[Jimnymebob]

Seems the bots are gone.

Yeah, it's calmed down now thankfully. Hopefully progress'll be made.

 

[Cyrano]

Hopefully with some other games, cool concept.

What would be more interesting would be the stuff they did at AGDQ, where one of the streamers controlled the directional buttons and another streamer controlled the buttons.

In this case, the streamer would control one set of buttons (D-Pad or buttons) and the chat would control the other set. Would be super hilarious.

 

[Aurongel]

Clever idea, might be better if it were limited to a certain pool of users though.

 

[JackHerer]

They almost set the battle style to set

How every pokemon game should be played

This is amazing I got into the stream as they were battling Misty. I really hope the internet can beat the elite 4.

It's possible they could discover some really odd glitches that have never been found before because of how random the inputs are.

that sounds awesome.

 

[texasairhead101]

I will be disappointed if this doesn't end with a lvl 100 Raticate in the party.

 

[Jokab]

Wait, what happened to the moon stone? Was it tossed?

 

[Zacxx201]

This chat could use slow-mode, but I feel like that would ruin the chaotic magic that is TwitchPlaysPokemon.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Wait, what happened to the moon stone? Was it tossed?

Yup, I actually gasped when it happened. This run is magical, I'd love more of these but I don't know what other games this would work well with.

 

[Ragus]

This is amazing.

 

[inkls]

Hope this is archived, Twitch is blocked at my current location.

 

[Amppelix]

This chat could use slow-mode, but I feel like that would ruin the chaotic magic that is TwitchPlaysPokemon.

It actually was in slow mode an hour ago, but I dunno if it was better or worse for it.

 

[Toma]

Good thing they get away from these Ratatas safely.

If all else fails, we can also still blow them away with whirlwind. Failsafe.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Whirlwind and Roar were such ass back then, absolutely no use.

 

[HK-47]

"We are grinding until Pidgeot. Deal with it."

lol

 

[MistaBowaa]

Why are we trying to grind in the grass, when we can ran away and staryu gives more experience!

Although Staryu was giving 400 exp on a successful kill, the amount of time it took just to get to that point countered any benefit of a high exp kill. Fighting ratattas and spearows for 60k+ exp per kill will ultimately lead to higher exp over time.

 

[Toma]

"We are grinding until Pidgeot. Deal with it."

lol

Well... they ARE making progress finally again.

This sounds like a good plan except for the part where Staryu cannot be blown away or run from.

 

[CyclopsRock]

Not only is the pace/style of the game perfect for this but also people's familiarity with it; We know what it means to throw away a moon stone etc. There aren't too many other games with that much cultural awareness.

 

[FyreWulff]

Red walking around like when you gotta borrow the gameboy from your 6 year old cousin and the dpad is encrusted with slobber

 

[trixx]

Is it because of the delay of the twitch chat or are people purposely saying left and right in battles lol

 

[SteveWinwood]

I can't believe the moon stone was tossed.

L33t moon stone strats was my bet for biggest meme to come out of this.

 

[Pat]

I laughed my ass of when they switched for the Rattata and used infinite Tail Whip vs Starmie. Almost cried in fact.

A fighting game with this concept would be quite funny.

 

[CyclopsRock]

How'd you like THAT critical?!

 

[level44]

Doing well against Misty...

 

[Finalow]

fuck this might be the twist.

 

[Toma]

I didnt watch for a minute and they got back to Misty? How the hell did they do that this quickly.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Wonder how the sampling works; do they just take whatever input is at the top when the next active frame occurs? Think they could cut down on a lot of randomness by taking the mode of active inputs over some window.

 

[HK-47]

Throw the Helix Fossil at Starmie. Knock that fucker out.

 

[Finalow]

Whirlwind and Roar were such ass back then, absolutely no use.

actually they can be pretty useful, even in a normal run.
but yeah, using them for grinding like they did a while ago isn't very helpful.

another crit by Starmie, GG fuck this.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

WHY THE SWITCHING

actually they could be pretty useful.
but yeah, using them for grinding like they did a while ago isn't very helpful.

another crit by Starmie, GG fuck this.

But they didn't even work in trainer battles, which is their only use.

Also, they're STILL faster than Ash.

 

[MistaBowaa]

That was the fastest Staryu kill I've seen them do yet. The amount of damage Starmie took in one Gust, though, is a heartbreaker. Theres a long road to go before they have a shot at killing Starmie. He's doing 20 HP per attack with the Water Gun, and that doesnt take the ungodly crits into account

 

[Teddified]

This is really something. Just pure insanity.

[level44]

It will be cool waking up tomorrow morning and seeing the progress.

Spoiler

Or they'll still be in the same position fighting Misty.

 

[daydream]

They should have kept grinding on Route 3, I tell you. Help control that Spearow overpopulation.

Pidgeotto ain't gonna cut it against Misty.

 

[HK-47]

They have to wait until 31 to get a move to oust whirlwind.

 

[Joni]

They managed to save again.

 

[Toma]

They have to wait until 31 to get a move to oust whirlwind.

And then there is a 3 in 4 chance they'll kick out the wrong move.

 

[LycanXIII]

They have to wait until 31 to get a move to oust whirlwind.

You mean Gust, right?

 

[HK-47]

You mean Gust, right?

Have you seen the trouble whirlwind causes? At least gust does damage and has STAB.

 

[Finalow]

But they didn't even work in trainer battles, which is their only use.

easy way to escape.

 

[Randdalf]

The next trouble after Misty will be cutting the tree down, can see that taking a looonng time.

 

[MicH]

Yeah, Whirlwind is a big problem since it seems to get selected almost every time

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

And then there is a 3 in 4 chance they'll kick out the wrong move.

50% chance they won't even kick out a move. So unless I'm mistaken a 12.5% chance Whirlwind goes.

 

[LycanXIII]

Have you seen the trouble whirlwind causes? At least gust does damage and has STAB.

Have you seen the trouble Twitch chat causes?

 

[ElFly]

We will never pick up Whirlwind to replace it, you guys. It's gonna be a clusterfuck of moves.
