The measure of how much chat has broken down is in how long it has been with us unable to even heal our Pokemon.

As someone who never finished the original Pokemon, is there anything that can't be resolved with time? Is there a "gate" in the game that you cannot pass if you mess up a one shot thing, such as losing or missing an item? Or burn through a limited amount of in game items in the wrong way? It sounds like things have gone pear shaped but conceivably reconcilable through lots more time.

The original game has a key item (2 actually) located within an area that must be traversed within 500 steps and with an entry fee each time. If you run out of money to pay the fee, you're essentially boned. It's being hacked to be passable in this emulator.

Also there's a long convoluted method to get yourself stuck on an island but you need to try to do that.

Based Pidgeot is still with us so there's some hope. If we ever reach victory road we can get the sky attack tm from there then it will have a flying move. Or we could teach it hyper beam...

It's still a period of mourning. One day we will pull through.

 

[Twilightzoney]

Should have went for Vaporeon anyways, Flareon is horrible anyways. But yeah they should have kept a slot open for Lapras. Very disappointing now.

A thousand monkeys...

Everything is doable eventually.

 

[Azure J]

Seeing that gif made me so happy I wasn't previously invested in this. Releasing starters was a cardinal sin to me in the RBY days.

 

[Chezzymann]

We need to deposit a pokemon for lapras. Starting to think #TeamEevee is just filled with trolls lol

No we don't. Using the PC is too big of a risk because we dont know whats going to happen when we touch it. We already lost two pokemon. We need to just stay away from it altogether.

 

[ec0ec0]

WHAT THEY TOSSED IT FOR REAL?

. ABBBBBBK... Im not going to be able to look at that evee now...

 

[Kimaka]

See? See? Eevee is killing us.

RIP in peace ABBBBBBK (

 

[thehunter01]

I really wanted to see abbbbk evolve :/

I think the Safari Zone is the only problem - you get two items needed to finish the game there, but there's a step count limit to get them + you have to pay money to enter. If we run out of money and don't have a Meowth with Pay Day, we're screwed.

 

[Pureauthor]

We may end up losing most of our Pokemon if we do that, but we can still advance.

We cannot advance without a Surfing pokemon.

The only alternative is to go get a Water Stone, but if you think this chat is going to do anything that would benefit Eevee...

 

[Bumhat]

THEY'RE ON THE PC!

 

[Azure J]

That's not Jolteon.

If this is Red version, Jolteon, Arcanine and Lapras would be awesome.

 

[bluepolicebox]

Blood has been spilled this night. Poor Abby and Jay Leno.

 

[wamberz1]

Christ, every time they access the pc its a game of death.

 

[Alucrid]

Blood has been spilled this night. Poor Abby and Jay Leno.

We lost Jay? I was literally just thinking, "At least we still have Jay Leno"

what

the

fuck

 

[trixx]

Instead of going to the game corner, then going to the pokemon tower so we can go to the rocket hideout in saffron to get Lapras on the team, they go catch an oddish. Why? Now we don't have room for a lapras, so Charmeleon and Jay Leno's death is a waste

this is hillarious.

 

[Insaniac]

lol this game why did the try to access the PC in the first place

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

So we lost a rattata and what else?

There must be a huge number of people in the chat who are there for trolling purposes. Like, 20% at least.

Can't we go to the daycare instead? I know its a lot harder to get to, but its better than risking losing pidgeot...

ABBBBBBK, Our Charmeleon.

Our Charmeleon.

Who was, in objective terms, pretty shit, but we'd grown fond of him.

 

[CassSept]

To deposit Eevee.

Needless to say it did not appreciate our efforts.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I'm guessing that Pidgeot is going to just have to grind up to level 75 or something and solo the elite 4.

 

[kiguel182]

As long as we have Pigeot we have a change.

believe.

 

[Isotope]

what if they release pidgeot on accident

 

[Feorax]

Fire stone sighting.

 

[Pureauthor]

We were trying to deposit Jay Leno.

Because the level 25 Eevee is more useful than the level 15 Rattata.

 

[Toma]

Not going to be much use if it only has Gust, Quick Attack and 2 non attacks.

 

[Bluth54]

I really wanted to see abbbbk evolve :/

He never would of evolved.

 

[harmonize]

Pokemon Gold/Silver would be borderline impossible with this many players.
(Not that Blue/Red are that much easier)

Why?

And Ruby and Sapphire:

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Went to sleep after the eevee civil war, just checking back in. They lost the fire stone and abbk? Ouch. I knew that plan was too complicated to work.

 

[Speedwagon]

He never would of evolved.

Are you sure? Before people were trying to stop a Pokemon from evolving, but it didn't stop. I think the input is too short to register.

 

[Gardex]

Chat was incredibly in sync when trying to get to Erika and while defeating her.

Now it's no progress at all because people keep trying to access the PC

 

[Josephl64]

what if they release pidgeot on accident

if that happened, my interest in this would die down almost completely

 

[Sanic]

I'm disappointed in the sense that anything they can do to make this more difficult will be done.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Even a lvl 100 Pidgeot wouldn't be able to solo it. There is no way to heal reliably, so it'll just keep dieing by Lorelei's Ice beams and Bruno's Rock Slides. Pidgeot is a really bad Pokemon.

 

[Drkirby]

I always just assumed you couldn't release the starters.

 

[silver.tongue]

Do we have a consensus on what do next?

I'm at work so I can't open the stream tight now. (I mean I can but I really shouldn't).

 

[bluelightningduo]

The Civil War rages on.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

RIP Jay Leno. ABBBBK ( on the other hand was a useless shit.

 

[trixx]

Blue stream is now oon their way to fighting Erika with their superior Blastoise

Dat wrap spam lmao

 

[mclem]

There's some nuance I'm missing here. I'm assuming you can't walk along the path straight - fair enough. But usually for ice it goes with a system of 'careen until you hit the wall', and that looks impossible. Can you move the rocks, maybe?

 

[Jazz-ism]

thats a wrap. if we had at least the flareon we had a chance. once abby was freed all hope was lost. once the fire stone was tossed that was the final straw.

can we reset?

You can't move rocks or anything like that.

 

[mclem]

You can't move rocks or anything like that.

So what are the core mechanics on the ice?

Edit: Wait. Looking at the first two rooms, it could also plausibly be a "Step on every square" puzzle. Is it that?

Edit2: Yeah, the third room's solvable that way, too.

 

[qq more]

So what are the core mechanics on the ice?

If you take a step, you'll slide until you hit a wall or rock

 

[Jazz-ism]

dog everything fell apart right after that.

it took them 30-45 mins to cut one tree to EXIT the gym...lol

 

[Samer]

So what are the core mechanics on the ice?

You just slide in the direction you input until you reach a wall or a rock, can't be changed until you stop.
