I'm pretty sure the ice cracks behind you and you have to walk on every tile on every floor before being able to access stairs to the next floor, or something like this. Basically step on every tile on the floor exactly once before you can progress type of puzzle.

Nope, you can only step on each tile of ice once, otherwise it breaks through and you have to start all the way over at the very beginning of the gym. That leaves an exact path that you must walk, and if you deviate from it even ONCE, you have to do it all over again.

I think there is dialogue in the game for if you lack the entrance fee (IIRC you only get 10 safari balls as a consequence, which will be just as bad for this run as running out of balls means you're kicked out). The step limit is more of a problem though.
Thinking of the safari zone, does anyone remember if glitch city requires a soft reset? (I remember you need to save in the safari zone then try to leave which makes the game give the welcome dialogue instead so you can leave with the safari zone timer going down still)

Also loads of other spin-offs. Including an emerald one (nowhere near the choatic gyms yet though).
RSE's ice puzzle there was different. You have to step on every ice tile once before the path is revealed (those small barriers between the sections are supposed to be slops). If you step on any individual tile twice you fall into a cavern below where all the trainers are waiting.

please don't troll though
And yeah i agree, venasaur is the best gen 1 starter
You have to crack every square without breaking it, ie you have to choose a path that makes you step on every tile exactly once and leaves you at the next stairs. Missing a tile will leave the exit blocked, and hitting the same one twice will make it break, so you fall down and have to start over.
So are the first two rooms just trivial? They look trivial.
Edit: Ah, yes. As I suspected in my previous edit. Solved all three, then, but I can see why it might be... inconvenient for Twitch.

So are they trying to release every Pokemon they have? Why do they so desperately try to get to the computer?

Blue is going to beat Red. Red is too chaotic.
To get from one small ice room to the next, you must step exactly once on every tile in that room. That requires planning and very precise input to do, so it's going to be downright impossible for a group of 50K users.
I was online just as the room did the whole Erika thing, which was amazing, and left shortly before they got the Eevee. It's sad to see ABBBBBBBK( go, but Jay wasn't particularly good at this point in the game, anyway.
Still, Flareon has been awful until 5th or 6th gen, so it'd be ridiculously bad now. Jolteon would be good, as would Vaporeon, though (surf user!).

Whats the team ike on the blue stream?
Blastoise, Bellsprout...
About 400 people is a lot more manageable.
Also, Venusaur is the best one period.
I wonder if the trolls will start to jump ship to Blue if/when Blue overtakes Red.
Twitch spent an entire day getting past a single ledge, they'd take longer than that with just the first room.
Thinking about it, this is interesting while they are effectively playing Pokemon just with wild and crazy controls, but one important component of playing Pokemon is using the PC, and that's just too scary.
I'm thinking that a version of this simply hacked to make releasing impossible would open up the game in interesting ways. They're not going to fill all the boxes, after all.

FAQ says it got deposited. Poor RNG run is never going to cut down that tree though...or find Lt. Surge.

We're done for a long, long time now, I think. Not only has the purpose gone, but the fact the purpose has gone has become meta - people are deliberately try to push the fact the purpose has gone. Ordinary users are becoming trolls by the second.

When did Abby get released? :lol

I always like Blasty since you can teach it Ice Beam for more coverage.
Goddamn Eevee lovers did this. All of it.
I think it's torn between people wanting to release Eevee and the trolls jumping on the moment for pure chaos. If Pidgeot ends up getting released the admin may as well stop the stream. That's the last viable Pokemon in the group.
YOU MONSTERS!!!!

The very fact there was a disagreement in the first place did this, regardless of which side you were on. The longer strife went on, the easier it became to perpetuate, the less people felt they could make useful contributions, and the more power the trolls had. If we'd either all backed Eevee, or all not, we'd have been fine - it was our division that killed us.
This is perfect, because it can be extended to include an Eevee in place of the troll Troy is afraid of.
#TeamEevee has turned the run into a giant clusterfuck. Abby and Jay Leno got released when they tried to use the PC.
They bought a Fire Stone and promptly tossed it.
Yeah, apparently it also released the Charizard it had, and it has no more money, so it is pretty much permanently stuck.
Eevee created the situation where there was no open slot for a Pokemon that could learn surf, except for those that held the ridiculous notion that they could somehow evolve it to Vaporeon. It completely destroyed the will of everyone who was trying to play the game seriously. There are only trolls and people who have no idea what to do left now.

Can't have anything without trolls and bots spoiling it.
Jump ship to rng plays emerald!!

Wasn't it anti-Eevee people that went to the PC?
Edit: nevermind, this makes sense.
Still, this assumes that they'll ever have surf Kappa

I feel like all the copycats are just boring and take the novel concept and run way too far with it. If they win with only a very small audience, the success wont be all that satisfying. Oh well.

I don't get back from my trip until tonight, but my copycat hope is that this could be amazing fun with some RPG Maker games, both of the horror and RPG variety. The one downside is I'd have to keep a closer eye on it as you can exit the game from the title screen, and reach the title screen from the menu or death, but the thought of people trying to work some of these game heavily amuses me.
