I want a race between this stream and pokemon played by an actual RNG.

The twitch thing is somewhat directed, it would always win.

 

[789shadow]

WE NEED POKEBALLS

How are you going to buy them? Hardest thing in the fucking game lol.

 

[Nyoro SF]

The Twitch grandmaster saved the emulator state after beating Misty lol.

Smart move.

 

[emb]

That was hype.

Kinda makes up for periodically having tuned in over the last 4-5 hours to see constant Misty losses and confused grinding.

 

[Son Of D]

I do wonder how Rock Tunnel will be done. Since you need Flash to get through there.

 

[Andrefpvs]

I don't think you lose money in gen 1 do you?

You lose HALF your money when you lose in Gen I. Shit was pretty intense.

 

[789shadow]

They actually managed to heal their Pokemon.

 

[KiraFA37]

Actually healed their pokemon. TWICE. THRICE.

 

[santi_yo]

Heal pokemahs! NAOOO

 

[Anth0ny]

so many trolls typing in B

there is literally no reason to press the b button unless you want to get out of a menu

 

[Toma]

First time I played Pokemon I thought the challenge was to make it through blind because I didnt know about flash. I can guarantee you that its doable.

Yes, I got through it blind even without knowing the dungeon layout.

 

[RedShift]

Holy shit they beat Misty?

Why am I stuck in delayed train hell

Have they got the S.S. Anne ticket yet?

 

[Boogiepop]

Lol, the epic struggle to heal pokemon.

 

[KojiKnight]

The Twitch grandmaster saved the emulator state after beating Misty lol.

I don't blame him... I'd imagine that Pokemon, the emulator, and the program used to stream were all not designed with 24/7 running in mind... any of those could be a weak link in the chain.

Not yet, if you missed it

it was a thing of beauty.

I'm sure they'll just toss that.

I think the trolls are the ones pressing start and the people typing B to counteract that are the good guys, no? Wouldn't have lost that Moon Stone if more people had typed in B.

 

[trixx]

definitely. finally winning was great

 

[eliochip]

Trolls will make this impossible. Mankind will not let this happen

 

[Alfredo]

I hope someone is recording this if it isn't set up to be archived. I'd love to see the playthrough sped up.

 

[Josephl64]

that's the way I see it

 

[KojiKnight]

This. B pressers are the anti-trolls. The trolls are pressing start/select. The only time B presses are useful is in counteracting those.

 

[789shadow]

Imagine if they pull off the Mew glitch.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

It's actually to counteract the trolls that keep pressing start for no reason. But yeah, it screws up other things instead.

 

[Mit-]

Coordinating cut on a bush is going to be actually impossible.

Does anyone know how they got a third Pokemon?

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I don't blame him... I'd imagine that Pokemon, the emulator, and the program used to stream were all not designed with 24/7 running in mind... any of those could be a weak link in the chain.

It did freeze for at least a good 5 seconds during the misty battle.

 

[trixx]

because of start trolls

 

[BlueMagic]

People are gonna keep going aren't they?
We should bet on how long it will take till we beat Surge. By saturday night gmt -3 is my guess.

 

[DaBoss]

Yea, Start should be disabled or something.

 

[JacksUsername]

Pokemon healed and game saved. Time to journey on!

 

[ElFly]

A poke has to learn cut first!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

They bought pokeballs and caught it.

yeah that happened

 

[PBalfredo]

I'm so glad I was there to see them beat Misty.

 

[Pureauthor]

Yea, Start should be disabled or something.

We need the menu to teach HMs, if nothing else.

Gen 1 was such a steaming pile.

 

[Ferrio]

So twitch scrolls by fast... it can't be processing all the inputs or there'd be a huge queue of inputs wouldn't there?

 

[Newline]

This. B pressers are the anti-trolls. The trolls are pressing start/select. The only time B presses are useful is in counteracting those.

So how is it worked out, does it tally up all the inputs every few milliseconds or something or is it just first input every time?

 

[SteveWinwood]

I think these guys are slowly proving evolution.

 

[Mit-]

A poke has to learn cut first!

Exactly. Then they have to line up and face a bush, hit start, go to PKMN, select the right Pokemon, use Cut, and proceed.

Also the bush reappears if you wander away and come back.

And if you can toss HMs, game over.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Oh god I just realized we have to go through Rock Tunnel next

We're probably not even gonna bother with Flash. And knowing this crowd, once we're in there we're never gonna get back out. RIP

 

[adixon]

On the one hand it would have been pretty amazing to see Jay Leno rip that smug starfish to shreds, on the other hand ABBBBBBK ( really got some satisfying vengeance on his bane/nemesis there.

 

[Diman]

I just can't stop laughing when watching this stream

 

[KojiKnight]

Yea, Start should be disabled or something.

You have to use pokemon abilities (cut, surf, etc) to beat the game. Thus you need to be able to press start.

 

[HK-47]

Yea, Start should be disabled or something.

Then how will they use things like HMs or the Poke Flute?

 

[ElFly]

So twitch scrolls by fast... it can't be processing all the inputs or there'd be a huge queue of inputs wouldn't there?

A ton of inputs get ignored. I think that if you do anything midwalk it will be ignored (the walk is discrete, square per square).

 

[Randdalf]

This makes me wonder if you could hook up a reinforcement learning algorithm, using some sort of temporal difference learning, to complete Pokemon.

 

[Pureauthor]

And if you can toss HMs, game over.

There are savestates if worst comes to worst.

Slightly unrelated but reminded me of this:

Right, I wasn't thinking when I posted that lol. Those Start spammers are just annoying as hell. There always has to be people ruining the fun.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Gen 1 was such a steaming pile.

The item bag was just pure garbage. Only 50 items and everything is mixed in.

There is a program where a computer can learn to play simpler NES games, as long as there is a clear progress indicator (normally score, lives and or position, for games about going to the right). It's super slow, tho.

Pokemon would be far too complex for this. Maybe if you went with experience of a main poke.

 

[Toma]

Oh, look. Visiting Misty again. Well, I did start to miss her already.

Right, I wasn't thinking when I posted that lol. Those Start spammers are just annoying as hell. There always has to be people ruining the fun.

Start Spammers are comparably harmless though.
