Just imagine if this was Japanese green. The game would be broken by now, or select would be pressed a lot more to break it (you can switch Pokemon using select, IIRC doing this in battle and then using items causes strange things to happen).

How is this legal? Someone making a stream using an emulator and rom and the person and twitch are cashing in.

Won't Nintendo notice this eventually and shut this down?

How is it illegal exactly? Tonnes of people stream emulated games. This is not distributing the rom and only one copy is being played.

 

[Grizzo]

The start spamming is just awful right now.

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

I'm amazed this is still going. It looks like a huge mess lol

 

[Toxi]

Haha watching all the grass pokemon die against Bellsprout while trying to poison it is hilarious.

Gen 1 AI at its finest. When the Blue stream reaches the Elite 4, expect an easy win against Lance's Dragonite.

 

[Stabby McSter]

Does anyone have the video of Abby defeating Lt. Surges' Raichu with only 5 hp left? that video had me feeling nostalgic.

lul, nostalgic is a great term

didn't that only happen 4 days ago?

I've been theorising - and I stress it's just a theory, and I'm no lawyer - that the action of adding in multiple players fighting over the controller legitimises it enough to be regarded as a transformative work and therefore falls under a fair use defense.

From Nintendo's POV: It's advertising. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a small (very small!) uptick in Pokemon sales. And because it's Gen 1 Red, it's not really affecting their ability to sell current and relevant products.

If they were to release Gen 1 on VC (which I suspect they wouldn't for persistence reasons), I daresay it'd get some sales just from people who want to experience the game without the other 49,999 getting in the way

 

[SeZMehK]

This is so funny to watch. The music is so nostalgic though. :>

 

[Drkirby]

Seriously, I'm surprised we haven't ran into a game breaking bug (or a simple glitch/bug at all) yet with all these open/close start, move like a drunk, use items where you're not supposed to.

Pokemon r/b is version 2.0, most of the performance bugs were ironed out.

 

[TechOne]

I go to sleep and wake up to Abby and Jay Leno being released. WTF?!

 

[SuperSah]

The crazy thing is that it created an entire community, with its own words, codes, factions and all.

It's incredible stuff.

Is Bird Jesus still alive? If it's dead, we're doomed.

THE SPEAR OF DESTINY

Nostalgic about the time he played through the game himself 15 some odd years ago, maybe?

 

[Majine]

It's incredible stuff.

Wonder if he's getting death threats now.

 

[Grizzo]

I think we're gonna spend at least 2 more hours in this maze.

 

[Anteo]

Would you like to release Abby, from your heart?

 

[silver.tongue]

Is Bird Jesus still alive? If it's dead, we're doomed.

He is fine, but they almost released him a couple of times now.

 

[Tecl0n]

Oh god the navigational nightmare returns.

 

[KevinRo]

The start spamming is just awful right now.

In a way it actually helps with the delay.

 

[billeh]

Release me into the wild if old, but...

Twitch plays Pokémon IRL

I love how this is a related video.

 

[TronLight]

Most of the game-breaking bugs happen when saving and loading.

And we're saving like crazy. :lol

The game crashed at one point after we beat Surge. Or we might have accidentally reset it; I forgot which one.

They inputted the soft-reset code.

Pokemon r/b is version 2.0, most of the performance bugs were ironed out.

I'm surprised nonetheless.

 

[mclem]

Rndmltrs. I'll be very surprised if that doesn't represent "Random letters", and is a bot which... well, you know.

 

[Vico]

It's incredible stuff.

I wish I could have seen it live.
Chat must've been crazy.

 

[Grizzo]

Yeah but it's soooo frustrating to watch, haha. It's like playing an awfully corrupted copy of the game.

 

[The Bankslammer]

I love how this is a related video.

holy shit ahahaha

 

[silver.tongue]

I'm not watching because I'm at work.

Ehere are they now? What are they doing?

 

[watervengeance]

Imagine if in the end Helix Fossil is never retrieved, Pidgeot is released, and Kabuto is obtained.

THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE

One day, we'll find the Dome Fossil. Then we'll have a new god.

I should've have clarified, the RIP Abby video had me feeling nostalgic and I wanted to relive some of Abbys finer moments. and yes, I'm kidding about feeling nostalgic.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

He is fine, but they almost released him a couple of times now.

I can't believe it came that close so many times. If he gets released, the chat would have to figure out a way to raise a new Pokemon fast, or else we'll be stuck for weeks. Imagine if all of the team gets released on Cinnabar Island.

 

[Rapstah]

And we're saving like crazy. :lol

I should've been more clear: most of them happen while loading. The game does some pretty stupid assumptions about the game state when you load so it doesn't have to save too much data.

 

[SuperSah]

They're gonna be stuck here for hours, aren't they?

 

[Tecl0n]

I'm not watching because I'm at work.

Rocket HQ, maze.

Not a video, but here are the final moments.

I can't. ;_;

Wait why do we have an escape rope

ohgod

They need to level up that Drowzee. Priority n°1.

Is there a catchable Fly/Surf pokemon in the Mansion, or a fishing rod on the island some place? Seems like a very real possibility of getting entirely stuck in this game, since they let you release HM slaves.

There you go:

I dare you to not laugh.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

What is the blue stream?

 

[Toxi]

Drowzee and Flareon. Ember gives us another anti-Ghost move.

(We should also grab the Psychic TM in Saffron before going to Pokemon Tower; if we're lucky enough to use it instead of tossing it, we can teach Drowzee a much stronger anti-Ghost move and hopefully replace one of its non-Confusion moves)

Maybe Oddish, but its movepool ain't that great and its typing isn't that great either.

We will miss ya buddy. Enjoy your release from the chaos

 

[Grizzo]

60,153 viewers. Is that a new peak or what?

 

[TimeEffect]

...Did Ratata really get named Jay Leno?

Also, is it whoever submits the button command quickest? Thought the system worked democratically somehow.

 

[Codeblue]

I love how this is a related video.

Crazy that this is what endears me to Jay Leno.

Based Pidgeot still based.
