Just wanted to say this is one of the greatest things in the history of the internet, and I have never even touched a pokemon game. Can't get enough of following the whole event and the stories that surface. :lol

So what exactly is going on here now? I see they have 4 badges and there's some democracy vs. anarchy thing going on. What are they supposed to be doing right right now?

Also what happened to Charmeleon?

I dont wanna sound like a little bitch, but ever since they implemented the democracy system.. I no longer care.

:(

Oh well.. it was fun while it lasted.

The false dichotomy put forth by the anarchists is the saddest thing. Anarchy is the cause of all things, both good and bad, aside from getting through the maze.

Democracy's sole contribution was salvation from hell. It is a tool, a mighty voice of the many, to lead us forward in a time of dire need.

I don't understand, what differences has it made? This is whatever the person who is streaming intends it to be, not what we make of it. If anything we should have been expecting the unexpected for the past 6 days. Everything has been unexpected so far.

Is it just me or have they completely lost the ability to progress at all?

For the first ~3 days or so, movement obviously wasn't perfect, but the general "direction" was. However, since arriving in Celdaon, it seems like Red simply walks around aimlessly. I mean, we've been walking around Celadon for the past 30 minutes and haven't even come close to entering the casino.
 
Have they done anything in the past 30 minutes? Aren't they supposed to be battling someone? Why are they outside?

It's now impossible to connect to twitch chat so the swarm is a little lean right now, commands are noisier than ever with a smaller total number of people coaxing Red in the right direction.

Yet the stream is more popular than ever. Good riddance.

The growth is likely natural due to new stories being put out daily at larger and larger news outlets.

Not to mention, I believe the nature of this is many people check it out for a long time, get bored, and as soon as something noteworthy occurs (such as the current anarchy/democracy debate, or, previously, some major was accomplished [hint: accomplishments are no longer noteworthy with democracy]) everyone jumps back in all at the same time to check it out, further increasing viewers.


Anyways, this is boring now. There are no more major accomplishments. Every time we hit an obstacle, democracy will overcome it. 90% of people are also wasting inputs on voting for one system over the other constantly.

There's really no point to having anarchy available with democracy an option.

I have a feeling that when the stream creator wakes up, something will be changed once more. Not sure what, but I doubt things will be left the way they are now.

After the 4th badge is where the game opens up and people have multiple objectives in mind. Also there are some mazes and puzzles that were basically impossible in anarchy mode.

I've arrived here as well. I feel like with all the meddling all the novelty of this has been removed. I didn't think the point was to try to finish but see if it was possible.

Progress basically halted. If it was back in the old method we would of taken the elevator and got to Giovanni by now.

Did anything happen to Flareon, the last hope, while I was asleep?

LORD HELIX sent us Saint Drowzee to seal him until the prophecy could be fulfilled. That sacrifice allowed the brave warrior to vanquish darkness forevermore, and Saint Drowzee returned to the fold, blessed eternal.

I was going to ask how the battle with Giovanni went. Then I noticed we were outside.

I keep forgetting how slow this all is.

What's the story behind Drowzee?

At one point during the run, both Drowzee and Flareon were deposited in the box while trying to rescue the Helix Fossil. This earned Drowzee the nickname "The Keeper", as he kept Flareon sealed away within Bill's PC.

When the time came, Red returned and banished Flareon while saving Drowzee from the same feat. Later on, all of the Key Items were rescued from the PC as well.

With an open slot now available for Lapras and all items returned, the Age of Flareon came to an end.

I love the meta-narrative.

We'd still be in the maze.

And if we had democracy from the start we'd have already beaten the game without much fanfare surrounding this entire concept, and zero memes/major events such as Helix Fossil and the releasing of pokemon/tossing of items.
