I'm hoping for a Gold/Silver Twitch Plays sometime down the line.
Whitney'll be a riot.

Better still: Link it to this one. Co-ordinate *two* twitch chats to trade Pokemon!

 

[Merino]

I just looked at it. It was funny for a few seconds, but then I realised that it's 1000 people spamming commands and it's never going to get anywhere. Surely it was better when there were less people involved, but it's going to have to calm down before anything happens.

Watching Red stand before a tree constantly trying to use a Helix fossil and a ticket, it made me wonder how many decades this would take to finish.

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Hey did we make sure to heal in cerulean city? Otherwise we'll be thrown all the way back to vermilion if we wipe.

 

[Talamius]

They forgot to save before they started the trainer fight :|

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Is there even a way to get to Saffron without getting the guards in the buildings water? I don't remember another way.

 

[everyday math]

Don't die

 

[bluelightningduo]

I think the biggest priority should be getting rid of all the attacks that don't do damage.

 

[RedShift]

Will Rock Tunnel really be possible without flash?

I actually can't imagine making it work either way. It'll take hours to get 10 pokemon, get flash HM and then hours more to activate flash (and probably have some monkey press down to walk out of the cave and having to start all over).

But who knows how long it will take to get through rock tunnel in the dark with random inputs...hours?...days?...weeks?...months??

As a kid I didn't know about flash. I made it through just by randomly walking in various directions, which is pretty much what chat does anyway.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

That and getting rid of all items would speed everything up, but that's not happening.

Dark cave is annoying without flash, but you can see the edges of the walls clearly, so it's doable. I did it within 30 minutes when I was a kid without Flash, but I ran from random battles and they wont

You crazy? Sand Attack is the best move they have.

The more people the better. It's not about progressing, it's about having fun with people in (decidedly not machine random) utter madness. The chat is the best thing about this.

 

[Garjon]

Damn, I forgot how annoying Wrap was back in this gen

The only item they could possibly get rid of is the TM.

 

[bluelightningduo]

Do we still have the full restore?

 

[Mistel]

Right, getting to the gym also needs cut. The most infuriating thing is surfing and landing on the wrong shore, or even worse, on the same shore they left.

We'll be going around in circles for a while, it will be ledges 2.0.

 

[BatDan]

Damn, I forgot how annoying Wrap was back in this gen

"Wraphax" is one of the many things I'm glad is gone in future games.

 

[everyday math]

This overpowered Bellsprout

 

[CyclopsRock]

Ahahaha I didn't realise it was bide that killed Ember. That's awful - but would Ember have killed Raichu? Unlikely!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

You can dump anything in the pc, but I don't think that thing will ever be used.

 

[Mysterious Stranger]

This is too frustrating too watch or play with all these people.

I don't understand how that was possible outside of luck.

I think I'm just far too impatient to watch it. I'm infuriated by the constant attempted use of items, seeing as doing something that results in a multi-line message from Oak annoys me when I do it once by accident myself. 10 times in a row makes me suicidal.

People seem to enjoy the clusterfuck of inputs, but I think it would be improved if there was something like every 10 requests for an input resulting in an actual button press.

 

[Gardex]

The amount of hax occuring during this match is unreal


THAT POISONPOWDER WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Garjon]

Goddamn cheating AI, using Poisonpowder on the same turn as we used up the Full Restore

 

[qq more]

man i am really wondering if its possible to get past the safari zone with those 500 steps limit lol

Sure some luck but most participants are really trying to get along in the game for real.
Only a small % are trolls / bots.

Nah what makes the stream fun is seeing them fail 100 times and then finally pulling it together and actually getting the job done. It makes the simplest tasks such as simply walking through a door feel like an immense victory.

Would you actually want to watch that either, though? That'd just be the inverse of a speed-run, with a bunch of people that know how to play the game, playing the game very slowly. This is amazing precisely because, in spite of the incredibly laggy inputs from thousands of people, the weight of averages has managed to get them 3 gym badges in a few days.

 

[Amppelix]

we got cut, taught it to Dux, and used it to enter the Gym. All in the span of 6 hours. Things happen, but they happen slowly.

3 Gym leaders down, several trees cut (not to mention somehow teaching a pokemon cut to begin with!) I think you aren't giving 15k people enough credit.

Prof Oak 19:24:

Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a Pokemon trainer with fifteen-thousand conflicting voices in his head to CUT down a tree.

Bill 3:16:

For Arceus so loved the world that he tossed his one and only Moonstone, that whoever believes in it shall not perish but become a master.

Surge 18:9:

One night the old Oak spoke to Red in a vision: “This isn't the time to use that!"

 

[Gruco]

I really did not expect to wake up to a defeated Surge. Way to go twitch.

 

[Garjon]

Oh god not Teleport NO!

 

[RedShift]

What did they change with the start inputs? They're greyed out?

 

[Tourmeta]

What did they change with the start inputs? They're greyed out?

Start button throttle

Spammers pushed this button too much and now it doesn't work all the time. Sometimes it pops back in and works perfectly for awhile.
I dislike this compromise but unsuppressed start spam was annoying and didn't really have any effect on travel gameplay (no position changes).

There's some info under stream now.

How does the Rattata know Bubble Beam?

That's practically what it is. The more a button is requested, the higher the chance for it to be chosen (since the game only listens to input when it's free to do so). I don't see any difference between 3 thousand and 15 thousand people. Really anything above 100.

 

[Mistel]

How does the Rattata know Bubble Beam?

Via the wacky g1 tm's, some strange combinations are common like teleport on an electabuzz.

 

[KojiKnight]

How does the Rattata know Bubble Beam?

Generation 1 is how. And a TM. They became a lot stricter on Normal types learning other type moves in later gens.

 

[trixx]

yes they disabled the start button!

nvm -_-

 

[Ivan 3414]

They don't have Flash. They need to go back to Diglett's cave to get it. We're screwed.

 

[Merino]

They don't have Flash. They need to go back to Diglett's cave to get it. We're screwed.

They decided to do it without flash and go in on faith alone.

 

[bluelightningduo]

They don't have Flash. They need to go back to Diglett's cave to get it. We're screwed.

We're gonna be screwed if they run into another trainer. All these trolls typing down right now are killing me.

 

[Mistel]

They don't have Flash. They need to go back to Diglett's cave to get it. We're screwed.

Not really if we're lucky we could get a dugtrio or a diglet for the team.

 

[Leezard]

They don't have Flash. They need to go back to Diglett's cave to get it. We're screwed.

You don't even need Flash to get through the cave. It helps, though.

 

[pulga]

oh god they actually moved in on the trainer

 

[trixx]

based pidgeotto go for gust sweep

 

[Blearth]

Holy shit this is amazing.

I love the internet.

 

[Finalow]

the day that we're going to use the helix fossil and get a pokemon from it is drawing near.
IT'S GONNA HAPPEN, IT HAS TO.

It can learn Blizzard and Thunder Wave in the most recent generation; they haven't really gotten more strict about it lol.
