Saving has no effect on anything. In Pokemon, you just go backwards a ways and lose some money when you wipe. Trainers stay beaten and so on. But even if we were losing progress, there's no way for us to load saves anyway.
You say that like the community can decide to save/load at will.

Too bad the streamer doesn't reset and load from our last save, although I guess now that they've shown they can do it once they can do it again, lol..

Why on earth did he stop throttling the start button?

Honestly I would say that's a good thing. Teleport is terrible.
If this was Gen 2+ this would actually be a big deal. TM 30 is Shadow Ball from then.
They still have it.

Yeah, only bad could have come from that. I could have seen it getting put on something and then teleporting out of the caves to the start repeatedly somehow.

Oh, I forgot that they couldn't reload a save. I didn't know that they wouldn't be teleported back to the Pokecenter by the cave.

This is the new e-sport. Forget about LoL, Dota 2 or whatever other wannabe e-sports.

Dear oak, Its been 3 days since i started this journey. And you know what *** becoming a pokemon master. I am going to be ledge jumping master. I been training 8 hour a day. send my love to mom. signed Red Ledge jumper.
A genius.
7.5/10, 2.5 off for omitting the Based God
If I were designing it, after having watched this, I'd work on a frame-length timestep (presumably 17ms). I'd go on a three-frame cycle.
Frame 1: Accumulate inputs
Frame 2: Average inputs. Each up counters a down. Each left counters a right. The direction with the most keypresses wins out, or A/B if either has more presses than a direction.
Frame 3: For the duration of this frame, send those inputs to the emulator.
Frame 4: Begin accumulating inputs again.
I'd have three such processes operating independently of one another, so each frame is covered (When one process is accumulating inputs, a second is calculating the outcome of the previous set and the third is outputting the results from two sets ago)
I think that might be fairly effective. I'm slightly banking on the idea that each frame can determine a result in the milliseconds available, which would ordinarily be easy but could in theory be overwhelmed by Twitch spam.
(Speaking of the Twitch spam, I wonder if the convertor is smart enough to quick-reject certain entries rather than parse them *entirely* even if they're just general chat)

If you're talking about Pidgeotto, it's in there just behind Charmeleon (as a Pidgey oddly enough). If you're talking about the Helix Fossil and the S.S Ticket then I agree with you.

aw, without the start throttle it's kinda annoying to watch =\
