Looks like we're gonna be in this tower for a while lol.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Haha that makes sense, I don't get the wartortle one, can someone explain?

It is said to live 10,000 years. Its furry tail is popular as a symbol of longevity.

As close as I got, that one makes the least amount of sense.

 

[IHaveIce]

Relevant explanation of why Pokedex entries are what they are.

AHAHAHAHAHAH

This is amazing

 

[KojiKnight]

The google doc hasn't been updated yet this morning... so besides Pidgeot becoming properly baptized (did it really take this long?) And Drowzee losing psychic, anything major happen?

boxed Zubat and pulled out Rick Gastley.

Other than that, just making slow progress clearing out tower trainers.

 

[Wallach]

boxed Digrat and pulled out Rick Gastley.

Sadly, we still have DigRat among our ranks. We boxed the Zubat.

 

[RionaaM]

rofl pidgeot is now aaabaaajss

AAA Based Jesus?

 

[Frodo]

Let's just lick everything.

right, that.

Actually, Dig can kill these things, so it's for the best.

AAA Based Jesus?

This checks out.

 

[RionaaM]

I wonder how the streamer feels when this stuff happens, since he doesn't have the delay and thus "can look into the future".

It must be either soul crushing or hilarious. Or both.

I still have some questions about it. Is the stream showing what happened 20 seconds ago in the game? Or is it in real time, but our commands will only get processed 20 seconds in the future? It's the former, right?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Wooo gonna start up a game of Emerald since watching these Poke runs have really got me in the mood

Okay this is cracking me up

 

[_hekk05]

Ab, or aba, or abba, means father in semitic.

Abba jesus = Father Jesus.

What we see on the stream is between 20-40 seconds behind. I can confirm this as a streamer myself.

 

[FlynnCL]

Wait, when did Pidgeot get his name changed?

 

[Leezard]

rofl pidgeot is now aaabaaajss

Bajs means poop in Swedish. Perfect name!

 

[Axass]

Let me get this straight, they switched Dashbat for Gastly... without releasing anyone in the process????!

A miracle, praise the Helix!

 

[everyday math]

AAA Based Jesus?

Holy shit!

Nintendo would make a killing if they released Red/Blue on the VC right now.

 

[silver.tongue]

AAA Based Jesus. So Awesome.

 

[Axass]

I think I haven't seen the stream enter democracy since yesterday. Weird, two days ago it was a constant back and forth.

 

[g23]

Really wish there was a pokemon game made for tablets/ipad

 

[Ray Wonder]

AAA Based Jesus?

I vote this

 

[darksagus]

Did the democracy line get moved to the right, it looks further over than it did yesterday.

 

[KojiKnight]

Do what all the cool kids do, use an emulator.

(edit) Or if you somehow don't have a 3DS yet, get one of those and X/Y!

 

[BatDan]

Here's a similar comic that explains the weirdness of the Pokedex.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Can someone summarize the last 24 hours?

 

[RionaaM]

I've barely even looked at the rest of GAF for the past five days... Damn.

Same here. Haven't even played anything but this. And you know what? I don't regret a single thing, and will probably keep doing it until this is over.

What we see on the stream is between 20-40 seconds behind. I can confirm this as a streamer myself.

Thanks a lot! I really wanted to know this but was ashamed to ask, lol

 

[KojiKnight]

Can someone summarize the last 24 hours?

Bird Jesus renamed, Ghastly caught and put in party (switched out for the zubat we caught earlier). Drowzee was taught psychic via a TM, we managed to overwrite it with another move when it leveled. Still going through the pokemon tower.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Here's a similar comic that explains the weirdness of the Pokedex.

When I saw Wailord, I thought it was going to be about how Wailord and Skitty can breed.

Also reminded me of this:

 

[Toxi]

Here's a similar comic that explains the weirdness of the Pokedex.

Birch doesn't know what he's talking about, Wailord is lighter than styrofoam.

In fact, it's lighter than air.

 

[Hyperactivity]

What all has happened since I left 9 hours ago

 

[papercamm]

I see the anointed bird has been given a confirmation name.

 

[kubus]

Last run was so efficiently coordinated, we were at the helipad in just a couple of minutes

This run was a wreck, and now we're doomed because we started a friggin trainer battle before healing.

Whyyyy

 

[Zevenberge]

Birch doesn't know what he's talking about, Wailord is lighter than styrofoam.

Wailord to be retyped to water/flying.
On another note: What assumptions did you make for its volume? I'd take an ellipsoidal cylinder, which the length being the length of Wailord, and the small and large radii being 1/5th and 1/4th of the length, respectively.

 

[DaBoss]

Summary since based Keeper took out 2 trainers and 2 wild Polemon yesterday?

 

[g23]

This is our punishment for having no pokemon with elemental moves....we had a frighin flareon and charmander! And you guys put all ur faith in that effin generic bird!

[bluelightningduo]

We really need to grind Rick Gastly and The Keeper for a couple hours. Probably not going to happen though.

Even if you assumed it was spherical it'd have a density of .25 KG/M^3

Air is about 1.2KG/M^3 at STP. Helium is about .178 so it isn't quite that light but still.

I have too much spare time...

 

[Frodo]

Are we waiting to die again?

Edit: oops! back at the poke center.

 

[soxinthebox]

To be fair when I first played Pokemon Red as a kid Pidgeot was my jam by choice.

 

[KojiKnight]

Flareon was the false prophet... he had tackle and sand attack. He was useless and evil. Abby, while her heart was in the right place also had no elemental attacks. We'd be in the same situation regardless if we still had them or not.

 

[Frodo]

We should definitely do some grinding before heading for the tower again.

 

[DaBoss]

Gonna ask again, a summary of what has happened so far since Drowzee beat two trainers and two wild Pokemon in the tower last night?

We should definitely do some grinding before heading for the tower again.

We should grind AT the Tower.

 

[Darryl]

this could've been flareons chance for redemption. he could finally make up for having no moves. instead these sheeple wouldn't give him a chance

There was one a few posts up.

[Mistel]

In fact, it's lighter than air.

Then they would have huge wailord's floating around like helium balloons, you would need to tie them to something for their own good. Now I want a wailord and maybe a sharpedo...

 

[-Horizon-]

Old video (2 days is pretty old lol) of old events from the stream sure but darn it, it made me hyped as heck to rewatch every thing that has happened.

I think it's been posted before but I wanted to post it again.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=SQGRJMrekjE
Hope a part 2 gets made.

 

[DaBoss]

Thanks.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Psychic was forgotten.

We're gonna need to learn that again at level 32 as Drowzee or level 37 as Hypno.

 

[Heropon]

Brock cursed us many aeons ago when his Onyx was killed by Abby's Ember, then he gave us the MT that would start a series of misfortunes:

• Ember was replaced by Bide.
• Pidgeot didn't learn Wing Attack.
• Jay Leno learned Bubblebeam but he was banished by the PC of doom.
• Digrat's Thuderbolt was replaced by Swift.
• And Drowzee's Psychic was replaced by Headbutt.

May the Helix rid us of that curse.
