Eruption February 19th, 2014 4:04 AM

Sounds like we made some progress, now to enjoy a day of lavender town music.

And with the amount of people who have no idea where they have to go, I reckon those few people who've told about it may not be the only ones :p

I think most people in the stream are current or old fans though, so doubt it'd have the huge impact. Could be cool though ;p

That's interesting actually because the person who first showed me this isn't a fan of pokemon. He keeps coming back to watch though, I guess I'll soon see if it indocrinates him.

Treecko February 19th, 2014 4:35 AM

*Actually on the stream* I just saw them try to take a Gastly down with Dig Rat.....obviously that didn't go well. Now they're trying Pidgeot who I learned is at level 47. o.o Holy crap, it's over leveled compared to the rest of the team.

Edit: They lost again and now are back in the Pokemon Center. They serious need more grinding, but I'm sure they won't listen.

Ivysaur February 19th, 2014 4:51 AM

Agatha will be SO FUN to fight guys.

Why look that far ahead, when we can't even beat a level 23 Gastly with a level 47 Pidgeot. You're right though. We'll need to get Drowsee to level up to at least 50 levels by then beat her faster. Let's see if we can even evolve it into Hypno though.

Aether★ February 19th, 2014 6:15 AM

Oh wow, another break, another cooperative riot. Oh people, you so crazy.

TCB February 19th, 2014 6:38 AM

Stream's borking up again; that only means one thing...

Well the problem is that the Pidgeot can be level 1727364 for all we care, he only knows normal attacks that won't hurt ghosts. Of course, if we get Keeper into level 32, he'll learn psychic and annihilate all ghosts since they all are poison too in Gen I.

If we don't make him use whirlwind, of course.

Sydian February 19th, 2014 7:30 AM

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. All hail me.

Looks like there's nothing going on this morning though, so I'm sad. :( I'll have to keep checking this thread when I can to keep up with the fun I suppose. Or Twitter. Anyone else following the updates there?

Aether★ February 19th, 2014 7:39 AM

Apparently we have a Zubat named DASHBAT and they named the DIG RAT.

Urugamosu February 19th, 2014 7:53 AM

We're just fumbling around Lavender at this point.

HOLY -

THE HELIX FOSSIL IS IN THIS THREAD. ALL PRAISE HELIX. *BOWS DOWN*


I'm surprised they managed to name a Zubat DASHBAT, but named our Charmander ABBBBBBK ( and Ratatta JLVWNNOOOO. IDK how much longer can I take us being stuck in Lavender Town. That music is just. >_>

Aquacorde February 19th, 2014 11:24 AM

So I woke up to new teammates and new nicknames! Two Zubat, Jess/Dashbat and X. Digrat is now AJ/Apollo Justice. Seed of Hope has been renamed Cabbage. And we're desperately trying to do anythibg in the tower. This is wonderful.

Did they still not get through Pokemon Tower? Why are they in Saffron? What's the current objective? ._.

Aquacorde February 19th, 2014 12:51 PM

Current goal: Get Psychic for the Keeper and level up the Keeper and AJ so we can get through the tower. Apparently. I'm just rattling off what @twitchPKupdates is saying. Seems like a legit plan.

also we just got Psychic. Now to teach it...

Sheep February 19th, 2014 12:54 PM

This has to be the craziest yet most hilarious thing I've seen in years. Never has Giovanni's "I'm surprised you made it here!" been so accurate.

Treecko February 19th, 2014 1:12 PM

Okay I'm out of touch on the Pokemon in our team. I know there's a Pidgeot and a Rattata and a Drowsee and I think a Farfetch'd named DUX . But what else? Like what our their names and such? I know we had Abby and Jay Leno too. But I'm so out of touch with their names and such. Help anyone? I'm confused on what some of the names Anna is using to be honest. XD

Well this clears things up more. Those honest make sense. It took me a while to get why a Zubat was being Jaden Smith until I saw it's nickname. XD Then he always has his mouth open/has a worried look.

I'm sure there's people making "How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real" joke all the time. I can wonder if there's a picture of that yet. XD

Oooh, I was wondering about the new names. Hadn't payed attention to the stream all day, so I imagined they were all just new Pokemon, but I guess I should've imagined this would happen when we're in the town with the name rater :p I dislike the renaming of Digrat though, it shouldn't go by anything else :(

Soo, are we trying out Nuzlocke once we're done? ;D

Sydian February 19th, 2014 2:03 PM

Digrat is always digrat despite the rename. You just don't do that. I have spoken.

Aquacorde February 19th, 2014 2:21 PM

Some people call the Keeper "The Apostle" as well but I really don't see that as much. Also we haven't yet managed to teach him Psychic, but we're doing a bit of grinding. Kinda. Basically just trying to take things out with our 'mon that don't faint.

edit: 6k posts!

edit2: We have just obtained a Hitmonlee named CCC! Majority says we're calling him C3KO. I have no objection to that hahaha.

EDIT3: WE FAILED AT RETRIEVING C3KO FROM THE PC
INSTEAD WE RELEASED HIM
AND DEPOSITED ALMOST ALL OUT ITEMS INCLUDING LORD HELIX AND THE SCOPE
and now we stored Cabbage.
AND RELEASED X-WING
RIP YOU POOR GUYS

Cabbage is back.
SS Ticket, Lift Key, Lord Helix, Cut, and Silph Scope are back.

RIP X-Wing and C3KO. We hardly knew ye.

Ivysaur February 19th, 2014 4:19 PM

Well the Zubat thing who cares. We have a tendency of catching Com Mons in pairs and then releasing one. And we know how very well the Free Pokémon worked with Eevee...

Aquacorde February 19th, 2014 4:25 PM

But its name was X-Wing! That was cool! And C3KO could have helped us ;; It was higher-leveled than anyone but Bird Jesus.

Also wow we released both our Star Wars mons at the same time. Of course.

EDIT: WE MANAGED TO TEACH PSYCHIC TO THE KEEPER. PRAISE BE TO HELIX

Edit2: what the heck we caught a Gastly. We're supposed to be EXP farming them not catching them! Anyway he's been named Rick Gastly. Approved.

13 hours later.... Still True.

Did they ever clear the Rocket Conveyer Belt and Defeat Giovani??? How long were they there, seemed like more than 24 hours!

MegaTyphlosion February 19th, 2014 8:07 PM

Yeah they beat Giovanni, on the second attempt. I saw the first attempt where Bird Jesus got Giovanni's Kangaskhan down to near death, then they just spammed whirlwind until they lost. Eventually they beat him and got the Silph Scope. They spent well over 24 hours in the maze but they did beat it. Now I think they're trying to grind Drowzee as they need it to beat the ghosts in Lavender Tower.

Aquacorde February 19th, 2014 8:10 PM

We were dealing with Rocket HQ for about 40 hours lol. But, it's okay! Despite having been wandering around Lavender and Saffron for the better part of the day, we obtained three new Pokémon, released two of them, beat a bunch of trainers, got Psychic and taught it to the Keeper, and actually made progress. Our main problem right now is that we don't have Ghost-combatants an we're kind of hopeless at actual training.

Sydian February 19th, 2014 8:18 PM

The fact that I come home to find we released a freaking HITMONLEE is horrendous. Nobody consulted me about this awful decision.

MegaTyphlosion February 19th, 2014 8:18 PM

Yeah I've noticed Night Shade hitting Dux. What's going on there? Some wierd gen 1 mechanic? Night shade is a ghost move right? I also can't believe how short they had CCC for. 38 minutes between beating the dojo and realeasing him. Wow. Not that he would have helped here, but still.

EDIT: I've just noticed Oddish's name, x(araggbaj. if you look at the ( as if it was a c it does look a lot like x cabbage which is amazingly apt name under the conditions they had to enter it under.

Aquacorde February 19th, 2014 8:20 PM

RIP C3KO & X-Wing. :(

People have been saying that since it's Pokémon Red 151, it should be possible to go back and pick up Hitmonchan. Which could be useful given its level. Have we done that? Nope.

Quoting Bulba cause I was wondering about Night Shade as well.
Quote:

Generation I
Night Shade inflicts damage equal to the user's level. Although Night Shade deals Ghost-type damage, its type does not alter the amount of damage it inflicts. Night Shade hits both Normal-type Pokémon and Psychic-type Pokémon, both of which have immunities to Ghost-type moves during Generation I.

Treecko February 19th, 2014 9:14 PM

Awww poor C3KO and X-Wing. We had you for like 10 minutes and now you're gone for good. :/ Helix will take care of you now though. I know for a fact they're a caring and loving god. :) I'm guessing we still between Saffron and Lavender Town right?

Aquacorde February 19th, 2014 9:21 PM

We're in Lavender Town. We lost in the tower a few times and got chucked back to Saffron but we finally healed in Lavender so we're just hanging out in the tower now. It usually ends up at a point where we have to wait for a trainer's lv20-something Gastly to take out Bird Jesus so we can go heal and try again.

Treecko February 19th, 2014 9:28 PM

Oh boy. Knowing that Bird Jesus mostly knows moves not effective against Ghost types, we'll be in Pokemon Tower for a while unless we train The Keeper a bit. Hopefully not as long as Rocket's HQ.

Aquacorde February 19th, 2014 10:01 PM

Nah, we should be good. The Keeper have been doing well and is starting to get into the levels where they can take things down as efficiently as we can command them. Helps that we have a 50% chance of using an effective move. AJ, Cabbage, and Jess are all doing okay as well when they get sent out. Hopefully this means we're getting better at grinding.

SnowpointQuincy February 19th, 2014 10:04 PM

There should be an alternate channel with entirely random button inputs to compare results :15:

Treecko February 19th, 2014 10:18 PM

That's great hearing, I'm hoping we get lucky can possibly land a few critical hits, maybe we can pass the Tower soon. They all need more grinding cause Bird Jesus is like 20 levels ahead of them last I saw.

Aquacorde February 19th, 2014 10:33 PM

Pretty sure Bird Jesus will be a fair amount higher for a loooong time.

@Snowpoint - There's something like that in Twitch Plays Pokémon Plays Tetris! It's taking the commands going into TPP and using them to play Tetris and seeing what happens.

Homura Akemi February 19th, 2014 10:36 PM

It's a neat concept...but it's more of a jumbled mess than a proper gameplay. The memes are quite funny though.

While it can be fun, it's nothing but circles to me :c. Also, that Helix Fossil's proven its worth. Must purchase.

Aquacorde February 19th, 2014 10:39 PM

But that's kind of the point. Proper gameplay would be boring as hell- we collectively decided that when Democracy was implemented. We want to see chaos, we want to see if anarchy makes progress. That's the charm. You gotta have charm in a Let's Play- it's boring if there's nothing unique to it. Most people bring personality and a different perspective to a game when they create one, but this brings this whole new way of playing. It brings the personality of thousands of people united by this one thing. And that's why it's cool.

AND THIS COMIC HOLY HELIX

Treecko February 19th, 2014 10:57 PM

Echoing what Anna said. The jumbled mess is what it's so much fun! You can't really expect that many people (which ranges from 50,000 to 75,000 people most of the time)playing the same game at the same time to be calm and collected and have a straightforward , streamlined playthrough. With so many commands going in at once, the player goes all over and it's hilarious.Democracy (or when input is determined by what command gets the most votes ) makes the game boring and monotonous. Also you should see how crazy people riot when we go into a democracy. Very few people actually like it. It's formed so many good memes/jokes too.

Wobbu February 20th, 2014 12:35 AM

Now that I've heard the Pokémon Tower music enough that I could probably write the whole composition by memory, I can't wait until they get the Flute. I always miss when Pokémon are caught/released. They caught like 2 or 3 Pokémon in the last 24 hours? Does anyone think that TPP should remove the Democracy/Anarchy system now that they got the Adolph Scope? I don't like how the command chat is spammed with democracy and anarchy rather than GB buttons.

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 12:50 AM

Well, I don't know how many difficult puzzles we'll be facing in the future, but I think keeping the system is good. Democracy is more able to do things like get into the PC safely and buy things and make it out doors. I don't actually see much spam of those commands unless the bar is approaching a switch (which is when people try to fight/really push it).

Aether★ February 20th, 2014 12:53 AM

Part of people fight over anarchy and democracy, second part desperately try to accomplish something in game, the last part is trolls that just want to get us nowhere.

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 12:56 AM

Hahahaha AJ used Dig again while we were halfway up the tower. Oh anarchy. xD

In all seriousness though, I don't mind that we're a bit stuck right now. Like, we're not really going anywhere, but at least we have battles and are making actual progress (slowly). It's not nearly as frustrating as being stuck in Rocket HQ.

Wobbu February 20th, 2014 1:04 AM

I'm surprised that with all the comics I've been seeing, none of them showed Red digging out of a building. They show him walking around in random directions and constantly opening the Start menu but none of them show him and Dig Rat going right through the floor lol. If someone finds a comic like that, they should post it :o

Shhmew February 20th, 2014 1:33 AM

Anyone who votes democracy is a Dome worshipper.

It was never Helix's intention for boring old order to take place.

The best plan I've heard so far is to get Fly for Bird Jesus and put The Keeper up front. But of course that's not going to happen. >:3

Wobbu February 20th, 2014 1:37 AM

I like how people coined the term "Domeocracy" lol. This whole thing is getting hilariously out of hand. What's ironic is that even while Anarchy reigns the supreme form of command, people can still vote whether to use Anarchy or Democracy.

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 1:37 AM

We'll be fine as long as we manage to train a bit. We could easily get--

WE JUST DUG AGAIN GODDAMIT AJ

Anyway. We could easily get our less powerful guys up to speed if we stopped running from everything.
Oh, by the way- Jess has a new name. ABB-??AAJ. Fan name... Abby Jr. :')

Gosh, Dig has caused enough problems, I don't even want to think about what will happen once Fly comes about.

We'll just end up flying to places and having a really hard time staying in the city we're actually supposed to be in. xD

Heather February 20th, 2014 4:05 AM

I watched for the first time last night. It was a beautiful sight to behold. We spent most of our time in Saffron City, going through the menu. :D

Random Number Generator Plays Pokémon

Apparently the Keeper forgot psychich to learn Headbutt instead :( Now we need to grind him to level 32 to relearn it.

MegaTyphlosion February 20th, 2014 8:24 AM

Not to mention cancel his evolution 5 times to get to level 32. If we end up with Hypno too early we have to wait to level 37 for Psychic.

As for the fly problem there is a solution to be found in the long term, but I mean VERY long term. We have to pick up the Sky Attack TM which is in Victory Road. It's far more powerful than fly and it's not a field move, therefore giving Bird Jesus a weapon against Agatha's ghosts without potentially becoming Digrat Mk2.

If we do manage to pull this off Bird Jesus should be about level 80 allowing him to pretty much destroy Agatha, who will be our biggest issue based on the evidence of Lavender Town. Of course this is assuming we have enough ethers to keep it's pp up, and assuming we teach it to Pidgeot instead of Dux . Actually nvm, I can't see this going any way but wrong. Yeah we need to level up Drowzee to beat Agatha and the Lavander Tower

Literally, no. Progressively, yes. Bird Jesus is basically the whole team right now but the Keeper is slowly rising through the ranks (assuming it also won't get released). I haven't really been keeping up with the team since yesterday so there could be others.

I imagine if that happens a lot of people will abandon the stream. But, out of necessity Drowzee and Digrat are both actually levelling up. Slowly, but eventually, we won't have to rely entirely on Bird Jesus. Digrat has actually evolved recently and with Dig he can handle the ghosts just as well as the Keeper.

Shhmew February 20th, 2014 11:05 AM

If there wasn't such a massive delay between the command inputs and what's actually happening in the stream, this would be so much better. u.u

If Bird Jesus gets released, I believe that's the equivalent to the apocalypse. Sucks how you can't go near the PC without a huge risk of that happening.

And I think the objective right now is to grind, considering we are near a healing pad, but... a lot of people are shouting in the chat box that grinding is not worth it right now, others are shouting to stop grinding because it's boring .__. But in my opinion grinding might be much needed right now, though it's really hard when Dig Rat is upfront and only one of its moves hits ghosts so we have to just hope it gets selected and we don't run away...

Sheep February 20th, 2014 12:19 PM

That Raticate really is something. Dig your way to the E4!

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 1:39 PM

Well, since I've been asleep we progressed in grinding even though we run away from about 90% of battles! Yay! AJ and the Keeper are pulling their weight now awww look at this! I don't care if people think it's boring, this is progress and helpful and it's great. :D

MegaTyphlosion February 20th, 2014 2:41 PM

I actually decided to contribute for once instead of just watching. We almost made it to the end, the stairs right before the Marowak boss fight, then we Dug out, again. This is the first time I saw it happen and I'm already frustrated with Digrat. As for the argument on grinding I think we should do it outside the lavender tower. That way everyone can get exp, not just Drowzee, who still gets badly damaged by night shade and once he goes down then we have to go back and heal.

Now there's an(other) argument in the Pokemon center. Heal and go up again or box/release digrat.

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 2:46 PM

Currently there's a fight over using the PC and dropping off AJ. But AJ is pretty useful tbh. I say keep him round. And using the PC is dangerous.

As for training outside the tower, that would be sensible. But we want to try and make progress, so we're going to relentlessly head up there and maybe gain exp on the way instead of trying to properly train.

Spinosaurus February 20th, 2014 3:09 PM

EDIT: WE BEAT MAROWAK HECK YEA

Ivysaur February 20th, 2014 5:06 PM

POKéMON GRAPHS! hell yeah.

Snorlax or Lapras? We truly have a tendency for ruining the lives of every pokémon that is handed down to us so I'm starting to worry about our surfing friend.

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 5:09 PM

Whatever happens, we'll have to go into the PC. I am not looking forward to that, especially now that we have four legitimately useful Pokémon with us. :|

Farore February 20th, 2014 5:20 PM

We finally finished the Pokemon Tower and got the Pokeflute! *Victory cheer*

I can now go to bed, I feel like my job is done for the night.

It's funny coz' when we all manage something in Twitch plays Pokemon you feel like you love everybody that's participating in this madness, even the trolls!

It's beautiful. :')

Ivysaur February 20th, 2014 5:26 PM

We have three tries to catch Snorlax. I don't think we'll pull it off.

Shhmew February 20th, 2014 5:47 PM

They ran from Snorlax. ;c Did the trolls really have to keep pressing right? Oh, wait, they're trolls.

At least there is another Snorlax, but I don't have high hopes...

Farore February 20th, 2014 5:49 PM

We just ran away from the first Snorlax, I'm actually impressed that we even managed to toss a great ball once (it missed, I was like "whut?" I didn't remember that part from the First Gen...it's been so long, aha) and we weakened it a bit but he used rest, and then we were out of here.

Oh well. We tried at least!

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 5:49 PM

We're probably just gonna end up with Lapras. What I'm worried about now is that we're still significantly underleveled besides Abba Jesus. :|

Ivysaur February 20th, 2014 5:55 PM

We can always spend some more time grinding. It's not like the enemies are significantly harder until Victory Road either.


Olli February 20th, 2014 6:00 PM

Hngg, I've barely been paying attention to the stream lately, but seems like we've just run around Lavender Town for the past two days :p I see AJ has finally started to redeem himself, and that's great! Poor guy's a coward by nature, and we gave him the means of escaping :( We can just hope we get rid of the move eventually, though the only place where I see it as a threat at this point, is the victory road. We've already covered how terrible the ledge guarding the way up there is gonna be, so if we end up digging our way out after that, it's gonna suck preeeetty much :p

Also WHAT when did we rename Bird Jesus >:O

Farore February 20th, 2014 6:08 PM

Dat gif, lol!

That makes me remember the moment when we just got out of Pokemon Tower, and some people in the chat were wondering what to do now, so we told them to talk to Fuji to get the Pokeflute, and of course Red eventually managed to do it but before that...

"HMM BOOKS... WHY ARE YOU SO PRETTY..." Seriously, he was fixated on Fuji's books for at least 5 minutes!

I couldn't help laughing.

Yesterday too he got stuck by a pretty lady that was telling him about the oh so great power of the Revives in a corner of the Pokemart, people thought we would be stuck forever, it was epic. Poor Red got a stalker or something that day.

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 6:31 PM

Bird Jesus got renamed about 12 hours ago I think haha. It's even better now though because people are calling him "Abba Jesus" (Abba meaning Father, as was used by Jesus to refer to God). I love that they managed to do that.

edit: eeeeee Cabbage evolved! Good job Cabbage!

εcho. February 20th, 2014 7:13 PM

Oh wow, a lot has happened since I last checked in.

I'm pleased to hear we finally made it out of Lavender Town. c:

Ohh, that's actually kinda cool haha. I still prefer Bird Jesus though, 'cause BIRDS!

And yaay, Cabbage! Hopefully they aren't gonna attempt to buy a Leaf Stone, since we know how well it turned out last time they tried to buy a stone D: Would've been so much better if they'd accidentally gotten a Leaf Stone, since it would've prevented the false prophet from seeing its true form!

Aaand we're inching ever so closer to the Safari Zone. Can't wait ;D

Yeah but a Vileplume would be so useful, but then there's the risk of buying the wrong stone. :( Gloom is good too though so yay for Cabbage. I haven't watch the stream all day even if I had no school.:( Excuse me while I go catch up by stalking this thread.

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 8:23 PM

HAHAHA we ended up in the Fuchsia Gym and almost lost to the first dude. And then won. But got poisoned. And got sent all the way back to Lavender. xD

Treecko February 20th, 2014 8:34 PM

Oh boy. I bet navigating the gym is beyond difficult. I'm sure we're just bumping into all those invisible walls. XD I'm watching the stream now. It looks like we went from one end of Route 8 to the other and just went back to Lavender Town. We will never get to the Safari Zone.

Olli February 20th, 2014 8:36 PM

Wait what? Why did they even go into the gym before the PC first lmao. Well, probably because of the chaos that is anarchy, but I don't doubt someone was trying to get into the gym :p Luckily the way to Fuschia isn't too hard, especially considering most of the trainers already have been beaten (I assume?), though I think we should've gone down the cycling road instead. Would've been faster and allowed for some more grinding.

Oh god, I completely forgot about that haha. The biggest problem is when we're gonna leave to heal. It'll probably be easier to just white out then, but we still need the money :(

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 8:39 PM

I don't think we have a bike and nobody's bothering to get one at this point. What we really should be doing is more grinding lol. In grass somewhere with 'mon we can take on. AJ and the Keeper are already losing what they gained in relation to Bird Jesus in Lavender. At least maybe they'll hit up the PokéCenter this time and not have to make the trek again- took us three times to learn that when we were taking on the Tower with out base as Saffron Center. xD;

Sydian February 20th, 2014 8:49 PM

tbh I think I want to stay in the bag and not be resurrected. They'll release me, I know it. The Dome followers will do it. I just know they will.

Treecko February 20th, 2014 8:54 PM

I think the problem people have with grinding (or in this game at least) is that they find it boring. We seriously need it though.

This stream is so huge, that's there's a Wikipedia article on it.

And it's detailed too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon

Also here's a funny art for you guys.

Yeah we might just end up trying to get through so many times and then run out of money trying to get Surf. :( I think we need items to sell for money.


Edit: Omg they spent like 5 minutes trying to get the Itemfinder from Oak's Assistant. I can't anymore with this game.

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 9:01 PM

It's okay dudes they let you in with 1 PokéBall even if you have no money. Still get kicked out of you lose it but eh. And anyway creator said he gonna turn off step counter so we can get Surf.

edit: guys we made the latest XKCD!

audinowho February 20th, 2014 10:03 PM

It'll be amazing if this becomes the reason why everyone's talking about Pokemon in public. Like 1999.

Siigari February 20th, 2014 10:41 PM

The anticipation! We've been pacing around Fuschia City for over an hour with no goal in sight! :D

That would be great since we don't need to be in trying to get Surf for 3 days. We will still be in the Safari Zone for a long time though.

That would be awesome! I'd love it if this makes Pokemon as popular as it was in the late 90s/early 00s. I'm sure there is been people who's watching or playing TPP who haven't played a Pokemon game in ages or they haven't played a Pokemon game yet at all. Imagine if thousands of people wanting to get into/get back into Pokemon went out to buy a copy of X or Y or one of the newer games cause of this. Or even a used copy of Red/Blue. It's be cool if the resurgence of Pokemon happens course of this.

I love how we've been wondering around Fuchsia City aimlessly for the last hour. XD Also this is the best thing on Imgur right now.

Zenfyre February 20th, 2014 11:09 PM

Don't think I'll take part in it, but this is interesting to hear about and it's getting to be quite a thing too. I even got a Flareon from a Wonder Trade named FalseProphet the other day.

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 11:23 PM

Oh my god apparently you can dig yourself out of the Safari Zone. I am laughing so hard omg.

Siigari February 20th, 2014 11:24 PM

lol that dig had me in stitches

Flushed February 20th, 2014 11:31 PM

Decided to check it out, been seeing a lot of Imgur posts so I'm vaguely familiar with the plots and stuff.

I just find it hilarious the first trainer battle I watch they keep going to the S.S. Ticket for for advice haha.

Zenfyre February 20th, 2014 11:35 PM

I don't have a Helix Fossil for guidance. What do I do when the heretic has chosen me?

Aether★ February 20th, 2014 11:39 PM

They're about to get next badge, unfortunately the rest of team is underleveled and only Bird Jesus will gain levels.

Aquacorde February 20th, 2014 11:52 PM

We're battling Koga but about to go down because we made it to him with only Bird Jesus haha. Not that the others would have helped much tbh but they might have a bit. WE JUST NEED TO TRAIN GDI

MegaTyphlosion February 21st, 2014 12:13 AM

Ok, just woke up. What have I missed? Apparently ran from a Snorlax, failed epically at Koga's gym and dug out of the safari zone. Anything else?

And Oddish evolved? Ok, I wasn't expecting that. That seems a bit random.

EDIT: A wikipedia page for this? Really? Definately didn't expect that. Speaking of major sites reporting on this, has anyone seen the BBC article on it?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26240191

I draw your attention to the caption of the picture halfway down. "Pokemon was even made into a film." I don't even know how to respond to that.

Oh my god this made me smile so much. I feel like I've been a part of a large historical event.

"Twitch Plays Pokémon encapsulates the best and worst qualities of our user-driven, novelty-hungry age. Today's Internet has an extraordinary propensity for creating things that (1) grow quickly, virally, and organically through word of mouth, (2) provide hours of entertainment, and (3) waste days of peoples' lives for no apparent purpose (see also: Flappy Bird)."

I love this quote so much.

Also:

"...such as the aforementioned Helix Fossil, which players jokingly considered to be a deity"

Lol they think we're joking... ;3

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 12:22 AM

We totally are part of history. Or at least something massive that will be remembered. It's really cool. :D I think it was the guys on The Patch that said this might be what cements Twitch into the gaming community, so that's kind of a big deal.

Don't know if anyone mentioned, but we did pick up the Super Rod at some point. If we begin to consult it or actually use it remains to be seen. We also used our last two Great Balls trying to catch someone else's Arbok.

Aether★ February 21st, 2014 12:26 AM

I wonder if the missingno glitch is working there... Hehehehehe. Imagine them getting to Cinnabar and doing that.

εcho. February 21st, 2014 12:41 AM

Just deleted Gust for Mirror Move on Bird Jesus... this should make things interesting.

But yay, Koga has been defeated!

♥♥♥♥. now we're really going to have to desperately level up the others. We can't rely on a-spam. We have a 1/4 chance of hitting an attack move with Bird Jesus. Goddamn. We need to kick our training program in gear. And we gotta go get Fly.

But wow, five badges! Go us!

Treecko February 21st, 2014 1:16 AM

Ugh Mirror Move is not a good move at all. We better do some grinding cause The Keeper could be a great help if it learns Psychic at level 32. Rick Gastly could easily beat Sabrina once it's leveled up by at least 20/25 levels. At least we're making progress. Hopefully we don't get Surf while I sleep. I'd love to witness the craziness in the Safari Zone. If only we consulted the Super Rod more cause then we could catch a good Water type to beat Blaine with and to Surf with.

Edit: We have entered the Safari Zone! Oh boy here it goes......

And we caught a Venonat! Didn't catch it's name though. Fan name Burger King has been established so far. Edit two Venonats! XD
