Lololol, found Scyther, fed it too much and now we can't hit it with a Pokeball.

Edit: caught a Nidoran though. Apparently only the weakest Pokemon are good enough for this team.

Siigari February 21st, 2014 1:33 AM

All the Pokemon in the Safari Zone right now:

Aww yiss

Mutha ♥♥♥♥in bait.

Treecko February 21st, 2014 1:34 AM

We also found a Rhydon and failed to catch it... And now we have two male Nidoran.....

εcho. February 21st, 2014 1:36 AM

Oh I missed the Rhydon. This is what happens when I try watching Olympics, playing Y and watching TPP at the same time.

Treecko February 21st, 2014 1:38 AM

This is more important than the Olympics though. 50,000 people are playing Pokemon at the same time.

εcho. February 21st, 2014 1:43 AM

I do suppose that's true.

Looks like we'll be switching over to democracy sometime soon.

Treecko February 21st, 2014 1:44 AM

From the looks of it yeah. That could help us get through this easier and we might actually get to the Surf house.

εcho. February 21st, 2014 1:49 AM

yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Also, caught AAA the Paras. Triple A seems to be the nickname going around.

Treecko February 21st, 2014 1:51 AM

Yep was gonna say that. Triple A like the battery or the insurance company. I saw one comment that said "AAA Anarchy Insurance". XD

Edit: Aww dang we ran out of steps before getting Surf. :( Oh well we can keep trying though. We got a few Pokemon though. Welcome to the family Burger King, the other Venonat, both Nidoran and AAA!

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 2:07 AM

Holy man. Well I guess now we have options if we do terrible things with the PC.

εcho. February 21st, 2014 2:08 AM

Yeah, we'll see how it goes this time now that we have Democracy. xD

Dang, Parasect looks terrifying in gen 1.

Edit: Ugh, now the Start9 trolls are at it again.

Treecko February 21st, 2014 2:09 AM

Looks like we just went to Democracy and just missed the opportunity to catch a Parasect which could of been a good help to our team.

Edit; We are going no where with Democracy again. Stuck at the same cliff for a while. Also here's this funny tumblr thing. This is so true, it's too funny.

Shhmew February 21st, 2014 2:16 AM

lol, democracy. did they really think this would work? start9 trolls paired with the massive delay time only equals disaster. They're VERY quickly bringing it back to Anarchy though.

Edit: Yup, back to anarchy ;P I guess we'll fail the safari zone a few times before the step counter is taken out?

Treecko February 21st, 2014 2:21 AM

Well back to Anarchy again. I'm kind of hoping we don't get Surf anytime soon and want them to fail until I wake up at least. I need sleep now. I can get 2 hours or get nothing. XD

εcho. February 21st, 2014 2:25 AM

LOL @ Digrat once again.

It'll be quite some time before we make our way back to the Safari Zone, I'm sure.

Olli February 21st, 2014 2:28 AM

Didn't they accidentally make Ghost types weak to Psychic types in the first generation games or something? If that's the case, Rick Gastly won't be much help against Sabrina, and we'll have to rely on DigRat and Bird Jesus. And without Gust, that isn't gonna be too easy hnnggg. Hoping I'm mistaken, or that Joe might've somehow fixed it in the hack.

I think all the Ghost types in gen 1 are also Poison which is why they're weak to Psychic. Not sure though. But yeah, Rick Gastly will be useless.

Wobbu February 21st, 2014 2:43 AM

These fan-made nicknames are killing me lmao. Rick Gastly, Bird Jesus, The Keeper, Slayer of Trees, DigRat, and Cabbage. I'm almost tempted to catch those Pokèmon in X and give them the same nicknames. So they're at Fuschia trying to obtain Surf from the Safari Zone? I haven't been keeping up with this the last couple days.

Olli February 21st, 2014 2:49 AM

Just read up on it. Psychic is completely immune to Ghost types, so yeahh. Rick won't be any help. Not to mention he's probably also gonna faint easily due to his Ghost typing like you mentioned.

Treecko February 21st, 2014 4:54 AM

Yeah I keep forgetting the Weakness charts have been updated twice since Gen 1. I just remembered Ash having to catch a Ghost-type to beat Sabrina . >.>The anime lied to me. At least we've caught a few good Bug types we could grind to help beat her (though I'd hate to have to go through the dreaded PC again and lose a team member by accident) or use Bird Jesus again.....

Yeah Wobbu , they have yet to get Surf in the Safari Zone if I'm not mistaken, but they've been through a few times. I'm hearing the creator is stepping in eventually to help us get Surf.

Without fly? Impossible.

And even if we do get fly, I don't think we'll be able to coordinate long enough to stay on the coast tiles.

Wicked3DS February 21st, 2014 5:35 AM

I'm disappointed that they released a Charmeleon, I don't even care what else is going on.

Okay, I've been checking in every couple of hours and I love culture of it, with the nicknames and "The Helix" and such. How did they manage to get Bird Jesus that high up in levels so early?

Spinosaurus February 21st, 2014 5:42 AM

We should use some of the safari zone Pokemon.

Not really. The Gastly line in Red/Blue are weak to Psychic if anything, and Psychic are immune to Ghosts due to programming error. EDIT: Oh, missed some of the above posts.

Oh yeah! Granted the amount of times we're gonna go through the Safari Zone, we'll have to catch a few. A lot of them are Poison type though. And then we'll just have to hope that no one gets released in the process of retrieving the Pokemon, in case we're not in democracy mode (which would be no fun!).

Ivysaur February 21st, 2014 6:35 AM

We caught a surf-able pokémon, Ryhorn! Sadly the anarchists took over and aborted the Safari Zone walkthrough in the middle :( Will we ever make it?

Olli February 21st, 2014 6:45 AM

...I legit thought Rhyhorn might actually have been a Surf-able Pokemon for a second. Bulbapedia said otherwise though :( Getting through the Safari Zone is probably gonna take a while though, with the slow movement speed of democracy, and the danger of the anarachists ruining it. We'll just have to put our faith in Lord Helix to guide us through it!

Farore February 21st, 2014 6:53 AM

If I remember correctly, Rhydon can learn surf but not Rhyhorn.

...aaannd we just caught another Venonat, named "A".

So original, lol.

Wicked3DS February 21st, 2014 7:20 AM

Were gonna end up with about 100 Pokémon at this rate.

Farore February 21st, 2014 7:27 AM

Nah, we would need to change boxes when Box 1 is full, in first Gen it's not automatic.

Let's try to picture how it goes, shall we?

...

Oh the horror. We're so dead.



Edit: We caught another Nidoran male by the way, his name is pretty much the same as Rhyhorn, he is called AAEWWW!

Oh yeah, you're right! Though I doubt we can get it to level 42 before having to go to Cinnabar, and that's hoping we don't press b during the evolution.

Yeahh, someone's definitely bound to die once we reach the PC. We can only hope it's not someone important haha.

Soo, how many of the Pokemon we've nicknamed does/did not have a in their name? :p

LusoTrainer February 21st, 2014 8:01 AM

Level 32 Venomoth. Not bad...

Aether★ February 21st, 2014 8:36 AM

And thanks to democracy, they've reached the secret house and got Surf. Now the chaos can begin again.

Farore February 21st, 2014 8:39 AM

And we got the gold teeth too!

Now all the anarchists want to go crazy, aha.

Edit : I was scared when we got on the PC, but no sacrifices were made, thanks Helix.

Digrat and Rick Ghastly were deposited, which is a little sad, but we retrieved our newly catched AATTVVV, the "All-Terrain" Venomoth!

Also, there's an empty slot left for Lapras, maybe we're getting smart nowadays!


And you know what? We finished the dreaded safari with... 154 steps left, thanks to the Democracy. LIKE A BOSS.

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 9:47 AM

Democracy is hecka useful sometimes. I'm sad that AJ isn't in the party anymore but hey, All-Terrain Venomoth seems to be doing well. Tbh I'd like AJ back before we head to Cinnabar because... watch us go the wrong way/overshoot/whatever and end up lost in Seafoam. Dx

εcho. February 21st, 2014 10:01 AM

Wow, I can't believe we managed to get Surf AND the gold teeth for Strength while I was asleep. :P

Sad about Digrat, but ATV seems to be fitting into the team nicely.

Seriously? I remember thinking there's no way we'd be able to get through the Safari Zone, and now look at us <_<

*furiously goes to check twitch*

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 10:07 AM

lol we just blacked out and got sent back to Fuschia. xD; At least we got a bit of training in- the Keeper tried to evolve, but I think we're denying that until he learns Psychic again. Which is fair- if we do that and he doesn't manage to learn it, then we have another shot after he evolves.

Olli February 21st, 2014 10:16 AM

Aw man, they deposited Digrat? D: Thank Helix nothing was sacrificed during the PC trip, but we'll still have to go back there for Lapras, so we're not save yet. Did we actually manage a PC trip without depositing Lord Helix though? :O

Right now Red's just wandering aimlessly around Fuschia. Reckon we're headed for Saffron?

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 10:22 AM

The PC trip was an incredible success, I'm amazed. We shouldn't even have to go back in if we grab Lapras without catching anything else. (But... Digrat.... ;___;)

Olli February 21st, 2014 10:48 AM

Oh wait, we have one slot free in out party? Well that makes everything a lot easier! Just as long as we don't accidentally catch anything. We better toss out all our Pokeballs! I think we can survive without Digrat if it means getting a Lapras :(

Treecko February 21st, 2014 10:54 AM

Yes we got a good Bug type! Though we deposited Digrat and Rick. :( But hey, that means we have a chance to get Lapras if we don't screw up. Also, this battle that's going on right now reminded me of how creepy Acid sounds in Gen 1. D: And being Poisoned. >_>

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 10:54 AM

Yeah, we can. It's kind of sad though because we traded AJ for ATV and like... it may be a good Bug-type, but Venomoth is only going to get two good moves, both of which are psychic-type. And we already have the Keeper. And ATV is gonna get slaughtered by Sabrina and he minions. :( AJ I MISS YOU

Nillemi February 21st, 2014 11:02 AM

Holy crap, Democracy was used without a ton of start9 trolls ruining it?

Spinosaurus February 21st, 2014 11:46 AM

Venomoth should be treasured. Another user against Agatha.

LividZephyr February 21st, 2014 12:09 PM

Been following this. I've seen the following firsthand:
-Running from Snorlax
-The Game Over in Fuschia that took them back to Lavender
-Reaching the end of the Safari Zone for Surf

That's about all I've been able to see. But this thing is amusing and the Internet's reactions are amazing. I didn't get to see any of Abby sadly... why did they release her? :(

The trolls are funny. Start9 is a meme, the Helix Fossil is a meme, this came out:
http://xkcd.com/1333/

...yeah the whole thing is amazing.

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 12:16 PM

They released Abby accidentally through trying to use the PC- it's a dangerous thing, and we should avoid it at all costs. :P

We're almost back to Saffron! Silph Co and Lapras await!

Abby and Jay Leno (the second Rattata they caught) were released in the battle to box Flareon, since most people wanted the spot open for Lapras instead. It turned out to a bloody slaughter, with Bird Jesus almost sacrificed in the process. The False Prophet survived, but was released a short while after. And everyone rejoiced. Poor thing :(

But yeahh, all this lore and the memes are really what makes all this such a great experience, and I hope it'll be something that sticks with the community long after. Unfortunately the number of viewers seem to have dropped, but it might just be due to the time of the day D:

Spinosaurus February 21st, 2014 12:27 PM

Here's the status of the run

I've seen the hiker battle live after the 11 hour ledge and it was SO clutch. Still think it's the highlight of the stream.

Sydian February 21st, 2014 12:35 PM

lmao what if they go to the seafoam islands guys

GUYS

WHAT IF THEY CATCH LEGENDARIES AND RELEASE THEM

Pfftt, this game doesn't end until they've caught Mewtwo >:O (and released him).

I doubt Articuno would be the one to be caught though, considering it's the only on of the three that actually has a puzzle guarding it. Hngg, so not looking forward to the boulder pushing in Victory Road. Think of how impossible that'd be with anarchy ;o;

Sydian February 21st, 2014 12:42 PM

I feel like a lot of people are gonna want to try to get through seafoam anyway lmao. Power Plant will be fun...just walk straight to Zapdos! YEAH!

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BhBm_kACIAA6uEG.jpg:large

bwburke94 February 21st, 2014 12:43 PM

We have no shot of actually getting a legendary. Some troll will get us to run from them.

Wicked3DS February 21st, 2014 12:57 PM

I found this rather humorous: I just got an email from Twitch with the subject "What to watch this weekend on Twitch."

Yeah, as if I have a difficult choice...

It's sad that I have to work, I really wanted to see them beat the Safari Zone. You bet I'll be watching tonight though!

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 1:49 PM

Sooo... the chat broke. There's a message that says it's undergoing maintenance and no inputs are being registered. But the worst part is that we're stuck in battle with the Low Health Alert playing. Dx

Spinosaurus February 21st, 2014 1:50 PM

I'm honestly really glad we're keeping Dux so far. Farfetch'd is my favorite Pokemon. :3

http://i.imgur.com/46CByt8.gif

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 1:52 PM

Dux is doing really well, even though most people are indifferent to him. :D I mean all I usually hear about is how bad Farfetch'd is but. I like them a lot more now.

AND THE CHAT IS BACK
and we blacked out immediately lmao



a prayer from the book of helix

hiff8 February 21st, 2014 2:56 PM

I just hope that Pigiotto-Jesus doesn't get released, he's the one and only hope for the game!

Wicked3DS February 21st, 2014 3:10 PM

Silph is gonna take quite a while, but it will be nice to have Lapras.

By the way, how did Flareon get the "false prophet" moniker?

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 3:14 PM

Well, it was kind of a base-breaker. Some wanted Eevee for the potential Vaporeon, others wanted to forgo it and grab Lapras for a surfer. We ended up with Eevee and then there was further argument about whether we should have Vaporeon (for surf) or Jolteon (bc boss). We then went to buy an evo stone and ended up with 4 Pokédolls and a Fire Stone. A division of users then hatched a plan to repeatedly open the menu and try to get the Fire Stone used on Eevee to stop the arguments. They succeeded. And basically everything about Eevee caused chaos. Thus, the False Prophet, follower of the Dome.

Don't forget because of Flareon, we had to access the PC to deposit a Pokemon for Lapras, which ended up in releasing Abby and Jay Leno.


Treecko February 21st, 2014 3:33 PM

It's only been 8 days and there's already been people tired of seeing this and hating it with a fiery passion. Some people just don't know how to have fun. *sigh* If you don't like it , don't play/watch it is what I say. Ignoring it easier than you think and who cares if there's tons of memes/fan art. A lot of good and popular things have ton of fan art. Okay rant over. In the end Lord Helix will smite those non-believers. He will give the evil ones what they deserve.

Spinosaurus February 21st, 2014 3:44 PM

It's been 8 days? Holy crap, the fact we managed to reach this far in that span of time, all things considered, is amazing. A lot of people thought it would take months when it started, me included.

http://i.imgur.com/gut54zO.gif

fenyx4 February 21st, 2014 3:56 PM

Well, I've seen "Twitch Plays Pokemon" mentioned across various sites, but I thought it was just some random typical "Let's Play" broadcast...little did I know that the scope was far beyond that. XD

Thanks to this post that unexpectedly made Pokemon Red/Blue music randomly start playing in another tab in the browser I was using 1-2 days ago, I scrolled down to find what the trigger/source was, and I eventually became engrossed in it. XD Ugh...this is kind of why I try not to spend too much time with livestreams, but this particular one was just too compelling! Once I found out it had a Bulbapedia and Wikipedia page dedicated to it, I considered whether I should start a TVTropes page for it - lo and behold, to my appreciation, it already had a detailed page of its own! (and even a KnowYourMeme page for all of the intriguing memes spawned from the Pokemon phenomenon, along with its vast, dedicated subreddit!)

This has been quite an eventful month, though...from Pokemon Bank's English release to Diancie's reveal, and now Twitch Plays Pokemon (amidst other things in pop culture, like Little Mac's SSB4 announcement, 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, Power Rangers Megaforce's Season 2 premiere)... Although I kind of want the stream to be somewhat lengthy, if it keeps going on like this, it's going to detract from my productiveness a bit each day! {XD}

Anyways, I was present when we underwent the epic and tenseful "Lavender Town to Fuchsia City maneuver", where we got to Fuschia City after a long trek from Lavender Town (annoyingly, my stream decided to conk out the moment we transitioned from the route we were traveling on to Fuchsia City's boundaries), attempted to enter Fuchsia City's (OMG; at this rate, 'fuschia' totally needs to be a valid spelling of 'fuchsia') Pokemon Center, succumbed to a ledge, tried to replicate the feat again, strolled into Fuchsia Gym with Pidgeot as the only conscious Party Pokemon (any blackouts would've meant going back all the way to Lavender Town to likely navigate Kanto Route 12's maze again), casually took down a Gym Trainer like it was nothing (who had only 1 Pokemon, although we sadly got Pidgeot poisoned in the process), with the chat subsequently going into a craze of reaching Democracy Mode in time to retain our progress. Unfortunately, Pidgeot succumbed to poison in the overworld, sending Red back to Lavender Town... That was probably one of the most depressing moments in videogaming that I've ever seen; it would've been such a Crowning Moment of Awesome if we had made to Fuchsia's Pokemon Center... ;-;

I've watched most of Day 8 (I think I started on Day 6 or 7), although I missed the battle against Gym Leader Koga most of the Kanto Safari Zone navigation (I'm still hoping to actually be present during a time period where Democracy Mode is being used as opposed to Anarchy Mode). The "Great Freeze" (where inputs ceased to be acknowledged by the game as Twitch chat server maintenance was occurring) was hilarious with all of the "rioting", followed by the brief bursts of the game displaying all of the scrolling incoming inputs at a very rapid rate.

Despite being just a viewer (for now), I still feel way more powerless compared to whenever I do battles in Hoenn's Battle Palace (where the computer essentially chooses move commands for your Pokemon at random, and your only permissible action is switching Pokemon). XD I feel like yelling at someone each time we screw up something (even though I haven't actually contributed to the chat yet). XD

I'm somewhat split on the use of Anarchy Mode vs. Democracy Mode.. While Anarchy Mode is truer to the spirit of the game/event, IMO, Democracy Mode does help things get done (I'm glad Democracy Mode was used in the Safari Zone; would've liked to see it prevail during the aforementioned Pidgeot poisoning). I'm hoping it gets used primarily to prevent Unwinnable situations (i.e., if Pidgeot accidentally gets released at the PC, we don't really have any other high-level Pokemon, and it might take substantial experience-point grinding to get Pokemon to levels that can withstand/face the Elite Four properly... And since we can't re-battle Trainers in the game, if we don't have Pay Day, we have to conserve a lot of our money for potential things like resources and stuff).

Also, I LOL'd when I heard that we apparently soft-reset the game at point, leading to the disabling of the Select button. XD

The fact that the Low Health Alert annoying was playing at the moment was like icing on the cake (for me, it felt slightly annoying yet very appropriate). XD

---

In any case, I'll be watching for a while... Still awaiting the Sabrina battle, Viridian Gym battle, as well as pretty much everything that happens once we enter Victory Road. XD

To quote a few people:
Quote:

It's so bizarre how quickly this turned into an internet phenomenon. (Source)

So, in one week, we've spawned a new religion, grown martyrs and expelled heathens, and entered into a new leg of political debate, which was settled (mostly) in about 48 hours.
If this wasn't a video game, we'd be in history books by now, boys. We're more significant to the history of the world than Sealand, I'd wager. (Source)

Lastly, obligatory XKCD comic! (Reddit comments are equally hilarious; and that subreddit's user flairs are so fitting!)

Same here. We might actually be done in a week or two. o.e It could still be talked about a month from now though. I'd like this to be something the community remembers for a long time. With so much fan art, inside jokes and memes, I'm sure it won't be hard to forget lol.

fenyx4 February 21st, 2014 4:18 PM

Observing the "Red vs. Blue at Silph Co. Building" battle now. So glad that Pidgeot managed to get sent out, smited "Fake Pidgeot" and avenged its comrades in the process, and grew to Level 56 upon smiting said Pidgeot! LOL; and now it's proceeding to make short work of the rest of Blue's team. XD :t018:

Also, I neglected to mention earlier that I was sad to hear that Charmeleon and Flareon got released, but Pidgeot seems to be carrying the baton of strength for now. :) YESSSS; Pidgeot just swept Blue's team!

EDIT: Freaking hilarious! Actually OBTAINING Lapras took quite a few minutes (I thought we were going to warp out accidentially!), and it received the glorious mismatched nickname of AIIIIIIRRR, or AIR for short!) {XD} :t131:

Tsutarja February 21st, 2014 4:26 PM

Welp, looks like the Lapras got named AIIIIIIRRR. Interesting name to say the least.

Spinosaurus February 21st, 2014 4:30 PM

Kinda of a fitting name for a surfer when you think about it. Like it's gasping for air.

About time though. WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 4:38 PM

I love AIIIIIIRRR a lot already. <33

OH here's a thing: Operation: Seed of Hope. Don't think it'll ever be implemented, but it's a good strategy in theory.

Me too bro. I mean I do input sometimes but my main involvement is watching and discussing. But that's a big part as well. We're involved!

Ivysaur February 21st, 2014 4:58 PM

Currently the Hive Mind is stuck between fighting Giovanni or healing. Red has been walking up and down the corridor leading to him for a while now.

Also it's so freaking hilarious that your run-of-the-mill Bird Keeper is a bigger threat to us than Blue, who so far has lost every single battle on our first try.

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 5:06 PM

It looks like the healing faction is winning, as usual. Most people realize it's faster to heal than to make our way all the way up again.

I'm amazed that we've taken out Blue every time tbh. But, I mean, once Abba Jesus gets involved we prolly gonna win so.

Wow, really? XD The only Blue battle I've seen so far was the Silph Co. one, but I didn't know we beat him on the first try in previous battles. XD I'm hoping the Champion fight turns out like that, although I'm hoping it's tough as well.

On a side-note, I read someone suggesting that if we ever do a Twitch Plays Pokemon event for Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal, we should hack Red's team so that it resembles the one from this (Pokemon Red) playthrough (I'm guessing that the Hall of Fame team would be ideal). {XD} The idea does seem appealing, IMO.

It's so cool that Pidgeot has gotten much more exposure through this event. XD I mean, before, it was a Pokemon liked by a few fans, but now, the sheer size of Pidgeot's fanbase is just...wow. If I ever get a Shiny Pidgeot, unless I can think of something better, I'll most likely be nicknaming it aaabaaajss, in honor of this kick-butt Pidgeot. :3

Sigh...I'll have to resort to the Reddit live-update thread for now; Twitch.tv stream isn't working.. T_T

Ivysaur February 21st, 2014 5:52 PM

Oh, I have renamed my Y Lv 55 Pidgeot to Abba Jesus already. Looking into calling my Lapras "Air" as well.

LusoTrainer February 21st, 2014 6:08 PM

I've accompanied this "event" since the beginning, and honestly, I think that turning the inside jokes into memes and making fan art of those is blowing them way out of porportion (and a bit childish), and thus makes it lose the fun of it. But hey, if people are happy doing it, I've nothing against that.

I believe Pidgeot was already one of the most fairly well known Pokémon. I think this benefited Pokémon like Drowzee and Venomoth much more, since they are a bit more "obscure" in comparison.

Childish, as we sit here talking about Pokémon Red, which was aimed at which age group?

Aquacorde February 21st, 2014 6:36 PM

Awww, lil bby Air just finished off a Rocket Cubone. <33 Just noticed that we have yet to teach it Surf and Strength, though. Should get on that and then go train it up- then we have 3/4 chances of pressing an attack move on someone that could be useful!

immediate next battle has Air get taken out by a Raticate buuuut you know. it's the effort that counts.

It's on the internet though. Most of the fan made content comes from Reddit and Tumblr. So of course it gets blown out of proportions. Everything on Reddit and Tumblr gets blown up out of proportions. Just look at the Doge tag on Tumblr, you'll see that.Nothing wrong in having fun with this, especially with a game aimed at children anyways.

I'm so glad we got a Lapras now!Yay for Air! (that sounds funny in my head, like I'm happy air exist. XD) It looks like it's doing good for itself too. Hopefully it stays on our team for the rest of the game and we can use it for Surf.

and we blacked out immediately lmao



a prayer from the book of helix

Priest: HELIX be with you.
People: And also with you.
Priest: ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ Raise your dongers.
People: ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ We raise them up to the Lord. ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ
Priest: Let us give thanks to the HELIX, our God.
People: It is right to give Him thanks and praise.

How exactly did they manage to name it Dux anyway? I mean, that's just really impressive considering how chaotic the stream usually is.

How is discussing the game, or this event in particular, childish? The discussion can get childish, but the act of discussing it isn't.

Dux is the default name of Farfetch'd that you get from a trade (in Red/Blue). Heck, I remember how annoying it was, since Farfetch'd was one of my favourite Pokémon and I was stuck with that nickname.

Spinosaurus February 22nd, 2014 3:54 AM

Dux is an adorable name though. :(

And hell yeah, Farfetch'd lovers are bestest.

Ivysaur February 22nd, 2014 4:34 AM

Bets on when we'll beat Silph? Today? Next week? We have spent all night pointlessly grinding in the 50-exp-per-battle grass outside of Vermillion apparently.

It's gonna take a while with Pidgeot being the only decent Pokemon.

LusoTrainer February 22nd, 2014 5:06 AM

Probably next week, unless they get lucky.

Olli February 22nd, 2014 6:44 AM

I don't know why, but I love Lapras' name sooo much for some reason. And the fact that we actually got it :DD On the topic of how popular the Pokémon have grown, I feel like most people will get the Pokémon just to have them, but their legacy will definitely be stapled into the memories of many haha.

Have we actually been in battle with Giovanni yet? Right now they seem to just be wandering around inside Silph Co., but could be they're just stuck :p Still not looking forward to Sabrina's gym though D: Also:

http://images.ezgif.com/tmp/gif_720x400_a5a1f7.gif

I died.

Farore February 22nd, 2014 7:49 AM

We beat Giovanni and got the Master Ball!

I wonder how much time we have before we either a) toss it, b) use it on a trainer's Pokemon, c) use it on a Rattata or Tentacool. Can we pray for a miracle?

The suspense is killing me.

Ivysaur February 22nd, 2014 7:52 AM

We should go for Zapdos while we can. Could replace Cabbage tbh.

Farore February 22nd, 2014 7:56 AM

I would prefer Articuno personally but we will see how it goes...

I wonder if the Master Ball can survive that long anyway since there are people spamming start and trying to toss it.

Gyardosamped February 22nd, 2014 9:04 AM

The stream is interesting yet so frustrating to watch, especially when all poor Red does is go in circles. ;_;

I mean, I know it's been over 9 days that the stream has been active, but I'm still stunned at how far into the game people have gotten.

Also, the "Bird Jesus" joke is hilarious. I think "Bird Jesus" will be our only hope for beating the game, lol.

TopleyBird February 22nd, 2014 9:12 AM

So, will the Safari Zone actually be possible? 500 steps to get to the secret house isn't even that easy if you aren't walking in circles.

Treecko February 22nd, 2014 9:35 AM

Woah we've already beat Giovanni in Silph Co.? Wow we're moving faster than I thought. Looks like we're in Sabrina's Gym . I'm not sure how we'll beat her, but ATV has fainted so we'd probably just rely on Bird Jesus again....we've been struggling with the warp titles of course haha.

Edit: We whited out, so hopefully next time we still have ATV.

Spinosaurus February 22nd, 2014 9:42 AM

I agree on Zapdos. Bird Jesus #2, plus he's the easiest to get and easily the best of the three.

But we're gonna end up tossing that damn Master Ball.

Treecko February 22nd, 2014 9:45 AM

Yeah the unfortunate part of this game is that we toss the important items.......besides releasing good Pokemon of course. I think getting Zapdos would be easiest too and it's just cooler.

Dr. Seuss February 22nd, 2014 9:49 AM

I watch these experiment and wow, Is possible finish these game?
I only enter a few moments, but in my pc the game is very slow :c

I'm expected to see the final of these experiment.

We actually got it done already haha. With ~145 steps left over!

Look a new one from that one artist! All-Terrain Venomoth & friends~


also, damn.

Treecko February 22nd, 2014 9:57 AM

So I guess we actually have Surf now which is good. Now we need to get pass Sabrina's warp panel puzzle.......

That is strangely true about life. Holy crap.

Ivysaur February 22nd, 2014 10:49 AM

It's not much of a puzzle, all you have to do is walk to the teleport tile right straight above/up from where you are, and you'll eventually end up in her room. You don't need to walk right/left a single time to finish it.

Of course, "walking on a straight line" here is kind of impossible.

Treecko February 22nd, 2014 10:58 AM

Yeah it's not a hard puzzle at all , but when there's 65,000+ people trying to do that puzzle , that's when it get complicated. Our big problem now seems to be getting past these Channelers and their Gastly and Haunter.

Olli February 22nd, 2014 10:59 AM

Lmao dat All-Terrain Venomoth. Seems like we're in Sabrina's gym now :O Does that mean we finally beat Giovanni inside of the Silph Co.? In any case, I really wish we had Digrat at the moment, since there isn't really any easy way to get out of the gym withouth accidentally getting challenged by trainers D:

Ehh, it's a bit of a stretch, but quite true at some points! I really like the amount of thought and effort people put into their theories, creations, philosophical insight etc. about this whole thing. I know it's been stressed enough in this thread, but the phenomenon that this whole thing has created is really amazing :)

Treecko February 22nd, 2014 11:10 AM

For a minute there we made to Sabrina....and then we went to the wrong sqaured and teleported back. Now we're going in circles again.

It truely amazing how much this has spread in 9 days. There's so many people being brough together and it proves how something like Pokemon can bring the world together. Like in college yesterday I ran into 5 people playing X/Y and it made me happy. I made a friend on the bus when I saw this guy playing Pokemon X and he found my PR video hilarious. Also there's the college that did this.

Aquacorde February 22nd, 2014 11:23 AM
