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.

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
