As for those encouraging we release the Pokemon, ;P If people listen to them and actually did it then that's obviously the decision of the masses because it would take a lot of cooperation to release something on purpose. Remember, this is just a social experiment. I too find it a little boring this playthrough is zipping by so fast though, it's a huge contrast to being stuck in the rocket hideout for days haha. But does anyone know if it ends at the E4 or Red? Because the E4 is laughably easy but getting to Red would be extremely difficult, so it seems either might be a little disappointing. .-. |
You do make a good point Shhmew, but I'd honestly wish they'd look over chat for streams more too. Some of them can get pretty spammy, especially Twitch Plays Pokemon. I know TPP has a slow mode, cause I've gotten that message when trying to put in a command too early. But I have seen the same person spam the same thing over and over. Maybe not one after one, but still very often.
I'd like us to go on to beat Red, but it may just depend on how willing people are to go through Kanto again. That would make this playthrough end up lasting longer (maybe longer than the original) since Kanto takes much longer than Johto from my perspective. Plus I still think it would be neat to see us battle Red with the original Twitch team. Though I still imagine us taking ages to beat Red and people getting bored cause it's taking too long. lol That's what happened we started grinding in Red, the view count dropped drastically and then picked up when we got to the E4 and picked up more when we beat Blue. |
After getting a few add-ons for Fire-Fox, the TPP chat is less vomit-inducing!

Wow I haven't checked the stream in a day cause we have no internet at home. :( Good thing I had to go to school to do something. (But no one is really coming here much anyway....)
And from the looks of it, we got Brain (Pidgey/Pidgeot )and HootHoot aka Dr.Hoot out of the PC. And Burrito is at level 24. So our team is much better now. And we're in Price's Gym already. We seem to have yet catch the Red Gyarados though. We released Prince Omelette and Wooper Goldberg it seems though. :( Rest in peace both of you. Just like in Red during Bloody Sunday, I think we should keep going with this team. We have 3 Pokemon at level 30 or higher and one almost at level 30. We should be good. Edit: Of course we're struggling with his ice puzzle though. XD |
I'm amazed. Seven badges already, holy man. And now that the party order is shuffled, our bbys are growing up. Yay for low-level mons everywhere?
|
I haven't watched this one very much, Doesn't have the same draw to me as Red did, Might watch as it gets further in but I don't like democracy being every hour, it was fun watching it fail so much now people just do other things and wait for democracy for the hard parts.
|
The group is growing, all of our members have their reasons to become stronger. Keep trekking, AJ.

Been a while since I checked the stream, but wow I can't believe they have Shuckie xP
Anyway, they're at Petrel (as he's known as in HGSS) now it seems, this may take a while. I haven't paid too much attention, however I wonder what they'll do against Clair. |

Just watched them fight the Fake Director. Everyone bar Feraligatr fainted at the Weezing, then (once they finally selected him) he swept. |
Oh my bad. I've been so out of the loop lately with the stream cause I've had no internet at home for the last 2 days. Thank goodness we payed our bill and have it back now. :D It looks like we're fighting Rocket in the Radio Tower now. Guess the puzzles there have been as difficult as the one in their Hideout. And this is the lowest I've seen the view count for the stream have thus far. Only about 16,000....
|
By the number of viewers, and the fact that there haven't been any posts here in a day or so, it seems like the whole thing is dying down quite a bit (to state the obvious lol, would've expected that much after beating Red Version). It's quite sad really.
Anyways, checking in since I haven't much lately, they're about to face Clair. The team's looking pretty sad tbh. Why is there a level 30 unevolved Hoothoot? |
Quote:
The Hoothoot thing is ridiculous though. |
It's fun to watch.
And its really amazing how fast they proces in the game :O |
To me it should just all be anarchy mode, without it I find it far to boring, I haven't seen many times when the game has had epic moments either. haven't watched since Morty and I doubt it got any more interesting. Democracy being every hour made things far to easy to complete puzzles.
Whats the HootHoot thing? |
Last I heard, they got to Victory Road with Feraligatr, Shuckle, Hoothoot, and Espeon. I haven't had much interest in this playthrough, honestly. :( And I think they got through Johto easier because 1. it's smaller than Red's Kanto and 2. there are less people playing this time.
|
It's still fun to me, but I've been watching less and less. We were attempting Victory Road , but now we seem to be wondering aimlessly . It died down when we were near Victory Road last time so I expected this, just not this bad. The new system could have been a part of it.
Spoiler:
It's like a hybrid of anarchy and democracy or something. Or some are calling it communism. lol The mandatory democracy system was the cause of lack of interest too. It's not as exciting. Also , I like this story/meme of LazorGator being a protector or a confidence builder.Or a general. Spoiler:
Spoiler:
Spoiler:
Spoiler:
And Espeon is a beacon of light: Spoiler:
It's starting to get a good story in my opinion. We apparently used our Masterball this time on a Goldeen....omg Spoiler:
aAND WE JUST TRIED CATCHING SUICUNE RIGHT NOW AND FAILED I CAN'T. |
This playthrough has gotten boring now. Just when they deposited Lasergatr and Pidgeot and were getting stomped by the Elite 4, things actually looked interesting, until Democracy kicked in. Now this game is pretty much being played, like a normal Let's Play walk though,except with Gold going though wrong directions every now and then.

I loved all the memes it spawned such as the Helix Fossil Worship, The False Prophet Flareon, Ledges, and Anarchy vs. Democracy. It was fun and amazing, but after the Red play-through ended, things started to go downhill. The first change to the system with the Democracy timer was fine, but I felt like it stated to become less enjoyable, especially with an over-reliance on Laser Gator early on in the run, and with it they started to get through the game faster than they did with Red (granted G/S/C doesn't have as many puzzles or challenges as R/B/Y did, but that's just me), and I slowly began to lose interest, to the point where every time I checked several hours later, they were much further into the game than they were last time. It wasn't until they changed the system to the new "communism" system as many are calling it and the fact that they used the Master Ball on a Goldeen that I gave up almost entirely and watched some of the Elite Four battles and I just felt uninterested. Last time I was on there were only 17,756 participants and I can tell people are getting bored, when there were about 65,000+ participants when they started on Crystal. I doubt they are even going to go further into Gen 3 if this keeps up... |
Wow such negativity here.
It's back to the original anarchy/democracy if that will make it fun for some people.... I think people just skipped over these, but there's still memes/stories for gen 2. They're just not as crazy or over-the top as like "Helix Worshiping" . Spoiler:
And why it rely on memes to be interesting anyway? The fact that thousands are playing Pokemon again makes me still into it. It's how chaoticlly it's controlled that's fun.This sums up the second playthrough perfectly. We don't need gods to have fun with this. Just Pokemon now. Spoiler:
Though I agree with the rest. I don't think we're moving on to Gen 3 at this rate or if it does there won't be as many viewers. At least there will be a new fossil to consult. We're failing the Elite Four again it seems and people kind of want to grind other members more. Edit: More Twitch Gen 2 lore Spoiler:
See you just need to find it. |
THEY DIDNT HEAL BEFORE LANCE AND MY BOYFRIEND JUST GOT UP AND LEFT HES SO MAD LMAO

I got to see them beat the E4! Took them a while once they got there, not helped by teleporting to New Bark Town from the league at least once, haha. It was pretty close too - I happened to switch it on midway through Koga, where their Espeon was sweeping. It then swept most of Bruno's team despite using Bite some times until it ran out of Psychic PP... and then it was a bit messy. KT the dragonair lost to Vileplume but Steelix took out Umbreon and Gengar, albeit falling to a Destiny Bond. Then the Pidgeot of the run beat the remaining of Karen's pokes, but took a beating (including a critical hit and missing with Fly...and Houndoom being healed with a Max Potion during Fly), so it had its HP in the red. So the battle against lance was just down to Feraligatr in essense, who got thunder waved by a Dragonite. And Cut kept being used. :V But it tanked hits like a boss, until the last Pokémon, Aerodactyl. Feraligatr had 30-odd HP left. And Aerodactyl was the one thing that Pidgeot can't really hit, of course. Feraligatr tanked a Hyper Beam with 6 HP left and OHKO'd with Icy Wind. :V I like it when I have good timing and get to see stuff like that, haha. As for the drop in viewers - well, no wonder. It's the second version, not the original phenomena which was brand new (and lasted over two weeks and had its fair share of frustrating parts - a day fighting a ledge? two days spinning in rocket hideout? Add crystal to that and no wonder viewers drop). And a lot of people would have only cared about the original run anyway. The social experiment was a success in beating an old Pokémon game, not everyone would care if it could be done again. Not that thousands of viewers at any one time is anything to sniff at over the course of 9 days either. It's much less than 70,000 (and that wasn't the number all the time in the Red play either, let's not forget), but it's still rather substantial and indicative, at least to myself, that there's still quite the interest in this sort of play. |
Ugggggh I miss us beat the Elite Four while sleeping. :/ Well good job everyone! And there's at least Kanto still to go.( I still hope people keep posting here cause this is pretty much my only place to discuss this and I'm still very much interested in it. )
The last battle with Lance sounds intense. I mean anytime I've won a battle with just barely any HP , it just surprises me. I usually try heal before then and wipe my opponent out with my next move. I'm so happy our Lazorgator took survived so many Hyper Beams and beat a Dragonite with 6 HP and Icy Wind. :D We're currently sweeping the Vermillion Gym now so we've probably already beat the SS Aqua or skipped it over. I can get the whole viewer drop and the "sequel never as good as the original thing." but there's still some interesting stories from this (see my above post).My favorite part of Gen 2's story is how LazorGator "sworn to beat the gods who took Prince Omelette away and beat Red". I bet the viewers count will go up drastically when we get to Red. Edit: I love the fact we have a hacked Steelix. I've always taught it was silly that you had to trade certain Pokemon to get them and you can't do that with ROMs without hacking. So sticking it to the man is cool in this case. Edit 2; A gif of Twitch Crystal's story so far http://mkerala.com/u/di/RPLU/gen2thusfar.gif Edit 3 We're about to face Red.THE SUSPENSE |
Looks like the hacked team that Red was suppose to get turned out to be true. Red has the same team that was used for the TPP Red version. Zapdos is the leadoff Pokemon and made short work of Lazorgator and Brian.
|
Yeah we'll probably gonna take a few tries to beat Red cause his team is set to the same levels as the original red. So a level 81 Zapdos vs Feraligator. At least it knows Icy Wind to make it easier. Who knows we could have our first level 100 lol.
And it's been pretty much confirmed we're going on to Emerald. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/132889-Twitch-Plays-Pokemon-Interview-TPP-Will-Continue-on-to-Emerald It will probably not be be huge at all, but we will see. I'm thinking gen 3 will be it for TPP though and then the streamer will call it quits. Edit: Nevermind it's set up to the levels he had in the Twitch game Zapdos just happened to be at level 81. This will go quicker than I thought. |
They just have to get past Zapdos and it's clear sailing. So ... whenever they manage to do that haha.
So they are doing Emerald? I might tune in again for it since maybe hopefully there will be more fun things coming out of it? Though I don't think anything it going to be able to beat the Red stream. |
