Ugggh I missed seeing us beating Giovanni cause I was in English class. I missed all the Gym battles cause I was either not watching it at the time, in school or sleeping. :( I was able to witness us in Sabrina and Giovanni's Gym, but that's all. I hopefully can witness at least one E4 battle. I'd love to see use beat Gary and become the Champion. Seriously hope I'm not in school or sleeping when it happens. D:
I did overhear someone mention Twitch Plays Pokemon in the hall after class and was like:
This; LOL nice animation. I'm hoping viewership spikes again once Red reaches the Kanto Elite 4 and Champion; viewership has steadily been declining from 70,000 to 60,000 to 50,000, although I guess it's to be expected. :/
The Elite 4 battles will be interesting to watch, indeed... since the Mob seems to heal Red's Pokemon at the most random times, I'm wondering whether things like Pidgeot and Zapdos will be able to one-hit knock out most foe Pokemon...
I'm just shocked they were actually able to coordinate and teach a Pokemon Surf. I would have thought that was going to be their downfall.
Did you watch them when they tried to get past the tile maze in the Rocket Hideout in Celadon City? That was a nightnmare to watch ;____;
Forgot that Rocket Hideout took about 24-26 hours to navigate properly (and was sole-handedly responsible for the instating of Democracy Mode); I guess I should be grateful that I've gotten to watch
some nice battles. XD
Man of course they would beat Giovanni while I'm not watching. Oh well. Maybe I'll get the chance to see them beat an Elite or something. Which they are probably going to have to it 3892 times before finally getting to Gary. And then just yeah that's gonna be fun to watch.
.... After they spend who knows how many days trying to get through Victory Road.
Y'know when people think of Gen II's difficult areas people are thinking of the Ice Caves. But before the Ice Cave I think there is one place that will be just as difficult (in TPP at least) and that's Morty's gym. Because hahah you have to go a certain direction or else BAM back to the beginning. :'D
Pryce's Gym will be a pain in the ass too.
Wow; it's almost the inverse for me - I've seen more Blue battles than Gym Leader battles. XD IIRC, I witnessed the
pre-Silph Co. rival battle, the Silph Co. rival battle, and the "re-"rematch on Kanto Route 22 (I didn't see the Route 22 rival battle that was situated near the beginning of the game/stream, and apparently Blue won the battle on Route 22 that was
post-Viridian Gym match.)
LOL; Ice Cave and Ecruteak Gym (Morty's Gym) are the top two contenders for "hardest place to navigate in Johto" that I've seen so far. XD I haven't tried either of them, so the results could be quite interesting.. (MWAHAHA; let's see the Mob/chat try to handle Mossdeep Gym (
Ruby/Sapphire variant or
Emerald variant) and Sootopolis Gym of Hoenn!)
By the way, if anyone comes across any nice
Twitch Plays Pokemon pictures, it would help if you posted it in
the event's "Image Links" page on TVTropes! Or you could just post it here so I could try to add it as well..
Also, the
Twitch Plays Pokemon subreddit is worth visiting, too!
--------------------
I kind of wish we grinded in Cinnabar Mansion
before taking on Viridian Gym so we didn't have to backtrack... With the amount of time that experience grinding is taking, maybe the Viridian Gym challenge could've been postponed and I could've caught it live! :<
On a side-note, can someone please explain the concept/allure of "Revive Girl" to me? Was she one of those
NPC Roadblocks that moves around inconveniently and trapped Red for a while, or what?
For those wondering about the "Misty" meme (if it hasn't been explained earlier):
According to some Redditors: "We HAVE actually beaten her. This "joke" has spread is due to the fact that were trapped in Pallet Town earlier, as if we had only just started the game and we needed to take on the second Gym Leader again." (Source
) As for the perpetuation of this phrase in the chat: "The spam scripts (sic) default message is "GUYS WE NEED TO BEAT MISTY". Whenever someone first runs the script, that gets spammed into the chat. Now, why people talked about Misty is because of trolls, but it's being perpetuated because of the scripts."(Source
