Twitch plays Pokemon

Just a sampler of the insanity.

This is pretty amazing! I know what I'm doing when I'm done playing DDR tonight

Is there someone playing the game or is everyone in the chat controlling the character?

Everyone in the chat is controlling the character.

It's complete chaos.

This is amazing.
Nothing more, nothing less.

And....it died for now.
Back up.

Twitch Plays "Twitch Plays Pokémon" Tetris

Ugh...

Of course it'd be someone like him to ride the coattails of that...

They finally made it past Erika. Now if we can get past another tree.

Passed the trees...

Celadon City music. Too much. ;.;

This elevator...

I'm not sure what they're doing now. They wasted money on a firestone and 2 Pokedolls.

Well, they put up a dedicated server...so all commands appear faster than before.
It's surreal.

The journey thus far:

---

I'm hearing they deep-sixed Charmeleon...



Oh my god...

Somebody should explain the Eevee False Prophet/liar joke because I missed it.

This is both hilarious and incredibly frustrating to watch.

All hail the Helix Fossil.
Consult the SS Ticket.

My favorite ones.

The twitch community was split between getting Eevee for a Vaporeon or going for a Lapras instead since they will be needing Surf later on.

Since it was impossible to navigate through the PC to deposit a pokemon, it was safer to obtain the Lapras since they had an open slot. On the other hand, while Eevee sounds like a safe bet, it means that they also have to gamble in selecting a Water Stone from the shop. They wound up getting a Fire Stone. It also doesn't help that Vaporeon would be dead weight until level 31 when it learns water gun.

Found better explanation

This is all if they can get pass Team Rocket HQ.

You know what...

I would not be surprised if by some miracle, twitch actually beats the Elite Four and Gary to beat the game.

I also think that due to just the amount of content people are creating out of this event, I have a feeling twitch is going to become not just a place to view online matches/gamers play games, but it will turn in itself as a place to play games with over 50 or 100 thousand people.

And I am calling it now, some game developer is going to create an online 'single-player' game that pretty much mimicks what is happening here, and soon enough others will follow, and we pretty much get this year's sort of 'breakthrough' gaming phenomenon.

Looking forward to it :V
