Yes, otherwise they would never have gotten as far as they did now. Right now most of their success owes to the fact that Pidgeotto is way overleveled.

How are they managing to do "complex" actions like teaching HMs and using them? When I turned it on last night, they were trying to cut the bush by Lt. Surge for a really long time. I'm impressed the game has progressed this far.

Oh good. I'm guessing they'll still be in the cave 20 hours later with everyone at level 60, or something :)

That would be bad. :v: Well for Dux. I"m not sure if the whole pokemon stop listening to you applies to your own pokemon.

Nvm looked it up. It's just for pokemon you get outside of the game.

Mere minutes after discovering the new technology, it was used to send me a crude ASCII dong.


Haha, holy poo poo, switched a pokemon out at 1hp. Every now and again it almost looks like they're competent.

Edit: And then tried to rub a TM on a pokemon mid-battle about ten times, so I guess that illusion was short-lived.

Always impresses me how fairly consistent they are at running away.

Then, again... they've probably spent more time checking out the helix fossil.

edit: And loving dig again. I wonder if they'll still be in the cave when I wake up...

vvvvvvvvvv

Scary part is I think they have the TM for teleport and a Drowzee...

Well, the pace is back to regular (unlimited starts) mode, and they'll have to clear all those trainers anyway so its fun to watch.

Why getting out of the pokecenter is so tough i'm not sure.

Also this is super rad and shows precisely why this is very far from a "random" input thing, even with all the noise.

I think it's just that half the people try to progress are trying to deposit the Ratatta with Dig, and the other half is trying to just run through the cave.

I'm actually really impressed that they caught Pokemon at all. Especially the Drowzee. Or were able to trade for a FarFetch'd.

They had it, but I think they tossed it away about a dozen hours back by now. Maybe a little less, but yeah they never accidentally used it, mercifully.

It's still in the pack. It shows up whenever they consult the Helix Fossil in battle.

I set up a Gold random bot with no direction bias, and it's trapped in New Bark Town. The accidental up and right bias in the random Red run is a stroke of genius that let it get as far as it has.

We seriously need to level up Drowzee some.

Hell, even the Rattatas could pull their weight once they learn Hyper Fang.

Probably but we are rapidly approaching the point where the over-leveled gets more over-leveled and the under-leveled just explode.

Granted considering how messed up Charmeleon is... I doubt those Rattata's will learn Hyper Fang. Probably gets cancelled learning the move.

I'm still amazed they managed to use the PC and deposit a pokemon at one point.

Has the Rattata with Bubblebeam ever even used it? :v:

Small typo in one of the responses, unless I'm misunderstanding.

"Earlier on the IRC bot died while I was sleeping, so the game was accepting input for a number of hours, the stream wasn’t very popular at this point, I made changes so that it wouldn’t happen again and that seems to have worked."

Good interview for the length.

Cheers! Fixed that one up.
