So there already are followers of this idea Twitch playes Pokemon Blue where they've been stuck at the tree near LT Surge for the past 2 hours, and Twitch plays Pokemon Crystal where the superiority of Gen 2 design really shines. Both have under a 1000 viewers and it's still a nightmare to do anything so that's something :v:

It's not really about the numbers. It's about the percentage of people. Even with 50 people, you could have 10 trolling, 25 trying to make progress, and 15 are trying to make progress, but in a different way than the 25, so it's sort of counterproductive.


Crystal would be nice though, it'd be great to see some color for once. (took a look at the crystal one, and it's got less than 200 people and its moving fairly slow)

Not killing, extending. It's doing us all a favor by making this last so much longer. If we run from 90% of battles it just means we need 10 time as many encounters :)

Hah, this Pokemon Blue one has everyone trying to access the menu to cut down the tree outside Surge's gym but because of the delay there are tonnes of Start commands coming through so the menu just opens and closes.

That Crystal one is insanely slow input-wise. Feels like one command every 2 seconds, and when you just change where you're facing with one press, ugggh.

It's not just running that's screwing their EXP gain, it's attacking for a few turns, almost killing the pokemon, and THEN running away. That's the worst.

As far as I know none of the current team can learn Surf so they're going to have to use the PC at some point anyway (assuming they make it through the Safari Zone).

I think they're just trying to release the rattata with dig so they don't keep randomly leaving the rock tunnel.

It looks like they're trying to box the dig Rattata? I mean, given they've used Dig to 'escape' the cave partway through at least, what, six times now? The fighting over this is intense and will probably kill the run when they manage to release everything BUT that Rattata.

To be fair, it held them hostage for like two hours.

Apparently to get people to agree to fix the US healthcare system we just need to force everyone to play Sim Hospital with shared inputs.

The RNGPlaysPokemon is also progressing at a much faster rate than the TwitchPlays one, so that would seem to indicate that either the trolls far outnumber people trying to progress, or the attempt to progress is actually making things worse, or both.

(It's both.)
The twitchplayspokemon stream actually progressed extremely quickly (well, relatively) up until the point where they had to start cutting stuff.

I was so certain they'd box something they actually need and have to fish it back out, or worse just release it. At least that Rattata's still in storage in case we need to call upon the power of its Dig and Thunderbohahahanope it's never coming back out.

I tuned at just the right time to contribute to the war for depositing the dig ratatta. I'm amazed that not only did they manage to deposit a pokemon at all, but they got the right one on the first try somehow.

Makes for baller guitar covers, though. As it stands, if more than twenty-thousand people have been sitting in on the last twenty hours, between the grueling battles against cut, ledges, and dig, I don't think there's anything that can stop them from hanging on at this point like a zombie horde of video game-playing robots endlessly fighting over one controller.

Clutch = Barely making it.

The Helix Fossil is an item that you give to someone later in the game and they turn it back into a living pokemon.

E: The Hexil Fossil gives us Kabuto Omanyte.
