Title: Twitch plays pokemon
Post by: John Pone on 2014 Feb 16, 11:28:47
If you haven't heard about this yet, then here you go: http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon

Basically, it is a bot set up to pokemon, so that commands put in chat (left, right, a, b etc.) control red. So you have 25,000~ people all trying to control red at the same time.

Probably one of the most infuriating and hilarious things ever.

Ive been watching it over the past couple days off and on
I still dont understand how they got as far as they have

They threw away their nugget and moonstone apparently :U

Also they managed to deposit their digging Rattata into the computer so that they won't dig out of the cave for the temth time XD

Thinking about it makes me get this really stupid smile on my face and it's weird when it happens while I'm in school.

glad to see that nothing has really been achieved since yesterday
after a while in the maze it has to be kinda boring now

If you guys want a more progressive and controlled channel, there's Piapwn's channel where it's Twitch plays Pokemon Gold.

No insanity there though XD

Twitch plays Metroid
Twitch plays Super Mario

Sure, they're harder to do on a twitch-based controller...

...but that's the point.  ovO

The problem I see with those is that you want to stay away from game overs/ timers
because one troll can just stop the entire game
that is a little harder to do with pokemon

One person had the idea of having two channels hooked up to super street fighter and they would play against eachother, and another one spectating.

That's not a bad idea at all... but special moves must be impossible to do in that case!
imagine how lucky you would have to be to do a quarter circle forward/back combination XD

It doesn't work well.
They have infinite lives and they start out with a starman each life.

I really hope this doesn't become the new 'hot' thing.

 there are going to be a ton of them now because everyone will try to cash in
but one idea I kinda laughed at was
http://www.joystiq.com/2014/02/19/twitch-plays-pokemon-plays-tetris-as-reality-folds-in-on-itself/
it takes what people are saying in the pokemon chat and applies it to a tetris game

It's the next-gen console.

The twitch-controller-thingy-ma-bob.

Prepare yourselves for the worst.
