''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' (''TPP'') is a series of social experiments in which commands representing buttons on an original Game Boy (up, down, left, right, A, B, start, and select) are entered into a chat on Website/{{Twitch}}, and then translated into a game of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' via an IRC bot. In short, [[HilarityEnsues hundreds of people are fighting over a controller]]. Throughout its life, ''Twitch Plays Pokémon'' has spawned hilarious characters, memorable moments, and even a few religions.
''Twitch Plays Pokémon Charity Dual Red & Blue'' is an event hosted on the ''Twitch Plays Pokémon'' channel as part of the "[[https://catchamillion.com/ Catch a Million]]" charity event run by the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which rallied various Pokémon streamers in an effort to catch a total of one million Pokémon over the course of a week with the goal of raising money to fund childhood cancer research. To add a competitive incentive to the event, each streamer was associated with one of two teams, respectively led by streamers Bruce Greene and Kara Corvus.
''Charity Dual Red & Blue'' itself doubled as the sixtieth main run of ''TPP'', and featured the very same romhack used during ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonDualRedAndBlue'', with the ''Red'' side labeled as "Team Greene", and the ''Blue'' side as "Team Corvus". Aside from some minor balance adjustments, the game remained largely the same as it was the last time it was played, and was accompanied by a minimal overlay that aimed to strip down any non-essential information [[JumpingOnPoint that might confuse newcomers]]. It began on April 24th, 2022, along with the "Catch a Million" event itself, following a "test" intermission during which ''Dual Blue'' was actually beaten a first time.
The run ended on April 30th, 2022 with both [=BBBBBa=] on the ''Blue'' side and ᴾₖᴾₖᴾₖᴾₖᴾₖ on the ''Red'' side managing to defeat the Pokémon League and [[OneHundredPercentCompletion complete the Pokédex]] ; following this, the stream broadcasted a dual revisit of ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonTradingCardGame'' for the remainder of the "Catch a Million" event. Overall, ''TPP'' caught a total of 310 Pokémon for the event (147 on the ''Red'' side and 163 on the ''Blue'' side), and managed to raise a total of $559.90 over the course of the week.

!! ''Twitch Plays Pokémon Charity Dual Red & Blue'' contains examples of:
* ADogNamedCat: The second Hall of Fame team for ''Red'' featured a Pidgeotto named "PIG".
* AppealToNovelty: Several of the Pokémon used during this run were chosen purely because they had never been entered in the Hall of Fame by ''TPP'' before, namely Kangaskhan, Seaking and Jynx on the ''Blue'' side, and Tangela and Porygon on the ''Red'' side.
* TheArtifact: Even though the run took place in 2022, the Diploma still states "TPP 2018", aka the year in which the original ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonDualRedAndBlue Dual Red & Blue]]'' were played.
* AscendedMeme:
** The screenshot used to advertise the run on the charity's website shows the ''Red'' side being trapped by Burglar Simon[[note]]A Trainer in the Cinnabar Mansion which, when talked to at the wrong time, will end up blocking the player in a two-tile space, with the only mean of escape being to faint from wild encounters (which can often take entire hours)[[/note]], an infamously frequent occurrence during Generation I runs.
** The Mewtwo caught on the ''Blue'' side was named "MEWFOUR", as a [[InvokedTrope deliberate reference]] to the often fabled [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Fake_Pokémon#Mewthree Mewthree]].
* TheBusCameBack: DUX the Farfetch'd spent the major part of the run in the ''Red'' team, but was deposited before the Elite 4 and Champion were defeated, its spot being taken by BAAKA the Porygon. Later on, it was withdrawn once more while level grinding weaker Pokémon to complete the Pokédex, and ended up entering the Hall of Fame for good during one of said grinding sessions.
* FriendshipMoment: One notable gesture of kindness occurred when the ''Red'' side found itself genuinely struggling to get past the Rival Battle on the SS Anne. Players initially treated the dual run as a genuine race, which caused ''Blue'' to take a significant lead, which in turn caused the rival team in ''Red'' to become much more difficult as it matched the way overleveled ''Blue'' team. Instead of keeping their lead, ''Blue'' players instead not only decided to wait for ''Red'' to catch up, but even taught Cut to a Sandshrew so they could trade it to ''Red'' players, allowing them to bypass the rival fight altogether.
* GoodBadBugs: [[invoked]] The ''Red'' side's victory against the Pokémon Champion was due largely in part to a glitch that caused [=BBBBBa=] to use her current team, which consisted of only five Pokémon among which the unevolved Omanyte and Dratini as well as an Exeggutor with only two moves, instead of her much, ''much'' stronger Champion team, turning her into a complete AntiClimaxBoss.
** This happened again when ''Red'' rematched the Pokémon League; while [=BBBBBa=] did not use her current team of three underleveled Pokémon that time around, the team she ended up with was still way less threatening than her Champion Team, as it included three unevolved Pokémon (Dratini, Psyduck and Doduo), and three throwaway Pokémon originally traded from ''Red'' with largely ineffective movesets (Jynx, Seaking, and Fearow). This led to the ''Red'' team's Blastoise easily sweeping through the entire fight by itself, and ''Red'' entering multiple unevolved Pokémon that they initially only meant to level grind into the Hall of Fame.
* HonorBeforeReason: The Red Team ''insisted'' on earning all 9999 Coins necessary to purchase Porygon from the Celadon Game Coner, even despite being perfectly aware that the much less tedious and time-consuming path of action would have been to buy it for 6500 Coins on the ''Blue'' side and trade it over.
* MythologyGag: Deliberately {{invoked}} with two Sandslash caught in ''Red'' that were named "PAPYRUS" and "GASTER" respectively as a ShoutOut to ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', referencing another Sandslash named "SANS" that was used during the ''Wooper 2: Electric Boogaloo'' intermission of Christmas 2021.
* {{Pilot}}: This run was preceded by both the ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonDualSanquiRedAndBlue Sanqui Red & Blue]]'' intermission on the week-end before it and the ''Charity Dual Red & Blue Preview'' intermission during the three days leading to its beginning, which were both intended to test the dual inputting system and new minimalistic overlay in order to iron out any potential issues in advance.
* PutOnABus: DUX the Farfetch'd stayed on the ''Red'' team for the majority of the run, but was ultimately deposited before defeating the Elite 4 and Champion, with BAAKA the Porygon taking its place in the Hall of Fame instead. It later [[TheBusCameBack returned to the team]] and was entered into the Hall of Fame during one of the Pokémon League rematches.
