''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' (''TPP'') is a series of social experiments in which commands representing buttons on an original Nintendo Switch (up, down, left, right, A, B, X, Y, L, R, ZL, ZR, +, -, L-stick, and R-stick) and touchscreen coordinates 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.

''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' (''TPP'') is a series of social experiments in which commands representing buttons on an original Nintendo Switch (up, down, left, right, A, B, X, Y, L, R, ZL, ZR, +, -, L-stick, and R-stick) and touchscreen coordinates 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 Sword'' is the seventh and final run of Season 6, which began on November 23rd, 2019, a week after the release of ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'', and concluded on December 1st, 2019. This marked the first run to feature a UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch game; as it used a physical unmodified console, data couldn't be read directly from the game, leading to certain features of the stream such as the party display and chat badges being handled through automatic screenshots and manual distribution respectively. It also introduced two new inputs, "STICK" and "SPIN", respectively used to press down and spin around the joysticks, and that the chat quickly learned to use and abuse.
The Host for this run is a girl named [[TheUnpronounceable :::?89977re]] ("Rey"), notable for her constant twirling and whistling, along with her apparent fondness for unusually [[TechnicolorEyes colored]] and/or [[ExoticEyeDesigns shaped]] lenses; those quirks (difficulty to move around, apparent reliance on sounds, unusual and/or concealed eye color) led to the popular interpretation that she is blind. She defeated Leon in the record time of 4 days and 16 hours, making this the fastest main run so far to reach the Hall of Fame.[[note]]The previous record holder was ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonX'' with a little under 5 days and 5 hours. The record holder for reaching the credits, however, is still ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRandomizedColosseum'', which did so in 4 days and 6 hours.[[/note]]

!!''Twitch Plays Pokémon Sword'' features examples of:
* BlindAndTheBeast: Eternatus might be an eldritch horror for most people- but for Rey it's a team mascot, a lucky charm and a good boy.
* CrowdChant: The chat becomes [[https://i.redd.it/w7s1ha6xu8141.png filled with chanting]] as soon as it happens in-game.
--> ♫ └༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┐♫ ooooh oh oh oh! oooh oh ooooh oh oh! ♫ └༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┐♫
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Near the end of Day 4, [=:::?89977re=] traded her rainbow-colored lenses for light-blue ones with [[https://i.imgur.com/hRO4jS0.png star-shaped pupils]].
* LOL69: {{Subverted|Trope}}; the chat ''tried'' to pick 69 as their Jersey Number, but [[TooManyCooksSpoilTheSoup this being TPP]], they picked 965 instead.
** GoroawaseNumber: 965 may be interpreted as "黒衣" (kokui), or "black clothes".
* OneLetterName: An early-game Rookidee that eventually evolved into Corviknight was simply named "z".
* OneSteveLimit: {{Averted|Trope}} thanks to the keyboard used for nicknaming being positioned to "1" by default. As a result, the name "1" was notably given to the Hall of Fame team's Hatterene, an Obstagoon from the first days of the run, and a Bewear from its final moments. The character that was initially picked was also named "1", although the console was reset due to [[ObviousRulePatch a rule stating that the game had to be played in English]], meaning he was [[RetGone ultimately not chosen]].
* TechnicolorEyes: A few hours into the run, [=:::?89977re=] put on [[https://i.imgur.com/uLCmARC.png rainbow-colored lenses]]. They quickly became a trademark trait of hers, even after she switched them for light blue ones with star-shaped pupils near the end of Day 4.
* TheUnpronounceable: [=:::?89977re=] is definitely up there with [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonOmegaRuby !12rtyhaszs]], [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonAlphaSapphire !!!0999 qq]] and [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonWaningMoon d76o6yttr??]] as one of the most undecipherable names ever used on ''TPP''.
* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: Numerous game crashes occurred during the run, notably due to connectivity troubles, causing [[https://i.imgur.com/PKzsuIf.png this screen]] to show up while the stream operator rebooted the game and/or attempted to fix the issues, along with some [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail appropriately-themed music]].
* YouAreNumberSix: This occurred more often than usual, due to the game using the standard Nintendo Switch keyboard, which is positioned on the "1" key by default. This effectively made "1" what "A" was to previous runs.
** A white-skinned male character named "1" was almost picked as the Host for the run, but this was reverted due to the language [[ObviousRulePatch having been changed to Spanish before picking him]]. He is usually referred to as "Uno" as a result.
** The team used when reaching the credits for the first time included a Mew named "1111" and a Hatterene named "1". "1" was also the name of an Obstagoon that was used during the first days of the run, before being replaced by another unnamed Obstagoon, along with the name of a Bewear that was part of the team when the run ended.
