''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' (''TPP'') is a series of social experiments in which commands representing buttons on an original Game Boy Advance (up, down, left, right, A, B, L, R, 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 [=TriHard=] Emerald'' is the fifth run of Season 6, which began on August 10th, 2019 and ended on August 20th, 2019. It features an original hack of ''VideoGame/PokemonEmerald'' created by the development team member [=Tustin2121=], which is notably the first source hack of ''Emerald'' to see the light of day. It features an ex-member of Team Skull as its main character, along with several changes made to the in-game dialogue that either alter the story or make reference to [[Memes/TwitchPlaysPokemon TPP memes]]. Most importantly however, it implements special rules inspired by those of the popular [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nuzlocke_Challenge#Rules Nuzlocke Challenge]]:
# The Pokémon Storage System is inaccessible; Pokémon are immediately sent to it after fainting.
# Poké Balls are available for free, but cannot be used if the party is full.
# The save option has been removed; the game instead saves automatically each time a Pokémon Center is visited.
# In the event of a white out, the game automatically resets and loads the latest save.
The Host for this run is an ex-member of Team Skull named F48 ("Fate") who recently moved to Hoenn with her divorced father, and, just like [[HistoryRepeats every Host from Hoenn before her]], chose Torchic as her starter. Later in her journey, and in spite of the recommendations of her father, she ended up joining [[VillainProtagonist Team Aqua]] instead, helping them in their efforts to awaken Kyogre. As a result, she regularly ends up butting heads with her two rivals, the HeroAntagonist Logan, and her concerned neighbour Brendan.

!!''Twitch Plays [=TriHard=] Emerald'' contains examples of:
* AscendedGlitch: The [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_glitches_in_Generation_III#Sootopolis_Gym_wall_oversight wall tile]] above the ladder of Sootopolis Gym can still be accessed in this hack, and now [[https://clips.twitch.tv/BoredCaringPlumageNononoCat leads to a secret path]] with a hidden item at the end.
* AscendedMeme:
** Entei is regarded as MemeticLoser due to its abysmal performances in ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonArena'', to the point where one of the custom emotes of the stream is an Entei variant of the "[=TriHard=]" emote. As a reference to this, Entei appears on the title screen of ''[=TriHard=] Emerald'' instead of Rayquaza.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FbTEACre-I Born to Lose]]", a song that the stream operators like to play whenever players are doing particularly badly, has been remixed as a Pokémon Centre theme, [[TakeThatAudience which plays after the game resets due to a white out]].
** The Select button text box makes a reference to the Select Sect, a term used by the chat to describe people who keep pressing Select to slow down the gameplay.
---> '''Select textbox:''' I mean... I guess its plausable... Like, Team Magma is a conspiracy to expand the land... And Team Aqua... well... I'm sure you know. So I guess a conspiracy to say SELECT as often as possible... It's '''stupid''' but it's not wholly impossible... Alright, you "SELECT SECT"... I'll play along... As if I have a choice, what with you being in my head and all...
** The PC in Ever Grande City is blocked by an Azumarill, who [[https://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon/clip/GrotesqueAmusedHawkPMSTwin smacks F48 away]] if she tries to approach it. Azumarill is also notorious for being the favorite Pokémon and avatar of m4_used_rollout, the [[CreatorCameo stream operator]], who has a habit of trying to keep players as far away from the PC has possible.
* BackFromTheDead: Despite fainting during the battle against Juan, [=Wu””2=] the Wailord was healed when saving at the Pokémon Center rather than being [[FinalDeathMode permanently killed]]. The reason for this is that Juan's dialogue is so long that it actually ''overflows'' the dialogue buffer, which caused the battle to become a Recorded Battle, which can be exited with a single B press. In the unmodified version of ''VideoGame/PokemonEmerald'', this overflow occurred into unused space, so nothing happens. But the hack removed that unused space and used it for permadeath functionality. [[invoked]]
* BlatantLies: When asked by the Devon employee if she had seen any Shroomish around, F48 answered that she hadn't... even though she had just caught one for her team.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: The text box that appears when pressing the Select button actually evolves depending on how many times it's been pressed. After a few hundred presses, it started addressing the chat *directly*.
--> '''Select textbox:''' Hey.
--> '''Select textbox:''' Hey chat.
--> '''Select textbox:''' Guess what.
--> '''Select textbox:''' You pressed SELECT over 400 times now.
--> '''Select textbox:''' That's right, I've been counting.
--> '''Select textbox:''' What is wrong with you?
* DarkerAndEdgier: Between the criminal protagonist with a rough past, the divorce of the protagonist's parents, the possibility of permanent death, and ruder behavior from [=NPCs=], ''[=TriHard=] Emerald'' has an atmosphere that is ever so slightly less friendly than a traditional ''Pokémon'' game.
* ExactWords: During one of the many disputes that occurred over using the PC in [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonXG the previous run]], one of the devs declared that they'd settle the matter by disabling the PC for the next run. Come ''[=TriHard=] Emerald'', and this actually turned out ''not'' to be a joke: the PC in this run acts as a "[[KilledOffForReal graveyard]]" in which fainted Pokémon are automatically deposited and cannot be retrieved from.
--> '''m4_used_rollout:''' THERE IS NO PC BWAAA HA HA HA HA HA
--> '''m4_used_rollout:''' you thought I was kidding
* HeelFaceTurn: After realizing how insane Team Aqua's plans actually were, and how uncontrollable the Legendary Pokémon turned out to be, Jessica and Bailey decided to quit Team Aqua for good, and F48 followed suit.
* HistoryRepeats
** After ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonEmerald Emerald]]'', ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonOmegaRuby Omega Ruby]]'', ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonAlphaSapphire Alpha Sapphire]]'', and ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonThetaEmeraldEX Theta Emerald EX]]'', the Voices ''still'' seem unable to pick any other starter than Torchic for a run taking place in Hoenn. '''{{Averted|Trope}}''' however in that it is, somewhat ironically for a game featuring a {{Permadeath}} mechanic, the first one to make it into the Hall of Fame.
** In ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonThetaEmeraldEX Theta Emerald EX]]'', the first loss ACCPPQ faced was against a wild Wingull. The first and second defeat F48 suffered were also against a wild Wingull.
* HopelessBossFight: Interrupting the fight between Kyogre and Groudon in Sootopolis City triggers a double battle against both of them, in which they are revealed to each be at ''level 120''.
* ImportantHairAccessory: At the start of the game, F48 is wearing a Team Skull bandana; she later trades it for a Team Aqua bandana after joining the latter. After her HeelFaceTurn, she throws the bandana on the ground and spends the rest of the game bare-headed.
* KilledOffForReal: If the game is saved after a Pokémon has fainted, that Pokémon is [[{{Permadeath}} gone forever]]. By the end of the run, 55 Pokémon had fallen in battle, including valued team members such as Wingull, Swellow, Swalot, Grayhena, or Crawdaunt. Most notable was the loss of Wailord, Sharpedo and Aggron, which were intended to be part of the final team, but were killed permanently while [[LevelGrinding grinding]] for the Elite 4.
* KleptomaniacHero: Justified. F48 is an ex-member of Team Skull, so common theft is a habit of hers. As such, the game allows her to enter unlocked hotel rooms to steal people's belongings while they're sleeping, or even to shoplift items directly from the shelves of Poké Marts.
* MissingMom: F48's parents went through a nasty divorce, and when they split, F48 and her dad moved to Hoenn while her mom remained in Alola.
* MythologyGag:
** One Trainer in Petalburg Woods is named Scout James, referencing the infamous Lorekeeper James from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonAlphaSapphire''.
** Brawly's dialogue makes a reference to the Helix Fossil; this dialogue is actually lifted straight from the French version of ''VideoGame/PokemonOmegaRubyAndAlphaSapphire'', in which he made the same reference.
---> '''Brawly:''' I've been churned in the rough waves of these parts, and I've grown tough in the pitch-black cave! Then I discovered the secret of true power by staring at a Helix Fossil for days and days.
** Interacting with the PC at the Weather Institute indicates that someone seems to have tried to pull out the power supply, referencing the "[[TranslationTrainWreck PULL THE POWER SUPPLY OUT!]]" text that appeared when using a PC in ''VideoGame/PokemonVietnameseCrystal''.
** [[VideoGame/PokemonCrystal Youngster Joey]] can be found hanging around Ever Grande City, with a high-level Raticate on his team.
* RepetitiveAudioGlitch: A glitch whereby Thunderbolt's attack audio became stuck on a loop happened twice during the run. The second time occured during the battle against Champion Wallace, which the chat interpreted as the audience applauding them; the sound then persisted during ''the entirety of the ending cutscene and credits''.
* RetGone: Any Pokémon caught between the last checkpoint and a white out will be permanently lost, which has happened a fair amount of times in the course of the run.
* SaveScumming: A first for TPP, ''[=TriHard=] Emerald'' allows the player to return to their last save after [[TotalPartyKill fainting the entire team]]. As a result, the chat often [[ViolationOfCommonSense intentionally fainted their entire team]] to save one or two Pokémon that died that they wanted back. Comparisons to [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Bites the Dust]] have been drawn.
* SpiritualSuccessor: Meta example. At the end of the previous run, the live updater was shut down due to lack of support with [=UpdaterNeeded's=][[note]]The bot used to cover updates when humans were unavailable[[/note]] maintainer being unwilling to continue maintenance. A little over a day into the run, the bot [=StreamFeed=] was created as a replacement, being put into official service at 7 days and 20 hours.
* TakeThatAudience:
** Upon whiting out, the overlay [=DexNav=], which usually shows the wild Pokémon in the area, displays mocking captions such as "BOOOOOOOOO" or "SO SAD".
** After resetting due to a white out, the Pokémon Centre theme is replaced with a remix of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FbTEACre-I Born to Lose]]".
* VillainProtagonist: F48 is an ex-member of [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Team Skull]]. She ends up joining Team Aqua later in the game. As a result, during events such as the invasion of the Weather Institute or of the Slateport Museum, her goal is not to prevent the attack, but to make it succeed. She is also not above [[KleptomaniacHero stealing from people belongings and shoplifting]], and her final interaction with Brendan seems to imply that she basically ''bullied him'' into quitting his own Pokémon journey, due to her ruthlessness and villainous actions.
* ViolationOfCommonSense: Due to the rules of the run, killing the entire team ''brings Pokémon back to life'', while healing ''kills Pokémon permanently''.
