Funny / Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Crystal

• The mere fact that the Host of this run was named "KKKB", which is pretty much he worst possible name the chat has ever given to a playable character, is so unintentionally tasteless that it pretty much wraps around to being funny.

• With the quasi-entirety of the game's dialogue constituting of Markhov chains built from messages posted in the chat, and considering the resulting propensity of viewers to spam random copypastas all over said chat, it was pretty much a given that any bit of dialogue would bring its share of funny nonsense. Yet, some instances stand out:
  • When KKKB and Cyan entered the room containing the Electrode-powered machine in the Rocket Hideout, Cyan's reaction was simply "ffs". Made doubly funny by the fact that lore usually depicts her as The Cutie.
  • The second battle against nqpppnl had some especially notable "chatty" dialogue, first directly acknowledging his in-lore name with the pre-battle line "napoleon?", then declaring "What is shitty" upon being defeated, and finally giving another unintentional nod to the Platinum lore by stating "i am in PBR" when handing over the Soul Badge.
  • Before one of the battles against the Battle Tent PC, it stated "Yeah, I can delete the run"◊.
  • KKKB's mother at one point called her to inform her that she got softlocked◊.
  • KAY's opening line when challenging KKKB was simply "pizza"; and fittingly enough, he then declared "I'm hungry" after being defeated.
  • KKKB spent a certain amount of time checking out the Unown Doll in her room, which at one point informed her that "it has killed us"◊.
• After obtaining the Diploma for completing the Pokédex, the chat tried to figure out where to go in order to face the final boss of the run. Talking to the Game Freak employee who gave them the Diploma prompted the single line of dialogue "NOW", causing a slew of people in the chat to respond with "NOW WHAT?".

• Due to the run starting while the game was still far from finalized, the devs simply placed a Snorlax in the middle of any path leading to a currently unfinished area, one of the sillier examples being one that blocked the access to the harbor in Olivine City. Talking to one prompted a bit of dialogue about how it was "tieing its shoes", leading to their Fan Nickname of "Shoelaxes".
  • The aforementioned Snorlax from olivine City was later moved to the docks themselves rather than on the stairs to access them. The chat actually managed to perform a bit of Sequence Breaking thanks to this, surfing around the Snorlax to talk to the NPC behind it, which then triggered the walk cycle to get on the boat which made KKKB pass through the Snorlax, successfully embarking on the boat to Kanto before the developers intervened and pulled her back.
  • Another of the Snorlax was positioned in a way that allowed KKKB to bike on the left side of its face◊.
  • The door of the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island and of the Trainer House in Viridian City were not blocked by a Snorlax, but simply by an old man. The reason why he blocked the entrance? According to his dialogue, there was "a Snorlax shoe convention" happening inside.

• * VVVVVV the Turtwig was obtained from the given by the Daycare Man, and as such knew the move Dizzy Punch. Despite lacking actual arms.
  • VVVVVV was later deposited into the Daycare itself. When returning there afterwards, the Voices realized that it had somehow turned into a glitchy, pixelated square. They decided to go talk to it, causing its cry to play, which now consisted of several long seconds of silence followed by a few broken-sounding low-pitched notes, and caused the music to become completely distorted afterwards. During said cry, the line that showed up on screen was "sorry, VVVVVV".
    • The reaction of the Voices? Immediately retrieve VVVVVV with the intent of sending it into battle, which caused the game to freeze instantly, to the surprise of no one and the dismay of the staff:

• With Trainer names being randomized into the names of viewers, one of them eventually took the name of "tppsimulator", a bot that regularly posts Markhov-chained messages in the chat. During the battle, the Trainer managed to take out three of KKKB's Poékmon... and the bot posted a single TriHard emote in the chat.

• LARRY turned out to be using two Phancero as stand-ins for the two hybrid glitch Pokémon from his original team. Both were only Lv.4, and thus should have gone down in a single hit... except KKKB's only still-standing Pokémon by the time he sent out one was a Lv.50 Lopunny that only knew Normal, Ground, and Fighting-type attacks, all of which are ineffective against the Ghost/Flying Phancero, leading to Lopunny actually losing the battle.

• In the original game, the Leader of the Fighting-type Gym of Cinawood City demonstrates his strength by lifting and throwing a large boulder. In Chatty Crystal, the animation is kept intact, but instead of the rugged and muscle-bound Chuck, the Leader is the young and scrawny 9'l from Twitch Plays Pokémon Sun, causing a lot of amusement in the chat. Fanart was made◊ of the incident.

• When facing Entei, XXHI used Surf, a powerful super-effective move, and landed a Critical Hit, emptying its entire health bar in a single hit and preventing its capture. This did nothing to help its Memetic Loser status.

• Out of all the opponents fought during the run, the oddest by far was without a doubt GMMTMT, the eponymous Wooper from the intermission game The Wooper Who Saved Christmas, literally a Wooper with its very own team of six Pokémon. Said team was for the most part horribly underleveled, with the notable exception of a Lv. 100 Quagsire that, true to text, was named "Wooper"^note At one point of the original game, Wooper mega-evolved into "Mega-Quagsire", which looks just like a regular Quagsire. Yes, this is not even remotely close to how Mega-Evolution works..
  • After an easy victory against GMMTMT, who just flew away, KKKB was free to pick up all of the numerous items scattered around it: most of them were Normal Boxes, which are rare items normally obtained from Pokémon Stadium 2 and serve literally no purpose once one of them has been opened (opening one awards the player with the Silver Trophy decoration, which can only be obtained once), and the last one was the GS Ball. One of the rarest and most iconic items in the game, used to summon a Mythical Pokémon, was just hidden among a stack of boxes and guarded by a goofy Wooper.

• During the 3rd attempt against the Champion and with Chatot as the only Pokémon left standing, the Jebaited emote was picked by Chatter despite a measly 2% probability, causing it to turn into Splash.
  • Right after being defeated, KKKB received a phone call that taunted her by repeating the phrase "WE LOST CATJAM" on a loop for a solid thirty seconds.

• The Voices eventually realized that Battle Tent PC, which allowed KKKB to battle against her own team, could be exploited to create infinite duplicates of unique items, by giving them to one of KKKB's Pokémon to hold then stealing it from the PC's team using the move Thief. They used this exploit to create duplicates of the Leftovers and Focus Band, and especially of the Master Ball, basically granting them an infinite supply of them to catch Legendary Pokémon with.
  • On one attempt however, Skuntank successfully stole a duplicate Master Ball from the PC's team, only for the PC's own Chatot to use a Chatter attack that itself turned into Thief, stealing it back, and causing KKKB to walk out of that battle with no extra Master Ball.

• After defeating the 100 Trainers of the Silph Co. building, which took no less than 12 hours to accomplish, players were allowed to pick between three rewards: an encounter with either Raikou or Suicune, or an item sitting on the table. They went for the item, which turned out to be a set of 5 Master Balls; while this would be a great reward under normal circumstances, they already had access to a virtually unlimited supply of Master Balls thanks to an aforementioned Loophole Abuse in Celadon's Battle Tent, rendering the gift and all the time spent trying to obtain it completely moot.

• Going back inside the Silver Cave ruins after her first defeat against AIIIAAB, KKKB found herself stuck due to the event objects not resetting properly, resulting in AIIIAAB standing in his initial spawning position (which is supposed to be off-screen when he enters the screen) and therefore blocking the path forward.
  Live updater: excuse us do you mind, uh... pardon me...

• After accidentally defeating Phancero on their first attempt to catch it, then being defeated by it on their second attempt, the Voices went for a third attempt, with the amount of spam still high enough to make the simple action of throwing a Master Ball into an absolute nightmare. Then they accidentally caught it at full health in a mere Great Ball.
  PyroFarukon: : WHO NEEDS MASTER BALL ANYWAY

• The first attempt at catching Ho-Oh was cut short due to it knowing Whirlwind, which immediately ended the battle against it.

• KKKB made an attempt at Buena's Password after listening to the radio and learning that the password of the day was "?????". Buena then asked her to pick the right password between a list of "?????", "?????", and "?????". Unsurprisingly, she got the answer wrong.

• The final battle was against MARINA, the Host of Metronome Sapphire. The twist, however, is that while her entire team was expectedly only able to use the move Metronome, for this battle only, so was KKKB's team. The entire battle was pretty much left in the hands of RNG as both sides could only keep throwing random attacks at each other hoping for the best. Some highlights included:
  • KKKB's Ludicolo used Taunt on MARINA's Mew, a move that prevents the target from using status moves. Metronome is considered a status move (likely because it can call upon both physical and special move, and thus not be classified as either), meaning Mew was unable to use it anymore; since it was its only move, it was thus reduced to using Struggle.
  • Before being taken down, KENYA used Metronome one last time... and the result was Splash.
  • PPPPss used Hone Claws, which raised its Attack and Accuracy, then Bluk Up, which raised it Attack and Defense, then finally Haze, which nullified all of its stat increases.
  • MARINA's Gengar used Curse, sacrificing half of its HP to put a curse on its opponent. Because it had less than half of its HP remaining, it fainted.
  • MARINA last Pokémon was a Groudon, of which the first Metronome attack triggered Transform and made it turn into Skuntank. Since both Pokémon only had access to Metronome anyway, there was no moveset or typing advantage to be gained from this: all it amounted to was drastically lower its stats (which are also copied by Transform), and make it look very similar to a Shiny Skuntank (as it retained Groudon's palette).
