Headscratchers / Twitch Plays Pokémon Red Anniversary

• Why does the chat want to release Charmander so much? If that happens, they will be stuck with a lvl 6 Kakuna, that cant attack? Why do they even like the Kakuna so much? And why do they always give up on keeping a fire starter?
  • That I can tell you in one word.
    • The running theme of the fire type starter being released is one reason; in the original run Charmeleon was released.
• It's worth headscratching about how the whole chat got worked up into a frenzy.... over a Kakuna... that only knew Harden.
  • About 75% of people looking to "get Kakuna" were really trolls who were using it as an excuse to use the PC and thus release everything. The other 25% just felt like Kakuna was the mascot of Anniversary Red and so didn't deserve to be in the PC.
• How is it taking so long for them to simply find the exit to the rock tunnel?
  • By nature TPP has problems finding 1-tile entrances/exits, now they're trying to guess where they are and where it is in the dark too.
• How is it every time the battle tent is fixed it somehow still ends up broken?
• How did AIIIAAB receive money after defeating Dream Red if it was just a dream? Similarly, how did his Pokemon receive EXP?
• Isn't the plan mentioned on the Epic Fail page (repeatedly winning against the Elite Four, then losing to Blue) a bit counter-productive? You lose half of your money when you lose a battle. You can actually lose money if you do that enough times (or just by losing once when you have enough money).
