YMMV / Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Crystal

• Crosses the Line Twice: "KKKB" is pretty much the worst and most offensive possible name that the Voices have ever named one of their Hosts, but that's precisely what makes it all the more hilarious. It helps that they have very little control over naming their characters to begin with, which makes the tasteless nature of the result more a result of misfortune than anything.

• Ending Fatigue: The last few days of the run felt like this to some players, especially those most eager to return to PBR, as the developers had to block access to Mt. Silver for several days in order to get the final challenge ready, which turned out to be an excruciatingly long Boss Rush against no less than 11 different opponents, some of them proving to be particularly difficult to defeat. Then they revealed that this was not the final battle, and threw three more conditions to end the run: completing the Pokédex (a whopping 400 species to collect, including one that required navigating through the entire Silver Cave again), completing every Trick House puzzle, and defeating the actual final boss, which was situated at the bottom of yet another puzzle-riddled dungeon.

• Fan Nickname:
  • KKKB, the playable character of this run, is generally referred to as "Kiki".
  • PPPPss, the T-shaped Unown received as a starter, is generally called "Peeps", "Piss", or even sometimes "T-Pose".
  • MY the Lopunny is either called "MyBunny", or sometimes "MySpace", as a reference to the friendship mechanic needed for it to evolve.
  • VVVVVV the Torterra is usually referred to as "V6" or "Vivi".
  • The Snorlax that temporarily block the path to yet unfinished areas and are stated in dialogue to be "tieing their shoes" are affectionately nicknamed "Shoelaxes" by viewers.

• I Knew It!: After F48 appeared as a member of Team Rocket, viewers quickly figured out that AAAAAAA and ACCC would as well, since they were also canonically ex-members of a villainous team.

• Memetic Mutation:
  • Shoelaxes^Explanation A Fan Nickname given to the Snorlax placed by developers in order to temporarily block off areas that are still ongoing development by the time players reach it, as the dialogue indicates that they are "tieing their shoes" and won't budge until they're done.
  • #PizzaTime^Explanation KAY's opening line when challenging KKKB was simply "pizza", which prompted this hashtag to briefly trend in response.
    • #KayIsHungry^Explanation After the battle, KAY stated "I'm hungry", causing this second hashtag to follow the first one.

• Nightmare Fuel: On Day 3, VVVVVV, the Turtwig that was left in the Daycare, was revealed to have been turned into a blocky mess of pixels with an overly-long cry constituting of mostly silence followed by a few garbled-sounding notes, which caused all of the game's music to distort after being heard.

• Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer: The chat spent some time fumbling around before getting to the final battle, as they absolutely wanted to print their newly received Diploma, then absolutely wanted to put up their newly-received Gold Trophy in KKKB's room, the latter being a more daunting task than it should have been due to the peak in active viewers.

• Spiritual Sequel: Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Crystal is pretty much a follow-up to Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Yellow, using the same "chatty" system that replaces all dialogue with Markov chains composed of chat messages, having a starter whose trademark attack has its effect influenced by emotes, and even featuring Chatot as a central character, with the one obtainable in-game having the same abilities as the Chatty Yellow stater.

• Unexpected Character:
  • Given that Chatot was the starter of Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Yellow, that it was the focus of the teaser poster for the run, and that the game itself both referenced its signature attack in its title and featured it prominently in its title screen and intro sequence, players were understandably very surprised when the Egg given to them at the start of the game hatched into an Unown instead.
  • Few expected the fused Pokémon from Twitch Plays Pokémon Fused Crystal to actually appear as they were in the original run, but sure enough, Y appeared as the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town, using his original team of Megastoise, Quagynx, Togetape, Noctdrio, Jumpanium, and Steelurret.
  • There were a lot of guesses as to who would be found on top of Mt. Silver; popular theories included ×ᴹɴ(? from Twitch Plays Pokémon Chatty Yellow, the original RED from Twitch Plays Pokémon Red, his namesake from Twitch Plays Pokemon Gauntlet Red, one of the Pokémon Professors, or even one of the developers themselves. Ironically, the one opponent that nobody expected was Red with his unmodified team of Pikachu, Espeon, Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, and Snorlax, taken straight from the original games.
