YMMV / Twitch Plays Pokémon Star

• Fan Nickname:
  • Gg113ktyhh4w, the main character for the run, was pretty much immediately dubbed "Gigi" by players.
  • The Lillie NPC standing in the background of most battles was often referred to as Phantom Lillie by the chat.
  • Popplio was picked as a starter and named !j (9999reej, which some read as "Reeject" partly due to Rowlet being the most desired choice, and others as "Jerry", which became "Jenny" when it became female after evolving into Primarina-X.
  • One of the first Pokémon caught during the run was a Totodile named LNNDTOD TWO, which most players immediately interpreted as "Todd Two".
  • BZYYH, an Alolan Voltorb that eventually evolved into Blacephalon, was usually referred to as "Buzzy".
  • A Fennekin that was caught early on and kept on the team was referred to as "SimFox", as a reference to the Fennekin partner from the prior Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon intermission that was named "Sim" after the tppsimulator bot.

• Memetic Mutation:
  • HOLY SHIT A KAHUNA ^Explanation A variation of the "HOLY SHIT A KAKUNA" phrase from Chatty Crystal used in the presence of the four island kahunas.
    • HOLY SHIT WE'RE A KAHUNA ^Explanation A variation of the above phrase used when the game's story promoted the main character to the rank of kahuna.
  • Hello are you playing on the Citra emulator? This is the part where you will get an unavoidable crash. Go edit your save or something since we don't know how to fix it. ^Explanation A copypasta derived from the dialogue of the Alola Photo Club receptionist, which breaks the fourth wall to inform the player that there is an unavoidable crash ahead and instructing them to either manually edit their save to bypass it or use an already existing save file instead.
  • #BloomScreenOfDoom ^Explanation During a battle against a wild Landorus, MEIRA used Bloom Doom, the Grass-type Z-move, which caused the game to crash right after the animation completed.
  • #CircusParty ^Explanation Soon after Electrode evolved into Blacephalon, the Voices started discussing the fact that the party seemed to have a "circus" theme to it, with Blacephalon as a clown, Brionne as a circus seal, Mimiku as a puppet, and Braixen as a magician; the idea stuck around for the remainder of the run, with several discussions about the roles filled by each party member.
