History Characters / TwitchPlaysPokemonArena

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The Arena Competitors are controlled by a computer rather than the Voices, who they can only manipulate the outcome of what attacks the computer may choose for the players.

* FollowTheLeader: You may never hit OneHundredPercentAdorationRating, but people who win consistently and play most often tend to get followers that bet with them and follow their commands. A spiritual successor of sorts to Chat Leaders in the main games.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Yellow.
