History Trivia / TwitchPlaysPokemon

* MemeAcknowledgement: The app version of Twitch will occasionally recommend the user to consult Helix if the app fails to load properly.

* ColbertBump: thanks to the intermission between ''LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal'' and ''LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemonEmerald'', games like the ''{{Videogame/Petz}}'' series and ''{{Videogame/Telefang}}'' are gaining more popularity.

** The stream was also set for a time to play Sonic Advance 2.

** Now a Super Mario Land mod with Pokemon characters.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: No, [[http://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/1yvzmu/analysis_of_the_151_rom the ROM was not hacked to make all Pokémon available]] (though it was originally intended to be). No, grinding money with Meowth is not an option (although the presence of the ''TM'' Pay Day makes it possible with other Pokémon). Also, the step counter in the Safari Zone was not removed in any attempts, as shown below.

** They also stated that there would be no Emerald playthrough if Red was not defeated by day 20. Since Red was defeated less than a day after the announcement, we'll never have to worry about that. Hopefully.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WordOfGod The designer said]] that he might have turned the step count off in the Safari Zone if needed, but he wanted to see if it can be solved without that change first. Luckily, Democracy Mode helped make that possible.

* The game was completed in 16 days, 7 hours, 45 minutes and 30 seconds.

* Several hours later the host of the channel streamed the following for the chat to play: Pokemon Pinball, Pokemon The Trading Card Game and a modified version of Link's Awakening DX with pokemon sprites on the over world such as Link being replaced with Red who is colored green.

* FanNickname: Mainly due to most of the Pokémon Red catches turning into TheUnpronounceable.
** "Abby" for ABBBBBBK(
** "Jay Leno" for JLVWNNOOOO
** “Bird Jesus” for Pidgeot. "Abba Jesus" after being renamed.
** "False Shepherd" and "False Prophet" for Eevee/Flareon.
*** Was later re-nicknamed [[TheScapegoat The Martyr]] in the eyes of the majority of the mob.
** "The Keeper" for Drowzee.
** "Dig Rat" for the second Rattata later renamed as AAJST(????, thought by a few to mean "[[VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney Apollo Justice]]."
*** [="BigDig"=]after its evolution to Raticate.
** "Seed of Hope", for Gloom. "Cabbage" and "Xcabbage" before her rename.
** "[[RollerCoasterTycoon Mr. Giovanni's Wild Ride]]" and "Hell" for the Rocket Hideout.
** "Slayer of Trees" for Dux.
** "Twitch" for Red (referencing Red's innumerable [[http://i.imgur.com/iX98LPU.gif "twitchy" movements]] and/or Website/{{Twitch}}, the website that is hosting the stream). Fans occasionally call him [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]] thanks to his IdiotHero status in-universe.
** [="TripleC"=], [="C3KO"=], and [[Franchise/StarWars "C3PO"]] for CCC the Hitmonlee.
** "X-Wing" for X the Zubat.
** "Dashbat" and "Jessy" for JJSSSSS- the Zubat previously known as [=---=].
** [[Music/RickAstley "Rick Gastly"]] and "Holy Spirit" for Gastly.
** "ATV"/"All-Terrain Venomoth" for the Venomoth named AATTVVV. It would later earn the nickname "Dragonslayer" after singlehandedly defeating Lance's final Dragonite without taking a single hit, despite being at about half Dragonite's level.
** "Air", [[Main/MichaelJordan "Air Jordan"]], and [[Series/FreshPrinceOfBelAir "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"]] for the Lapras named AIIIIIIRRR.
** Some comical incidents also have names, such as [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo "Ledge 2: Electric Boogaloo"]], the second attempt at ''walking in a straight line''.
*** And for less comical incidents too. The release of 12 Pokémon on Day 11 became baptized as [[UsefulNotes/TheTroubles "Bloody Sunday]]" and [[Series/GameOfThrones "Red Wedding]]". The period when [[http://i.imgur.com/WU9fUEG.png Red was stuck]] in Cinnabar Island's Pokémon Mansion for about 1.5 hours straight has also been dubbed "Grindhog Day" and "The Great Burglar And Table In Our Way Crisis".
** Immediately after being captured and named 'AA—j', Zapdos received nicknames such as "Battery Bird", "Bird Zeus", "Anarchy Jesus", "Archangel Jesus", "Archangel of Justice", "Alkaline Jolt", "Apple Jacks," and "Double A". People who call him "John the Zaptist" get funny looks tossed their way.
** Despite not having an in-game nickname, it goes without saying that Omanyte is still referred to by the mob as [[BigGood Helix]].
** "Mob Children" for the Pokémon Tower Channelers.
** "Fat Guy Island" for a small island (north of Cinnabar Island and south of Pallet Town) that Red constantly got stuck on. Named for the two rather rotund fishermen residing there.
** "[[Videogame/PunchOut Glass Blue]]" for Blue, Red's rival with a very consistent losing streak. His wins were even flukes, just like his namesake.
** "[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion A Cruel Trainer's Thesis]]" for the entire Let's Play, mainly due to the fact that it was originally conceived as a social experiment.
** "Clutch ____" for pretty much any effect that benefits Red's Pokémon and worsens the condition of the opponent Pokémon, with the most common variants being "Clutch CriticalHit" and "Clutch [[StandardStatusEffects Paralysis]]".
** Restgong for Lorelei's Dewgong, due to Rest being that particular Dewgong's [[SpamAttack typical move of choice]] whenever Red battles Lorelei (and also due to some [[ArtificialStupidity bad AI]] [[http://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/1z7nqa/dewgong_against_omastar_will_always_rest/ against Red's Omastar]]).
** "Rage War" for the Elite Four battle between Bruno's Onix and Bird Jesus. He triggered Mirror Move while Onix was in Rage Mode, causing him to get similarly furious. What followed suit was a series of back-and-forth Rage attacks that kept Bird Jesus enraged long enough to KO the next challenger long after Onix fainted.
** FanCommunityNickname: The users themselves are usually referred to as "The Mob", "The Hive Mind", and, more infrequently, "The Chat" or simply "Website/{{Twitch}}".
