History Trivia / TwitchPlaysPokemon

** [[http://www.twitch.tv/xkeeper_ Twitch Plays Pokémon Plays Tetris.]] The same players who are playing ''Twitch Plays Pokémon'', and all their control inputs, are ALSO playing ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' at the same time.

** [[http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemonyellow Twitch Plays Pokémon Yellow]].
** [[http://www.twitch.tv/rngplayspokemon RNG Plays Pokémon]]. As the name suggests, the commands are (mostly) randomised by computer, with a few exceptions.

** [[http://www.twitch.tv/trakof Twitch Plays Pokémon Blue (now known as ''Twitch Plays Pokémon Gold'')]] gets a special nod for completing Blue, thanks to the smaller viewerbase leading a bit more organized of a playthrough.

** [[http://www.twitch.tv/fishplayspokemon Fish Plays Pokémon]].

** There's a line from the French version of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]'', where Brawly says he got inspired to study Pokémon after observing a Helix Fossil for days.
** The official Pokémon twitter making a joke regarding how people worship Helix.
** A [[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1631025805445791745?cxt=HHwWgoC8kYPVyKItAAAA video]] was posted to various official Pokémon accounts asking people to rate a team; said team is a recreation of the final team from ''Twitch Plays Pokémon Red''.
* MissingEpisode: The first 41 hours of the stream do not survive because no one was recording until then. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-_cJJD070U&list=PLfIss4eoF7hy3DWjL90AdE_zJz7sjQddD extant footage]] begins with the mob already in Cerulean City.
* UrbanLegendOfZelda: No, [[http://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/1yvzmu/analysis_of_the_151_rom the Red 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.

* TheWikiRule: Has one [[http://helixpedia.wikia.com/wiki/TPPedia_Wiki here]].

** There's a line from the French version of one of the later games, where Brawly says he got inspired to study Pokémon after observing a Helix Fossil for days.

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

** Two of the games that were supposed to be played during the fifth season were ''Team Rocket Edition'', a ''[=FireRed=]'' hack, and ''Metronome Sapphire'', in which every move would've been replaced with Metronome. Due to the former being deemed to unstable by the development team to be played on stream, and the latter proving more difficult to set up than expected, they were replaced with ''[[LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemonFloraSky Flora Sky]]'' and ''[[LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemonFusedCrystal Fused Crystal]]'' instead.

* FanNickname: A lot of Pokemon have been given fan nicknames over the course of the playthroughs. Pokemon are often given unpronouncable names that are just random letters, so they are often given nicknames that are easier to remember and type. Many recieve nicknames that are based on they way their nonsensical nicknames might sound (like ZDNNNG the Skitty was named [[DirtyCommunists "Chairman Meow Zedong"]]), their powers or abilities (like Digrat, the Rattata who knew Dig and [[WhatAnIdiot often used it at inopportune moments]]), or their supposed divine origin (such as Lord Helix, an Omanyte that came from the holy Helix fossil that Red looked at over and over again).

* MissingEpisode: The first 47 hours of the stream do not survive because no one was recording until then. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-_cJJD070U&list=PLfIss4eoF7hy3DWjL90AdE_zJz7sjQddD extant footage]] begins with the mob already in Cerulean City.

* AllThereInTheManual: The series has a couple of official documents for information about the characters and some of their interpretations; a [[https://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/3oaaxd/twitch_pok%C3%A9dex_project_901_entries/ Pokedex]], a Fame Checker ([[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ALyGo-qQQPFpn6eItPDSN3fHgTAAhO8764EfQPvVaJU/edit?pli=1 Season 1]], [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZR5rDoAvrk7Y8sO1CD5zsuRnI3nZ04T-WJD3QGkCIhA/edit Season 2]]), a [[http://helixpedia.wikia.com/wiki/TPPedia_Wiki Lore Wiki]], and a wealth of other sources of content that help explain some of the other lore for the characters and give off descriptions of their adventures.

* BigNameFan: Several of the "mainstay" members of the mob have reached this status. There's Chauzu, who helps manage to the competitive balance of ''Arena'', [=Addrash1=], who is the current leader when it comes to having the highest Pokeyen in ''Arena'', and Pioxys, who use to manage the Tumblr ask blog. Deku started out as this, but was eventually [[PromotedFanboy promoted]] when he came up with the system that allowed the mob to play 3DS and console games.

** There's a line from the French version of one of the later games, where an NPC says he got inspired to study Pokemon after observing a Helix Fossil for days.

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

!! Other Trivia
* Each input in chat is processed for one frame of gameplay. As a result, in order for Pokémon evolution to be canceled (with the cancellation having a duration of 3 frames), three consecutive inputs of the B Button in the chat are necessary.
* Several hours after a run is completed the Streamer puts up a variety of side games for the chat to play. Such as: Pokemon Pinball, Pokemon The Trading Card Game and a modified version of Link's Awakening DX called "Pokemon of the Past", a Super Mario Land mod with Pokemon characters, the 3DS Home Menu, Super Smash Bros for 3DS, and Petz.
** The stream was also set for a time to play Sonic Advance 2. Being a fast-paced side scroller compared to Pokemon's turn-based RPG style, problems immediately began to show themselves. Problems such as Sonic ''not running''.
* Over half of all runs to this point have used a member of the Eevee family at some point in time, including every run since the start of Season 2. (Names in bold made it to the Hall of Fame, or were part of the final team in the case of the Gamecube games which have no Hall of Fame.) ''Red'' had Martyr/False Prophet the Flareon, ''Crystal'' had '''Burrito the Espeon''', ''Platinum'' had '''Solaireon the Flareon''', ''Anniversary Red'' had Sam the Flareon, ''Moemon'' had '''Baeporeon the Vaporeon''', ''Alpha Sapphire'' had '''Feereon the Glaceon''' and Lampeon the Flareon[[note]]While Lampeon was not in any Hall of Fame team, it was nonetheless considered an important part of the run, as it was the final evolution of the beleaguered starter and evolving it to its final form was considered one of the win conditions[[/note]], ''Colosseum'' had '''Nacho the Espeon and Taco the Umbreon''' as the starters, ''XD'' had Eevee as the starter, ''Anniversary Crystal'' had Sergeant Doom the Vaporeon and '''Fox [=McCloud=] the Jolteon''', ''Brown'' had '''Burger King the Sylveon''', and ''Randomized Platinum'' had Metal Bee the Umbreon.
** In addition, both '''Altareon the Altaria''' from ''[=FireRed=]'' and '''Grasscutter the Sandslash''' from ''Randomized Platinum'' were received from [=NPC=]s who give out Eevee in a non-randomized game.
* Every randomized run in which Pokémon received from [=NPCs=] are randomized has had something randomized to a Sandslash. Alice bought a Sandslash from the Magikarp salesman in Mt. Moon; Aooo received one from the elder of Dragon's Den, and as mentioned above, Bebe gave PP a Sandslash instead of an Eevee.
