''Twitch Plays Pokémon Sanqui Red & Blue'' is basically a precursor to the ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCharityDualRedAndBlue'' run, meant to showcase and iron out the dual input system returning from ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonDualRedAndBlue''. It features two simultaneously-played games of ''VideoGame/PokemonRed'' randomized through the [[https://sanqui.net/randomizer/#pokered Sanqui Randomizer]], a software that, on top of shuffling around items, movesets, overworld sprites, and so on, also replaces the entire Pokédex with a selection of 251 Pokémon from [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Generation I]] to [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Generation VI]], all of them being given their very own StylisticSuck custom sprites.
''Sanqui Red & Blue'' debuted as a "System Testing" intermission meant as a trial run for the overlay and dual input system intended for the upcoming ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCharityDualRedAndBlue Charity Dual Red & Blue]]'', which began on April 10th, 2022 and ended on April 12th, 2022, with both sides managing to reach the end of the game.
Following that, ''Sanqui Red & Blue'' returned as a sidegame during the following ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonArena Pokémon Battle Revolution]]'' intermission, from April 12th, 2022 to April 21st, 2022. It was initially a direct continuation of the "System Testing' intermission, reprising the same save files where they had left off; a few hours in however, both games were reset, with brand new "re-randomized" save files. This sidegame is notable for being the very first one to ''not'' use the "Congress" system in which players vote for a single input between each ''PBR'' match, instead being played in Anarchy during th matches and betting periods themselves, with every individual input being registered.

!!''Twitch Plays Pokémon Sanqui Red & Blue'' contains examples of:
* NonIndicativeName: The leftside game is referred to as ''"Sanqui Blue"'', but is actually ''Pokémon Red'' with a blue palette ; this is due to the Sanqui Randomizer only being compatible with ''Pokémon Red''.
* {{Pilot}}: ''Dual Sanqui Red & Blue'' can be seen as a pilot of sorts for ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCharityDualRedAndBlue Charity Dual Red & Blue]]'', as it was intended as a test for the dual inputting system as well as the new minimalistic interface, allowign any potential issues to be ironed out before the run proper.

** PlayedWith with the names of the Hosts. While "[[VideoGame/AmongUs AMOGUS]]" in ''Sanqui Red'' is definitely a weird name, it is quite tame by ''TPP'' standards, especially when compared to "[[TheUnpronounceable -??((]]" in ''Sanqui Blue''.
** The final teams of each side were composed of five relatively normal names and one gibberish one in ''Sanqui Red'' (SUSGIA, IMPOSTCIE, Cute, CREWROCK, COPIUM, and ZOOMX[ᴾₖᴹɴ]), and one relatively normal name and five gibberish ones in ''Sanqui Blue'' (LIFE, [=GGDs=], MMJFK, QHI???????, YXOXYIPᴾₖ,

* MythologyGag: The ''Red'' side's Marowak was named "COPIUM", a reference to the [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/copium meme of the same name]] that was repeatedly used during ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRandomizedBlack'' when talking about the Thick Club, an item meant to double Marowak's attack that players spent the entire run searching for without ever finding it.
