''Twitch Plays Pokémon Wilting Y'' is the third run of the stream's tenth season, which ran from April 8th, 2023 to April 21st, 2023. The game featured is a hack of ''VideoGame/PokemonY'' named ''"Wilting Y"'' and created by Buffel Saft, which sports changes such a higher difficulty curve, numerous balance adjustments, all Pokémon available in the wild, and greater availability for rare items and Mega Stones. The stream used the "Rebalanced Version" of the hack up until the Hall of Fame was first reached, at which point it switched to "[[HarderThanHard Insanity Mode]]" instead, which features purposely challenging battles sometimes to the point of unfairness.
Some elements commonly found in the lore of this run include the protagonist [=lthjittyy55o=] being either a robot ("Lithium") or a witch ("Lilith"), an Electivire taking the long-lost daughter of [[TragicBromance his late best friend Magmortar]] under his wing, and Yveltal being a [[TheCorruption corrupted incarnation]] of Lord Amber. Of course, all of it was, as always, fully subject to AlternativeCharacterInterpretation.

!!''Twitch Plays Pokémon Wilting Y'' contains examples of:
* ADogNamedCat:
** The team featured a Pinsir named "PIKACHU".
---> '''dingdingboom:''' PIKACHU BEST POKEMON
** A random Baltoy caught while making progress on Pokédex completion during Day 4 was named "Hitmontop".
* ADogNamedDog: Numerous Pokémon caught while trying to complete the Pokédex received names that fit this trope, such as a Chimecho named "ABELL", a Stoutland named "[=dog!=]", or a Cubchoo named "Bear". Special mention goes to Unown, which was very descriptively named "The Letter A".
* AerithAndBob: Notable members of the team throughout the run included SEPHIROTH (Yveltal), Magboo (Magmortar), Magtwo (Magmortar), PIKACHU (Pinsir), and Dodries (Dodrio) on the Bob side of this trope, and [=!!iyyéééroff=] (Greninja), [=EleSHha!A♂♂=] (Electivire), [=MadeInAbyss♥=] (Dragalge), and [=AMBER6=] (Aerodactyl) on the Aerith side.
* AscendedMeme: One Eevee was named "[=HeyGuys=]", in reference to [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/vaporeon#vaporeon-copypasta an infamous copypasta]] relating to its evolution Vaporeon. This was eventually {{subverted}} when it evolved into Flareon instead.
* EvilCounterpart: Yveltal and Aerodactyl were both major members of the team for this run, albeit rarely if ever present in it at the same time. With them both being prominent Pokémon of the run, the latter one of the major deities from the lore of ''TPP'' and the former a plot-relevant mascot Legendary, a sizeable amount of players ended up picturing Yveltal as a [[TheCorruption corrupted incarnation]] of Lord Amber.
* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo:
** Pictures of [=Gg113ktyhh4w=] that were taken during ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonStar'' briefly showed up while browsing SD card photos early on Day 7.
** In-between attempts to defeat the Pokémon League in Insanity Mode, characters from previous ''TPP'' runs were added to [=lthjittyy55o=]'s Friend List, allowing the Voices to battle against them (controlled by the Streamer).
*** Etr from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonGauntletX Gauntlet X]]'' used a team composed of Togekiss, Clefable, and Snorlax, all three being Pokémon that were traded to her near the end of that run and only knew the move [[RandomEffectSpell Metronome]].
*** The first battle against [=ébneert=] from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRisingRuby Rising Ruby]]'' had his main party banned due to featuring Diancie's Mega-Evolution (which does not exist in ''Pokémon Y''), and thus instead used Pokémon from his Battle Box, leading with [=AZZ TTTXXSSS=] (Lilligant). Said battle was forfeited, and the Streamer fixed the issue, leading to a second Rotation Battle in which [=ébneert=] instead used [=Lg★ᶻᴢᶻᴢᶻᴢᶻᴢᶻᴢᶻᴢ=] (Cradily), fish (Kingdra), [=CEO’’(+=] ~##~ (Excadrill), [=♥=] (Diancie), noob (Dunsparce), and Ditto.
*** {{Subverted}} with [=!!!0999 qq=] from ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonAlphaSapphire Alpha Sapphire]]'', which like [=ébneert=] had her party banned due to her Rayquaza knowing Dragon Ascent, a move that also did not exist in ''Pokémon Y''. The game still refused to allow the battle to happen even after Rayquaza was deposited, leading to it not actually happening.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Magboo joined the team on the very first day of the run as a Magby, and soon evolved all the way into Magmortar, becoming a mainstay member of the team up until Day 5, on which a malicious input caused it to be released. The chat immediately went back to Route 5 to catch another Magby, which they named "Magtwo" and proceeded to heavily {{level grind}} so that it could catch up to the rest of the team.
* ShoutOut:
** Skrelp was named "Abyss" upon capture; some time after evolving, it was renamed to "[=MadeInAbyss♥=]", a reference to [[Manga/MadeInAbyss the manga of the same name]].
** Yveltal was named "SEPHIROTH", after the main antagonist of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''.
* TragicBromance: Due to joining the team and later evolving around the same time, as well as the Electabuzz and Magmar families being considered counterparts of each other, [=EleSHha!A♂♂=] (Electivire) and Magboo (Magmortar) were seen by players as a duo of sort. As a result, after the latter was released and replaced with a Magby named "Magtwo" and commonly claimed to be its heir, it was a popular interpretation among players that [=EleSHha!A♂♂=] took Magtwo as its protegee, out of friendship and respect towards its late partner.
