Over 70,000 people are playing the same game of Pokemon on Twitch.

They indeed did. I was hoping they'd take that Rhyhorn, though

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

The current objective appears to be Lapras.

AT Vampire remains my personal favorite.

And while they're at it, they might also decide to beat Giovanni.

I severely doubt it.

Bleye knows Sabers.

I'm pretty sure they have to in order to access Sabrina's Gym.

Not to mention that they need Giovanni to go back to his gym in order to get the final badge.

We now have a Lapras named AIIIIIIRRR.

There's talk of depositing Cabbage the Gloom at the Daycare so it can learn Petal Dance and Solarbeam, to counter Lorelei of the Elite 4, since her mostly-ice party will be nasty against Bird Jesus. Problem is, Cabbage knows Cut, so it won't be accepted by the Daycare with an HM. Meaning, to be deposited, they have to visit the Move Deleter...

I don't think there's a move deleter in any Gen 1 game.

There isn't. No Pokemon in this game who have been taught a HM will be able to go to the Daycare.

Probably for the best. Accidentally deleting all their best moves is bad enough when just leveling up or using tms. Using a move deleter would probably cripple their entire party.

So, they've managed to beat both Giovanni Mk.2 and Sabrina. Bravo. Too bad they now seem to be in two-thousand minds on how to proceed now.

Some people want to go get Zapdos. Others want to go to Cinnabar via Fuchsia so they can get Articuno. Another group wants to go via Pallet Town because dodging the maze of the islands is a very good idea. The end result is that they are getting pretty much nowhere, and they are currently in the fighting dojo to pick up Hitmonchan, even though that's impossible.

Bloody hell, it's like watching the 70000 stooges.

Ah ah ah! 100,000+ Stooges.

Currently Red is past the ledge of doom on Route 9, but seems to keep going back and forth between Route 10's Pokemon Center and the patch of grass just north of that. is trying to get into the water in Route 10.

Far as I can tell from the recap, this is the first time there have been massive disagreements pointing to completely opposite places on the map: Democracy control lead to giving up and going back to the main plot, but everyone else is either trying to reach the Power Plant or do some level-grinding in Route 10. I'm kind of amazed so many people got suddenly dead-set on the Power Plant, given the chat flies so fast it's useless for anything besides input commands.

Going to Zapdos seems to me like a waste of time: it's really far out of the way and the most likely outcome is Zapdos becoming Lost Forever (from the Master Ball getting used beforehand or tossed, Bird Jesus KO-ing it, Zapdos causing a white-out, or Red running from the battle like he did from Snorlax). That said, there are so many people trying it seems the best course is to go with it and get whatever happens out of the way as quick as possible.

As a side note, we seem to be getting very close to the game's play-time cap (as in the playtime measurement on the save menu won't get any longer).

Well, given Zapdos is at the end of the plant, and you encounter pokemon all throughout it, going there still allows some leveling.

EDIT: ANARCHY CAUGHT ZAPDOS WITH THE MASTERBALL!!

What's the next game you'd want to see Twitch Played like this? I vote for Within a Deep Forest.

Pokemon Silver. Don't mess with a winning concept and all that.

Man, I can't believe they actually managed to get Zapdos. But now, they have to perform an even more perilous task: retrieving it from the PC.

They've already boxed most of their party by accident and came perilously close to releasing Zapdos.

Right now they're struggling to activate Democracy, though the Anarchists claim a troll named Destiny is going to use his horde of bots to hijack Democracy and release their best mons.

The claim is true, Destiny is another Twitch streamer and was saying it on his stream. Don't know if they're bots or just his viewers though.

I'm pretty sure that, on any site with mods that give a damm, that would be a banning offence.

Trolls aside, democracy would be a great way of dealing with the dreaded PC.

"he was one of the first people to ever start streaming video games in the first place. He knows a lot of twitch admins. In fact he talked to a twitch admin in chat and pretty much they came to the consensus that all he had to do was take away the stream from his stream. He could still talk about it and dictate stuff to his viewers though.

There wasn't anything significantly malicious that he was doing relative to what's already happening. The TPP stream is more liable to being taken down if anything else."

The Protomen enhanced my life.

Blue will see Silver coming up the mountain at the end of the game.

He will see the sporadic movements and grimace.

Great, he's friends with the admins. Doesn't make him any less of a dick, though.

As for the stream itself, they are still fighting to get to the PC. Right now, the people who want to get away from the terrible, terrible pc seem to have an edge. They've entered Dark Cave, and declared Zapdos the prophet of the New Testament.

Unfortunately, they haven't gotten Lapras back, and they've also dumped the HM 03 into the PC, so I sure hope the "get Bird Jesus back" faction will put up the fight a little longer.

I'm pretty sure the maker of this stream already has a separate stream going of Pokemon Crystal.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Isn't there also a Mario one? I also thought I saw something about a World Of Warcraft one, but that just sounds insane.
